the people of Las Vegas.
Leslie K. Saunders spoke briefly.
mentioning the vast undeveloped re-
sources of this section and the ripe
opportunity which presents itself to
increase rapidly in wealth and popu-
lation. He spoke of the need of a
larger field of activity for the Cham
ber OF Commerce and offered to de-
vote all his time for the next few
months in needed publicity work for
tire Chamber 1t having long been
the wish of the directors to secure
the services OF such a man as Mr..
Saunders, on motion duly seconded
and Unanimously carried, Mr.. Saun-
ders was elected secretary. He i'm
mediately entered upon the work OF
the Chamber ,and upon his sugges-
ton, the president appointed a COM
mittee, consisting of DR.. R. w. Mar
tin, A. S. Henderson and c. r.
Squires, to confer with the president
and secretary in outlining the future
work.
The matter of the situation regard
ing state highway construction In
Clark county was brought up. Senator
Griffith reported that the state high
way engineer would be in Las Vegas
very probably in the near future, at
which time the Chamber of Com
merce expects to receive some def
mite information and assurances on
highway matters which for long
time have been in exceedingly un'
satisfactory shape so far as Clark
county is concerned.
Senator Griffith reported that he
is informed that the Arrowhead Trail
Highway has been or will be desig-
mated by the state board, as one OF
the two primary highways provided
for by the Act of Congress appropri-
ating Federal money for highway
construction.
The new Boulder Canyon road d.
rect from Las Vegas was reported by
DIR. Martin to be in very fair condi-
ton, notwithstanding the fact that
it has been damaged to some extent
by the heavy rains. The trip from
Las Vegas to Boulder Canyon and
return may now be made easily In
one day and allow several hours at
Boulder Canyon. Prior to the open
ing of the new road the trip from
Las Vegas to Boulder Canyon and
return required two days.
There being no further business to
come before the board the meeting
adjourned to Monday afternoon, jan
uary 9, at 23O.

ITALIAN RED CLOVER SEED OF
DOUBTFUL VALUE IN CORN BELT

Farmers who purchase clover seed
should demand information as to the
place Of growth OF the seed they SOW.
Those in the Corn Belt states. especial
Is north OF the Ohio river. should use
American grown seed whenever poss-
ibic. There IL little Information at
prO5ent regarding the adaptabllity to
American conditions OF red clover seed

but trials now under way by the Unit
ell States Department OF Agriculture

France as well as Italy. and Will be
reported in due time
Whether seed from southern Europe
Will prove satisfactory in certain sec
tions OF this country must be left for
future determination. but for the Mid
die West seed from southern Europe
f. not to be advised. While the plants
from such seed may survive some win
tors, the farmer who knowingly uses
such seed is gambling with the future
productivity OF his soil as well as with
his forage supply.
Statements have recently been made
to the seed trade by dealers to the ef-
feet that the department regards the
question Of the agronomlc value of
Italian clover seed as still undeter-
mined. Such statements are evidently
due 10 misapprehension as to the po-
ttion of the dcpaStmcnt. which, on
the basis OF existing informationn adj
yiscs against the indiscriminate use
or Italian seed, especially In the Corn
Belt states.
VARYING RESULTS WITH ITAL-
IAN SEED
on account OF the apparently incrcas-
ing difficulty experienced by farmers
in securing and maintaining their
clover stands in recent years, special
lists Of the department began studying
the behavior OF plants grown from i'm
ported clover seed some time ago, and
in 1916 trials OF Italian red clover seed
In comparison with that of American
origin, were commenced. These trials
wcro carried on in cooperation with
experiment stations or with private in
dividuals in various states. and re-
ports were received from. or personal
inspection was made of, trials in
Michigan. Wisconsin, Minnesota. Ohio.
and Tennessee.
In Tennessee all the paintings failed
because of unusually bad conditions
In the other states the Italian clover
killed out in some places but not In
others. For example. at Kalamazoo
Mich, the stand was nearly all killed
while at Menomincc, In the Upper
Peninsula, under "A heavy blanket OF
snow, all the plants came thru equally
well, In some cases the Italian plants
were badly attacked by Il summer
disease, which did not injure the plants
from American seed. This was the case
nt Grand Rapids Mich, Madison
Wis, and in Ohio.
The entry of the United States into
the war interrupted this work. but II
was taken UP again in 1920. when seed
OF Italian and American growth was
sown at three stations in Wisconsin,
and at Lafayette; Ind. Grand Rapids
Mich. In Tennessee. Idaho. Washing
ton and Oregon. The reports in the
spring of 1921 showed that at Ashland,
WIS, 80 per cent of the Italian clover
had been winterkilled. and at Spoonor,
Wis, all had winterkilled, while the
American plants suffered little In

