SAN JUAN COUNTY ONLY ONE
IN L. ;. WITHOUT SINGLE
CULTIVATED ACRE

San Juan county. Colorado, enjoys
the distinction OF being the only rural
county in the United States which
does not contain one single acre of
tillable soil. Reports received from
tn. officials Of the county By the state
board OF immigration reveal that there
Is not an acre Of land under cultiya-
tion and that q search Of the county
has failed 20 reveal single plot OF
land which might be farmed. despite
the fact that the county covers Asa
square miles and contains 2s9 ,920
acres.
In Silyorton, the county seat, the
people raise a few radishes and other
vegetables, but further than that there
is no other farming or gardening ac-
tivIty. The altitude of the county
varies between 5000 and $4,000 feet,
and the country is SO hilly and broken
up that It prevents farming. There
are practically no level stretches of
land anywhere within its limits.
Officials Of the state board of i'm
migration have examined United
States government reports and they
declare that they have been unable TO
find a rural county anywhere in the
country where there is not some farm
ing done.

COUNTY AGENTS
TO BE RETAINED
Passage Of Agricultural Appropria-
tion Bill Makes II Possible To Con-
tinue Important Work.

Colorado will not lose the majority
of her county agricultural agents as
has been feared for the last six
months. This important work was
widely expanded in this state during
the period of the war with funds made
available by the national war emer-
gency appropriation. Until a short
time ago there was considerable doubt
as to whether the national congress
would pass legislation which would
make it possible to continue the work.
The agricultural bill which passed
June 80 carried an appropriation of
81 SOC, 900 for this character of work
in the United States and Director H.
I. French of the Extension Service of
the Colorado Agricultural College,
has received word from the United
States Department Of Agriculture in
Washington that funds viii be avail
able which will make it possible to re-
tain all Of the county agricultural
agents in Colorado, 2S in number.
Plans have also been worked out

be retained, according to information
reaching the office OF County Clerk
McWilliams, who has charge of the
matter of brands in Gunnison County.
In an effort TO clear up the many
obsolete brands, and make them avail
able for other stockmen, if they are
no longer TO be kept up by the pres
ent owners. the recent session Of the
state Legislature fixed tax of So 90
This tax is not to be levied annually,
but rather is for the purpose of re-
vising the brand list of the state and
for the printing of a new book Of
brands.
In 1914 tax of 81 was levied on
each brand for the same purpose and
the brand book published at that time
has been in use since. The new law
went into effect June 9th, and the
brand tax must be paid at once or
stockmen will forfeit their right to
the brands used at present and they
may be taken by another making ap-
plication for the same brand.

Colorado produced more than twice
as much molybdenum in 1918 as was
produced in the world in 1915 and is
now prepared under favorable market
conditions, to produce more than twice
as much annually as it produced in
1918. The uses of this rare metal
are being rapidly enlarged and when
a market is established that will make
its production uniformly profitable,
this state should be the source of per-
haps one-half the worlds supply.

State Farm Bureau Adopts Water
In the Home As Statewide
Project.

News-Notes
Water in the farm home was one
OF the main projects chosen by the
state Farm Bureau during the con-
ference held at the Agricultural Col
lege in March.
he conservation of the time and
health Of the housewife is one of the
most important questions of farm
life. Whatever tends TO relieve the
drudgery of housekeeping improves
the econoVical, social and spiritual
life of the family.
The statewide movement TO en-
courage the installation of a simple,
efficient water system in every farm
house should call forth the earnes.
effort of every farmer and his family.
Let II be the aim of every farmer
TO install some type of water system
IN ms home before winter sets in.
There is type to suit the purse
and needs Of every family. A good
water system of water and waste dis
posal Is real labor and life-saver and
adds more TO the comfort. convenience
and healthfulness of the entire family
than any other convenience.

