In times Of falling prices business
i always bad, especially the farming
business.
IN looking for 4 remedy the frs.
question naturally asked is: why 50
large n charge for distributing our
products 20 the city consumer!" And
probably the next natural uestion isin-
the farmer is: III this charge is in
evitable, why not do the work our.
selves and keep the change"-name.
Is why not 20 into marketing?
II we analyZe the first question
we will find there are many reasons
for high marketing charge. A few
important ones are:
J. There is an enormous amour,
Of work done in handling, hauling
sorting and storing farm products
Some Of this work is increased on ac.
count of mixed and unsorted products
from the farm which have to be grad
ed and repac<ed.
2. We have developed eomplicat-
ed system of life in which farm pro-
ducts are hauled thousands of miles
or stored for months. in order TO
satisfy the year-round demands OF
the consumer.
3. Our cities have grown so fast
their marketing organizations have
been unable to expand and keep pace
with them, hence endless congestion
and confusion in distributing our food.
/. The general public does not
know as much about the marketing
charge for manufactured articles as
Il does about farm products, hence
il does not realize that many farm
products are handled on a narrower
margin than many manufactured ar
ticles, while the farm products whose
marketing charge is highest Is as a
rule very perishable and subject to
big risks in handling These are the
views of Il. r. Burdick of the State
Agricultural College.
As TO the second question, Market
ing is a man-sized job, requiring the
full thought and energy OF the one
who hopes 10 make II succeed. The
same is true of farming-one man can
scarcely do justice to both.
The farmers best move is to secure
expert men to work for him on these
problems, to keep the farmer inform
al as to market prices and world
production of crops and the probable
demand, while the farmers locally
unite in strong organization to sup
port their hired experts and to assist
in putting out uniformly graded and
packed product of highest quality.
This would be getting into mar
keting right-on the ground floor.
When that is done, go on If neces-
sary to the next step and establish
farm companies in the cities TO ham
die the produce Improvement will
come from slow, steady growth and
education, not from going into big
business unprepared.

YOUNG CALVES MUST
HAVE GOOD CARE TO
MAKE THEM HEALTHY
Never Feed Several in Trough at
Onee-Feed Them Separately in
Stanchions If Possible. They Will
Spill Less Milk That Way and Can
not Suck Each Others Ears

Agricultural College News-Notes:-
The first important factor in rails
ing good, healthy calves is breeding,
and the second is the care they re-
ceiye before maturity.
The proper feeding of the calf be
gins before il is born. Cows in weak
condition give birth to weak calves
that are difficult to raise. A cow
should be dried OFF, at least six
weeks before calving. When about
to "freshen" she should be given n
clean stall to avoid danger of infec-
tion. IL there has been any white
scours on the place, the naval should
be disinfected with tincture Of iodine
Immediately after birth. The calf
must have the frs. milk, or colostrumr
but may be taken from its mother
the second or third day.
In case the COW should die in calv-
I ing or dcvelope disease like garget
or milk fever, whole milk from an
other COW should be substituted and
the calf given two or three table
I spoons of castor oil.
Whole milk should be fed until the
calf is two or three weeks old Skim
milk should be gradually substituted.
1t is of the utmost Importance that
calves be fed the same amount OF
milk. at the same temperature. from
clean buckets at the same time each
day. Never feed quite enough milk
to satisfy hunger. Stertilize the milk
buckets which are used for feeding
\ the calves each day the same as you
do the milk cans.
You cannot raise healthy calves il
you feed several of different sizes in
one trough. 1t is economy to feed
them from stanchions, is the opinion
of DIR. Chas. Glover of the Agricul-
tural College at Fort Collins. They
will spill less milk and cannot suck
each others ears, which is detriment-
al. The fat that has been removed in
skimming may in measure be sub
stituted by adding handful Of lin
seed or corn meal to each pan of milk.
Calves will begin to eat hay and grain
at an early age, especially if they are
in the same pen with older calves.
The main thing in raising calves is
cleanliness, regularity and freedom
from over-feeding.