AS result of this wonderful CO.
operative effort, the citizens were able
to have approved and accepted by the
syndicate 100000 in net land values
with which TO found their own rail-
road. They went over the top big.
under The proposed plan. the actual
construction Of the railroad will begin
this summer Many of the prelimin-
pleted. 1t will probably require one
year to complete the road and place
Ii in operation.
The building of this link of rail-
road Will connect with the outside
world one or the greatest districts OF
potential wealth in the United States.
The basin contains 100000 acres of
irrigated land. There are 100000
acres of additional land susceptible
of irrigation and cultivation, with
ample available water rights. There
are more than 100000 acres OF the
best non-rrgatod farming land in thu
west. capable Of producing profitable
crops each and every year. In addi-
ton there arc 100000 acres of tho
greatest mineraliHd area in the west,
containing a very wide variety of
minerals. The basin also contains
100000 acres of the highest grade
bituminous coal land, having an cs-
timated tonnage of $50 billion tons OF
coal.-representing the largest un-
developed coal field in the United
States. The basin is noted for its ex-
cellcnt agricultural and horticulture
products. Alfalfa, potatoes, wheat
oats and corn bring bumper returns.
San Juan basin fruits excell those
of any southwestern district.
BY providing marketing facilities
for the product of the basin thru thu
construction of the San Juan railroad,
1t is expected that land values will
increase from 1909 to in some in
stances as much as 5000. With
present population of less than $4,000
people. 1t is expected that this section
will rapidly grow TO a prosperous
population OF at least 100000 people
within a short period of time. because
there are sufficient resources here to
easily keep in prosperity that num-
Der of people.
With the advent of the southern
railway outlet, and the probable

Barley may be Il pretty good inven-
ion.
Good time now TO give 1t a demon
stration and let it show what it can
do.
Especially on the high lands. We are
all interested from several different
motives in the surprising progress OF
agriculture to higher attitudes in
Colorado. and therefore are pleased
with any extension of the list OF
plants and trees that can be grown in
the rich but cold soils up toward tim
Der line. This list is much larger than
Is commonly supposed down here. II
comprises most of the garden vege-
tables except tomatoes and melons,
and most of the grains except corn.
The finest wheat can be grown TO per-
fection at 5000 feet, oats and rye and
barley do better in the upper valleys
than down on the hot plains.
EXCELLENT FOOD PLANT.
With wheat, best of all the food
grains. rather low down on the mar
ket list at present, 1t would seem idle
to try to work up an increased popu-
larity for barley. but we can at least
direct momentary attention to it as a
more valuable plant than has been
commonly regarded. Besides this.
wheat is not going 10 stay down very
long.
Barley is a hardy. easily grown
plant-thc more easily grown up there
because of the exemption from rank
pest OF weeds enjoyed by the noun
taih farmers.
In the east barley has been looked
upon as useful mostly Tor the making
OF beer. while here in the west 1t has
been regarded as the ideal grain for
hogs
Bald or hur-less barley has been the
popular variety in this region. An at

What happens to the barley the
brewers used TO buy?
What was the fate OF one of the
most important crops of the United
States. formerly used as a foundation
in the manufacture of malt liquors,
the special market for which was,
theoretically at least, destroyed bv tho
late passage of the Volstead act de-
scribinG beer as an intoxicating liquor
prescribed under the eighteenth
amendment?
An investigation made here by the
Wisconsin Agriculturist shows that
there has been practically no reduction
In the acreage of barley planted since
prohibition was adopted. The crop in
the United states this year was shown
to be 16. 900, 600 bushels, compared with
Iii 900, 900 bushels the year before and
a five year average of 2os, ,O00, 900 the
reduction not being due to any cutting
down of acreage but to an unanticipat-
ed crop failure. The Agriculturist re-
ports that the new market for TINS
grain is contribution to the farmer
by the agricultural schools OF the mid
west.
Anticipating that the stoppage of the
manufacture of malt liquors would to a
great extent do away with the barley
market, the agricultural colleges OF
Illinois. Indiana, Iowa and Wisconsin
began a series OF tests to determine
the feed value of the grain. These
tests which have been continued in
combination for three. years have
demonstrated that barley is ultra valu-
able as a stock feed; that it contains
more protein than corn and more
carbohydrates than oats, lacking only
slightly in fat content
In feed value. the experiments have
shown that an acre i'll Illinois VIII pro-
duce 339 pounds more actual digestiblc
feed II planted to barley than II plant
cd to oats. In Indiana the barley pro-
duces 299 pounds moro feed than oats,
in Iowa 2i6 and in Wisconsin 2S6. ac-
cording to the report.
An experiment conducted by ]. @.
Fuller. beef cattle expert OF the Wis
consin College of Agriculture on 20
head OF Chicago steers returns a YER
dict for barley over corn. The steers
were divided into two lots and fed an
Identical ration except that In the case
of ten OF them crushed barley was sub
stituted for cracked corn. With the
disposing of the steers in the fall, IL
was found that those fed on barley
had gained their flesh Mt a cost of
2+oi per hundred pounds and those fed
on corn S2I.A cents per hundred.

The Elk Glen ranch. comprising GIL
acres of grazing land and located on
Purdy mesa. 23 miles southeast of
Grand Junction. has been purchased
by ID. b. Wright for sum OF $4,000
from ]. c. Slater, of Peacock, Kansas.
The purchase of this. ranch. which
sold seven years ago for S50.0 900. has
been made by Mr.. Wright as an invest
mcnt. His decision to acquire tho vast
acreage was made after having leased
the ranch from Slater for a period OF
five years.
1t is the plan of thc.new owner TO
stock the place with cattle as fast as
the range will permit until a total of
500 head are acquired.
