Where they shed their brush
hey usually seed when they
haul it in, and the baling is done
afterwards, and no chance for
,orting on either of those occa-
sions.
The grading might be done
when harvesting--only practical
time. When cutting or jerking
the brush it is easv to know a
suitable head when or before
reaching for it. and hence two or
three separate piles could be
made, and these piles put into
separate ricks.
AS to the improvement of quail

mant that the west has given no

tion-without a knowledge of

who have for years made the i'm

method of areeding-by selcc-

what might be called a pure-bred

who furnish the seed fur western
growers.

Notice to Tax Payers

April first Of this year the
county assessor and his field men
will begin to take the tax sched>
ules of the county.
AS the tax payers Of the coun-
tv pay these men for Their ser
vices, sothis work should be done
as speedily as possible aud done
correctlv-
Therefore the board Of county
commissioners are asking the
people of Baca county to cooper
ate with US this year, to get this
done in record time and save
money.
We are asking you, on or be.
| o.e the first day OF April, to pre-
pare an inventory of your land
and personal property. to get your
deeds and have an accurate de-
scription of the land you own.
This isvery important as the as
SCISSOR places on the schedule the
description you give him and
then transfers it to the tax rolf.
which is delivered to the couutp
treasurer to collect your taxeA.
If you give an erroneous de.
5cription, your land will be de-
scribed the same way on the tax
roll, thereby causing quite los
of bother to get your LAID de
scribed correctly when you 90 4.
pay your taxes, and perhaps
causing your land to appear on
the list of lands for sale TO- Je
linquet taxes. and causing M
necessary REDEEM ptions To s.
made.
A hearty cooperation in t|'
matter will save time ani eA
pense. help lower the taxes IN
avoid misunderstandings.
compliance with this requ""'
will be appreciated by the eouu

The bon. Acting Commission
err of Agriculture, Whose
Letter Was Recently Pub.
iished in the Herald.
Reply to the Letter
Item by Item

The acting commissioner a
fourth statement or argument
"the Lindsay district. the one
referred to in the petition, has
been producing broomcorn for
many years, and through expert
ence in production, harvesting,
curing and grading. the farmers
are putting q product on the
market for which the buyers are
willing to pay a premium"
If by production acting COM
missioner means breeding. the
Lindsay district has practically
the same old standard brush it
had when it first went into the
busine and exactly the same
as the standard OF these parts.
Harvesting? 1t is the same
old tabling method it has always
used-only way in the world they
! can there harvest their crop ut
all.
Curing: This feature of the
, case has already been covered.
Shed curing is the only method
of curing there that would save
their brush from rotting. 1t
uiyes the brush a nice color for
the time, but when the brooms
are on the market you couldn I
tell whether they were shed cur
ed or air cured, either when you
bought them or after they we're
worn out.
Grading comes under the com.
, missioner's fifth statement apo
argument as follows-might oe
interesting to know eastern COL
orado brush has not recelvd the
same consideration from buyers
as in other sections, esDeclahy
Illinois-caus se in most part pro-
ducers don't improve quality
and don't properly sort and grade
when baling.
All of which makes US wonder
if there is anything the. acting
secretary commissioner knows
more about than he does about
, ,oroomcorh-reaily wondering II
he aver sawany broomcorn outside
of a warehouse-or eve: inside
Iof one.,
To sort and grade the brush
while baling is practically impos'
sible-would require the brush to
be handled head by head in or
der to do it.