RANCHING BACK IN
ThE MOUNTAINS

James Smith IN Field and FARM
In getting down to this subject,
wish 10 talk about cattle from the
view point of the small rancher, CIV
ing what results my own experience
has taught me ana hoping TO learn
from others. In the first place we all
agree that the open range Is being 80
cut down the day of big herds is al
most passed. inns means either few
eT cattle or that the breeder must also
own his range and, owning the land,
make II grow more feed. Because OF
the uncertainty OF hired help / think
q man will make i mistake IN trying
TO clear big area at once, unless he
has money to invest in raw land with
out expecting much return for sew
eral years.
| believe the homesteader's best
money is in carrying all the milk cows
and their calves that he can feed. /
brought in with me Swiss Jersey and
her TWO heifer calves. Now l feel
sure | could have done better by buy
ing well selected stock of mixers of a.
larger breed. More beef would have
brought more money. | have done
well, but can see where | could have
ooht pSNati. -No" a. W saiiAilAtt lSSh
have learned to dispose of sage brush
this way: 10 fence of the brush and
keep out the stock all the year. This
gives the native grass a chance to be-
come well rooted and the growth car
ries the fire in the fall.
Plow a good fire line and when it is
dry watch for high wind, then trail
fire along the windward side and
go up in smoke. This is big help
for either breaking or grazing, even
if it does not take all the brush One
is surprised at the increased growth
of grass when the brush is gone. l
have found that alsike clover catches
in well on these burned areas if scat
tered on the snow-on dry land, re-
member-and makes much more pas
ture to the acre. l leave the scrub
oak, etc, for shade. This kind of
feed and good water carries quite a
few cattle until one can turn them
onto the cut grain fields. l also find
that wild oats make a fine pasture
and had better be grazed down than
allowed to seed the whole neighbor-
hood.
For winter ! dig back the edges of
tne slaW STACK ana Duild IeeO RACKS
along the side. These are made with
heavy poles about six fee. wide with
a manger outside two poles high and
twenty inches in width. Then it is an
easy matter to keep them filled. We
do not have to hitch up nor get out in
storms as much. One is sure the
stock always has enough, which is
more than some cattle on feed lots
have. Then, too we do not waste
straw nor lose the chaff-the best part
-as when straw is scattered on the
snow. And last but not least l have
some sort of shelter for every hoof on
the job through the severe storms and
cold snaps. believe it is cruelty to
animals and costly besides to shelter
stock on the sunny side of the barb
wire fence on winter nights when the
mercury is flirting with 20 below.
grant that with big herd it is i'm
possible to shelter them without great
expense and possibly dehorning, but
I am convinced that It would pay dol
lars and cents. By my method the
stock is wintered on straw roughaRe
, and my losses from all causes have
been very small

]. }. MOORE ELECTED CHAIRMAN OF TIE MARKET COMMITTEE
Agricultural and Marketing Committee of Chamber of Commerce to Conduct
 Campaign

J. D. Moore was elected chairman of the agricultural and marketing committee or the Chamber of Commerce at meeting of the executive committee yesterday afternoon, to succeed John H. Frye, who has served as chairman of this commit tee for approximately three years.
 WheB this committee was organized about three years ago it was known as the food preparedness and marketing bu- reau but it was combined with the activi- ties of the Chamber of Commerce some time ago when this organization decided to extend it's work. It is now known as the agricultural and marketing depart- ment of the ChaU- her of Commerce and is directed by an executive committee have devoted great deal of time to the work.
 The work of the committee in devloping the marketing facilities In the shipping towns in Alabama has been most sue cessful and it has achieved splendid re- forss to improve and develop the mar keting facilities for farm products in over 50 important shipping towns
 It. is said that one of the most ex- tensive educational campaigns along marketing lines ever conducted by any state has just been completed by this committee who has exhibited an illus trated marketing chart to the business men in over 5O towns in Alabama. This chart shows nurlber of successful mar keting plans in other food producing states and illustrates what each Alabama town has done in the past three years H. the way of providing facilities to make an outlet to the market for the farm products they produce.
 The committee aas been working In close cooperation with the state exten- sion service at Auburn and with the aSrl- cultural agents in each county in an ef- fort to get the business interests Of Ala bama interested ,n their county work.
 It was pointed out that-this system mas enabled many towns in the state 10 put their products on the market and the committee is trying to impress upon snip pers the importance and value of comply ing with the three principles of marketing which they point out as being standarc weights, standard grades and the use o' standard commercial crates and pack ages.

