DEHYDRATION PLANTS TO
SAVE WASTE FRUIT

Colorado is going in for dehydration
of vegetables and fruits as one means
of helping the farmer dispose of all
of his crop, rather than have a large
part of it rot in the fields and orchards
because there is no immediate market.
But Colorado is going to engage in
this very necessary war endeavor in a
business like way and without loss to
the people through wild-catting COM
panies. Governor Gunter and his
State Council of Defense have taken
up the matter in earnest. Legitimate
companies, large and small, will be
induced and encouraged to enter the
dehydration fruit and vegetable fields
of Colorado. But q small committee
of the war council will closely scruti-
nize the standing of each company
which incorporates for the purpose Of
selling stock to the public. Results
for the people are desired, not merely
the promotion of stock companies.
Those entering the field must con-
vince the committee as appointed by
Governor Gunter, that they really in
tend to do business, not just sell stock
and then quit.
There are many good processes for
dehydration, and there are some bad
ones. Colorado wants her crops for
war purposes and the governor pro-
poses to see that they go to that good
use.

WHY SMUT SOMETIMES APPEAR
THOUGH SEED WAS TREATED

State Agricultural College, Fl. Collins
From time TO time the report comes
from farmers that smut appears in
their fields even though the seed used
was treated. There are several reas-
on why this will occur.
The solution used was too weak.
2-Exposure to the solution was too
short.
3-After dipping or sprinkling with
fOrmuiIn, the grain was not covered
TO keep formalIn fumes in contact
with the grain.
i-The unbrokcn smut balls" of
bunt were not entirely penetrated BY
the fungicide, and unless they are re-
moved by the tanning mill or floatcd
20 the top and skinned Oft of an open
tank Of solution, they Will infest the
crop.
Smut in winter wheat, which
has been treated, may be due to spores
in the soil. In thrcshing smutty
wheat, dense clouds of smut spores
arise from the stacker and are blown
several miles, infcstirg the soil.

MILLION DOLLAR HAY CROP
GOES Up RAPIDLY

Fine weather has pushed haying
business thru the length and breadth
of the land these last three week. Ey-
erywhere the grass is bending low ard
the ricks of hay are climbing. KHAKI
tents along the meadow stretches. At
lola, and along the lower stretches Of
the Gunnison west of town the ranch
men are nearly done and some have
discharged their men, who again are
hired by farmers up the higher valleys
where grass starts late and does not
mature until three weeks after it does
at lola and Sapinero.
Another two weeks of this same
weather and our million dollar hay
crop will be safely stacked against
the winter SHOWS.
So far there has been no real short
age of labor, due no doubt TO the ex-
cellent system established by the
Council Of Defense for providing this
labor.
We note that at Grand junction,
the peach harvest starts of with
twice the number of pickers needed
AS a matter of fact the American peo-
pie have not begun to exert themsel-
yes yet in this matter of labor. We
have hardly taken up the slack. Next
year, with four million men in Europe
and two million more training here
the shortage may be felt severely.

SPUD BUYERS WILL INSIST
ON STANDARD GRADING

This fall, potato buyers, whether
buying for the government or the
general trade, will insist on standard
grading from the growers, states DR..
f. p. Sandsten, of the State Agricul-
tural College, at Fort Collins. "This
will necessitate more careful work,
not only in harvesting but in the grad
ing of potatoes" DIR. Sandsten saws.
inspection Of shipments will be made
at the loading station. Inspection
will be provided for jointly by the
Colorado State Growers Association,
the U. S. Food Administrations the
Bureau Of Markets, and the Colorado
Potato Shippers Association. The
grades given BY the inspector will be
final and binding on both seller and
buyer. This will eliminate disputes
between the seller and the buyer and
will place them on an equal footing.
"The effect of this arrangement up
on the potato-growing industry will
be. on the whole, beneficial. II will
put premium on quality, and the
the point Of consumption. This waste
alone for the United States amounted
to about 60,000000 bushels. This
amount should have been left on the
farm and fed to live stock. The loss
in transportation charges, carriage and
containers, amounted to several mil
lion dollars, which in the end came out
of the producers pockets. 1t is hop
ed that the new arrangement will, to
q large extent, eliminate this tre-
mendous waste.

MEAT RULINGS LIFTED

Greatly increased shipments of light
weight cattle to market because of
serious drought in certain sections of
the country is responsible for the lift
ing of the ban on the service of beef
in hotels and restaurants. Prior to the
abolition of the restrictions, beef un-
der the order of the United States
Food Administration, was allowed to
be served at only one meal each day.
"This relaxation of rules does not
mean, however, that meat conserva-
ton is at an end", declared Elmer f.
Lucus, Chairman of the Hotel and
Restaurant Division of the Colorado
Food Administration, ait simply
means that to prevent waste, the Ad-
ministration is providing for the use
of the light weight cattle which are
on the market. The larger beef-wei-
Ching more than ATS pounds-is need
ed for war export, and hotel and res
taurant men who are endeavoring to
live up to Food Administration rul-
ing should not purchase any except
the light carcasses."

LABOR SHORTAGE BEGINS
TO LOOK SERIOUS
Colorado State Council of Defense
Sounds Note of Alarm.

Within few days the labor short
age will become evident throughout
the country.
The final tabulations of labor de-
mands show present shortage of one
million unskilled laborers in the war
industries. This shortage will be much
increased as soon as the new army
draft increases the need for supplies.
The skilled labor situation is equal
ly serious.
Georgia has been notified that un-
less she can furnish 5000 laborers at
once for the $4,000 900 picric acid
plant at Brunswick the entire con-
struction force will be laid off and the
plant moved out of Georgia.
The Midvale Steel Plant at Coate-
vile, Pa, has been forced to shut
down part of its plant for lack of la
Dor.
There will be additional demand on
this state for laborers- The revised
quota for Colorado is 10,120.
These demands are for necessary
war industries. This demand must
be met though it will interfere with
private business.
Men cannot be taken from farms,
ra; rc2is or mines.
Tho above is the substance of offici-
al information from Washington and
is sent for your information and for
r a'izing the situation.
The needs of the army must be met.
T'veryone is ready to accept the incon-
veniences when he realizes the need.
A natural inference is that a closer
classification of non-essential indus
tries is bound to come.
The object to be attained is pro
duction. This is cut down not only
by shortage in number of laborers but
is cut down by indifference, by lack Of
zeal in every one to do the utmost that
he can. If each one did full days
work the shortage would be much less
serious.
This is for your consideration and
to ask you 10 do what you can to pre-
vent a shortage that will reduce sup
plies and necessary equipment for oul
soldiers. L. G. CARPENTER,

Salida Mail:
The farmers of Chaffee county have
not forgotten that two years ago they
were worried and put to heavy ex-

The scheme of the Post was to keep
cattle off the range, grab the school

settlers under Post irrigation schemes
and let the school children of Colorado
hold the bag.
The Post has not forsaken its design
on sthe school money and it has not
