half carload OF monuments and
will complete the carload in time to
have monuments in place by Decora-
tion Day. All those contemplating
placing an order with us soon can do
SO in time to get in on the first

with carload means the sayiAv Of
money since there is considerable
difference between local freight and
carload freight rates. We handle the
Colorado granite which is most en-

We're fed ground barley and alfalfa
hay, and the results demonstrated
the value of the latter as a part of

of hay and $50 pounds of barley to
produce 100 pounds Of gain. Under
ordinary conditions where barley is
the sole ration it requires 430 pounds
to 500 pounds to produce this amount
of gain. The man conducting the test
found the leafy crop Of alfalfa pro-

EXCHANGE MAY ACT FOR

The uses to which an organization
will probably be shown in the pres
ent war crisis. There is need for a
directing head to the production of
ioodstuffs and its distribution, to live
stock timber, fuel, to the mobiliza-
ton OF army recruits, formation of
home gardens and a general super
vision ove- the common welfare and
safety. G. .erHor Gunter may desig-
nate the Exchenge directors as the
committee T. nave all these matters
in charge foi the San Juan section.
Crop data from the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture for March shows
that the outlook for the country gem
orally is not up to normal. Winter
wheat during the month had favor
able weather over states from Miss.
ouri eastward. In Iowa, Nebraska,
central and western Kansas, Oklaho-
ma and northern Texas, the drouth
has injured the wheat seriously In
many places the ground is being
plowed for other crops. Colorado and
the Rocky Mountain states have a
good wheat outlook, but on the -Pacif-
ic coast the weather was unfavor-
able for winter wheat. Dry ground is
delaying cotton and corn planting in
Texas and Oklahoma. Cotton plant
ing from l5 to 90 days behind nor
NAL seasons in the southern states.
Truck crops ard potatoes in the Gulf
states were damaged by frost March
4th and 9TH. Further north the sea-
son is so backward that these crops
have not had time to sprout.
Stock losses due to shortage of feed
have occurred in the upper Rocky
Mountain and Great Plains states.
Montana was especially hard hit. Loss
Of lambs and ewes was heavy in Ore
gon. Fruit was damaged by the frost
on the 9TH and 5th in the Gulf states,
and apricots and almonds in Califor-
mia. Fruit is backward in the noun
tain states and the Pacific northwest
That arrangements will be made to
give the farmers and stock raisers Of
the San Juan region market for all
they produce this year is certain, and
il is the duty of every farmer and
stock raiser to make his best efforts.
In some places arrangements to pro-
vide seed for those owning land and
unable to buy seed, are being made.
This will hardly be necessary in the
San Juan basin, according to infor-
nation received by the Exchange, but
there may be few cases. All such
should apply to the Exchange sec
retary.
