STOCK SHOW 'HUNCH'
ROAD TO BIG PROFITS
Inspires Purebred Ideas That Bring
Dividends

The National Western Stock Show
at Denver which il to be held this year,
january i6 to 22, is rightly considered
tose OF the leading educational institu-
tions Of the West. For fifteen years
this Show has been educating the stock
men of this locality to the value of i'm
proved live stock. The large numbers
Of new purebred breeding herds estab-
lished and the improvement made in
those already established is evidence
of the success it is achieving in the
educational field.
Among those whose newly establish
ed herds are testimonials to the value
of the Show as an educational institu-
ton is C.. Z. Eddleblute of Strasburg,
Colo. Mr. Eddleblute attended the
Stock Show of two years ago with
only u passing interest in improved
stock. He knew in a general way
that good breeding pays, but he had
no first hand knowledge of this fact.
He attended the auction sale of pure
bred Duroc-Jersey hogs and saw the
splendid animals go thru the ring at
prices which looked high in comparison
with those he had been receiving for
grade stock. Finally the desire to own
one of these good hogs became 80
strong that Mr.. Eddleblute began bid
ding. Almost before he was aware
of the fact, a fine young SOW from
the Brauer herd at Colorado Springs
had been knocked down to him at
good stiff price.
81 had never paid such price for
a hog BEFORE" said Mr.. Eddleblute.
"and | wondered all the way home if
l had made a mistake in buying her.
1t did not take long, however, for me
to decide that l had made a good buy.
After two years of experience with
this SOW | can say that she was the
cheapest animal l ever purchased and
today she is bringing me pigs / can
sell for more money than paid for
the SOW"
Mr.. Eddleblute's experience with
purebred hogs has led him to go fur
ther, and recently he purchased the
foundation stock for herd or regis-
,ered milking Shorthorn cattle which
ne is establishing on his ranch near
Strasburg.

TWO MANAGEMENTS
fort Lyon Canal Co. Has Two Sets
of Officers and Plenty of Trouble
in Store.

As Hon. Ray McGrath. president of
the Fort Lyon Canal Co., refused to
call a special meeting of the board Of
directors of the company and give the
newly elected directors an opportunity
to don their newly acquired honors,
three of the Latter decided they just
couldn't wait any longer to get their
fingers in the pie, and met all by
themselves. The three were c. w.

burn, with II. l.. Lubers as guardian
ad litem. All wanted office SO bad
they could taste it, so they got togeth-
er and elected themselves.
Senator Burke, who has been de-
of the Colorado state senate, was elect
ed president, ]. G. Washburn, vice
president, Frank Kreybill, who q few
years ago kicked Burke out as man
ager because he said he was incom-
petent, was elected secretary, and II.
l.. Lubers was elected attorney. The
fact that the resolution under which
the Amity agreement was made two
years ago was prepared and introduc-
ed by Lubers, and he was able to dis
cover when it was expedient that it
was illegal, was deemed evidence of
superior legal talent and his salary
was fixed accordingly.
This board is now in full charge of
everything connected with the COM
pany expect its offices, canals, bitches.
books, accounts, bank balance, tele-
phone lines, and other minor matters,
and is functioning about as actively
as Mr.. Burke will in the next session
of the state senate.
w. J. Fredericks, the regular secre-
tary, and b. F. Powell, the manager,
are still in charge and will most likely
remain SO until the court decides Just
who was elected directors at the recent
unpleasantness.

taxing bodies of the county the rates
which they intended to levy for the
1920 taxes. The state board and COM
missioners each fixed their levies for
state and county purposes at the same
figure rs last year, but most of the
town boards and school district boards
made material increases. The various

COLORADO INDUSTRY
HIT BY FREIGHT RAISE
The Great Alfalfa Meal Industry Al
most Brought to Temporary
Standstill by Increase in
Freight Charges Grant
ed Railroads.

Colorado has forty-nine alfalfa meal
,niIlr scattered over the eastern sec
tion of the state, representing an IN
vestment of several million dollars in
,apital. and which have been furnish
ins a market for a large portion OF
the states annual thirty million dol
lar alfclfa hay crop. 1t not only fur-
nishes the market for large portion
of the chop but stabilizes and advances
the price of all the balance-in fact
il has only been since this industry
was established here that the crop has
been highly profitable to the farmers.
About twenty per cent of these mills
ere located in Prowers county and fur
nish the largest single factor in the
distribution OF money for our farmers
crops.
Today this great industry which
means 10 much for the development
OF the agricultural resources of the
state is facing almost complete par
ays;s. Only eight mills are running,
seven of which are located in Prowers
county and most OF those in operation
are owned by the Denver Alfalfa Mill
ing & Products Co. This company is
making an effort To keep going by pay
ing the farmers more than the present
market price of the product justiiies.
Market price is misnomer because
at any figure which would pay even
. small profit to farmer and mill there
is no market at all.
The cause for this situation is easi-
ly found when the conditions are
thoroughly understood. Alfalfa meal
is not an absolute necessity, as there
are many substitutes which, while not
possessing all its merits, can be used
Tor the same purposes. 1t is, how
ever, a very highly important economic
factor in the feeding industry of the
country as it enables the use of many
by-products of other factories, which
were heretofore useless, but mixed
with alfalfa meal become valuable
stock feeds. This makes it the very
foundation of the mixed feed indus
try. Its use not only produces better
results in feeding but preserves for
the benefit of the whole country much
food value in by-produets which would
otherwise be wasted, thus adding mil
Lions of dollars to the real resources
OF the nation. This includes much of
the molasses products of the country
and much of the by-producss of the
large cereal factories. Alfalfa meal
in mixture makes them valuable and
available.
AS the great feeding industry of the
country is largely situated east of the
Missouri river and the alfalfa center
is far west of that point, the alfalfa
meal is necessarily long-haul pro-
duct. Its greatest competitors, corn
and oats, are for the feeding industry
short-haul products in the same terri
tory as the states in the Mississippi
valley are the greatest producers.
When the freight rate advance was
granted the railroads effective on Aug
ust 26th of this year it was made on
The Lamar register., 1920-12-22
Freight Rate Hearing

