MERCHANT MARINiNG
ON THE BEACH

Generally the country has taken it
for granted that after the war We
we're going to have a great merchant
marine and sieze a big share Of the
carrying trade of the world.
Didn't we build miles of ships over
night?
Sure we did
And isn't the government through
with them now?
Well, then?
Unfortunately it is hardly as for
tunate as that.
One OF the officials of the federal
shipping board frankly stated to a
group of shipping men that in the
dire need of ships the government had
many built that would not do at all
for commercial routes in competition
with European lines.
The fact that the government has
few bidders for its ships at the prices
asked, and no bidders for leases on
these ships under federal terms, might
indicate that there was fly or two in
the merchant marine ointment
Indeed it now appears that more of
these new Sh1pS VIII be tied up-they
are being tied up on two coasts about
as rapidly as completed--than will
sail the wide seas. y
1t is admitted that some of the types
of ships being built during the war
stress were the only types that could
be turned out speedily; and also that
they will never be of stress in com
mercial work.
Also the cost of this hurried con-
struction was so exhorbitant in many
cases that the boats, even II adapted
for the work, would never return In
terest on the investment. and their
operation would probably be too cost
ly to allow them to compete with ves-
sells built for commercial work.
Our merchant marine will not swim
smoothly forth and master the seven
seas by p. m. next Friday.

LIVESTOCK NOTES.
By H. A. Lindgren,
Feb, %, 1919.
U. S. Dept. of Agriculture.

U. S. Dept. of Agriculture.
The farmers of Olathe shipped out
four carloads of hogs on the 21st
The most of these were we'll finished
There were, however. a few that
would weigh $50 or less. These
must be cut out and sold separate
from the rest in order to get fair
price on the remainder of the load.
The question of shrinkage is a
vital one among the local shippers.
Several methods of cutting down on
shrinkage has been tried with more
or less success. Whenever a car is
shipped out there is reasonable
amount of shrinkage to be expected
When a man sends his own hogs he
usually can regulate this feature if
he tries to. A number Of successful
shippers locally have practiced the
method of sprinkling corn or wheat
in the car so that the hogs can feed
while in transit. This is system to
be encouraged. Another feature in
the cooperative shipments that is
worthy of trial is to practice the sys-
tenn of starving the hogs IL hours be-
fore they are weighed. This puts
each shipper on an even basis of
shrinkage. The ideal method. how
ever, and the one that meets with the
most satisfaction is to mark each
shippers hogs as received and in
struct your commission man to weigh
each mark separate at the selling
point. In this way each shipper
stands his own shrinkage
The Hotchkiss farmers have form
ed shipping association and plan
is on foot to form one at Delta With
these associations all broad gauge
could be made on certain
days, making up five or six cars
rather than one. If the shippers will
cooperate in this and ship on regular
days, making more cars, a better run
is assured.

The association being formed for
the employment of veterinarian to
do the work for it's members is meet

fit to the farmers. 1t is the plan to

things for community betterment.
Among the things that will be taken
up this year is milk testing on the
club plan, and the siloing of beet
tops. This will be conducted under
the Farm Bureau organization.
The SLIDING of beet tops should be
practiced generally. as it saves more
tops than to feed them in the field
in the usual way. Not only that, but
it stores them in a form where they
can be saved for winter feeding. This
project will be watched with interest
by all those who are interested in
beet growing.
The Association bull is now on the
farm of DR.. A. H. Griffith, in the edge
of the city. Members, please take
notice.
March 1, 1919.
T. C. Anderson recently went to
Denver with four carloads of hogs.
The car owned by Mr.. Anderson, SO
head, had a shrinkage of 100 pounds.
This is unusually low. 1t is hoped
that there will be plan worked out
whereby the shrinkage on shipments
will be reduced.
The farmers at Delta and vicinity
are organizing a Livestock Shipping
Association under the auspices of the
Farmers Union. This will take care
of the small owners in that vicinity
The Grange Cooperative Associa-
tion have taken on the work of CO.
operative cattle shipments. This will
be of service to those having a small
number of cattle to send to market.
H. H. Sanders of High mesa has a
start in registered Holsteins. He Is
starting in a small way. but intends
to build up a herd.
Mr.. Striebe of High mesa has an
excellent registered Jersey bull pur-
chased from the farm of A. F. Chat
fee of Hotchkiss.
II there are any farmers Interested
in shipping in any dairy animals this
spring an attempt will be made to
locate them. There have been sew
eral inquiries for cows and heifers
lately If enough are interested to
make carload they may be found
in Arizona or on the eastern slope of
this state. Some are interested in
registered animals.

$50 signatures have been obtained.
When the desired number has been
secured, a meeting will be held for
the purpose of electing a board of
directors of five members who shall
have the general management of the
association and the power to select
the veterinarian. There are several
applications for the position. In case
there are people who desire a mem

be known to the County Agent or to

Mr.. Solomons sale of hogs was not
attended by very large crowd.
However. there were 1S head of hogs
sold. Those in attendance had an
opportunity of buying excellent breed
ing stock at a low cost. There will
be two other pure bred Duroc sales
in the valley during the year.
Western Slope Fair.
1t is soon time to think about plans
for next falls fair. For those who
are interested a strong futurity show
should be planned. This can be
worked most admirably for colts and
pigs 1t is not a bad idea to plan to
put your colts or pigs into such
proposition.
The Loesch Bros. have recently
shipped three bulls to outside terri
tory.
Wilson Bros of Olathe purchased
an excellent boar at the Solomon
sale. The boar will be valuable
addition to their pure bred herd.
Have you examined your hogs for
lice? If not. it is time you we're
doing so.
The horse sale put on by Mr.. Tai
bot at the Elephant corral was well
attended Such sales are a great
help to the stockmen in disposing of
their surplus horses and should be
encouraged.
The time will come when the farm
ers of this valley will be in position
to conduct pure bred sales in the
same way.
