ACREAGE LACKING TO GUAR
ANTEE RUNNING OF FACTORY

Compilation of beet acreage secured
up to last evening was under $500
acres in Montrose and Delta counties.
sugar factory officials said.
Work of soliciting is still in progress
and field men will accept beet con-
tracts for about 30 days. Whether
the acreage to guarantee the running
of this factory can be secured is still
questioned. Many farmers, field men
for the company say, have changed to
some beets who at first could not be
interested in the growing Of sugar
beets. The immense acreage going
into onions and potatoes is probably
the reason for some of the growers
changing their minds to a partial
acreage of beets.
1t is understood acreage in Delta
county is ahead of any county on the
Western Slope. while the farmers in
upper Uncompahgre valley and the
North Fork valley have not signed up
as strong as last year.
Delta farmers are still hopeful OF
securing the required acreage in this
district. Reports which have been
published relative to acreage in the
Grand valley indicate acreage in that
section some 1000 acres behind con-
tracts signed in this district.

Fire Boys Protest.

The members of Delta's volunteer
fire department are voicing protest
against the blowing of the siren whis-
tie signalling the hour for turning of
water from lawns. They declare that
inasmuch as there is no blast to in
dicate the starting time, the same
manner of stopping might be employ,
viz, the alarm clock. They cite as
the most important reason that there
is no set rule by which a fire breaks
out, and if it happens, as it has time
or two. that a genuine fire alarm
were turned in just at 500 O'Clock in
the morning or evening, it would be
misleading Perhaps there is reason
to this argument.

BEST PACKAGES FOR CHEESE
Boxes Are Subjected to Rough Treat
ment in Handling and Should,
Be Good and Strong.

Certain characteristics Of American
cheese, most valuable for export pur-
poses, In addition to good flavor, in
elude firm, close-bOdied texture, clean
and sound rind, and strong, well-made
packages. The favored export style
Is the large sO-called "cheddar,"
weighing from 60 to 80 pounds, al
though Of later years good many
"twins" have been exported. Twins"
weigh about 35 pounds each, and are
packed two in box.
The matter of the package is very
important, as the boxes are subjected
to rough handling In loading and un-
loading. The most satisfactory boxes
are sufficiently large for the entire
cheese, for with cheese higher than
the box, the pressure Of other boxes
piled on top destroys the shape Of
the cheese and Injuries the rind.
1t is common in the United States
to paraffsn most Of the cheese market
ed a week or ten days after the cheese
Is made, which permits free moisture
to escape and allows for the usual
shrinkage. During the spring, sum-
ner, and autumn, the use of refriger-
ator cars, where a temperature of 35
degrees to 40 degrees f. may be main
tained, is important in shipping. II
has been found as a result of expert
ments conducted by the United States

FARM
LIVE STOCK
SHEEP INDUSTRY PROFITABLE
Necessary to Well-Balanced Agricul-
ture and Pays Well II Herds
Are Handled Right.

In this country the sheep industry
has had frequent ups and downs, and
recently 1t has been very much de-
pressed, but 1t is an industry necessary
to well-balanced agriculture and
usually 1t pays fairly good returns
when fiocks are properly handled. Wool
is a staple commodity and mutton Is
a regular part of our diet, though 1t is
muth less used than beef or pork. Con-
ditiOns In many parts of the United
States are excellent for sheep raising
and there can be little doubt that with
in relatively short time the sheep will
be more profitable than during the past
year.
Present conditions of depression are
abnormal, just as the period of un-
usual prosperity was abnormal. There
Is surplus Of wool on hand in the
country now, but it is being used up
faster than it Is being replaced by pro-
duction on American farms. Even now
mutton and lamb are in sufficient de-
mand so that, in connection with wool,
sheep raising is a good business. In
the farming areas more attention is
paid to mutton making; the range
men have given more attention to wool.
but now depend more on the returns
for lamb and mutton than they have
in the past.
