CROP AND LIVESTOCK NEWS

The inquiry made in January by the
Cooperative Crop Reporting Service
regarding the number and value of
livestock on farms on January /, in
dicates a decrease in the number of
beef and range cattle, sheep and swine
and possibly slight increases in the
number of dairy cattle, horses and
mules, as compared with the number
of various classes of livestock on the
farms January /, 1919. A decrease
in the average value per head Of every
class of livestock is indicated and ap-
parently there will be rather sharp
decrease in the total value of all live
stock on farms as compared with
year ago. Reports of county assess
ors showed slight increases in all
classes Of livestock except sheep for
1919 as compared with 1918. The as
SCISSORS reports are taken as Of April
!, and it is generally conceded that
there has been a decrease in the num-
ber Of range cattle. sheep and hogs
since April /, 1919. The value Of all
livestock on farms in Colorado Janu-
ary /, 1919, as estimated by the Unit
ed States Bureau Of Crop Estimates,
was about s172,00O.O0O.
The State Cooperative Crop Report
ing Service. with the assistance of
county assessors, will endeavor to
make much more complete report
on the acreage of all crops grown in
the various counties in the state this
year than it has ever made before. The
schedule to be used by county asses
sors has been modified, after consulta-
tion with q committee representing the
assessors. II will be much easier to
handle than the schedule used in 1919,
and will provide information on the
acreage of many crops that were not
included in the 1919 schedule. County
assessors generally have shown COM
mendale interest in this work and most
of them are giving their deputies
special instructions this year as to the
Importance of obtaining every item of
information asked for in the agricul-
tural schedule. In the past Colorado
has been much behind other states in
the collection of accurate statictics re-
garding agriculture. This is the states
n53st important industry, and one
which offers almost unlimited oppor-
tunities for development. The collec-
tion of accurate statistics showing the
acreage and average yield per acre Of
all crops by counties is essential to
the proper development Of the uncul-
tivated agricultural land in the state,
of which there is approximately 49,
OOO, 900 acres.

l.. U. II. S. NOTES
Hardress Waller
Cooperation in the High School

During the past month the high
school has been working under ex-
treme difficulties. With two vacant
places in the faculty, and the princi-
pal and superintendent striving to
raise the standard of school work, the
attitude of the students has been ex-
ceptionally good. Mr.. Landreth, the
principal, has for several weeks been
teaching from SIX to eight classes a
day. The superintendent has also been
teaching extra classes along with his
other work. Both teachers and stu
dents have had to contend with unus-
ual difficulties. With building activi-
ties going or around the students they
have done their best to bend over their
work without grumble. The attitude
of the students with few exceptions
is very good. Cooperation, the. watch
word of l.. H. S. is showing promise
of being fulfilled in the high school
with very noted success.
The following substituted in the La
mar schools during the past week:
Mr.. MacLennan substituted for Miss
Bartlett at the high school; Irene Nit
chell for Mrs. Church at the Lincoln;
Lucille Mitchell for Mrs. Grimsley;
Nora Coffman for Mrs. Wright at the
Lincoln; Esther Biederbick for Miss
Gordon at Central; Lura Champlain
for Miss Rehms at Lincoln; Ruby Hen
kins for Miss Gordon last Monday;
Howard Hall for Mr. Rhodes at Pio-
neer last Monday; f. B. Rhodes and
Mr.. Shivington substituted for Mr..
Filkins, the janitor at Pioneer. Mr..
Jackson substituted for Mr.. Childress
the janitor at Lincoln.
The following students have been
absent because of illness during the

1920 SUGAR BEET CONTRACT
American Beet Sugar Company Has
Issued Its Beet Contract for
The Coming Season.

The looked for contract OF the Amer
lean Beet Sugar Company fixing their
price for beets in the valley this sea-
son has been issued and a copy is now
before us. The company has fixed the
same rate as has been fixed in other
states in this section of the country,
$12 per ton for beets testing IL per
cent sugar content. The contract pro-
vides that growers will receive beet
seed at 20 cents per pound although
much of it will cost the company more
than that figure. 1t also provides that
the growers agree to plant the beets
before May 20 and not irrigate them
after September /. Any beets irrigat-
ed after September l and either con-
tanning less than IL per cent sugar or
of less than 80 per cent purity if ac-
cepted at all will be paid for at the
rate of SO per ton. The company will
pay 81 per ton additional for beets
sliced and delivered on orders for
sliced beets. The company has had
great trouble the past season, the of
ficials say, with beets irrigated after
September first, many thousand tons
of which could have been rejected had
the company desired and these beets
cut the average sugar content in this
valley to 11.95, whereas in the north
ern part of the state the average was
above ID per cent. The contracts are
now in the hands of the company's
field men and are ready for those de-
string to raise beets at the advanced
rate offered this season.

