PIONEERS MEET AND Or
CAME IN DELTA COUNTY

II will perhaps be Of interest to Gun
uison pioneers to know that the old
timers Of Delta County met in Delta
last Sunday afternoon and organize
into a county society. Twenty-three
pioneers arriving in the Delta vicinity
as early as 1881 were present and Sc
iccted officers for the society.
Matters were discussed pertaininC
70 oId-time days Of 1888 and prior
thereto. Stories were told upon each
other and in general the boys" put
in a very profitable afternoon.
Perhaps the pioneers Of Gunnison
County would find such a get-to- get her
meeting interesting as well as educa-
tional for the younger people and the
later arrivals in the county. We feel
sure that the pioneers of our county
inciude many that could give intsrest-
ing facts about the occurrences of an
earlier date than does the Delta old
timers. We believe that such a gath
ering would be worth considering

STOCK SHOW is EDUCATION
IN THE BU USINESS

The Stock Show af Denver for 1928
is now history, 70 be remembered by
some 80 or 40 stockmen from the vicin
ity of Gunnison. TINS annual event is
the one great, stimulating and uplift-
ing exhibition of products of the'
chief industry of Colorado.
Ii is well agreed-upon fact among
stockmen that any money spent m
attending the stock show exhibitions of
we'll bred animals is vel spent, in fact,
it is a good investment that will yield
returns in the long run. The live
stock industry in Gunnison county is
in a process Of evolution that all alert
and progressive stockmen are well
aware of. Under the present private
ly-owned pastures and, the curtailingi
of National Forest ranges, 1t means
that the scrub must be eliminated
from the herds and registered top
animals used for breeding purposes
OF course, the Gunnison country Is
known over the state and on the prin-
cipal MARKETS as the choice beef-pror
ducing territory among cattlemen ard
buyers at the various markets. NkS-
ertheless, there is still room for i'm
provemeIt in many of our herds.
At the recent conference of the CSt-
tlemen's and Stockgrowers' Assoeia-
/ ton in Denver, steps We're taken TO
/ abolish the extra fee of five cents per
head for inspection of cattle at the
yards in Denver. This fee is charged
and placed in sinking fund, in ad-
dition to the regular inspection fee at
loading stations, which is collected by
the local inspector. 1t is contended
by the cattlemen that under present
depressed values on cattle, thus charge
is exorbitant and imposes an addition
al hardship on the industry, inasmuct
as no additional fees are placed or
sheep, the sheep market being in much
better condition than the cattle mar
ket at the present time.

RODENT CONTROL WORK Is
MILLING OFF CROP PESTS

" ED County = short time ago. He
was = believer in better roads but such
a. his impression Of the prAire dog
campaign nos under way in that
county.
The state Of Colorado has provided
= very effective law for the control of
pests. including insects, plant diseases,
and weeds. as well as rodent pests.
This act. which has been referred TO
the State En;0moiogist at the Agricul-
-urlI College for enforcement, pro-
EIGrs a means by which any commUni-
- can effectively organize for the con-
troll Of any Of these pests. The call
for rodent control districts has been
unusually heavy. At the present time
the State Entomologist has about 81.
million acres organized into these dis
.ucts FOR the prairie dog alone, be
sides many thousand acres for the con-
troll Of other rodents, grasshoppers, al
falfa weevil, oodhng moth, San Jose
scale and weeds. In the rodent pest
control campaign, vAuable assistance
is being received thru the cooperation
Of the U. S. Biological Survey, and
the Extension Division Of the Agricul-
tgral College
Over 81 tons of poisoned oats or the
ingredients for its preparation, were
distributed at cost during. 1922 thru the
Office of the State Entomologist, II
tons going to Weld county, Ga tons
TO Adams, 8 tons TO Arapahoe, and
smaller quantities going to other To-
calities- Something like ten tons have
been prepared for use on government
lands by the U. S. Biological Survey.
The counties named are carrying on
the most extensive and effective cam
paigns of any in the state and all are
working thru legally organized pest
districts, which call for the cooperation
Of the boards of county commissioners.

AS A WARNING

We read in the Delta Independent
that Michael Stocker of Ash Mesa had
an encounter with an infuriated bull
last Sunday, which barely allowed him
TO escape with his life.
Mr. Stocker was attempting to drive
four year old registered Hereford
bull into a barn, when the animal sud-
denly turned. and rushed upon him,
picking Mr.. Stocker up on his horns
and tossing him distance of about
ten feet He then made another
plunge and butted his victim against
the fence, breaking three ribs and
otherwise badly injuring him.
Much the same sort of thing has
happened to two of our Gunnison
ranchmen in recent years We believe
that attention to those facts should be
called in the news papers in the nature
of warning.
