Mr.. ]. T. Tingle, State Swine Spe-
cialist is in town this week, Judging
the pig club members pigs.
Sedgwick County will be well rep
resented at the great Western Life
stock Show in January in Denver.
Several pigs raised by the Club Men,
hers will be there to compete Tor the
"bip money" in the pig club and open
classes. In commenting on the club
pigs in the county, Mr.. Tingle says:
"You have some of the finest indi-
vidua]s in the state, and should be able
to get in the money in any exhibit"
An exhibit of corn is also being Sc
cured to represent Sedgwick county
at the Great Western Livestock Show.
Warning To Horse Breeders
The horse situation should receive
careful attention from the farmers; 1t
is getting into critical condition.
The cost of production has greatly
increased, while selling prices Of hors-
es has decreased. Automobiles. trac-
tors and trucks are responsible for
the present situation, and what the
future situation is to be no person
can predict. The war coming when
it did saved the industry from disas-
ter. because tremendously large
number of horses were sent to Europe
for war purposes.
The government Year Book shows
that about the same number of horses
is being raised as formerly. but that
nr;ces are decreasing. In Ohio the
number Of horses raised last year de-
creased 5000 head, and the price
dropped from $119 to s1l2 per head;
in Indiana the decrease was 5000
head. and the price dropped from $l0s
to s1O5 per head; in Illinois there
.u.s an increase in numbers, but the
nrice dropped from $106 to SOB per
head; in Michigan there was no IN
crease or decrease, and the prices
dropped from $121 to $11s per head;
in wisconsin the decrease was 7,Np
head, and the price dropped from S12o
to Silt per head; in Minnesota there
was an increase, but the price drop
red from $109 to sos per head; IN
Iowa there was an increase in num-
bers but there was drop in prices
from $1O7 to $l04 per head; in North
Dakota there was an increase in the
numbers, but prices dropped from $loe
to $102 per head; in Colorado there
was an increase Of 10000 head, and
an increase in price from 1913 to $97
per head. The total value Of horses
in Colorado January l, 1918 was $Ss.-
7O3. 900. This is the handwriting on
the wall, and horse breeders and far
.mers should take notice.
There is a. big demand for good
heavy draft horses, md prices are
satisfactory. While the price Of the
average horse in Colorado is e9b: co.
good heavy horses weighing 1900 lhs.
Or more are selling from $40 TO 500
per head. As it costs at least $500
to raise horse now, the only kind
that will bring the price should be

"Over 1O,742,376 bushels Of corn

NEWS NOTES FROM COUNTY AGENT
By WALTER J. OFT, Agent

raised. This is the heavy draft. The
demand for such is increasing. The
farmer, by using the tractor and the
truck, is learning to appreciate this
type and the demand increases; cit
les want no other kind and foreign
countries are beginning to take them
to rehabilitate their herds destroyed
by war conditions Canada has tax
en- a number this year for breeding
purposes, and England is beginning
to call for them. Good ones only are
wanted, price is according to quality,
they can be raised at profit, and
they are the only ones that can be.
From now on farmers should use
only pure-bred, sound, typey, heavy
stations. The weight should not he
under 1900 pounds in ordinary flesh.
The unsound, light weight poor type
grade and scrub stallion will now
bring the farmers in Colorado into
bankruptcy. There is no market for
their progeny at any price.
All mature mares that weigh un-
der 1900 pounds, and all that weigh
above that. that are unsound and of
poor type, should not be bred, and the
sooner they are gotten rid of the bet
ter.
This is the season of the year when
farmers should plan their horse
breeding operations for the coming
year and begin to look around for
stations. They should get the best,
and price should make no difference
For further information write to the
Agricultural College, Fort Collins,
Colorado.
Results of the Pig Club contest will
be given in the County Agents notes
next week.
