ALFALFA GROWN WITH PROFIT
UP To NINE THOUSAND FEET
Hardy Brands Alfalfa Do Well in
Higher Rexions-Some Kinds Of
Clover Do Better at Elevations of
1000 to 5000 Feet.

Can alfalfa be grown in high alti-
tudes, and II 50, what yarities ," Is
the burden Of . number of inqui lss
recently received by the Colorado Az
riculrural College. Prof. Kezar was
asked: is Il possible TO grow alfalfa
in these high altitude regions >"
Up 20 ZOO and 5000 fee, adapted
strains Of common alfalfa or northern
grown common alfalfa will thrive
under proper conditions Of culture. At
thee attitudes and even higher up, 70
5000 feet, Grimes do better than the
common alfalfAs and will produce good
crops. The hardy alfalfas will stand
more severe winters. They are not
damaged 50 easily by spring frosts.
Nine thousand feet represents ap-
pToNimately the limit of which alfalfa
may be grown In many places with
elevation of 1000 or 5000 feet, some
Of the clovers would be more prefer
able than alfalfa The seasons are so
short in such places that alfalfa will
make only ore cutting. The clover
will make as many cuttings and under
some Of these conditions will produce
a bigger yield at one cutting. Il
simply becomes choice Of crops und-
er such conditions. THE one produe-
ing the biggest crop with the most
tonnage should be chosen"

We will say this for the Denver

this winter will result IN considerable
thinning out OF the pests and save u
whole lot Of stock a. well as game
There Is no doubt but that the deer

S. J. Bartlett, professional hunter

gcstions in hunting and trapping lions
Right now is the closed season on

should be made whereby Legitimate
trappers should have the right to kill
the game absolutely necessary TO bait,
ing the traps.
These traps incidentally, should be
about a number with 8 TO 10 feet OF
chain attached to green clog or drag
from seven TO ten feet long and -four
or five inches at the butt with the
branches trimmed about six inches
from the trunk. The chain should b,
fastened TO the small end of the clog
and securely. A trap fastened ir
this way will form drag that will
not allow the lion TO break away, and
at the same time will keep him from
travelling very far from the place
where he was caught
Allow Animal to Leave Blood Trail
The bait should be hung four oil
FIVE feet from the ground, preferabl,
fastened to the branches Of a tree
with the trap concealed beneath. Be
fore this is done, however, the bait
should be killed on the spot and bled
being dragged around ina circle OF
about 200 yards while bleeding. Trap:
should also be set at two or three
points at the rim Of the circle.
"The best place TO trap for noun.
tain lion is either in place wher,
they have been known to commit de-
predations, or along the rimrocks just
at the timber line.

DECIMAL SYSTEM WILL FACI-
LATE AMERICAN BUSINESS
This System Would BE Much Simpler
and More Efficient Than Present
Ones. Why Not Decimal Weights
As Well As Currency,

There is much agitation in the coun-
try now about the metric system of
weights and measures. Miss Virginia
COrbett, dean Of women at the State
Agricultural College has boiled
down several of the propaganda pam
phlcts and offers the following con-
else article:
One OF the results of the war. eN-
pressed in an effort toward world CO.
operation, Is a movement in favor of
general adoption of the metric system
OF weights and measures, now in use
in most Of the civilized countries of the
world. The World Trade club, which
consists Of 500 manufacturing Ameri-
can merchants, is sending out litera-
ture advising this change in English
speaking countries, now almost alone
in the use of the old units of weights
and measures
The metric system for standardiz-
ing and simplifying the weights and
measures of the world was devised by
the great EnglIshman, James Watt.
whose genius taught the world the use
OF steam as power. The United
States was the first nation to adopt a
decimal money system but congress
was too conservative to go farther
than to sanction the use of the new
decimal system of weights and meas
urcs where preferred, and it has never
been widely used.
Its adoption in scientific circles as
the standard has been forced for con-
venlence in communicating with in
vestigators of the world, and now the
reason for the change to the metric.
liter and gram system is being urged
by merchants who are interested in
world trade for America.
1t may be that the army returned
from France familiar with measure
ing distances in terms of kilometers
instead of miles, may aid in turning
public opinion in favor Of this desir-
able and practical movement.

GRAZING RECEIPTS BEAT
THOSE OF TIMBER SALES
Rocky Mountain District Contributes
S705.73s of Total Fees Paid in
More Than Sl.500.000 Turned Over
to Schools and Road Construction.

Rocky Mountain district Of the for
est service contributed sos, ,73S Of the
total received from all the national
forests Of the country. OF this amount
receipts from the national forests of
:hc six states comprising the district,
were as follows: Colorado, $500, 1876;
Wyoming, $l57,94S; South Dakota,
SCI ,l3T; Nebraska, $l4, ,i0i; Minneso-
Ia, Sll,777; and Michigan, $3.50.
The largest increase ever made in
a single year is seen in the receipts
from the national forests for the
fiscal year ending June 80. 1919, which
was greater BY S7S3, iS4 than in the
previous twelve months. The receipts
total $4,36S,s S,sl4 says Chief Forester II.
S. Graves, in his annual report just
made public. To this total the graz
ing business contributed more than
50 600. 900 and the receipts from tim
Der sales were somewhat more than
81 100000.
Under an act of Congress more than
n million and half of receipts were
turned over to the various states in
which the forests are located for
school and road purposes during 1919.
That the receipts from grazing now
fN'''u LIVE AANiAl
than a million dollars and from fifty
per cent of the total receipts is due
states the forester to the fact that
practically the entire forage crop of
the national forest can be sold during
the season under the present
conditions, while the annual timber cut
is but an insignificant fraction of the
sustained yield obtained from the
forests or Of the total cut of the coun-
try.
With the stockmen paying more
than two and half million dollars an
nually into the public treasury for
the use of the national forest ranges,
there is strong reason for their urg-
ing an increase in government eS-
penditures to make the range more
usewul TO them.
The forester points out that while
the receipts for 1919 were ITS per cent
Of those for 1915, the cost of operating
has remained practically stationery.
Some new fire funds were appropriat-
ed, but did not become available until
the last of July.

its position as the leading Colorado
crop in point Of value Early reports
indicated that wheat might advance
70 frst place this year. but the season
was exceptionally unfavorable for
whca, in some Of the important wheat
producing districts and as a result
the total production Of wheat Is far
below that indicated by early reports.