PASTURING CATTLE
IN CORNFIELD IN
WINTER DANGEROUS

The annual reports of cattle dying
in the stalk fields are arriving in due
form and with equal regularity. 1t
must be true that most people do
not remember longer than one year.
otherwise farmers would not take a
chance on their livestock, under con-
ditions which only last winter prov
ed disasterous. Pasturing cattle in
stalk fields in the winter time is dan
gerous. An exclusive ration Of corn
stalks and water that is not easily
accessible, and Of poor quality, means
death to many animals. Corn stalks
are bulky and take up water like n
sponge. Cattle simply overload and
die Of impaction. This may be pre-
vented by providing a part ration Of
alfalfa. roots. pumpkins, or othef sue
culent foods and an abundant supply
of water. Salt should be accessible
at all times. Cattle will not rustic
much for water and unless II is easily
attainable they will not drink as
much as they should. Snow will not
take the place of water for cattle in
stalk fields.
Again there is the so-called, Corn
stalk disease" which is common in
eastern Colorado, Kansas and Ne
braska. 1t is thought to be the in
fectious disease, hemorrhagic septic
emia, in which case vaccination should
prevent II. Corn from the same field.
if cured and fed in the feed lots will
be perfectly safe. This disease is
still involved in much mystery and
until the cause is definitely deter
mined it will pay to be very cautious
about pasturing cattle in stalk fields
in the winter time.

NEW ADDITION WILL BOON
Improved Building Conditions and
Opening of Spring Will Cause
General Building Boom in
PaseO Place.

Since the improvement in building
conditions in Lamar of the past week
and the approach Of spring weather
the prospect for a big rush of build
ing in Lamar is Frightening and es-
pecially will this occur in Paseo Place,
the new Capitol Hill for Lamar. AL
ready contracts have been let for curb
ing and parking the driveways and
six fine new residences will be start
ed there within short time, and plans
for number more handsome homes
are being drawn and considered. This
will be in few years the most beauti-
full suburb of the handsomest and best
city in Colorado and the enterprising
men who are behind the addition are
sure guarantee that it will be COM
pleted according to the proposed plans
of the designers.

a plan of cooperation for a bigger
cation to be formed. The $50 CONNER
cial clubs, farming, mining and labor
organizations, are to be the basis of
representation. Governor Shoup has
approved the idea and has issued a
proclamation asking the state to sup
port the movement
The Boulder Commercial Association
thru its President, Warren F. Bleeck-
er, is calling the convention in a big
get-to- -gether-for-C Colorado spirit, with
the idea of cooperation between all
of the state organizations in one cent
raj strong body, eliminating duplica-
tion and Strengthening those things
which cannot be done individually by
one commercial body.
A program is proposed for the con-
vention which includes reclamation of
lands, agricultural development, pro-
lection of mining interests thru Wash
ington besides their internal develop
ment, protection of all Colorado in
terests thru Washington bureau, en-
couragement of good roads, building
of three railroad tunnels to the west
ern slope, securing of available water
and its diversion for irrigation, en-
couragcment of the tourist business,
seeking of new industries and the Sc
curing of such government patronage
as our position, wealth, climate and
ability justify.
An effort is being made to have a
delegation of five officially designated
delegates from every county in the
state, named thru the commercial clubs
and as many more as can attend. The
Pueblo Commercial Club will serve a
fine luncheon to all at noon Satur-
day, February IA, the day of the real
business session. Several speakers of
national and state reputation are to
make instructive addresses that will
help cement the states spirit.

LAND BOOM GROWING
Southern Prowers and Baca County
Lands Growing Rapidly in
Popularity.

