Mayors to Discuss
Tunnel Project

The mayors of every city and town
in Colorado have been invited to as
semble in Denver next Monday for a
discussion of the proposed James
peak. Marshall pass and Cumbres pass
tunnels. The construction of these
tunnels has been recommended by the
state railroad commission.
The meeting of the mayors was
called by Mayor Bailey of Denver and
Gov Shoup. In addition to the may
ors. each town and incorporated VII
laee has been requested to send two
additional representatives. to the con-
ference. 1t is the desire of the pro-
moters of the meeting to accuaint the
voters of Colorado with all of the
facts connected with the building of
these three tunneis as the question of
bond issue for their construction
will be submitted to the voters at the
coming November elections.
Next Mondays meeting will be held
at the Denver auditorium. In the
evening the visitors and delegates 10
the conference will be guests of honor
at dinner to be given at the Brown

LIVESTOCK NEWS

In our next issue we expect to pub
lish breeders directory containing
the name of every stockman in the
county who is growing registered live
stock of any kind. This will be val
liable information as time goes on for
there has been nearly 100 head of
registered live stock imported into
county in the last few years and the
number is steadily increasing every
year. 1t will be interesting to know
who these progressive farmers are.
The Livestock Shipping associa-
ton under the able management of
Frank Steinmier has made a remark
able record this last year. Seven car
loads of cattle and hogs have been
shipped to the Denver market and
good prices received for each ship
ment One shipment topped the Den
yer market by 25 cents and was said
to be the best marked car of hogs that
had come to that market from a ship
ping association. 1t pays TO cooper

a. ]. Green believes in better beef
cattle and TO back up that belief has
introduced six registered Hereford
yearling bulls into his herd. If others
would follow his lead we would soon
have better beef cattle in the valley.
James Belknap shipped eight reg
istered 2-year-old Hereford bulls to
Hillside recently. He expects to use
only two himself but is aiding his
neighbors to improve their herds also.
On March Mr.. A. ]. Stevens and
sons of Longmont, Colo, will hold
sale of AS head of registered Holstein
cows and heifers. This will be an ex-
cellent opportunity for anyone to get
high grade dairy cattle This class
of stock is scarce, so it will pay to
investigate.
Sam Hoffman will sell his livestock
on February 25. See exchange list.

REPORT OF STATE FARM
BUREAU PROCEEDINGS

feel that | was well repaid for go
ing to the state Farm Bureau meet
ing by learning just what the farm
bureau really is.
believe there are a good many
people in Fremont county like myself
who haven't not a clear idea OF what
the farm bureau is, so / will try to
explain II.
The farm bureau is different from
any other organization in the world. +.
it starts from the ground and works
up or in other words, it starts from
the community organizations they
map out their outline of work or pre-
scribe for their own ills as it were,
and the county plan of work is made
up from the community plans like
wise the state makes up their plan
of work from the county plans, also
other organizations organize first ma
tional. then state, and then local,
while farm bureau reyerses the or
der and organizes first local, then
state and then national.
The farm bureau is an organization
for work and every member is 4 mem
ber OF the department of agriculture
and is supposed TO get his sharea
the farmer his wife and his children.
and is supposed to get their shoulder
to the wheel and do some community
work. and when | saw what the farm
bureaus were doing in some of the
other counties of this state It i'm
pressed me with the possibilities of
the farm bureau when the members
really do get their shoulders to the
wheel. The farm bureau Is only n
81 aF,mS aga.,. fn,-
tries to lift a red hot stove, but has
never gotten its fingers burned very
badly yet II has 100000 members in
twenty-eight states of which Colorado
has $500 members. The farm bureau
idea is that agricultural conditions can
best be remedied by righting condi-
tions at home rather than by pass
ing so many laws to remedy the de
fects. Farm bureaus can analyze the
situation and help to organize coop
erative associations and be the big
brother to them but should never go
into business Itself
The farm bureau Is also the short.
est route for local thought to reach
the national organization on questions
OF national importance
There were many good talks by
state and national men. also by mem
bers of the college faculty. They all
thought there was n great future for
the farm bureau. Their line OF thot
was that the fundamental thing Is the
rural schools of which the consolidat-
ed school is the best.
Second IS transportation. We must
have more railroads across the noun
tains to develop the whole state OF
Colorado.
We must have better wagon roads
and the farmers will have to see 70
keeping pa good many Of these them
selves.
Third Is irrigation and drainage
with the accent on drainage
Fourth is keeping our boys at home
rather than getting more easterners
here.
Fifth: Legislation on marketing.
Sixth: Development of Industrial en-
terprises.

