HELVETIA MILK PRICES
Government Reports on the Dairy and
Milk Products Industries Shows
the Helvetia Leads in Divid-
ing With the Farmer.

The government mas published re-
port showing tnc prices paid by the
various companies engaged in produc-
ing condensed and evaporated milk.
Two hundred and sixty-one companies
sent in reports coming from all sec
tions of the county nd including the
very richest dairy sections of the
world These figures show just how
lucky Lamar was to get the most lib
eral company of the bunch to locate
here and establish the industry in the
state. The whole state has benefit
ted also, because while none of the
other companies Fay as high for milk
as che Holvetia yet all pay more than
they would if the Lamar condensery

The gov yarnIheEt reports show that
the average for the entire country for
September was 1929 for 3.5 milk and
for October s3.34. The Helvo tia price
at Lamar was S3.52 for September
and 1886 for October. The average
for each section of the country shows
less than the L9mar price, while the
southwestern section which includes
Colorado only p-id an average in Sep
tember of S2.9l and October $2.97. No
other condensery in Colorad pays as
much as Lamar nd owing to the near
location La Junta has to pay more
than any other plant of their com

The Lamar High school foot ball
team proved their strength Saturday
at Las Arimas when they held the
winners to a IL to 0 score. Both the
teams were greatly handicapped by
the great amount of mud. Both of
Las Animcs' touchdowns were made in
the first quarter by Captain Cumpton
and were made through accidents, the
first on trick play and the second by
swapping one of Lamar's passes. Most
of the last three quarters was played
in Las Animas territory and Lamar
was on Las Animas' forty yard line
when the game ended The Las Ami
mas coach conceded that Lamar had
the best line The team enjoyed an
excellent time while at Las Animas.
The next and last game Of the sea-
son will be played hero Saturday with
Rocky Ford. Lamar will be outweigh
ed about fifteen pounds to the man,
but Lamar has a quick, hard-working
team and will probably win. Neverthc-
less, the game will be close. Every
body should turn out and give the team
boost and incidently show Rocky
Ford that Lamar stands back of their
team.

Inquiries now being received by the
State immigration Department indi-
cate that the movement of land seek
ers to Colorado during the coming
winter and spring will be heavier than
it has been for several years. Prices
of land have reached such high levels
in the older agricultural states that
large numbers of experienced farmers
are selling and moving west in search
Of farm lands that can be had at low
er figures. This movement las been
under way for more than n year and
Colorado has apparently profited more
from it than any other western state.
While the price of land has advanced
very rapidly here it is still lower. es-
pec;ally in the non-irrigated districts
and the newer irrigated districts, than
in the principal agricultural states Of
the Mississippi valley, from which
most Of Colorado's new farmers come.

FARMER SHOULD FEED STOCK
The Man Who Feeds May Lose At
Times But in the Long Run Genes
Out Ahead.

1t is customary for the average
farmer to sell his steers and sheep to
the feeder. This is a mistake. The
man who owns land, has his own feed
and needs manure for his soil, should
feed out at least all the stock he raises.
Feeding in large numbers may be con-
sidered a gamble, but the farmer who
owns land and who stays in the feed
ing business every year, will be more
prosperous in the end than the farm
err who does not feed but sells his
stock to be fed by some one else. Some
years there will be a loss on the feed
ing operation if the increased yields
secured by the use Of manure is not
considered. but on an average over a
number Of years there is satisfactory
profit on the feeding operation The
man who owns land, raises his feed
and especially his own stock, should
by all menas feed regularly every
year.
The man who owns NO land, has no

GENERAL COLORADO NEWS

The general demand for authentic
information about the resources and
industries Of Colorado, which has been
growing in all sections of the country
in the past few years, is being extend
ed into the public schools. Within the
past year the State immigration De
partment has had hundreds of requests
from school children for booklets on
different sections of the state, to be
used in class work. The heaviest in
quiry has been from the city of Chica-
go, where students in the intermediate
grammar grades have been making
study of the Centennial state with par
ticular reference to its industries and
resources rather than its scenic at
fractions. The Immigration Depart
ment has supplied copies Of its dis
trict booklets to these pupils where the
demands have not been too heavy to
supply from the limited number of
these booklets available. The Colo
RADIO Year Book, issued by the Immi-
grafton Department, has also been in
considerable demand among school Ii
braries both in Colorado and other
states.

LEvIES FOR 1919 TAXES
Commissioners Levy Taxes Certified
by State, Towns and School Dis
tricts and Fix County Rate.

