MOTORS VERSUS HORSES

At all of the fairs and stock
shows this fall there has been
a noticeable increase in inter-
est in horses. This applies
principally to the draft horses.
but at the horse shows there
has been an increase in attend
ance of pleasure horses. While
this applies principally to the
saddle horses. breeders report
better inquiry for harness
horses. All the breeders seem
to realize that their biggest
competition comes from the
motors. but they maintain that
there is n limit to the use of
motors on the ranch and farm.
There are some places that the
motor cannot be used to adam
tage. In the West the tractor
cannot harvest the corn crop
and the hay and there are
many places that a tractor
cannot be used in plowing.
Even where tractors are used
it has been found necessary to
have a team or two to plOw out
the corners and places where
the tractor cannot go. The
tractor is also out of the run
ming when it comes to cultivat-
ing a crop.
Small farms find it does not
pay to purchase a tractor for
the small amount of farm
work they have on hand and
rs the small farms are rapidly
increasing. the demand for
good draft horses is also in
creasing.
This increased interest in
horses will be noticed at the
Denver Stock show to be held
during the week of January II
to "a. The Horse Fair and
Horse Show promise to have
larger entries than ever before
and the management of the
show expects to see fully as
much interest in all kinds of
horses as ever.

At this time Of year the
sheep are coming in TO the

frequently have heavy losses

disease Is present. Any con-

is always suspicious Of this

Il IL doubtful II there Is an
other country or section that
can compare with the San Luis
valley in raising potatoes. The
Greeley district at one time
was noted for the quality and
quantity Of its potatoes: but
Greeley has turned over the
toga to this valley and contents
herself with second place. In
years gone by the San Luis
potato was often marketed un-
der the name of the Greeley
product to get to the market as
Al potatoes. But now the val
ley potato takes its place in all
markets on its merits. While
there is possibly $4,000 acres
of valley land devoted to the
production of the commercial
potatoes. this area can be dou-
bled twice with little effort
when the farmers get around
to 1t. What has been needed
was q standard potato. that
would fill the bill and make
shipping less complex. This
we no doubt have in the Brown
Beauty that is being standard
lied in the Monte Vista Sec
ton. There is no section of the
irrigated district Of this valley
but what will produce potatoes
in paying quantities and the in
dustry should be increased as
fast as conditions will permit.

OWED MUCH TO STERE0SC0PE
How Commanders During the Great
War Got Information OF
Vital Importance.

The old-faShioned stereOscope
played an important part in the
world war. 1t supplied an angle to
photographs, snapped from airplaHes,
that could not be obtained from the
ordinary camera lens. Before its use
the pictures all seemed fiat, but the
stereoscope added height, and thus
steep slopes, that appeared In pic
lures like fiat ground, were shown in
their true characteristics, and the
lives of men who would have to cover
the ground in attack were saved.
The airplane camera looks directly
down on the spot to be photographed
making a picture as a one-eyed man
would see it. A stereOscOpic camera.
in which the lenses are two ana
three-ouarters inches apart, would not
produce the stereoscOpic effect. Pho
tographers decided to take pictures
100 yards apart to give view, just
as a giant, with eyes 100 yards apart
would see It. These pictures were
nut on cardboard, and viewed through
the stereoscope. At first a cottage
looked like a tower, a bucket like
we'll, a trench like a canyon, etc. Inc
officers soon learned to translate these
eccentricities, and the problem was
solved. True pictures, giving just the
exact information desired. were then
obtained by the airplane photosra'
pliers.
