FURTHER DISCUSSION OF
SUNFLOWERS FOR SILAGE
Continuation of Bulletin BY C. S. Ray.
State Agricultural College.
Continued from last week

Continued from last week
Colorado farmers have the follow
ing to say regarding Sunnower
Silage:
W H Bailey. Montrose.-
that he is very well pleased with sun
flower silage. He can see no differ
ence In feeding value for cows be-
tween sunaower and corn siiage-
H G Marshall. Hotchkiss.-Thinks
sunnowers as good as corn for feed
Very fine feed resulted from mixing
corn and sunfiowers in the silo.
Clair Hotchkiss. Hotchkiss.-"we
think enough of II tsunaower silagel
to plant the largest part of our acre
age to sunfowers this coming sea-
son" Says that silage made from
sunnowers and corn mixed was liked
better than the silage made from Ell
ther sunHowers or corn alone.
George LaGrange. Grand Junction.
Has fed sunhower silage for four
years. Il am glad to note that cattle
and sheep feeders in Delta County are
well satisfied with the results they are
getting from feeding the feed this win
ter. Ny own experience has been en-
tireiy with dairy stock. and we have
been able to get better results in but
ter-fat production from our herd OF
pure-bred Jerseys than we did from
corn sllage. While the increase In
milk fow is impercepiible. there is .
decided increase In butter-fat content
] know this IS contrary to the, old the
ory that butter-fat could not be fed
into the COW. but there are a number
who will bear me out in the statement
that II can be done by feeding good
sunfower sIlage. / am well enough
pleased with the results obtained from
feeding II. and the extra tonnage Sc
cured from a limited amount OF acre

Ing to put about 15 acres in this

OF stock will eat It and thrive on it."

very fine and enough water should be
added to make them pack well. More
care should be taken in packing than
In corn silage. Keep the center OF the

sides Keep sides well tramped.
There Is danger OF sunaower silase
settling away from the sides and
spelling. | think sunfiowers compare
very favnrably with corn. We have
been feeding It for three years to our
herd of pure bred Jerseys with good
results. But find It takes little
more hay with 'sunfiowers than corn"

surfowers cut fine make best silage
Saws II is ideal for sheep.

FARMER. AS BUSINESS MAN
NEEDS GOOD ADVERTISING

The farmer of today is just as much
Of business man as the banker, the
clothier, the grocer, the hardware
dealer and the real estate dealer.
As business man, he can profit
ably use newspaper advertising-not
so generally or on such large scale
as his fellow business man in the
trades-but he can profitably use it
to a limited degree, and much more
than he does now.
Suppose he has half a dozen pigs
that would make good breeders, and
which he wants to turn into cash. II
he will advertise them in his local
newspaper. using display space of.
say four inches double-column, and
set his price at what the pigs are
worth as breeders. he will realize
much more for the pigs than if he

least possible cost.
It often happens that two men will
put about the same amount of work
on their fields and one may get a
yield of 20 bushels and the other get
a yield of 40 bushels. The difference
may be due to better seed or a more
efficient cropping system. But any
way, when the cost of production per
acre is about the same on the two
farms and one gets twice the yield
as the other, there is big difference
in the cost per bushel. This is an
illustration of economical production,
and it seems to have its effect upon
incomes.
Records from men in a certain coun-
ty showed that those who got the
poorer yields had an average income
of $3.50, compared with $3.50 for the
man with average yields and those
with yields better than the average
got SS43.

STARTING IN THE CATTLE
BUSINESS TAKES TINE
Man With No Experience or Limited
Capital Must Make Small Begin
ming.

ut requires considerable time and
money to get a start with large herd
and it is not q business in which the
novice should engage on a large scale
without knowledge or experiences" /"
says Chas. l. Bray, of the Clorado Ag-
ricultural College. "a man with lit
tie capital may begin by taking cattle
to Craze in the summer, selling them
in the fall as grass-fat stuff. The ad-
vantage is that no money is tied up
in breeding stock, no winter feed has
to be provided for and no money has
to be expended in building feedyards
or equipment.
Another way to begin is to take
cattle on shares, some cattleman pro-
viding the herd and the beginner fur
nishing the land and labor for share
of the increase.
"A man who is not familiar with the
western cattle business should work
fr year with some experienced cat
tie company to learn the business. In
this way the best methods are learned
without the losses which result from
inexperience. At the same time,
money is being obtained which can Be
used in stocking up later.
"The farmer can aso stock up with
IA few cows to the extent of his avail
able capital and build up his herd
gradually from this foundation by tn
use Of good bulls"