Interested in Decision of Meeting
at Chicago This Week

the basis i straight percentage IN
crease on all existing rates. The in
crease per ton wGs necessarily far
larger therefore on the alfalfa meal
than on corn and oats to these feed
ing centers. The increase ran from
1925 per ton TO Kansas to $4.75 per
ton Mt seaboard.
At the same time that this was
taking place the record breaking crops
of both corn and oats caused the bot
tom TO fall out of these prices and
they dropped over sixty per cent in
a few months time. This combination
of increased freight rates and low
prices of competing products made an
inevitable drop in the price of meal.
In fact the continuous drop in grain
prices has reached the point where
there is no longer demand for the
alfalfa product that at the present
freight charges will produce what
might be called real market.
The Idaho mills and farmers facing
the same situation asked reduced
freight rate from the Union Pacific
railroad and the Interstate Commerce
Commission after hearing the facts
with regard to the situation granted
reductions ranging up TO So per ton
at seaboard. The Colorado mills have
been granted hearing in Chicago
this week on a similar petition and
many of the prominent men in the in
dustry are going there to give testi-
mony as to the facts.
Many of the business men and prom
inent farmers of the Lamar territory
have been sending pressing kilograms
to Santa Fe freight officials the past
week as TO the urgency of the situa-
tion. The raise in freight rates on
alfalfa meal alone it is estimated
equals loss of four hundred thous-
and dollars to the farmers of Prowers
county in one season, and this seems
a very unreasonable share for one in
dustry in small territory to pay to-
wards meeting the railroad deficit.
MIR. F. VI. Wilson, general manager
of the Denver Alfalfa Milling & Pro-
ducts Co, the largest alfalfa milling
company in the country. was among
those who went to Chicago and he will
take leading part in the hearing of
the case. He was accompanied by o.
Z. Nelson, the company's traffic agent,
and they had a mass of evidence to
back up their position.
Over fifty thousand tons of alfalfa
are still in the fields of this county
Mr.. Wilson told the Register repre-
sentative before starting, and unless
relief is granted much of it will not
be marketed before the first crop of
1921 is ready for cutting. His COM
pany is running more mills than the
rest of the state combined, but it is
only BY the hardest kind of work in
hunting for markets and sacrificing all
thoughts of profits that it is being
done. The company has faith in the
future of the industry and intends If
possible to keep its mills going
through the crisis, but it is feared this
will be impossible unless freight re-
lief is granted or grain prices advance
soon.
The Santa Fe railroad has as great
interests in the Arkansas valley as any
other section of the country and moth
ing it can do will aid the valley more
than favorable rate for this indus
try.

Inquiries received by the State
Board of Immigration during the past
twelve months showed some decrease
in the interest of people from other
states in Colorado lands and business
opportunities, as compared with the
proceeding two years, though the in
tcrest is still considerable and indi-
cations point 10 reasonably good
movement to the state in 1921. The
Board received approximately 3,l00 in
quiries from individuals during the
period under discussion, nearly 2,700
OF them coming from persons interest
ed IL Colorado lands. There were
about 100 inquiries from business and
professional people and few inquiries
from persons who merely desired to
visit the state as tourists. In addition
to these new inquiries a large number
of letters were received from persons
who had previously been in communi-
cation with the Board and wrote for
additional information. II is very diff
ficult to obtain definite information
about persons who come to the state
as a result of their correspondence
with the Board, but such data as have
been obtained along this line indicate
that those who have become interest
ed in Colorado through this correspon-
dence and personal relations with the
Immigration Department have invest
cd not less than 100000 in the state
during 1920.

GENERAL COLORADO NEWS

Although the aggregate production
OF al crops in Colorado in 1920 was
by far the largest in the history of
the state their value will be consider
ably less than that. of last years crops,
as result of the heavy decline in
prices of farm products that has oc-
CURED in the pest four months.
A few examples will illustrate the
magnitude OF the loss suffered by
farmers because of this price decline.
The total production of wheat in
the state this year is above 27OOO,OOO
bushels, according to the final esti-
mates compiled by the Colorado Co.
operative Crop Reporting Service,
compared with an estimated produc-
ton OF about 1S,40O,OO0 bushels in
1919 Yet the value of this years
crop It prices prevailing or December
1 was about $36,6O0,000. compared
with value Of $97, 100000 for last
years crop at December ! prices. The
output of corn this year is estimated
ct about l7,4OO0O0 bushels, compared
with 100000 Last year. and the val
ue OF this years crop is about Sl2,-
200, 700, compared with Sl6,6OO, 900 for
last years crop. The potato crop this
year is ten per cent less than that Of
last year, but this years crop is worth
only about SS,700,000. compared with
SIS 100000 for last years crop.