Ranch and RANGE ::
INCREASE IN NOS-IRRIGATED
AGRICULTURAL LANDS

The rapid increase in agricultural
activities in non-irngated sections Of
Colorado Is especially emphasized by
the Etatistics on irrigation for the
state, just made public By the federal
census bureau and partially interpret
I'd by the state immigration depart
ment BY comparison with statistics
furnished that department By county
assessors.
The report Of the census bureau
shows that g23 $50 acres Of crops.
exclusive Of orchards, were harvested
from irrigated land IN the state In
1919 compared with 1881 .3al acres
In 1903, or an increase Of p per cent.
The total area harvested in 1919. ex-
elusive Of orchards, was 5.O52 .955
acres, compared with 2,5l3.9I7 acres,
the increase being 90 per cent. This
leaves the non-irrigated area Of crops
harvested in 1919 at 3,i29.O5 acres.
as compared with ! l.O32. .523 acres in
1909, the increase being about 20
per cent.
In 1909 the area Of irrigated crops
harvested in the state was eual TO
sixty per cent Of the total harvested.
while in 1919 Il was equal 10 but 3s
- NN'AE VI kHN tl4A4lt aFsA harvested.
The percentage Of irrigated crops
planted in 1919 was even smaller than
the percentage harvested. for the rea-
son that 1919 was n very unfavorable
year in some sections Of the state
and the acreage Of crops not harvest
ed was large. Reports Of county as
sessors to Immigration Department
indicated that something more than
$500 900 acres OF crops were planted
in Colorado in 1919, and the census
report indicates that nearly 100000
acres were not harvested, or were fed
TO stock in the field. Most Of this
abandoned was in the non-irrigated
districts, Of coursc, and IL is apparent
that the acreage Of non-irigated crops
planted was perhaps as much as $780,
600 acres greater than the acreage
harvested.
Reports of county assessors this
year Indicate that the acreage of nom
irrigated crops planted in the state ex-
elusive of orchards, is close to 20
per cent Of the entire acreage. Up TO
date the season has been an unusually
favorable one, and the area harvest
ed. II conditions until haryests are
remain as favorable as
they have been at the present time,
will fall very little short of the acre
age planted. This shows that the
acreage of non-irrigated crops cultiva-
ted in the state still is Increasing
more rapidly than that of irrdigated
crops.

RED CROSS PROGRAM IN
PUEBLO ANNOUNCED

One-third of the families who were
made homeless by the Pueblo aood
owned their own homes. according to
a statement made by Robert S. Cast,
chairman of the Red Cross Advisory
Council. at the annual meeting OF the
Pueblo Commerce Club recently.
In his talk concerning the huge re-
habilitation program undertaken by
the American Red Cross Mr.. Cast
stated that the most recent examina-
ton of the case records of the Colo
RADIO Disaster Relief showed that
there were 23iS families in Pueblo
alone whose homes were completely
or partially destroyed. OF this num-
Der T39 owned their homes. and 1873
were renters. He also announced
that this number of families repre-
sented 1851 persons made homeless.
"At the present time, the Red Cross
mas available for immediate use $780,
900 which makes an average Of not
more than S100 for the assistance OF
each family. This does not mean that
everyone, irrespective of need, will re-
ceive that much, but it does repre-
sent the average aid. This does not
take into consideration the needs Of
the people in the are further down
the Arkansas Valley-La Junta and
Nepeste and the rural district east
of Pueblo
Following up this statement Mr..
Cast explained to the members Of the
Commerce Club that the estimate OF
the Red Cross of the additional sum
actually needed to meet the basis,
domestic or family necessities Of these
people for food, clothing and simple,
essential furniture, amounts to
quarter Of million dollars. II build
ing or even the repair of houses is
undertaken, the Red Cross will re-
o,Iire another $500. 900 as minimum.