COST OF FARM PRODUCTION
Is OF VITAL IMPORTANCE
lBy o. S. Raynorl

tBy o. S. Raynor)
Some people worry great deal
about the low yield per acre in this
country compared with certain Eu-
ropean countries. Again the argu-
ment is offered that high yields mean
low prices to the farmer, which is
generally true. Yet this is no reason
why any individual farmer should go
slow on production on his own farm.
The thing for each farmer to drive
for is maximum production at the

ESTABLISH LINES
on BLACK MESA

Crawford Chronicle
Last Tuesday committees from the
cattlemen and sheepmen who Craze
stock on the Poison Springs and
Green Mountain range on public do
main, met in Crawford and amicahly
adjusted a very important matter by
establishing line between cattle and
sheep range in the above mentioned
territory. The line agreed upon be-
gins at the George Tracy ranch on
the ..old Har rtman Trail" thence runs
west to Buck Gulch: thence in a
southwesterly direction along Griz-
gle Knob Trail to the Poison
Springs road at Grizzle Knob: thence
In southerly direction along the
wagon road to the Poison Springs res
ervoir and south to the "Old Cedar
Corral" thence In northwesterly d.
rection to the south rim OF Grizzle
Gulch; thence along the rim to Gun
nison River Canon: thence along the
east side OF Green Mountain to where
the "Old Ute Trail" crosses Red Can
on. The range situated north and
west of the line so established is
sheep range. and the range located
south and east OF said line Is cattle
range. n was agreed that the sheep
would be kept on the range above de-
and that cattle would be allowed to
Craze at large in the ordinary way ON
both the cattle and sheep ranges
above described In addition to the
local stockmen Supervisor Kreutser
and Ranger Heilman of the Gunnison
National Forest attended the meeting.

Fixing the Allowance.

cause shoes represent a highly impor-
tant item to which children frequently
pay little heed"
The allowance should provide a
little margin TO encourage careful buy
Ing and saving possibilities. 1t should
not necesstate so much care or
thought as to burden the growing
youngster. IL should never, under nor
NAL circumstances, be helped out"
by irregular gifts or expected to cover
other than the recognized items. The
allowance, with its purchasing respon-
sibilities, should be increased gradu-
ally, steadily. BY the time high school
is reached the boy or girl should be
buying practically ell his or her own
clothes.
Miss Wardell tells an interesting
story of II boy who called upon her
In Cleveland, telling her of his man
ne:' of apportioning the rather gener-
Gus allowance made by his father. He
knew to n penny what every article
he wore had cost him; he was inteili-
gent regarding relative textile and
wearing values he saved steadily, sys-
tematically, with joy.

daughter out, similarly, at eight years

fine and self-respecting and independ.
ent citizenship. Both will enter col
lege with q nice little financial nest
egg to await the beginning of their
business or professional life.
The chlld's allowance. 1t may be
added. should be for necessities mainly,
with but fair and modest margin for
personal luxEries and pleasures. 1t
should always be recognized as allow
ing for regular proportion Of saw
ings, preferably invested In govern
mental securities. 1t should be care
fully adjusted, rigidly adhered to on
both sides Of the bargain. Such re-
spect and observance not only will
teach the child good economic habits,
but will abolish many too frequent an
noyances for the financial head of the
family.
Each child given an allowance will
understand that this sum, with his
support and other parental provisions,
represents his fair share of the fam
lily income. and that, as decent citi-
zen, he must not ask nor expect to ex-
ceed 1t. An adequate allowance sys-
tenE moreovT, will obviate the evil
habit of crying or pleading for special
indulgences and more funds.

BECAUSE THEY KNOW that the people
