ISILAGE CORN
BEING PLANTED
BY PENITENTIARY

Not for many years has the weather
and the conditions of the soil been as
! favorable for early farm work in Ere
mont county as they are this season.
and the ranchers IRE making the most
of them in seeding the ground for the
summer and fall crops. Some corn
has already been planted and consid-
cradle acreage will be put in next
week if plans are not interferred with
by rain, or other unexpected hap
penings.
\ A portion of the Gardner ranch on
1 Four Mile creek. north of the county
farm, which was recently leased from
George F. Grove by Warden lyman
1 for the use of the state penitentiary.
is being plowed and prepared for corn
to be devoted to silage purposes. 1t
is intended to plant about 80 acres of
it next week Most of it has been
f, in alfalfa for long period, some OF ii
/ Is or 20 years, and 1t is in splendid
shape for cultivation. 1t promises
1 fine yield by reason of Its natural fer
tility and its long rest from a corn
crop.
A few days ago the warden had a
Cleveland tractor brought here from
the Avondale farm in Pueblo county
and the Grove tract is being plowed
by mechanical power at the rate of
several acres a day. The. ground is
also being disked, dragged and gotten
into readiness for planting by the
same means. This is the FIRST tractor
of the kind employed in the Canon
City district. and il does its work with
great thoroughness and ease at min
imum of expense. The cost of the
gasoline necessary to operate the ma
chine is about so cents an acre The
| tractor is of the caterpillar type and
resembles in many respects the battle
tank, Little Zeb." which was dis
played by the United States army on
the streets of Canon City last week
in the interest of the Victory loan
campaign. 1t Isl considerably smaller,
however, and weighs only about half
as much 1t can easily turn on a
space of five or six feet, and is capable
of developing eight or 10horsepower.
When visited by the writer at the
ranch Tuesday afternoon it was drag
ging a double dix. to which was at
tached heavy drag. and ground that
had been plowed the previous morning
was being put into first-class shape by
it for planting. Travelling at a speed
of five or six miles an hour 1t was
mashing clods. leveling the ground
and packing 1t for the iconserva
tion OF moisture in swathes 10 feet or
more IN width each time II crossed the
field. 1t is a veritable little giant in
power, and a great device for the ad
vancement OF progressive and sue
cessful agriculture. 5fs
Warden lyman is highly optimistic
over the outlook for a big corn crop
on the Grove ranch. and predicts that
with a good season'it will produce 20
tons OF fodder to the acre. all of which
will make excellent silage. The silos
at the prison will hold 300 tons OF
chopped corn. and he expects to get
enough forage from the leased lands
on Four Mile creek to fill them to
their capacity. Silo feed is canned
! feed. and stock OF all kinds like IL
immensely. The dairy cattle at the
prison last year increased their milk
| supply 90 per cent after silage was
fed to them.

A SURPRISE.

called upon me and We danced to the
music of the victrola:
How could you marry a man so
much older than you area widow

not SO particular with the first Mrs.
Ora ham"
When Everett came in that night,
he had said I was too young to dis
eriminate and had forbidden me to
receive Kemp. 1 had not seen him
since: now 1 wouldn't dare to. And
to be honest, l really felt I didn't
want to. It was a sort of reaction
against myself because of trying to
put him in the place Everett occu-
pied with Leo1a I think.

Former President Taft says the pro-
posed peace treaty reservations do not
affect the document. If Mr.. Taft can
convince other friends of the treaty
that he is right the treaty will go thru
with a whoop, reservations and all.
But those who are interested in the
future peace of the world will not con-
sent to the mutilation of the docu-
ment, which already hasAbeen ratified
by the leading nations of the world,
excepting the United States. The first
reservation adopted set forth that the
United States will be the sole judge of
its own actions under the treaty. This
right is inherent in all nations and no
nation has had thought of surrender

An official investigator declares that
the high price of clothing is due to
high handed methods of the garment
makers unions. He sets forth that
buttonhole makers receive $50 a week
and other classes of workers much
more, He declares that employers
have been robbed right and left by the
walking delegates. When one remem-
bers the stories of sweat shops and the
grinding down of this class of labor in
former days. the thought arises that
the garment workers are making the
most of their opportunity to get even
with those who were their oppressors.
But unfortunately their vengeance
falls on the innocent public. The en-
ployer merely adds the increased cost
of production to the price of his goods
and the consumer pays.

The public has gone on strike. 1t
long has recognized its criminally
minded enemies, and it is gradually
learning how to deal with them. It
once found it's enemies in kings. and
it spent a good deal of effort toward
limiting the harm that kings could do.
1t again recognized its enemy in eccle-
siastical oppression and it proceeded
to put the church, if not where 1t be-
1onged, at least out of the places where
it did not belong. 1t recognized an
enemy in human slavery and it de-
stroyed it. When alcohol came to be
regarded as a public enemy, it went
the way of the others. Oppressive
and unfair combinations ofS capital
were treated similarly and now op-
pressive and unfair combinations OF
labor must be taught lesson. The
public does not often strike. but when
it does it strikes hard and at the big
and obvious thing.

WHY WE DO NOT BUILD.

Building Age" has sent out an ur-
gent appeal for more building every
where; more houses, more apartments.
This magazine says that from villages,
towns and cities all over the country
the cry is for more building.
THE trouble" the writer in Build
ing Age says, sis high prices of labor
and uncertainty as to when labor will
take it into it's head to strike, Illegally
or otherwise. Any contractor will tell
how unions have curtailed the number
of brick that can be laid in a day, of
how production has been slackened up
under the influence of the false theory
that the less work a man does. the
more men will be required to do the
job and therefore the more jobs and
the less unemployment. This is a
dangerous fallacy."
The magazine goes on to explain
that a man gets paid just for what he
does. If he lay 1900 brick a day and
gets s6. or lays 1000 brick day and
gets $40, he is not 81 ahead. The ex-
ira cost is tackled on to the building,
his rent goeS up to meet the cost of
new construction, workmen in other
industries follow his tactics. and he
pays more for his food. his clothing.
his pleasures and he has no more
money than when he was getting Sc.
The amount of money he receives is
greater, but its purchasing power pro-
portionately less. But. let the man
getting IS lay 1000 bricks a day and
the building goes up more quickly.
Prices are lower, other industries
speed up-food. clothing and. rent
come down due to the lower cost per
unit.
Another handicap on building oper-
ations, generally overlooked. is in
creased taxation. Every man who
builds a house promptly is penalized
by the assessor. altho the builder may
have borrowed the money necessary
for the improvement at high rate of
a rate made still higher by
the fact that the man who owns his
mortgage also is taxed on that.
