CROP OF OUR COUNTY

II y0u noted the Russian sunflowers
about town homes and on ranches, you
obzer.,d that they were hardly touch
ed by the frosts which completely
killed crops and potatoes.
This Is a natural sunilower country
and the tame variety should give
wonderful " results as a field crop for
silage. From 20 to 30 tons Of feed
to the acre instead of a couple of tons
Of hay, would mean a great deal 10
the stOckmen.
4 number of ranchmcn have been
trying the Russian sunflowers on n
small scale this summer, and generally
with good results, except that some Of
the seed secured appears to have been
crossed with the wild variety and
does not produce the large, heavy
head Of succulent seeds, which often
grows a foot 10 IS inches across.
These crosses appear to grow large
stalks, but small heads like the wild
suntlOwCrs.
For stock feed the heavy stalks
should be cut into inch pieces when
cattle will consume every bit Horses
will bite the stalks up pretty well
without cutting Rabbits are exreme-
!y fond Of the stalks.

OUR AGRICULTURAL LANDS
NOT YET DEyEI OpEn

Montrpse county has over eleven
thousand acres of land under cultiva-
ton, more than any other county on
the Western Slope. 1t has 114,76l
acres. Delta county follows with
103,03l, a difference in favor of
Montrose county of 11,730 acres.
Mesa county follows, with 1859
acres. Gunnison county has the
most decided agricultural and grazing
land, but it is comprised in large
hay ranches and pastures. Some day,
when the science of grain and sun
flower raising reaches a higher stage
we will leap ahead of our neighbors.

INTERSTATE USES OF
THE COLORADO RIVER
Pueblo Chieftain:-

Pueblo Chieftain:-
The Colorado river differs from
other streams that flow outward and
across the boundaries of this state
in that it carries more water than
can be used upon Colorado lands.
Strictly speaking, the Colorado does
not flow out of Colorado state at all
but by the Colorado We mean here
the entire system of rivers that run
west from the continental divide in
this state.
Because of the surplus of water,
the Colorado river still presents op-
portunities for the irrigation engin-
eer and the capitalist, while it is still
an open question that concerns the
right to divert water from the river
at various parts of its course.
In the conference soon to be held
the agricultural and legal problems
involved. as well as the engineering
problems, will be considered, and It
will be hoped that some agreement
will be reached that will permit the
development that will so greatly in
crease the agricultural resources of
at least four western states.
The people of Colorado will be slow
to relinquinsh their claims to the
waters of the San Juan, the Gunnison,
the Grand, the White, the Yampa and
other rivers of this system. 1t may
be true that foot of water will bring
greater results in the tropical
climate near the mouth of the Colo
fado river than it will in the valley
or the mesas of western Colorado or
eastern Utah But on the other hand.
there is less loss by evaporation and
seepage when the waters are used
near their sources, and Colorado has
the additional advantage that water
used at the higher levels naturally
returns to the stream and may be
diverted lower down.
Colorado will not gain anything BY
repeating the untenable claim that
we have an exclusive right to all the
water that falls within the bound
aries of this state, regardless of the
people of other states who live lower
down the valleys of rivers that have
their sources here. That claim has
been decided against us, and the reas-
enable thing now is to reach an agree
ment that will be fair and just to all
concerned.

TURKEY RED is FAvORITE
VARIETY WINTER WHEAT

Speaking of winter wheat, John
Flick tells US that he had ordered
some seed of the new kanred variety
that is creating such furore, but
was unable to secure it in time to
plant this fall. To be really success
full, winter wheat must be planted in
time TO catch the August rains. A
great deal of turkey red has gone in
around Castleton this fall, encouraged
by the remarkable success Earl Nc
Gully had with his acreage above the
ditch. News Champion would like to
know some threshing results of those
who planted winter wheat year
ago.

GARDEN VEGETABLES
SCARCE THIS SUMMER
SAY VALLEY GROWERS

There will be scarcity of garden
truck this summer, say truck gar
deners, owing to the very late
spring and the cold nights. Home
grown vegetables will be fewer and
higher in price probably, as 1t VIII
take some time to make mp for the
season already lost. In gardens
about town very little of what was
planted has prospered, ana IN many
cases only corn has come up, llie
loss hardy sprouts failing to appear.
It looks as though this LOCALITY
would have to depend largely upon
the southern part of the state and
california for its summer supply 81
fruits and vegetables. Yesterday S
storm still further damaged the
prospects of the fruit crop when
had already lost most of the peach
es and apricots.

PROfITEERING IS NOT
 REASON FOR THE \. c. |.
Howard E. Figg Places Blame Largely on the Attitude of Labor Con-
 ditiOns in Country.

New York, Feb. 19-Profiteering is the last and least of six reasons for the high cost of living given today by Howard F. Figg, an assistant United States attorney general, at the ninth annual convention of the National Dry Goods Association, Mr Figg said !, however, that since dry goods dealers were guilty of profiteering and should be punished without trial.
 "The first reason for present con- ditions," he said lis the increased volume of money and credits; second, the wide increase in wages, due partly to war necessities and government wage scales; third, lessened world production; fourth, increased cost of distribution; fifth, reckless extrav- agance and spirit of speculation. and sixth, profiteering."
 MT. Figg predicted that there would be no appreciable reduction in prices until, labor considers itself a part of the whole industry and consents to CO., operate
 T do not mean' he said, ''that labor must give up it's short work days and its high wages, but I do mean that la Dor must bend it's back and work full 50 minutes in each hour"
 Labor cannot be made to see the position into which it is putting the entire industry of the world MT. Figg said. He added that no appreciable re- duction in prices could come until all fnterests-labor, the public, the manu- faeturer, producer, wholesaler and dis tributor-co-operate 2
 The excess profits and luxury taxes are tremendous factors in the high cost of living, and one tax which can be controlled "at central point" must take their place, Mir. Figg said. explaining that this meant single tax on the ultimate consumer.
 T think the retailer has a very definite part to play in making labor see the light MT, Figg said. "You retailers are dictators to the manu- facturers and should reflect the pub lies attitude to the manufacturer. The nuhlic is entirely saturated with high rriees. I doubt if it can absorb very much more"

Washington, Feb. 18.-The Allied Supreme Council has been informed by President Wilson, it was disclosed today, that if the proposed Adriatic settlement, to which the American | government is not a party, is put into force the United States might have to consider withdrawing the treaty of Versailles from Senate consideration. The presidents communication was not in the nature of threat in the
