OF COURSE IT PAYS

If you tell some people that it
pays to trade at home, they will
question the accuracy of your state
ment or merely content themselves
with a careless perhaps" For
their benefit, here is one Of the
why's:
In modern days the prosperity Of
a community depends upon the
amount of money in circulation in
that community. If a man goes to
a nearby city to buy a suit Of
clothes the money he pays for the
suit is ALL taken out of town. Ii
is gone, and the town doesn't see it
again. But if he buys the suit from
home dealer the wholesale cost
only goes out of town. The mer-
chants profit and overhead expense
remains in the home town.
Figured on the basis of a single
suit for a single individual. it
amounts to nothing of Importance.
but if multiplied into hundreds and
thousands of suits, and other wear
ing apparel and shoes, and hard
ware. and millinery. and farm i'm
plements. and building supplies,
and all of the other articles that en-
ter into our daily life, it can readily
be seen that the two items of over.
head expense and profits, if all kept
at home by the patronizing of home
dealers. would mean an enormous
amount of money kept in circulation
in our own community. And you
would get part of that money.
It's worth thinking over, because
it pays to trade at home.

BIGGEST GAS GUSHER IN
The UNITED STATES!
Just Drilled in at the La Plata Section
in the San Juan Basin

With roar that was deafenipg
and could be heard for a distance
of ten miles, the Producers and Re-
6ners Oil Co., well No. One in the
La Plata field. IS miles little west
Of south of Durango and IS miles
north and west of Pennington, N.
NJ, came in last Monday morning
with gas flow of more than seventy
million feet per day.
1t is wet gas" and estimated
that it will run gallon Of oil to the
900 feet Of gas.
This we'll is about 600 feet south
of the Midwest gasser. 1t was drill
ed in by manager J. S. Raymond
and driller Brown, who brought in
the famous Big Bertha in Wyoming
and they say the La Plata we'll is
much larger than the Wyoming
| monster-and the latter was sem
sational producer.
The bit is down a,385 feet, and
had penetrated the oil sand to a
depth of only fifteen feet when the
gas gusher broke loose. carrying
the tools and a part Of the casing
straight up into the air, tearing out
the top of the derrick. I2o feet
above and falling back almost on a
direct line burying the tools several
feet in the ground. No one hurt.
The bringing in Of this gasser,
while not unexpected by the ex-
perts familiar with the field, will
give an immediate impetus in the
oil activities in that field, proving
as it does beyond the shadow of a
do ubt that both gas and oil are to
be had there in almost unlimited
quantities and that this field will
develop into one of the richest in
America, just as foremost geologists
from all parts of the country have
been predicting for several months.

Test Your Seed Corn by the
RagdOll Method.

The modified rag doll, devised by
Purdue University, is an excellent
method for testing corn in the home.
1t consists of a strip of cloth approx
mately l2x54 inches. preferably cheap
grade of canton flannel. and strip of
paper IL x 60 inches. The paper should
be heavy glazed paper or the heavy
fibre paper used by butchers. To make
Individual ear tests of corn proceed as
follows:
Lay the strip of paper on a clean
table. Moisten the strip of cloth thor
oughly andlay over the paper. edges
even, both ends of paper extending
beyond the cloth. Lay ten or more
grains from each ear in rows crosswise,
leaving two inches or more between the
rows, each of which represents single
ear. When as many rows as desired
have been placed on the cloth. roll
carefully. rather loosely, placing q
rubber band or string around each end
to keep it from unrolling. Stand the
rag doll on end in deep receptacle,
cover with heavy damp cloth. sprinkle
the doll from time to time, and keep as
nearly as possible IS degrees F. during
the day, 10 degrees F. at night.
At the end of the six days unroll and
count termination.
The paper prevents the spread OF
mould through the doll, and prevents
roots from growing through. thus max.
ing unrolling and counting easier anc
more reliable. Service,

even 10000 feet, produce the

even 10000 feet, produce the
best lettuce. At these eleva-
tions the days are not often
extremely warm and nights
are uniformly cool, conditions
that make for crisp, hard
heads with a minimum of tip
burn and seed stalks. In GER
tain seasons successful crops
may be tgrown at altitude of
about 5000 feet, but the chan
ces for a good return are much
less than at the higher eleva-
tions.
The transportation factor is
an important consideration in
the development of the lettuce
industry in any locality. A
glance at the figures reveals
that the most important ship
ping points are located on
standard guage railroads
where transportation and
handling charges are less than
elsewhere. Many localities
in the state, where there are
ideal climatic and soil condi-
tions for the growing of the
crop. are handicapped by lack
of adequate transportation ia.
cilities and must grow lettuce
in a Initiated way, if at all.
Head lettuce requires about
ninety days from seeding to
maturity. In some of the To-
calities, at the higher eleva-
tions, seeding cannot be done
until the middle of June, while
hard freezes may damage the
crop late in September, if it is
still in the field. This leaves
no time to spare and the grow
er must be prepared to plant,
cultivate and harvest without
delay when the time comes
for these operations, or his
crop will be failure. From

$4,000 MORE FOR CUM
BRES ROAD

John Green, deputy state
highway engineer, informs the
Ledger that $4,000 more has
been added to the state high
way No. AS, formerly known
as No. II, from Antonito over
Cumbres pass. 1t is presumed
that this money is available
out of the $4,000 appropriat-
ed by the government for the
work between Los Pinos and
the state line, which was con
tracted for eighty-four thous-
and dollars, leaving a surplus.
This added to the state appro-
priation of twenty thousand
dollars brings the total availa-
BILE fund for the project up to
sixty-six thousand dollars.
The entire project from the
forest line to the state line is
now a federal aid project and
will be completed by the gov
ernment. The work will be
done by contract. The road
built on La Manga last season
was IL feet wide, but since it
has been turned over to the
government, the new plans no
doubt contemplate a full width
government road.
The route between the for
est line and the mouth of Elk
Creek, will require a survey
before it can be contracted and
some time will necessarily
elapse before the actual con-
struction will be commenced.
However, with slight work
the present road along the
river which received consid-
cradle repair last year will be
in better shape than it was
last year for traffic until the
new road can be built.

Importance of the Man in Success
full Dairying.

Failure in the dairy business is due
to one of three things:
1st. The business itself.
End. The COW.
3rd. The man.
The business is sound. This is shown
largely by the fact that the income
derived from the dairy business is
larger than the income derived from
all other classes of livestock on the
farm combined.
The COW must be a good COW, one
that can return good labor income
to her owner.
But the greatest factor to success in
the dairy business is the man.
He must know his good cows and moi
guess which are his good ones.
He must be dairyman, and like cows,
like to work with them and like to care
for them. He must not be in the dairy
business just in order to pay off thai
grocery bill contracted when he had M
use for cows.
He must remember that the fun.
damental basis of the dairy business
lies in the maternity of the dairy COW.
He must know how to feed profitably
and apply that knowledge and to feet
only cows that can return profit.
He must use good purebred bull t.
keep up the future quality of his herd.
He must know how to work anc
apply that knowledge. Harold R.

Commission.
