Devil blue is the latest choice made
for neckwear accessories. Whether
the color itself has a special charm or
not 1t doesn't matter; the popularity

MEAT AND FAT FAMINE A
POSSIBILITY!

The meat situation threatens to be-
come serious. according to the Colo
RADIO Food Administration.
Outside OF the military zone in
France there is practically no meat
in that country; what there Is. is out
OF the reach OF the poor people in
price.
In England. the British food con
troller has found It necessary to re-
duce the meat ration from one pound
to three-quarters of a pound per capita
weekly. There has also been a gen
eral rise in price TO the consumer OF
4 cents n pound in all meats
In America Herbert Hoover has
promised that out OF the none too
plentiful meat supply OF this country
2.6G00Oo tons of meat and fats win he
shipped to Europe during this current
year TO relieve the situation over
there
Tho Food Administration therefore
urges the most intense and coucen-
trated saving of meat and of futs
Coming hirh prices on these com
modlNes viii enforce some saving in
them but for the most part the
patriotism OF tho American pcop'C will
again be depended upon to fill this

DR.. STockHAM WRITES ON
CROP CONDITIONS IN COUNTY

1t is a pleasure to make a report
for ones section when everything is
at flood tide. This is our present
condition. In the history of Delta
county we have never harvested, or
prepared for harvest, so heavy a crop,
and it goes without saying that We
have never enjoyed such attractive
prices.
Wheat came in with a remarkably
heavy acre yield, the stabilized price
stimulated production and the result
has made our farmers happy.
The stand of potatoes was below
normal. but the product is excellent
and not seldom individual acres have
returned S400 Transportation has
been reliable and half of our entire
potato crop has been marketed at
prevailing high prices.
A late start promises a light cut
ting of alfalfa, but plenty of water
and warmth brought it along rapidly
and our hay crop is fully average;
$4,000 f. o. b. is paid for the three
cuttings, and while we deprecate the
practice of selling hay from our
ranches, if it must be so handled, it
is satisfactory to get such good re-
turns.
A fair crop of fruit at very high
prices adds to our prosperity, buyers
of every product are numerous and our
bank deposits are growing by leaps
and bounds We will market more
than the usual number of cattle and
nearly double the number of hogs, of
the latter quite a number will go as
feeders owing to the scarcity of feed
for finishing them Off
While our beet acreage is light, the
crop is unusually good and $1,000 a
ton will insure a good increase in the
1919 crop.
Not an empty house in Delta, and
many new people are choosing this
beautiful valley for a home. New de-
positors in our banks give ample evi-
dence of an incrase in population and
prosperous people.

FOOD PLANS UPSET
BY PEACE PkCTS
WHEAT PLENTIFUL - MAY NOW
BE FED A N M A LIS BUT
WORLDS LARDER OTHER
WISE SHORT.

With ocean lanes to all markets OF
the world open again, the food situa-
ton has been overturned and entirely
new conditions set up.
AZ consequence the issuing of the
1919 Home Card announced by the
Food Administration has been aban-
doned. new inventory OF the world $
food supplies is now being taken. and
Herbert Hoover plans to announce to
America very shortly an entirely new
and amazing food program.
Indications are that, with plenty OF
wheat now available from India, Aus
tralia, Baltic ports, and the Argentine.
no further wheat saving will be asked,
but that on every other food product
particularly fats and sugar-the lid
will tighten firmer than ever.
Wheat may now be fed to animals
without the customary permit from
the Food Administration, the rules
formerly forbidding the sale OF wheat
as feed having been repealed, accord
ing to word received by the Colorado
food board.
When definite reports from the con
quered peoples come in on the con
dition of their food supplies and the
needs of their respective countries
America will find that she must sup
ply not only the anticipated 1T,550.00C
tons-and MORE-of food stuffs, but
must share her dairy herds. swine
beef cattle and poultry to restoch
European farms, is the belief of the
Food Administration.
Holland, for example, has already
put in an order for $4,000 head ot
dairy cattle.
