SHIPPING HAY INTO MONTROSR
INSTEAD OF SENDING 1T OUT

Nor trose Press
A peculiar situation exists in the
valley. Instead Of shipping out hay
We are shipping IN hay.
All the hay in the valley has been
cleaned up. There is no hay. Farm
ers are cutting new hay in order to
have any TO feed
The Valley Fuel and Feed company
recently shipped in two cars Of timo-
thy aud native hay from Gunnison to
supply the local demand They have
als5 had hauled in by truck 10 tons
from Delta; from Cedaredge, Is tons
and from Cedar mesa in Delta coun-
~, IS miles away, 25 tons.
In the fall Of 1919 and the spring
Of 1920, this same company shipped
20 cars Of hay out of the valley. Some
went to Salt Lake City and the rest
east and south, some going to Louis
iara. Texas and one car to Memphis,
Tenn. Hay was worth money, going
as high as S3S ton in Kansas City.
The freight rate on hay was such
then that it could be shipped out. Il
cannot now, with the prevailing prices
of hay.
With the freight rate embargo on
hay and the low price of the last year
or two, farmers have plowed up their
alfalfa and according TO Mr.. Gilchrist,
who is very conyersant with the hay
situation, it will be two or three yeas0
before we get back TO a normal hay
production.
Hay is not an especially profitable
crop 10 be grown under irrigation
when it has to be sold. II fed to
stock and then marketed, il pays, but
not so when it has to be sold for lit
tie money.
As stated before, it is an unusual
situation in Montrose to be shipping
in hay rather than shipping it out.
Very little hay has been shipped out
in the past two years.

CAN'T DRIVE SHEEP
ON THE COUNTY ROADS

Rico ltem:-
At the last meeting of the county
commissioners it was decided that no
sheep or cattle would be allowed to
come over the highway when being
driven to and from the summer range.
Last year the roads were kept in bad
condition for several months, due to
the fact that the sheep did not come
all at once, altho efforts were made
to keep the roads passable during
that time. 1t has been q great ex-
pense to clean the roads every wear
after the stock had come thru, and
no money has been forthcoming from
the stockmen for cleaning the roads
as was promised. therefore the new
ruling.

tions in Creede at present look more

THIRTY-EIGHT DAYS
WITHOUT A RAIN STORM

Grand Junction Sentinel of Saturday
Today is the 3sth day since there
has been a rain over the Grand Val
ley. This is the longest dry spell on
record for this period Of the year. In
any other but an irrigated district,
this would have been fatal to crops
Here, with ample water for irrigation
no damage has been done to growing
crops as result of the drouth, ex.
cept in a few intances where young
alfalfa has been injured.
While crops are not hurt, a rain
is badly needed to clear the dust out
of the atmosphere and to settle the
dust on the highways. II would also
prove beneficial to all vegetation by
washing off the months accumulation
of dust.

WANT SENTIMENT OF THE
FARMERS On TAX REVISION
Colo. State Farm Bureau,
Fl Collins, June 20, 1922

Fl Collins, June 20, lS22.
IL Is proposed BY the Executive
Committee Of the Tax Revision Com
mittee OF One Hundred that a consti-
tutional amendment be Initiated TO
permit exemption from taxation Of
al intangible property and sgbstItui-
ing therefor = personal income tax
law,
Many years of experience in every
state has demonstrated that success
full taxation Of intangibles Is not
feasible, also that an income tax
is the only practical and efficient
means Of reducing taxes on iutangl-
ble property and equalizIng the bur
den Of taxation on all kinds Of prop
erty.
The committee also has under con-
sideraiion, the following recommon-
iations:
l In the interest of Economy:
That We favor the use Of revenue
from automobile licenses and taxes
IN payment Of interest and the
creating of a sinking fund TO take
care Of the highway bonds.
That we request the state schools
TO voluntarily accept a smaller portion
Of the mill levy which was voted for
state institutions.
Ask that our state schools refrain
for the present at least, from erecting
buildings that do not add to the teach
ing capacity Of the schools.
2. Legislative Action:
That the mining industry be re-
quired to pay its just share of the
taxes We favor the repeal of the
teachers minimum salary law. That
in the assessment of agricultural
lands, the factor Of income earning
power be given the same weight in de-
termination of values. That we fav-
or the curtailment of the arbitrary
powers of the Tax Commission and Q
change in tine tenure Of office. (Cur-
tailment of power to supercede coun-
ty assessors.) (Also the power TO
order horizontal raises in value in
counties.

