DISEASE RECENTLY APrEAR-
ING AMONG HORSES MAY BE
KANSAS HORSE PLAGUE
Has Appeared on 1s Farms-Plague
Caused Heavy Losses Several
Years Ago-Farmers Warn
ed Against Quack
Remedies.

A disease recently appearing among
horses in southeastern Colorado is sim
liar il not identical with the kansas
Horse Plague" of several years ago.
Its exact nature has not as yet been
definitely determined. To date the di-
sease has appeared on nineteen farms
and is apparently spreading.
The Kansas Horse Plague originat-
ed in Kansas and spread over several
states and as far west as Granada,
Colorado. 1t started early in August
and disappeared late in September. The
mortality was quite heavy. Many
horses were saved by appropriate
treatment and many were killed by ex-
perimental "cures" in the hands o.
laymen.
The cause of the disease was not de-
finitely determined. In many respects
/ it resembled the Borna disease Of
Europe which was an infection. The
disease disappeared very suddenly and
before scientific Investigations had
been carried to definite conclusions.
1t was quite generally thought to be
forage poisoning proposition. The
term forage poisoning was convenient
for classifying a certain group of di-
seases with characteristic symptoms
but was otherwise almost meaningless.
Investigations carried on by Graham
in Kentucky seemed to indicate that
this disease was analogous to meat
poisoning in the human and caused by
a specific micro-organism and its tox-
ms.
The seriousness Of the present out
break is problematical. If It proves
to be the same disease we are at least
better equipped to control it and it
is hoped that the farmers will profit
by their previous experience and not
fall for every quack remedy that is

seven planes that were generally
stranded some place in the desert wait

Of the campaign-but remember 1t was
not a very expensive joke. Since that

one billion dollars on aircraft construc-
ton and graft, and the chief Of air

sugar bects it runs Otcro county u
close race but the larger farms here
have prevented our farmers taking any
interest in the smaller farming which
ig only adapted to garden plots.
Had the figures included the indus
tries allied to farming Prowers coun-
ty would have made n still stronger
showing as her vast acreage of grains
and alfalfa make her preeminent as a
stock raising and feeding section, more
stock Of all kinds being raised here
and fed for maj ket than in any other
county in the southern part of the
state. Its honey product finds d mark
ct the world over and is greater than
that of any other county in the state.
Its dairy and poultry products are also
far in the lead of the other sections.
In manufacturing of farm products
Prowers county has the second largest
condensery. and her ten large alfalfa
meal mills constitute more than half
Of these great feed producers for the
whole state and represent such a large
part of the nations product that they
practically dominate the price. Our
farmers for several years as a result
have received several dollars per ton
more for their hay than any other
section of the west. With two broom
factories doing a big business the
county is rapidly becoming the lead
ing broom corn market of the west.
Having attained the agricultural
leadership of the valley. the supre-
macy of Prowers county will never
even be threatened as she has through
the bounty of nature been provided
with over 30 per cent of the possible
irrigated area of the Arkansas valley,
the broadening out of the valley here
producing this result.

county's agricultural operations as
furnished by the State Board of Inn
migration through the efficient efforts
of County Assessor A. ]. Davy and
his deputies is as follows:

AUGUST MILK RATES
Helvetia Company at Lamar as Usual
Pays the Highest Rate in
The State

Inc otdtt.
The Helvetia Milk Condensing Com
pany have just issued their August
rate card for the Lamar plant. AS has
always been the case in the past they
pay the highest rate for 3la per cent
milk that is paid any place in the state
of Colorado. Their August rate is
S3.52 per cwt. or at the rate Of little
more than a dollar u pound for butter
fat. The La Junta condensery pays
$40 for the same milk. The price
made by the Helvetia company means
an advance of nearly one dollar per
hundred in two months, whicL. will
help materially in keeping the wolves
from the dairy farmers dooryard
The rapid advance show that the
company is willing to keep up with
the times and divide the markets big
profits with the dairymen. The Aug
ust price this year is almost equal 10
the maximum price paid last December
and January.

GREATER THAN TWO NEAREST
COUNTIES CONFINED
Largest Acreage, Larger Farms and
More IrrigatiOn.-Leads in Most
All the Staple Crops.

The tabulated reports being sent out
by the State Immigration Board of the
1919 statements of crops furnish
ed by the assessors Of the various
counties proves conclusively what the
Register has always claimed that
Prowers county is far away the lead
ing agricultural county of southeast
ties, the two next ranking counties,
have to unite in most items to equal
the Prowers county totals. Otero
county owing to the small size of its
farms has about the same number of
farmers as Prowers. Their farms av-
erage only l20 acres. In Bent county
the average is 256 acres, and in Prov
ers 267 acres. The latter row has
more acres in cultivation than the
other two combined and considerable
more than the two of land good for
farming but yet unbroken. Prowers
county's acreage of irrigated land in
cultivation equals that of the other
two; while its land capable Of irriga-
ton but yet unbroken is far greater
than the two.
Alfalfa is Of course the Leading ir-
rigation crop of all three and here
Prowers county shows up with 35,59S
acres; while the other two have 32,934.
Wheat ranks next and Prowers again
leads both with 1880 acres to 1904
for the two. Sugar beets is third and
here 0tero county leads with l0,675
acres and Prowers county has 8,049;
Bent county is third with 4,l56. In
the other gr:in crops Prowers county
leads by large margins. The one long
lead that Otero county has is in can
taloupes which they ship as a leading
crop with an acreage of 3,599, and it
is only raised here for home consump-
tion in small gardens.
The dry land crops show the same
story. The leader is the various sor-
ghums as a forage crop and Prowers
county has an acreage of 34,6l6; while
otero and Bent counties combined have
25,l77 acres. Broom corr ranks second
1856 acres to 623 for the other two.
An abstract of the leading farm
crops of the three counties is given
above in tabulatcd form SO all can see
the full significance of the lead Prov
ers county has taken in this section
of the state.
The above figures are of direct
farming activities alone and show that
in every branch of the industry ex-
cept sugar bcets, cantaloupea and
small vegetables and fruits, Prowers
county has substantial supremacy
over the other counties combined. In
