that the so-called "Foch reserve army

impression that the allied reserve

situation at the front stands as q ia:

Editor News-Champion:
am nearly every day receiving let
tiers from some Of the over 5000 peo-
pie in Colorado who have made appli-
cation to file on lands under the Stock
Raising $40 Acre Homestead Law, in
quiring what the department is doing
towards the classification of these
lands, and how soon they expect an
allowance or rejection of their appli-
cations. ! am just now in receipt of
letter on this subject from Hon. Geo.
Otis Smith, Director of the Geological
Survey, which letter is self explana-
tory; and | would be pleased to have
you either copy his letter, or make
mention of il as a general news item
for the information Of many of your
readers who are among these appli-
cants. | may add that the House has
just passed an appropriation giving
the Geological Survey sl5O,00O for the
expense of completing this classifica-
tion as eNpeditiously as possible. So
am IN hopes that these home seekers
may have their applications allowed
and get on their lands this spring.
While DR.. Smiths letter is not very
definite. al the same time it does show
that the department is moving along
o. rapidly As we can expect, and hope
that within the next three or four
months all of these applications will
b" passed upon. In this connection, /
am receiving many requests for $40
acre homestead maps. There is no
such map. Nothing of that is or ever
has been published at all, and very
naturally could not be until all such
lands are finally and definitely classi-
fed, and III" drycways selected and To- |
Gated. Someone without knowing any
thing about this law has sent out this 4
misinformation. There has been got /
ten out by the general Land Office 1
every year, for many years, n little |
map showing the 800 acre dry farming
homestead lands, and send them to
you every year, and all the surveyors
and attorneys and everyone else who
asks for them. But that has no rela-
ton to the new $40 Acre Stock Raising
Grazing Homestead Law.
With my kindcst regards and best
wishes. and thanking you for mention-
ing this matter, remain as ever,

FARM INVENTORY WORTH
MANY TINES ITS COST
Shows Exact Amount Invested In
Various Branches of the Farm-and
When it Should Be Taken.

State Agricultural College,
An inventory is an itemized list of
all property connected with the farm
business, with its value. 1t will, of
course, vary from year to year so it is
necessary to take an inventory every
year. The amounts invested in differ
ent parts of the business will vary as
stock and crops are being raised and
sold at various times. An inventory
is worth many times the effort it re-
quires, since it enables one to know
the amount he has invested in ma
chinery, feed, land, etc, year after
year.
The time to take the inventory is
largely matter of choice, but by all
means it should be taken some time
between January and May /. A ten
ant may want to take his at the time
he changes farms, which should be
about March 1. Most of the feed has
been fed, and the marketable live
stock stock sold by March so that this
would doubtlessly be as good time to
take it as any, and too, work is usual
ly slack at this time of the year.

Hon. Edward 7. Taylor,
House of Representatives,
My dear Mr.. Taylor
am in repeipt of your letter of
February 7, 1918, inclosing a re-
quest from Harry V. Pyle, of Do
lores, Colorado, and dated Febru-
AIRY /, 1918, inquiring concerning
progress beng made in the desig-
nation of lands under the stock
raising homestead act
During the past field season the
Geological Survey had five parties
in the field in Colorado examining
lands applied for under the stock
raising homestead act. These
operated in the Glenwood Springs,
Sterling, Del Norte, Pueblo and
Lamar districts. Practically all
of the lands included in applica-
tions filed in the Sterling, Del
Norte, and Lamar districts were
examined and a large area in
cluded in application pending in
the Glenwood Springs and Pueblo
land districts was also examined,
but it was impossible to complete
examinations in these areas be-
fore weather conditions made fur
ther field work impracticable
The reports on these field ex-
aminations have been sent to the
Washington office where they are
now under consideration. 1t is ex-

TRYING SUGAR BEETS
AT HIGHER ATTITUDES
New Way Discovered to Boil Out
Your Own Sugar From Backyard
Gardens.

II Is question whether the time
is not ripe to try sugar bccts here
again. Some fifteen years ago the
Chamb'r Of Commerce made some
oNp"ncmcnts along that line and we
found The climate Of Gunnison and our
soil cau-"7 q vigorous growth and
produces a beet with very high per
c"n'age Of sugar, but our shorter sea
-on cuts down the tonnage. However.
bo"ts were then only worth $3.50 n
ton. Now the contracts are being
mad" at $3.50 and all subject 10 a
raise perhaps to $40, if the committee
appointed by Hoover so decides. Any
how. II would be worth whiln testing
out few IN the gardens and getting
some practice in the art. They make
excellent cattle and hog feed.
Also, 1t Is now declared way has
been discovered to boil down the bccts
on the kitchen stove and make your
own sugar supply. 1t is claimed one
can raise enough bccts on Il city lot
to supply a family with sugar for a
year, and with no moro trouble than
putting up cherries.

The total amount of the appli-

ing is still so new in our county that
every beginner has an immense
of experimentation to do for