The commissioners have not yet
completed the levy of taxes for the
year and many of the school districts
have not yet certified their levies to
them. They have fixed the county
rate at 7.1O mills on the dollar. This
is a slight increase over last year ow-
ing to the tax of 1.50 mills assessed
as a court house sinking fund. This
levy was more than doubled to raise
the necessary funds to start work next
year by building the basement and
vaults. The present vaults at the
court house are badly overcrowded al
ready and before another year new
ones would have to be constructed and
it was deemed best to build them
where they would be a permanent inn
provement instead of temporary
makeshift to be later abandoned.
Enough of the plans are agreed upon
to announce that the building will be
one Of which the county can be proud
for years to come. 1t is believed that
sufficient money can be raised by an
annual tax to pay for Same by the
time it is completed and ii will be un-
necessary to bond the county for the
purpose.

The agricultural schedule TO be used
by the United States census bureau
next year in collecting farm statistics
calls for more complete agricultural
information than has ever before been
collected by the bureau. Among the
added items of information will be
reports showing crop land not now be-
ing cultivated which would raise pro-
fitable crops under favorable condi-
tions, area of land in farms that might
be made to produce crops through
drainage or clearing, area of farm land
for which artificial drainage is provid-
ed, and the acreage of land planted in
1919 which was not harvested because
of crop failure. The State Immigra-
tion Department has begun the collec-
tion of some of this information thru
county assessors and the census report
will afford an excellent basis for ex-
tension Of the work by means Of an
nual reports. The information regard
ing drainage will be of especial bene-
fit to Colorado in view OF the large
areas of agricultural land in some of
the irrigated districts of the state
which are in need of drainage.

The bill stipuIatss that the yeomen

inserted in the bill on the insistence
of Chairman Butler and organized
Government employees, represented BY
the National Federation Of Federal
Employees. It is a. follows:
Female members. except nurses, OF
the naval reserve force, shall as soon
as practicable and in no event later
than thirty days after the date or ap-,
provaI of this act, be placed on in
active duty. Members OF the naval
reserve force shall not hereafter be
ordered to perform active duty on
shore Of a kind which is ordinarily
performed by civilians, and all TeserV-
lists now performing such duty shall
be relieved from such duty within
thirty days after approval OF the act"
The bill further provides that tenn
porary appointments made by the Sec
rotary OF the Navy shall not continue
after July 1. 1920.

HOUSE CUTS Jobs
FUND TO 100000

Although succeeding in partially
gripping the work OF the United
States Employment Service through
out the country. House conferees on
the sundry civil bill failed to strike
from the measure entirely the $4oo,-
900 fund appropriated by the Senate.
They did succeed, however. in cut
ting the amount in half. This leaves
100000 for the services Washington
headquarters, with not a cent for
the maintenance OF the numerous Of
fees in the States.
The conferees stipulate Just how
the money shall be expended in so far
as salaries are concerned. This pro-
viso is expected to meet the objec-
tions OF those who have charged that
the officials OF the employment SER
vice want the appropriation so they
can increase their salaries.
The conferees believed that the
5000. 1000 will enable the service to exc
out a bare existence until Congress
enacts legislation providing for a
permanent employment system under
the Department OF Labor. Objections
were raised by House conEerees to
reports that the service had too large

PLANSREADY TODAY

how much. il any, OF the army's sur
plus food supplies will be available
for sale in the District. John q. Nc
Grath. who has been engineering the
movement on behalf of lower food
prices in the city, declared that spon-
sors fthe scheme would be able TO
give out plans some time today, de-
pending on the action OF the Bureau
OF Excess Supplies OF the War De-
partment.
Mr.. McGrath's experiment in thc
Park View Community Center, whe-c
the schoolhouse was used as a recret-
tion and community center. and as
branch postoffice. is well known In
the city. BY having country pro-
ducers ship their food by parcel post
othis postoffice, residents were able,
by coming after their parcels them
selves. TO effect quite an important
saving on many food items.
That the whole city could do this
and use the schools in the same man
ner, is Mr.. McGrath's idea. and the
plan has received much enthusiasm.
The only thing left is for some one to
get behind il and push. he said
In the same cOnnection Senator
sherman, chairman Of the Senate Dis
trict Committee. who is to conduct an
investigation into the living cost here,
stated that il was his understanding
the sales would he made by the War
Department in such small quantities
that large concerns could hardly out
bid the consumer, thus getting hold
OF the foodstuffs and cornering the
market, or keeping costs higher. In
open competitive bidding the man or
group able to bid the highest would
be able to buy everything in sight
However. to forestall this, the sale
will be conducted in the interests OF
the consumer and not for the specu-
latoF.
Senator sherman said that the in
vestigating committee would soon
have in it's hands. figures on food costs
in this city. together with those OF
other cities for comparison. The av

size will also be used by the commit
tee, Is this will be part OF their work.
