FORMULA FOB
MILK OF GOOD QUALITY

"Feed, weed and breed' ls the
dairyman' magis formula for good
milk, according to M. H. Keeney, dairy
specialist for the New Jersey State
Agricultural college, in statement
stressing the present market demand
for cheaper milk.
1.-THE market will not pay big
price for milk, - writes Mr.. Keeney,
$50 we dairymen must cut our prodmc-
tion costs. The two factors controlling
the economical production of milk are
the adaptability of the cow fos giving
milk, judged by her confirmation, and
by the milk scales and the Babcock
test, and the amount and kind Of food
taken. The feed bill is the largest di-
rect expense, and the dairyman 's high
road to success lies in producing
unit of clean, wholesome milk for the
least possible cost.
"The first essential for good milk is
good COWS, the other is proper feed and
care-it may be summarized briefly in
three wolds, feed, weed and breed.
Silage and alfalfa hay are the best for
cheap milk, and they are the best and
cheapest roughage feeds. Every dairy
man should have them and should fol-
low these directions:
''Feed all the roughage COW will
clean up. Part of it should be a
legume, such as clover or alfalfa.
"Keep a balanced ration.
"Give sufficient feed, such as silage
or roots.
"Feed grain in accordance with milk
production-for Holstein or Ayrshire,
approximately one pound of grain for
each three pounds of milk. A variety
of grains in the mixture is desirable.
'tFeed and milk regularly.
"Give plenty of fresh water at all
times.
"Give access to salt daily.
"Buy grain feeds on the basis of
their protein and energy, not simply by
the hundre redweight

COAL LANDS OPEN
TO PREEMPTIoN

Department of the Interior. United
States Land Office, Glenwood Springs,
Colo ado, December s, 1923.
The Publisher, The Glenwood Post,
Glenwood Springs, Colorado.
My dear Editor:
Under decision of July 81, 1923,
handed down by the secretary Of the
interior and received in the local land
office December 8, 1923, coal lands
may now be preempted within the pre-
emptfon areas, which in this land dis
trict includes all the lands that for
merly were in the old Ute Indian res
ervation. 1t therefore applies to all
the Glenwood Springs land district ex
cept Routt and Moffat counties, tho
greater part Of Eagle county and the
eastern part of Pitkin county. The
reservation also extended outside Of
this distsict, covering parts of western
and southwestern Colorado.
When the act Of June 90, 1910, was
passed allowing surface entries of coal
lands for agricultural purposes, the act
specifically mentioned the various
kinds of agricultural entries, but, prob
ably through inadvertance, omitted
preemption ent'fes. Therefore, after
the passage of the act, no preemption
entries were allowed on lands that had
been classified as coal land.
The now ruling holds that it was
the evident intention of congress to
include all classes of agricultural en-
tries in the act of June %, 1910, and
as consequence land offices are now
authorized to allow preemption entries
on coal lands, provided they are made
with reservation of the coal to the
United States.

Altho the regular weekly chapel

thru the auditorium and stopping in

was followed by the presentation of
the play Happiness, by the Misses
Blanche Bennett and Leotta Gertch
under the direction of Mrs. D. P.

contained a serious undercurrent, it
drew many laughs from the audience
and the girls are to be commended
for their Interpretation of the
characters. Miss Hester Thompson
then gave reading, which was fol-

