Gunnison, December 3l:-For three
decades the livestock industry has
been the basis of Gunnison County's
prosperity. From 1880 to 1890 min
ing held the center of the stage, but
with the comparative decline of the
camps as silver went down, the COM
bination of cattle and hay came TO
the front and still retains its promin-
ence. The market value of ten thous-
and head of prime Hereford and
Shorthorn cattle is the usual autumn
payroll of the Gunnison ranchmen,
and there have been many vars when
this meant a million in cash. Present
prices have reduced that income, but
1t still figures high and brings in the
brig checks from the commission
houses at shipping time. Stock from
this quarter of the mountains has now
been carefully bred for twenty years,
none but the best pedigreed bulls be-
ing imported or allowed to run on the
two million acres of range surround
ing the fertile valley.
Our feeders on the markets COM
mand the top prices because of their
quality and invariably good condition,
This years record has furnished no
exception. altho now being forced to
sell at low prices, the surplus market
ed by local ranchmen has been small
er than for many seasons.
Ours is county of comparatively
small herds, owned by the men who
own the ranches nearby. Few ranch
men of the Gunnison region own over
500 head, yet nearly all the 300 land
owners own such herds as their
ranches will feed thru the winter, and

THANK o
PAID 5000 FOR A FIDDLE

Paris, April .2o-A Stradivarius
violin for which the maker Antonius
Stradivarius received 80 francs
when he made it at Cremona in
1875, has just been sold here for
103,4oo francs including the war
tax. This is equivalent at current
rates Of exchange to about $4,000.
The violin was for a long time the
property of the late Charles La
moureux founder and conductor OF
the famous .Lamoureux orchestra.
The recent tests which seemed to
establish that modern-made violins
cannot be distinguished from
ancient ones by their tone do not
seem to have affected the price OF
ancient instruments, if this sale can
be taken as a criterion.

Expert

Chicago, April 13.-The live stock
industry has ct the pace for agricul-
tural readjustment and indications
are that it will continue to exert a
dominating influence in the return
OF business to normal conditions"
according to a quarterly report issue
today by S. B. Stafford, president of
the Chicago stock exchange.
"Prices are on a sound basis"
said the report. Continued light sup
plies may be expected because of the
enormous losses the spring pig crop
has sustained.
Seattle should sell at higher
levels. We are on the verge of a
scarcity of beef producing animals
that would have become acute before
now, had not the depression caused
an increase in marketing at the same
time it curtail consumptive demand"
"Since the turn of the year," the
report adds Give stock has been
pulling the farmer out of his pre-
dicament."
A high sheep market all summer is
forecast with the statement that
lamb prices have been the highest
since the decline from wal levels.

ROLL, WEEVIL CONTROL

Why should special machines be
used for applying calcium a%rsenate?
Calcium ~arsenate. is different from
other poisons in thai it is designed
to poison the dew. To treat all the
dew it is necessary to cover the en-
tire cotton plant with calcium ar
senate. No machine was equal to
that, so it was necessary to design
one especially suited to the task.
This the federal experts have DONE
taking out patents in the name OF
the government so that the farmer
is saved the expense of paying
patients cost.
What types of machines are suit
ed to various sized farms?
For a small farm with less than
Is acres in cotton, the hand gun
may be used. Each hand gun can
take care Of about eight acres n
hand gun will cost from $3.50 to
$4,000.
A hand gun will take care OF one
row at a time. It Is operated by a
crank that turns a fan to force the
poison out of the spout into the air
For the farmer who operates
more acreage a mule back or one
mule machine may be employed.
TIL mule back machine has two
spouts and therefore can cover TWO
rows at a time. 1t is mounted on the
back Of a mule and operated by
hand. 1t costs from $45 to sos and

each machine is capable Of covering
so to so acres q season.
The one-mule mahine' is mounted
On a wheel which affords traction
for operating the fan. 1t will cover
two to three rows at a time and
will take care Of go to 20 acres in
season the cost is from 500 to $140
Machines of this type are very sat-
isfactory and relieve n of the
arduous labor Of turning cranks
which the hand gun and mule-back
machines necessitate.
A machine for larger acreage is a
three or four row two-mule ma
chine with wheel traction, each ma
chine being equal to handling 100
acres a season. The cost varies from
$3.50 to 500. This machine is
heavy and not as well suited to clay
ey lands, because it is necessary to
apply poison at times when the soil
would be muddy.
A still larger machine equal 20
covering several rows at a time has
been used to a limited extent, but it
is suitable only where a larger acre
age is embodied in each field.
Is calcium arsenate dangerous to
life?
Calcium arsenate is, Of course,
poisonous, but if simple precautions
are taken there will he no danger to
mar or beast. If cattle break into
the cotton field and are allowed to
feed on poisoned plant they may get
enough poison to kill them. If plow
mules persist in nibbling at cotton,
it would be better to muzzle them.
When a mar has concluded the
days poisoning ne should bathe all
over and of course, before he eats
any meal he should wash his hands.
Keep the poison in storage where
the cattle can not get at it.
Will calcium arsenate promote
plant louise damage?.
Instances have been found where
it appears that calcium arsenate pro-
NOTED plant louise damage by de-
stroying the natural enemy Of the
louise.
Plant lice are not bad. Whenever
they are abundant enough to do
harm, an application of nicotine sui
phate will keep them in control. One
should not, in order to keep them
down plant lice, refrain from killing
boil weevils; since between the two
no farmer should hesitate as to
which to choose; but since nicotine
sulphate is a cheap means Of con-
troll for lice, there is no reason for
making a choice.

I this kind are that if the stalks are
hit hard enough to dislodge the boil
weevil, the cotton plants will drop
some of their leaves into the oil,
which, of course. affords safety for
the weevils. It is also found that 1T
is almost impossible to keep from
splitting the oil.
Some farmers in nearly every
community will try to catch weevlis
at night with a light suspended over
a tub containing water coaled with
kerosene, their impression being
that the boil weevil flies at night.
But the weevil is not a night flyer
and, of course, the light trap IS OF
no value.
Are boil weevils attracted by poi
soned sweets?
Complete tests indicate that the
boil weevil is not a lover Of sweets;
in fact, it is attracted by no sweet
except honey.
In parts of the South there was
quite an extensive use of poisoned
molasses last year, the belief being
that the boil weevil was attracted by
the molasses.
The only reason that boil weevils
visited the poisoned molasses was
because there was no dew and the
molasses offered the only drink. At
ter devices nights poisoned molasses
or other poisoned sweets have been
found to kill boil weevils effectively
but it has also been found that poi
soned molasses kill honey bees,
humble bees and other sweets-loving
insects. These insects perform a
great service to the farmer in that
they carry pollen from n flower
to the other and thus help the crops
to produce more than they other
wise would. Wherever there is nectar
in a flower there nature is calling
for the bee as an aid to the cross
fertilization of flowers.
Poisoned sweets r also more
dangerous to live stock on the farm
because live stock like sweets. .
Poisoned sweets can do nothing
that can not be done better and with
less expense by calcium arsenate
nor does calcium arsenate kill de-
sirable insects.
Is poisoned liquid usful In de-
stroying the wintered over weevlls!
Appliances are being offered to
farmers for putting calcium arse
nate in liquid form on the small cot
ton plants to kill the Wintered over
weevils.
This is better than poisoned mo-
~lasses, but better still, is discussed IN
a previous article, is an application
Of calcium arsenate busted on the
young plants.
It is a difficult matter to make
and maintain an effective liquid pol
son. It does not lend itself to a COM
plete distribution of poison over all
parts of the plant as does the dust
form.
