DIGGING WAR GARDEN SPUDS

Harvesting the crops from Gunnison
war gardens is making right busy
time for lot Of folks about town.
Almost everybody had spud patch.
if not carrots, bccts. cabbagcs and
caulItlOwcr TO put away.
The potatoes are turning out splcn-
didly. Most Of those we have seen
promise from 100 to $50 sacks to the
acre. A sack TO the 100 foot row
would mean about $50 sacks to the
acre. Lots Of patches go much more
than this.
II. NJ. Webster tells US the Masonic
Rcd Cross potatoes will yield a ton
he figures on selling them at sc
a pound to help out the cause. but the
present local price ranges from Sl.50
wholesale to $3.50 retail in the stores.
As the News-C Champion gave warn
ing some weeks ago, potatoes must

WESTERN SLOPE WHEAT
PRICE PROBABLY FIXED

Montrose millers announce that
S2.c3 Per hundred pounds will be the
1Iliug price for No. hard red winter
heat, based on the government rul-
.ng Of s2-20 per bushel at the wheat
-onters. No. l wheat must weigh 6l
pounds to bushel or better.
The Montrose Press reports:
The local price paid by the dealers
aased on the government price at Kan
as City, is s3.05 per 100 pounds, less
-Ich dockage, waste in wild oats,
hal, dirt and foreign substances
hlch sometimes appear in the thresh-
ID wheat
There are five grades, the grades
from one 10 FIVE inclusive, testing
rom 81 lbs. to the bu. with a differ
initial of about three cents per bushel
1otween grades, making difference
u about Is cents in the prices from
1gh TO low, but always less the dock
age, which may be small or great, ac-
rnrdIng to the manner and care of
,hr"shing.
Since the government has designat-
"a the price, grade and how the dock
age is TO be ascertained, it is advis-
able for every farmer to clean his
wheat before bringing il TO the mill
He can thus save what oats and other
Fo-cign substances he gets in the
r.-aning. for stock feed, which would
o,herwise be dead loss 10 him at the
mill.

Cheaper to Heat Water than for Cows
Themselves to Do II With Expen-
sive Feed.
H. C. Nevius, Colorado Agricultural
College, Fort Collins, Colorado:
A good supply of clean, fresh wa
ter should always be at hand for
dairy cows. Much water is needed
for high-producing milch cows ow-
ing to the nature of her product,
about 81 per cent of which is water.
1t should be handy at all times and
in the winter, if the tank is outside,
heat should be applied to take the
chill off the water. Cows will drink
more water if warmed to 60 or 70
degrees F. tank heater can be provided
at low cost that will keep water at
proper temperature, thereby saving
feed and energy of the animal. It is
cheaper to warm ice water than to
allow the COW to warm it with high
priced feed.

"The big event was the free for all
cowboy relay race, with four strings of
race horses. McCully on the Gates
string took the lead, with Vance fol-
lowing closely. 1t was nip and tuck
between these two great riders; their
changes were made rapidly, but an
accident to McCully, causing him to
fall as he jumped from one horse de-
layed him a bit and let Vance surge
ahead. They ended side by side, with
Vance in the lead. As between Han
sen & Mays string and L. ]. Little's
string, it was neck and neck for third
place. The latter had the best of it
until the last lap, when May had the
best horse and beat Lamb by a neck.
In the wild horse race, Cark Williams
was first; Will Kelly, second.
In the bucking contest w. BERTHE put
on . great exhibition by riding Sleepy
Tom, dandy bucker, with feet out