LEGUMES FOR ROTATION ON
SOUTHERN COLORADO LANDS

Agricultural College News-Notes:-
We do not know as yet what are
the best annual and biennial legumes
for Southeastern Colorado dry lands.
We know that there is nothing better
than alfalfa for irrigated lands. AL
falfa is successful practically every
where on the irrigated lands unless
the land is troubled with seepage,
Sweet clover will grow everywhere on
the irrigated lands. These two crops
constitute the best suggestions for
land renovation and for rotation of
crops in that section where legumes
are desired. Red Clover also does
well practically anywhere in the Ar
kansas valley region.
On dry land the selection of the
! legumes is not such an easy matter.
Sweet clover will do something. In
many PAGES alfalfa will do fairy we
/ if the seedbed is prepared in advance,
which shall include preparation suf-
/ ficiently long prior to planting to en-
able the soil to be properly supplied
with moisture to start the crop off.
Alfalfa should be planted thinly but
evenly under dry land conditions.
One pound of good seed per acre is
ample measure. The Grimms and
| Baltic varities are best.
| The annual white weet clover will
grow under dry land conditions, so
also will the biennial sweet clovers.
Field peas constitute possibility in
many sections. The trouble with so
many failures has been improper pre-
paration of the seedbed, improper
planting and quite frequently too
heavy seeding. The dry land re-
quires uniform, thin, evenly spaced
stand.

Lake City Silver World:-One of
the greatest misfortune in mining is
that so many men engaged in the
business will persist in deceiving
themselves. They are determined that
the ore carries higher values than il
contains. They permit fictions Of
their fancy to obscure their practical
vision. They seem to forget that II
is not what they want ore to run but
what ore really will run that counts.
The result is that there is dissatisfac-
ton, disappointment and failure
where there is no reason for such an
ending. 1t is one of the causes that
have operated to the disadvantage Of
the mining industry.

HEALTH BULLETIN
CITY OF ELY
by OWEN W. PARKER. MD,
Health Commissioner

The following is The second divi-
sion of the article published by the
University Of Minnesota, College of
Agriculture, Extension Division,
written by William a. Riley, en-
titled: "HOW TO FIGHT THE
DANGEROUS HOUSE FLY"
Two Methods of Attack Are Open.
Methods of combating the house
fly may be roughly divided into
those directed toward determination
of the pest, primarily through pre-
vention of breeding, and those serv-
ing as protection against the fly.
There is no doubt that the log
ical and The most important method
is that of preventing breeding, and
to do so to practical degree is
perfectly feasible. Nevertheless, it
demands zeal and organized COM
munity effort of persistent nature
that is not always readily secured.
In the meantime, individual effort
must be exercised, and much effect
i've protection can be secured in
this way. For this reason this
phase will be considered first.
Cleanliness First Necessity.
However much the neighbors may
continue to breed flies for the COM
munity, this does not render USE
less the keeping of ones own pre-
misses free from such nuisances nor
does it excuse neglect.
Premises which are free from
garba age accumulations, manure
piles, heaps of decaying vegetation,
slop pools in the back yard-in
short, premises which are kept in
decent and sanitary condition are
not first choice of the fiith-loving
fly. Neither. do they contribute
their quota 90 the general plague.
Privies should be carefully
screened, both to prevent flies
breeding in them, and to prevent
spread of infection by flies attract
ed to them. The open privy is one
.of the most serious and constant
menaces to health in rural commun-
tiles. Wherever possible it should
be replaced by a septic tank.
Screens, Too, Are Indispensable.
Properly screened doors and win
dows are indispensable aids to COM
fort and to protection from disease
carrying flies and mosauitoes
Screens should be tight-fitting and
kept in good repair, and doors
should be effectively self-closing.
