THIS WEEKS NOTES ON THE FARM

The farm news Of this week con-
'sists of long string OF visible mega
tives. followed by an equal series of
feet: Not one of the long list of agri-
cultural products has made action
favorable to the producer. All are still
gravitating downward in price, or il
one or two show any Improvement,
such as lambs and wool. the gain is
butter have weakened. The farm pco-
pie are beset with anxietles and uncer-
tainties. Right ut the beginning OF the
year when their program ought to be
laid out for eleven months ahead in
all details, they know not what to de-
eide or which way to turn.
Wear EN- OUT was the firm and
unanswerable proposition three and a
half years ago when It was military
instead of an economic proposition
I'VE can not tell how long the enemy
can hold out but 1t Is only a question
OF time; he's got TO come to it, That
was the Irresistible logic OF the situa-
tion about November /, 1918. For
months the armies had faced each 9TH
cr across No Mans Land and bomb
still replied Co bomb and it seemed the
terrific dJel was never to end. But
1t did. on the 1lth day OF the month
at IL a. m. 1t was all over.
So it is now. The steadily declining
quantity OF this and that product must
bring a conclusion. il is only a dues-
ton OF time. Let us ask. which is
the preferable situation-to be up
against Il combat of blood and treasure
and life and human endurance and of
existence of nations, or "A mere calcu-
lation of how much beef the people
can cat before the supply runs low.
when we are actually wanting it to run
low?
In the matter of some articles tho
question is one of years In time. For
instance. horses are off side" as the
basketball players say. But the horse
and mule population is exactly and
absolutely known. We know that 1t is
number was eight years ago. and can
calculate what 1t will be eight years
in the future. and that it will show an
amazing reduction, while already there
is n return to horsepower on many
farms. Can there be any doubt as TO
what horses and mules Will then be
worth?
A long argument on the items of
poultry and of cream and butter could
be offered but 1t would not be read
the gist Of it talks for itself. We have
tllltduS slpWl Ailal II SLOW DuI utIlilIe
movement of poultry and hogs from
Colorado to California has set in. and
anyhow these and several other good
products will never go down to give
away figures. So let's decide to wear
'em OUT and fight it out on this line
If. 1t takes all summer.
During the past week eggs and but
ter sold in Denver at lower prices
than at any time since 1913.
As to the land, 1t shows no decline in
valuations. Plenty of owners want to
sell but they do not come down an
inch ON their prices per acre and they
usually want cold cash.
Reports from various sections of the
state show that many farmers and
stockmen are not taking advantage of
loans available through the War FL
nance Corporation. Several reasons
are given but anyhow it is pleasing to
see the firm resistance against the

temptation to go into debt. Stand firm I.
stick to It: hold the fort and wear 'em
out.
The Blueribbon Livestock Co. whose
ranch is just west OF the city. will
have an exhibit of Duroc-Jersey hogs
at the National Western Stock Show
to be held at Denver this week. There
are is breeding and ono fat hog in
the drove. Tho Pueblo pens have al
ways had u high rating at the pig
show.
Is tho horse coming back? There
is said to be a marked return to horse
drawn equipment on short hauls and
delivery work in the cities. Also there
is something of a return to horse i'm
plements on many farms that went cN-
tensively to motor equipment.
The annual corn show. held under
the auspices OF the Otero County Farm
Bureau was the largest ever held in
that part OF the state. County Agent
Sawhill of Pueblo county was the
judge and he paid high compliment
to tho growers for the excellent man

Eads Press says: Everett Moshcr
has been hauling corn TO the Infield
Elevator this week. He has been
bringing white corn, which he. says
produced seven bushels more to the
acre than the yellow. This is all right,
II there IS any reader who has had

noticeable differences IN quality,
habits, growth or other traits of vel

The cattle market in Denver Is
