Thoughts of One Who Plays

All my Wall Street friends have advised

are good bonds there must also be bad bonds
How do | know which is which? Several Of
them sent me lists, which read with interest
but the names left me cold. What LITTLE 7
have done on the stock market has been PLAYED
by ear and there was something inharmonious
in the literature I received. One firm STRONGLY
urged the purchase of Canada Steamship first

Idea OF first mortgage on sunlken steamship
did not appeal to me. "Pacifc Fruit" # was

Special to The Chieftain:
CANON CITY, Feb. 5.-The Poultry
school being conducted here last week
by poultry experts from the state ag-
ricultural college and elsewhere is
being largely attended and is of much
interest to the poultry growers in
Canon City who are rapidly building
up one of the most important local in
dustries. Prof. Paul C. Jamison poul
try specialist of Fort Collins who is
conducting the school is responsible for
the following interesting statements
concerning the poultry industry in
Colorado:
Poultry has long beer considered a
side line on farms in Colorado. The
poultry and eggs produced in Colorado
last year were worth s500.0 more than
the gold produced in the state. The
poultry produces consumed in the
state We're valued at s12,000.000 while
out entire corn crop was estimated at
only s11 100000. The poultry industry
in the United States was worth sl,2QD,-
600. 900 in 1920.
Poultry is called for in every
scheme of safe farming. Many farm
families are today living almost entire
ly on the income from their poultry.
During this period of depression the
price of eggs and other poultry pro-
ducts have stayed up very well. Today
the price OF these products is 40 per
cent OF the 19l0-1o14 average. There is
no indication that the poultry industry
is crowded. While Colorado last year
consumed t2.o00.o0O worth of poultry
products, we produced only $1,000, 900

MUSCLE SHOALS AND
CHEAP" FERTILIZER

According to a. bulletin from tina
National Fertilizer association. only a
small part of the farmers fertilizer bill
would be affected by the operation of
the Muscle Shoals nitrate plant. A
previous bulletin showed that accept
ance by tho government of Mr.. Ford's
offer to purchase the nitrate plant and
other government property at Muscle
Shoals and to lease the power plant.
would require in 100 years a subsidy
or $9S4,sS5,0O0 from the taxpayers TO
Mr. Ford
According to the bulletin. out of
every dollar spent by the farmer for
fertilizer, only four cents is spent for
sulphatc of ammonia. For other
necessary ingredients such as organic
ammoniates. nitric nitrogen. potash,
phosphoric acid and for mixing. bag
Sing. freight and other necessary costs,
the farmer spends nincty-six cents out
of every dollar spent for fertilizer.
Sulphate OF ammonia is the fertilizer
material which the government experts
have said is the only fertilizer in
Gredieut that can be made at Musclc
Shoals.
While there is some question as to
the extent to which Mr.. Ford proposes
to devote the Muscle Shoals plant to
the manufacture of fertilizer products.
II is obvious. according to the Ma
uonal Fertilizer association bulletin,
that even IL he were to devote tho
plant to its fun capacity to manu-
featuring the only material which gov
ernment experts say can be manu-
factured there, the benefit to the farm
er would be almost negligible.
obviously says the bulletin. mo
matter how chcaply tho Muscle shoals
plant could make sulphate OF ammonia.
1t could not greatly reduce the cost OF
commercial fertilizer"