The sale of non-irrigated farms in
the southern part of Prowers county
and in Baca county are increasing in
volume and dozens of new families
are coming in as a result. These peo-
pie are buying the lands, paying a
good figure for same and have enough
capital to insure improving and culti-
waiting the same after purchase. f..
w. Gregg, head of the Gregg Realty
Co., who has been conducting a well
advertised and effective campaign in
the east to bring settlers here, informs
us that he is selling land more rapidly
than ever before and that the pros
poets for a big immigration here in
the spring are very bright. His COM
pany has established strong connec-
tions in the heart of the farming COM
munities of the great central states
and is able to reach the people who
are contemplating a change of loca-
ton. Arkansas valley lands make a
special appeal to them owing to the
fine crops of the past few years and
general prosperity of the farmers, and
the conditions in this territory are
greatly superior to others because the
centralizing of manufacturing plants
at Lamar furnish a better and more
reliable market than can be obtained
elsewhere, even in the valley.

Helyetia Milk Rates

The Helvetia Milk Condensing Co. is
still leading all other condenseries and
creameries in Colorado in price paid
for milk and butterfat. They are gen
orally ten to fifteen cents above the
one at La Junta and the margin is
much greater over those in the north
ern part of the state. Their recent
circular offering farmers more for but
terfat delivered at Lamar than the
market price Of creamery butter shows
that they stand ready to encourage
and built up in every way the dairy
industry Of this section. The great
dairy sections of the country are the
richest farming districts of the world
and with the encouragement given by
this enterprising company and the
greatest natural dairy resources In the
country the Arkansas valley ought to
prove in few years veritable land
Of milk and honey.

LAMAR ALWAYS LEADS
And L. Writ Markham Keeps in the
Van of the Procession.

Since L. Writ Markham first came
to the Arkansas valley thirty odd
years ago he has always been consid-
cred one of the miracle men" of the
great Valley of Content, but it now
looks as if he might gain the distinc-
ton of being "the miracle man of the
age" AS the Register is prejudiced
in his favor it won't draw any con-
clusions but will just state the known
facts and let our readers figure it out
for themselves. While in Denver dur
ing the stock show he was taken sick
and the doctor ordered him to st. JOS
eph's hospital and on arrival it was
found that the only vacant bed was
in the maternity ward. Did Writ rise
to his surroundings Well, we have
before us now a birth card announc-
ing the arrival of young Charles w.
Markham at the maternity ward of St.
Joseph's on the following morning.

she is not sure that the end of the

Wrecking Army Morale

Not much news about what is 60
ing on in the army gets to the public
ear. The penalty for telling things
is always before the eyes Of officers.
Not long ago, it was reported from
Washington that Secretary Baker had
said that officers who said things de-
rogatory to the management Of the
army when testifying as witnesses at
committee hearings would be discip-
lined. But there are some outside the
army who are not muzzled and who
know what is going on. One Of these
is Senator Chamberlain Of Oregon. He
was chairman of the Committee on
Military Affairs during the war until
the Senate became Republican and the
chairmanshop went to Senator Wads-
worth, and is still the ranking Demo-
cratic member of the committee. In
explanation of the thousands of resig-
lain says that, while many Of them
are caused by the poor pay, many more
are protest against great injustice
in determining the rank Of officers
since the armistice. He says that the
morale of the army has been destroy
ed by favoritism and by bungling in
demotions, and is at the lowest ebb
ever known.
The substance of his declaration.
which he supports with names Of Of
ficers as typical cases, is that men
who served gallantly in France as high
in rank as Brigadier Generals have
been denoted to Majors and Lieuten-
ant Colosels, and are se- ing now at
equal or less rank with MEN much their
juniors, who have not been denoted
since the war, some, indeed, having
been promited Men with twelve to
twenty years less service in the army
are now ranking some of these veter-
ans of capacity and achievement. He
especially mentions Lieutenant Colon
el Kutz, the engineer officer who or
ganized the American engineers who
saved the day when the British Army
broke before the first great German
drive in the spring of 1918. He was
made Brigadier, but is now back in
this country as a Lieutenant Colonel
and serving as junior to a Colonel of
engineers graduated at West Point
fourteen years later than he did and
promoted to his present rank during
the war while engaged in service in
this country and given a distinguish
ed service medal. Senator Chamber
lain says there are literally thousands
of cases of such injustice and favorit-
ism, and that the wonder is so much
of the morale of the army remains.
Since Senator Chamberlain is a Demo-
crat and has been for years an advo-
cate of preparedness and a sufficient
military system, he cannot be charg-
ed with criticising the administration
for political reasons.-Globe-Demo-
crat.