MEMORIAL COMMISSION FORMED

At the meeting held at the court
house on Friday, Jan. 10, memorial
commission was formed, consisting
of County Commissioners w. T.
England, Nels Miller and John r..
Williams; Dan P. Brill, commander
of Stewart Hoover Post No. %;
Frank Dovark, commander of Aber-
deem Post No. SO and J. F. Utter,
representing Commander Edell of
Shelley Post, American Legion. The
name of the commission is Bling
ham County Memorial Commission"
It's purpose is to build a memorial to
the deceased soldiers, sailors and
marines, who lost their lives during
the world war. The officers of the
commission are w. T. England,
chairman and Dan P Brill, secretary.
The Idaho state laws provide that
any county or organization therein,
is entitled to $1,000 from the state to
be used for memorial purposes, pro-
viding that the county or organiza
ton puts up a like amount. Some
time ago, at the request of a COM
mittee consisting of representatives
from the various civic bodies of
Blackfoot, the county commissioners
agreed to appropriate the money re-
quired and shortly after that let
ter was sent to the state auditors
asking for the state allowance. The
state auditor answered that before
the money could be had, it would be
necessary that a commission be
formed, location be selected with
a clear title to the same and that |
plans and specifications for the build
ing be sent in.
AS stated above, the commission
has been formed, the plans and
specifications are being prepared,
but as yet the location has not been
selected. 1t will be necessary to
have the location decided to the COM
mission and our claim filed before
March Is, as the money which the
state has appropriated for this pur-
pose will be turned back to the state
treasurer at that time, unless all re-
luirements are met and claim filed
prior to that date.

LAST SOLDIERS RETURN

SAVANNAH Ga.-The last of the
American overseas troops, thou
sand men, landed on American soil
here recently, after service of five
years abroad.
Many of the men who have been
stationed along the Rhine all of that
time had some reluctance to return
ing home, particularly those who
have contracted alliances abroad,
and then, too, the American dollar
goes long way in Germany now
with marks selling at $4,000 for an
American dollar in exchange, but
when the men sighted the American
shore and received the genuine good
old southern American welcome all
doubts vanished from their minds.
Accompanying the men were some
fifty war brides, German, Belgian
and French women, and quite a few
"hyphenated" Americans born
abroad. These to-be-adopted daugh-
tiers of Uncle Sam looked forward to
the landing in America with a great
deal of interest and all have deter
mined to become regular 100 per

JAIL SENTENCES UNPOPULAR

There seems to be moral
awakening thruout the land, sense
of the realization that whether we
like it or not the eighteenth amend
ment Is fixture in our constitution
and as such must be respected
Jail sentences for the violation of
that part of the constitution are be-
coming both popular and unpopular.
Popular with the courts and the
people who wish to uphold and re-
spect the law, and unpopular with
those who violate the law.
There is a decided change in the
sentiment of the courts of the land
and long jail sentences coupled with
heavy fines are being handed out
which will do more to do away with
the liquor traffic, sale and manu-
facture than any other one thing can
do. The feeling on the part of the
people generally. is that jail sent
ences will prove so unpopular with
the Offenders of the law that liquor
running, mOonshining and bootleg
ging will become so hazardous that
the business will be broken up in
spite of the supposed big profits that
are attached to it.
Making light of the liquor law is
no longer regarded as an open sea-
son joke and the proper enforcement
of the law is meeting with more and
more datiOn.-Times-Re

orchestra furnished the music and j.
H. Andersen, P. G. Johnston, w. H.
Cleare and others spoke.
Judge Andersen spoke on Lincoln
and his work. Mr.. Johnston talked
on the Importance of local farmers
and townsmen getting behind the
sugar beet crop this year and max
ing such tonnage that it will en-
ploy the Blackfot factory ninety or
a hundred days, and then arrange to
have the sugar company grind them
here instead of shipping them out Of
the country.
Mr.. Cleare, of Pocatello, talked on
citizenship; mans duty to state
and nation and the world at large.
He spoke of the logrolling in legis-
lative work. the wasted appropria-
tions resulting from some commun-
ity having a pet enterprise and send
ing men to the capital to trade and
swap and sacrifice until they got
what they went for, regardless of the
waste. They keep in mind the
temporary local advantage they seek,
and forget the general sacrifice and
the rebound that follows. The
county that seeks state aid puts up
its money generously because it is
going to be matched by state money;
the state puts up money for some en-
terprise because it is going to be
matched by federal money, and by
the time all counties get their aid |
and put up their share for all the
others, it costs them as much as to
have gone out and put it on with
heir own local money. In the joint
Undertakings they indulge in luxury
'ather than combining themselves to
necessities.
