Example to Law Infringers

Cases OF this nature are of course
constantly coming up" remarked Sec
rctary Baker on his return from
Springfield" The board Was especial.
ly desirous of having justice done ir
this particular estray case in order
to impress offenders thruout the stats
with the advisability of obeying the
law in regard TO the reporting of es,
trays.
THE case Of Mr.. Alfrey was vigor.
ously defended, his claim being tina;
he had written the board letter on
August 7th. This letter was never
received. The later notice from Mr..
Alfrey came more than a month after
the animal was taken up. Evidence
was introduced TO show that the ami
NAL had been worked by the defend
ant and that it had been driven until
II was in rather poor condition.
"All cattlemen should recognize the
fact that the law demands reports OF
all estrays taken up within five days
after such action. Advertisement is
promptly made by the Board of Live
Stock Inspection commissioners, and
in case the owner is not found, the
animal is sold and the money kept fol
three years. II the owner cannot
then be found, the money reverts TO

BETTER PASTURE CAMPAIGN
HELD BY "AG" COLLEG
Many to Put in Fine Grass Mixture
In Irrigated Districts; Carries More
Live Stock

Ranchmen Of Gunuison county Will
be interested in the announcement
that the Colorado Agricultural college
at Fort Collins, in cooperation with
the state dairy commission, has re-
Gently completed very successful
permanent Irrigated pasture campaign
In several sections of Colorado.
After l2 years of experimental
work at the College, authorities are
recommending a pasture grass mix
ture that viii carry more live stock
per acre under Colorado conditions
than any other known. This mixtu re
known as Morton's pasture grass mix
ture, is as follows: (Seed per acre,
Bronze grass, Is pounds; orchard
grass. 10; meadow fescue, told Eng
glish blue grass), 10; timothy, s; yell
low sweet clover, 4.
This mixture is giving most salts
factory results thruout the state,
even on high priced land, according
TO Mr.. Jay. Figures show that on
$500 an acre land one can keep
two cows, which means a $3.50 invest
ment per COW. Fifteen dollars an acre
foothill ground requires 10 acres or
more COW, which also means an in
vestment of at least $3.50.
Among the many advantages of
the mixture" said Mr.. Jay, ''is that
of having the pasture close TO the
barn where personal care can be Civ
en- the animals every day. There is
also decided decrease in the loss as
compared to the foothill pasture
where the cows may stray miles
away and losses cannot be prevented,
or in some instances even determined.
Many losses are caused by poison
weed on the native pastures.
Approximately 1000 acres Of Colo
RADIO land will be devoted to Morton's
pasture mixture as a result of the re-
cent campaign
The pasture is particularly recon-
mended for dairy cows as beef ami
mails do not make as hard gains on it
as they do on the native grasses.
Petkus rye and sweet clover are
recommended and are proving their
worth as temporary pastures on all
irrigated lands. Reports from vari-
Gus parts of the state show that rye
pasture will carry one head of stock
on two acres and in some cases one
head per acre. On the average about
10 acres of native pasture is required
TO carry one head.
The rye is put in in May and the
pasture is ready in six weeks. The
field is kept pastured thru the fall
and the following spring when the
owner may let it make crop or pillow
1t under for green manure.

MAY RANK
SECOND IN PRODUCTION
OF HEAD LETTUCE
Pueblo Ch5eftau. .

Pueblo lEzeftan.-
With = favorable season thru har-
sest time, Colorado should take sec
rrd rank among the states this year
.n the production Of head lettuce. be-
INK surpassed only by California In
1919. according 20 the reports of the
United States census bureau, Colora-
30 raGkcd 18th in acreage devoted 70
This crop.
The surprisingly rapid advancement
iu lettuce production here Is due 10
the development Of new industry in
Colorado. the growing Of head let
tuce at high attitudes The industry
was born in Chaffee county in 1920,
ard it was discovered that an excel
lent quality of head lettuce could be
produced TO go TO market AZ a time
when almost no lettuce was being
shipped. The demand for the pro-
duct vas excellent and the industry
developed in 1920 in a number of
other mountain counties
Partial reports from the county
assessors to the State Immigration
department indicate that at least
6OOO acres are being devoted TO let
tuce this year, chiefly at attitudes
above $500 feet This compares with
232 acres eported by the census bu.
reau for 1919 and / ,S53 acres report
ed to the Immigration Department in
1921. Among the mountain counties
reporting lettuce this year are, Gust
er, Eagle, Gunnison, Lake, Mineral
Pitkin, Teller, Routt, Summit and
Grand. while late head lettuce is be-
ing grown in the higher altitude in
Conjos, Costilla, Rio Grande, Ere
mont, Saguache, Pueblo, Huerfano
and some other counties,
California may lead all states in
the production Of lettuce for market
for many years, but the leadership in
that respect Is seriously threatened by
the development Of the late lettuce in
dustry in Colorado. In 1919 the
census bureau reported 6,l2l acres
harvested in California. New York
ranked second that year, with 1892
acres
California lettuce comes into the
market in the late winter and early
spring, while that from New York
comes in the spring or as leaf lettuce,
which does not offer serious competi-
ton to the high quality of head let
tuce grown in Colorado. Several
western states are growing late head
lettuce this year, but Colorado will
lead them all in acreage devoted TO
the crop.
The growing and marketing Of head
ettuce requires great care and con-
siderable skill. Production in 1921
was not satisfactory, due partly to
lack of experience among the grow
ers and partly TO an unfavorable seas
on. Under favorable conditions a
carload of lettuce should be marketed
from each acre, but the production in
1921 fell far short of the average.
Gunnison news-champion., 1922-06-23
MAKING LETTUCE CRATES

Steamboat Springs Pilot
With the growth of the head lettuce
industry in Northwestern Colorado, il
become necessary TO provide crates
running into the hundreds of thous-
ands. 1t is gratifying TO know that
these crates are being manufactured
at home. The Yampa Valley Gratis
factory has been organized and Is
getting under way at Yampa. l. G.
Shorter is in charge and Frank
Muench, of Steamboat Springs, also
has taken an important place in the
organization. He visited Yampa re.
Gently to get things going. The new
place is SO arranged that they can
make 5000 to 1000 crates n day, and
by running double shifts this output
can be doubled. II the business just.
ifies it, additional machinery will be
added later 1t is now estimated that
it will take from 100000 to SOC, ,0OC
crates for the Moffat line business
