Non.irrigated Crops

Per centage Of Decrease ------- s
From the above II will be seen
that the non-irrigated section shows
a decrease in corn, spring wheat and
beans. But even here the decrease
is not SO great as in the irrigated
section. The decrease in beans is
of slight consequence, and is q nat
ural result Of the experience with
what was an experimental crop In
the frst place.
The decrease In spring wheat Is
most hopeful indication; the only
regret Is that the decrease was not
100 per cent.
The decrease In corn Is regretta-
BILE, 1--WE doubt the accuracy Of the
iigures) but here the percentage Of
decrease is much larger in the irri-
gated section.
In the analysis Of the table we
have so far only taken the crops
that the Tribune classifes as irrl-
gated and non-irrlgated. We are
certainly not taking liberties with
the facts II we include sugar beets.
which declined nearly 80 per cent,
as an irrisated crop. The Tribune
would probably sco!f at the idea that
we could grow alfalfa without irri-
cation, 30 we will include that and
see what we have.

TIONS IN IRRIGATED SECTION
MAINLY RESPONSIBLE FOR RE-
DUcTION FR0K 1920 FIGURES

From the Greeley Tribune OF last
week. Tuesday evening or Wednes-
day morning we CLEAN some inter-
esting information.
The Tribune placed o little differ
ent heading than the one we have
used above. In fact their head was
as follows: abandoned Farming op-
ertations in Northeastern part Of
County responsible for reduction
from 1920 figures"
But let US have the facts that fol-
low the heading.
There were 1896 fewer farming
enterprises in Weld county this
spring than In the spring of 1920,
according to summaries Of agricul-
tural statistics prepared by the Colo
RADIO State Board Of immigration.
These summaries are based on figures
secured by field men Of the county
assessor.
In a years time the number Of
farms In the county dropped from
5,273 to 4,l77 and the acreage in
farms dropped from l,0s9,282 acres
in 1920 to Ss4,Sss. a loss Of 104. .4S3
acres.
Abandoned farms in the eastern
part OF the county is believed to be
largely responsible for this decrease
During the year the average acreage
in farm holding increased from
20S.47 acres to 2ls.l2 acres.
The comparative number Of farms
In the county classified AZ to tenure

WIRELESS TELEPHONES USED

Press Wireless telephony has been
put into practical use in China and
today every fire truck in the Shang'
hal International Settlement Fire
Department is equipped with Il radio
outfit with which to communicate
with the stations to which they are
attached. The primary cause Of the
innovation is the poor local telephone
service. In the Chinese districts where
most of the fires take place, there
are no telephones. IN the foreign
district it takes from ten to fifteen
minutes to put through a call at
night
As result of this condition the
community has erectsd Watch Tow

planes Forced To Land at Sea.
(BY the limited Pressl

WASHINGTON, Jan. ;-Featherej
fighters, product of the world wag,
are now meeting true appreciation
of their gallentry. The American
carrier pigeon, his service stripes
earned by conspicuous bravery" is
today virtually member of the en-
listed personnel of the United States
Navy.
All naval aviation pigeons are be-
ing registered today on the air sta
tion muster lists in a manner similar
to that employed in keeping the rec
ord of the personnel attached to
the station. Every bird has his num-
Der.
As a recent navy order requires
that all seaplanes, while in flight,
must carry pigeons aboard, no de.
tails are overlooked in giving the
birds the attention that their posi-
ton warrants Il is no easy mattei,
either, for a pigeon to break into
the exclusive class of enlisted fight
ers. Not only must these air birds
show high degree of efficiency,
after period OF training, but they
must have attained a certain air OF
maturity Young birds, for instance,
are not allowed ON the muster sheet
until their legs have grown large
enough to hold the band number OF
the naval air station to which they
are attached
Figures compiled by the Navy De-
partment show that during the last
ten months of the war, United States
naval pigeons delivered 2l9 messages
from seaplanes forced to land at sea.
These planes were without any other
means of communication and credit
is given the pigeons for saving both
men and machines. Many instances
have occurred where rgeons operat-
ing on the Atlantic seaboard have
been instrumental in delivering mes
sages requesting spare parts for dis
abled planes.
Recently at Pensacola, Fla, thirty
two birds were used bv airplanes in
delivering messages. The pigeons
covered 700 miles. with an average
speed of 80 miles an hour

GREEN SPRINGS
MOUNTAIN ROAD TO
Be MACADAMZED
Highway TO Klamath County Line
VIII BE Hard Surfaced the Com
ing Year and VIII Establish the
Lowest Grade Available Over the
Mountain.

