A plan for clustering the poultry

secretary of the otero county poul-
try association.
Manager Beaman states that lie
gees no reason why that could not
be done after the prizes have been

county poultry men say they are
willing to pit their county display
of poultry against any county In the
state.
II permission is granted for clust-
tering the county exhibits It is be-
lieved the plan viii greatly encour-
age large showings from many OF
the counties. Fair dates arc Sep

that will be filled by the kings and
queens of the swine kingdom at the
Colorado State Fair. September 26

! Bids for the construction of an
addition to the already large swine
building, increasing it to the dimen-
sions given above, have been called
for by the state fair commission
Last years showing of hogs was said
to have been the largest ever seen in
one place of exhibition between the
Missouri River and the Pacific coast

there will be from 25O to 800 more
animals on exhibition this year than
last.
More babies have been entered Tor
prizes at the 1921 Colorado State
Fair than ever before at this date
many more in fact.

coming to Manager ]. L. Beaman
from all sections OF the state.
It is announced in this connection
that there shall be no examinations
Of babies this year until they have

ices of the physicians and trained
nurses in the service of the fair eau
not be had except for the purposes
OF the show.

Is the Joke on the
COn,nsissiOnerS
BY BILL PRICE.

The District Commissioners decided that they would
tote fair with Congress about estimates for appropra
tons for the Federal Capital Commissioner RUDOLPH,
mighty good business and clever taccan in dealing
with Congress, felt that sincerity in forwarding estimates
the right policy So he and the other Commissioners
conferred with Congressman GOOD chairman Of the House
COMMITTEES on Appropriations, and numerous influential
Senators and Congressman and made it known that est
mates for District expenditures would be for actual
sites only Therefore it would be expected that Congress
would accept the estimates and do pairing.
Despite this pleasant little understanding Congress put
the pruning knife to work large number of deficiency
estimates the other day and cut them about in half Dis
tct estimates suffered with those of Federal departments
and bureaus.
Which brings up the question whether Congress will
get out Of the habit of trimming estimates to the bone
when it is known that they represent absolute needsi
knowing this propensity of the honorable legislative body
shrewd departmental officials frequently send in inflated
estimates that they get appropriations somewhere
their real needs
Congress is trying to eradicate deficiency estimates al
together and is wise in this Yet the proverbal cutting
of all estimates however honest they may be- compes Gov
ernmenta agencies to send in deficiencies at the next
session
II the Commissioners stand pat their promises, and
they must do so and Congress follows its habua custom
of 'whacking" estimates right and left the District Gov
ement is likely to be in bad plight for money future
years Anyhow the District is to find out whether sincerity

Farmers and
Cooperation

WHAT agriculture needs is
wv brains.
The farmers have plenty of
industry and plenty of votes. They
could very easily get what they
want.
The trouble is that they are indi-
vidualists, and the individualists in
big business today are mostly
bOobs.
They have not learned the great
est lesson of the world.
They use the latest inventions in
plows, harvesters and corn planters,
but. they are not using what is
the greatest discovery of the nine
teenth century-Co-operation.
Every fellow is for himself. Iso-
lated by distance, he thinks he. can
get along isolated in effort
What is the RESULT
When he goes to sell his product
he is up against highly organized
combinations that play with him as
a cat plays with mouse.
The grain buyer or stock buyer is
the agent Of such an organization.
The railroads cooperate. The mar
kets are dominated by organized
groups, and the combined bankers
handle his money.
What farming needs is for some
Morgan or Ford or Hill or Harri-
man to take hold of it and unity it.
A farmers organization, as COM
pact and we'll drilled as the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, or the in
terlocking directorates of Wall
Street, or the Old Guard Of the Re-
publican party, could come pretty
near having its own way.
1t could regulate demand and sup
ply; it could control markets; it
could equalize profits for all; it
could prevent disastrous fluctuations
of price; in short, it could elect
its own officials, who would take
the places of "those shrewd manip-
ulators of wheat, corn and cotton,
who sell the farmers product with
ont even seeing it. and get more
