DIR. J. D. Walker returned Tuesda,
evening from an extensive trip to
Grand Junction and other points in
Mesa county, where he went to look
into some business matters in connec-
ton with the Liberty Land Co., a
Colorado corporation that is promoting
an irrigation project in Mesa county.
This company proposes to irrigate
some eight or ten thousand acres Of
land, situated on Hannah Creek, in
that county. The land can be obtain
ed from the government in the usual
desert claim, or pre-
emption, and water purchased from
the company at the price of $50 pei
acre. Several Gunnison parties plan
on looking over this proposition.

Jack rabbit campaigns, conducted in
four states by the Biological Survey,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, have been particularly effective
during the past year. In Idaho, Ore
gon, Washington and Texas, great
numbers of jack rabbits were destroy
ed by traps and poison. These pests
were unusually destructive to alfalfa,
cotton, hay, muskmelons, lettuce and
other crops In ten counties of Idaho
32.235 pounds of bait treated with
2,l59 ounces of strychnine was used
on 312 $50 acres Of land. BY poison
ing and by drives, $4,000 jack rabbits
were destroyed, by actual count. In
six counties in Washington, Isl, 500
were reported killed. and IN four eoun-
ties in Oregon it is estimated that
$50, 600 were destroyed. In three
counties Of Texas, $1,000 jack rabbits
were accounted for.

The above figures are for an cxper-
fenced man, well qualified for county
extension agent work
Men with less desirable qualitica-
tons might be obtained for three hun
dred dollars less.
The Colorado Agricultural College
and the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture furnish supervision of the work
and assistance of specialists, together
with expert assistance in organiza-
ton and along special lines.
Selection of the man for county ex-
tension position will be made thru
recommendations Of the Colorado Ex-
tension Service, by the Board of Coun-
ty Commissioners and interested per-
sons in your county. Two or more
applicants will be presented personally
If possible, and thru references and
photographs, if personal presentation
is impossible. Extension Service will
present their opinion of the men and
leave selection to parties heretofore
mentioned, after which appointment
will be made"
Twenty-three counties of the state
have county agents and it is only q
question of time before every county
in Colorado recognizes that the pros
perity of the county along agricultural
and live stock lines depends largely on
the organization of the county by q
competent county extension agent
Large industrial organizations the
world over have long ago recognized
that their success depends on thoro
organization and the pooling of their
resources When farmers and ranch
men adopt the business principles so
long employed in the business world
there will be less of the poverty cry
80 common today.

ARE NO CYCLES

My advice is to get it out of
your head immediately that business
l.uctuates in three.year periods OF
any other fixed intervals. The rea.
principle of the business movemen.
is that Of action and reaction.
Namely, a period Of over.expansion
lends to be followed by an equiva-
ent period Of depression. And when
say equivalent am ,aking mo
account the two factors, duration
and intensity. Mode ate D-s.no .
aet ity prolonged fgr s.N era. j.
) Equivalent to t.em. &C .Y.y
.-ol ,er ia III.
ITO take the la.est e. amp..,
there was period of over-expansion
covering the years l9l5.l9l9. This
would tend to be balanced by COM
pensating period Of depression. But
this compensation might take vari.
ETY. Of forms. If there had been a
prodigious and excessive crash in
1920, lasting only a year, this would
nave been sufficient compensation.
t would have offset four years of
over-expansion. Or, if the decline
in 1920 had been trifling but drag
ged out for years to come, this also
would be sufficient compensation.
What actually happened was a. sharp
decline, not the worst Imaginable,
but still q severe drop. The period
las already extended more than two
years. Considering both the sever.
ity Of the drop and the time that has
elapsed, it is plain that We have
nearly paid the bill in full.

RxTREn6E GETS EXTREME

"Will our next period Of prospe
ity be big or small! The question $
peculiarly difficult. After a big
period Of over-expansion, a big ac.
on, it is practically certain that
ere will be q big period of depre
on, big reaction. Knowing the
ection, you can forecast the reaction
bat the rule is hard to work both
Ways. To illustrate, if yon stre,ch .
spring a certain amount you can fo e.
east approximately what viii be The
rebound. But you can't so easily
foretell how far the spring will be
stretched the next time. Hence,
periods Of prosperity or action are
Far more difficult to forecast than
periods Of depression or reaction.
However, we know that there Is
q general tendency toward equality.
In other words, in the long run,
periods Of prosperity tend to be
about equal. They vary greatly in
duration, and they vary greatly in
intensity. But the intense periods
are usually short, and the mild per
iods are usually long, so that the
area or mass is remarkably constant.
Though the form Of the next period
of prosperity 10 still undetermined,
we know in advance with reasonable
assurance that Its area or mass will
be approximately that Of previous
periods. Shortly after it has begun
to develop, there may be clue to its
probable form, whether intense and
brief, or moderate and prolonged.

SAY CONGRESS- WILL AID
COLUMBIA RIVER PROJECT

Spokane, Wash.-Workers for the
Columbia basin irrigation project
were given encouragement by the
congressional party which stopped
here for four hours, Tuesday, on their
way east. The party, including
twenty senators, representatives and
war department officials, had been
studying army post and territorial
questions and has recently returned
from Alaska.
After a luncheon given the party
by the Columbia basin irrigation
league, Senator Robinson of Arkansas,
said, C there is not the slightest doubt
the project will be presented to con-
gress and initial funds will be pro-
vided." Senator Warren of Wyom-
ing, expressed similar opinion and
added that all members OF the party
were interested in the Columbia basin
project. Senator Warren is chairman
of the senate appropriations commit
tee and of the senate reclamation and
irrigation committee.
Abandonment of many of the coun-
try's 200 army posts should be ex-
pected soon. Senator Warren said, al
though he could not say which ones
are endangered. Reduction in arms
forces and appropriations is given as
the reason for abandoning the posts.