The windup of the Pacific high
way will not by any means be the end
of road building in the vicinity OF
Ashland. All during this winter
wherever conditions are available and
whenever the weather permits, work
has progressed on the Green Springs
mountain highway where A. Gle
bisch has the contract for grading
to the klamath county line On the
upper reaches of the road snow has
interfered at times with road con-
struction, still all the sub-contrac-
tors have kept their crews working
whenever the weather was favorable
so as not to make the summer work
pile up to strenuolsly. Down in the
valley work has continued with more
or less speed continually throughout
the winter.
Next summer will see busy time OIL
this highway. As soon as spring
opens activities will start in earnest
on the Green Springs mountain road,
at which time the grading will be
completed and the entire stretch to
the county line will be macadamized.
Three miles of this road has already
been treated with a surface Of gran
ite as a test road. This has held up
well, and is a good indication that
this bodybuilding will be a perma-
nent one for this highway
G. e. MacVicor, who has been re-
Gently appointed resident engineer
for this district, has had the grading
of this road under his direct super
vision ever since it was started, and
when it is completed a roadway with
the lowest grade possible will unite
this section with the Klamath Falls
district, making this one of the most
attractive and convenient highways
in Southern Oregon.

GAS MASKS USED By
VOLUNTEER FIREMEN
IN MEDFORD DLAZE

MEDF0RD, Jan, - Ex-service
men equipped with gas masks used
in the big war aided the local fire
department Sunday night in putting
out a fire in the Garnett Corey office
building which resulted in an esti-
mated $4,000 loss largely covered
by insurance. The fire started in
the basement and because of the
density of the smoke the source could
not be located for some time.
The fire department was having a
hard struggle when dozen ex-ser-
vice men hurried to their homes, se-
cured their gas masks and led the
way through the smoke to the cen
ter of the trouble
Few of them were otherwise equip
ped for fire fighting and ten per-
iectly good Sunday suits were ruin
ed as Il consequence.

CITY Of PARIS
IS DANGEROUS
FOR PEDESTRIANS
Fifty Thousand People We're Struck
Down in the Streets of Paris Last
Year by Taxicabs, AutObuses and
Other Automobiles - One Hun
dred OF Accidents Prove Fatal.
By Z. NJ. HTIL[\GER.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
PARIS, Jan. Again Paris has
yindicated her reputation as the most
dangerous city in the world for the
pedestrian.
Fifty thousand persons were struck
down by taxicabs, autobuses and 9TH
er automobiles on the streets of Paris
during the last year, according to
statistics just compiled. OF these,
100 died. Fourteen thousand receiy-
ed injuries which necessitated hos
pital treatment over an extended
period, some being crippled for life.
The balance suffered bruises or lace
rations.
A large proportion were women
and children and aged persons.
Among the latter was a former min
lister of justice. Louis Neal, member
OF Clemenceau's cabinet, who was
killed by an American Army Graves
Registration car in front of Hotel
Continental.
These figures place the famous
pleasure capital well above any other
city in the world in traffic deadliness,
according to authorities here.
1t is more dangerous to cross the
Place de ropera or the Rue Lafay-
cite at its intersection with Chaussee
d'Antin or Place vendome or Place
Concorde than to stroll for hours on
the boulevards and streets of Petro-
grad or Moscow in Soviet Russia.
Paris high casualty percentage is
ascribed both the speed at which We
hicles are allowed to run in crowded
sections of the city and to defective
police regulation of traffic.