THE NEW COUNTY AGENT

The work in this county has been
seriously handicapped by the loss of
our county agent. Mr.. Jeffries, and we
can hardly hope to get another man
who can accomplish 'as much good az
he did. If we are able to secure such
a man we can consider ourselves ex-
tremely fortunate Mr.. Jeffries de
serves credit for overcoming the oh.
stacles which confronted him in this
county
When Mr.. Lovett, the county agent
leader, was here a few days ago he
assured us that he would make every
effort to secure a good man and would
not send a man until he had secured
the right one.
The following editorial from the
Denver Record Stockman is very ap-
propriate at this time:
HELP THE COUNTY AGENT
Few forces in the west are doing
more for better agriculture at the
present time than the county agent.
His work is attracting much favorable
attention and he is giving 10 agricul-
ture production a standing which It
has not heretofore enjoyed. His work
is constructive. and many communi.
ties of the west. in which there are
wide-awake. live-wire county agents.
have made wonderful progress in ag-
ricultural development initiate years
There are misfits undoubtedly in
the county agent work just as there
are in every other line OF endeayor.
The majority Of the county agents.
however. are conscientious. hard.
working fellows who have spent years
in preparation for the life work which
appeals to them, and who are well
equipped to assist in better produc.
tion.
Many a good man has failed as o
county agent because he did not have
the cooperation and support OF the
farmers and stock raisers OF the com
munity To insure the best OF work
there must be cooperation on both
sides. The county agent must do his
best to get into the life OF the com
munity and show that he is Interested
in everything which makes for its bet
terment. He must know local condi-
tions and local resources. and above
all he must be ready and willing to
help at every opportunity We are
glad TO say that most of the county
agents we have met are OF this class.
There must also he cooperation on
the other side. Nothing 40 thoroly and
effectively stiles the work of a good
county agent as lack of appreciation
and unjust criticism
Too often the leading farmers or
stock raisers OF county do not give
active support to the work of the
county agent and practically nullify
his efforts by an attitude of ,ridicule
and criticism. A man cannot do best
work under such circumstances. Give
your county agent your unqualified
support and see how quickly he re-
spends with the best that is in him.
and you will be surprised to find
much more in most cases than you
imagined

Rainbow Co. Brings
i'm Another Well

The Rainbow Oil and Gas Company,
composed largely of Canon City stock
holders, and in which Dali DeWeese
and G. c. Hawkey are the field man
ayers, brought in its second petroleum
well in the Desdemona, Tex, district
at 3 o'clock last Friday morning, ac-
cording to d. NJ. Walker, who arrived
here from a visit 10 the southern oil
fields Wednesday night. Mr.. Walker
was present when the latest of the
company's wells was "spudded in
and he describes it as about a 800
barrel-a-day proposition. The oil was
found at a depth of approximately
1900 feet. The first well has tenn
porarily ceased to flow and will have
to be "swabbed" out before it is re-
stored as a producer. Mr.. Walker
says the prospects of the Rainbow
company are very encouraging. de-
spite the fact that it has not yet
struck a bonanza" producer. The
newest well of the company is To-
Gated about a mile outside the limits
of the town of Desdemona.