Tluo Outstanding Facts
 Of fhe 1919 Legislature
Both Houses Absolutely Dominated by Governor Lawmakers Irrevocably Committed to
 Prohibition of the Liquor Traffic
By w. J, ROLES

Montgomery, September 27.-(spe- ctal 1.-Two facts stood out prominent ly above all others in the 1919 session. of the legislature which officially ended At the stroke of 12 tonight. But &C., tually died some hours later.
 First, Governor K1by absolutely dom mated both branches throughout the 50 legislative days, extended over a period of almost nine months, during four of which the members were in Montgomery.
 Second, the legislative body as a whole was irrevocably comimtted to prohibition of the liquor traffic. There was no mistaking that fact. Nothing that looked like, tasted like, smelt like, loaned like, or any other way had a single characteristic of beer had a chance to get by.
 { Governor Kilby had mapped out g very large programme of constructive legislation and he put through every thing on it, in practically the form he wanted. Only on two occasions did the we'll organized and we'll oiled ma chinery slip cog, and in both an ad- iournment over night enabled all breaches to be repaired. It continued to the end of the session to run ruth lessly over all opposition. Elected on a ratification platform, the legislature ratified the federal prohibition amend ment within a short time after it's or ganization.
 DIFFERENT WITH SUFFRAGE
 The federal woman suffrage, not be- ing an issue in the state election last year, however, met a different fate, be- ing defeated in the senate on three sep arate occasions and once in the house; all by decisive majorities.
 The governor announced in his cam paign platform and in his message to the legislature that he stood for and would work for the budget system; for an income tax; more revenues without increasing taxation; workman's com pensation; school and health codes that fnodernize and improve both systems S; good roads: gradual removal of state
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-09-28

conVicts from the coal mines; abolition of the county boards of equalization: more money for and improved eleemosy- nary institutions. All of these things he got, perhaps not in as full a meas ure in each instance as he wanted, but got more money for distribution among the various institutions. He didn't get all he wanted, but in the aggregate it will amount to two or three million dollars more than was ever collected in any single year in the states his- tory.
 Whether it will be enough to take cars of all appropriations remains to be seen Out of the scramble for larger appro- priations to old Confederate veteran ! emerged an iron-clad act that guarantees to them the full amount of the pensions granted by law
 Most of the Legislation put through of a constructive nature, will have quick ening influence throughout the state dur ing the Kilby administration, and if the revenues meet the appropriations, the state and all its institutions should be in much better condition four years hence than now.
 The legislature has not been niggardly either in providing the money or appro- priating it. It has created scores of new offices, abolished just a very few and conferred upon the governor powers never hitHCtlo pO5ScSSeO or eXeTc1SeQ Dy , an Alabama executive. Under the powers given him he can, if he wishes, build up a political machine beyond anything ever known of in the state before Whether he uses it. or not tim, alone can tell The sessions in both houses today were marked by good humored scraps anc the introduction of freak resolutions The only outburst of resentment occurred in the senate when Senator McDowell of Barbour county, severely criticized Gov. ernor Kilby for vetoing Barbour county bill, which, he said, everybody in his county wanted passed.
 Both houses quit passing bills about ] o'clock in the afternoon, taking recesses from time to time to sign bills and re- ceive messages from the governor.
 The 1919 legislature is dead. It's mem- bers today are returning to their respec- tive homes and their people. Tn the main the membership Of this legislature meas ures up to the standard of similar bodies 1 in the past. They no doubt acted accord i ing to their conception of what was best 1 for the state. It is up to the people to l pass judgment upon them.
