JAPS TRY TO GYP MONT
ROSE LAND OWNERS

The Japanese onion growers in the
Olathe district have organized them
selves and agreed not to grow onions
unless they are allowed to furnish the
seed, and are given two thirds Of the
crop, the land owner to furnish the
land and water, prepare the ground
and market the crops. The ranchers
called meeting soon after at the Pea
Green school house and nearly forty
of them agreed to not rent onion
ground for less than half of the crop.
As result Of the controversy many
ranchers are leasing their land to
Mexican laborers.

THE TREND IN BEEF PRO-
DUCTlON Is TOWARD
YOUNGER ANIMALS

By II. A. Ireland. agricultural ex-
pert under the Uncompahgre project
at Montrose.
Down in the feed yards of the Delta
sugar beet factory there are lot of
steers on feed. Some of these, Judged
from size and general appearances
must be from four TO six years old and
It is a pretty safe bet that they have
lost some one money every year since
they were two year olds, and perhaps
longer than that.
The Field Secretary of the Ameri-
can Shorthorn Breeders Association
says that last year there was a demand
among cattle feeders of the corn belt
for 1000 head of good calves of Short
horn blood, that could not be filled
Suppose Montrose and Delta counties
could supply this demand every year.
Such calves sell at premium and
with their baby fat would bring the
producer within a few dollars of as
much per head as they'd bring him as
yearlings, at a very much lower cost.
The idea of marketing beef as
weaners instead of two year olds is
appealing to some of our most pro-
gressive cattlemen who say that the
general trend has been in that direction
for some time. II means a quicker
turnover with higher and safe mar
gin of profit, it means lower costs,
lower freight and reduced losses; it
means more animals to market each
year as range now consumed by year
lings and two year old steers can be
given to cows; it means a larger per-
centage of calves from having no
steers on the range with the COW
herds, and that the COWS will do better
on the range; 1t means Swimming the
cream and getting the profit because
while there may be some profit left
in steer from weaver to the grass
beef stage, the margin of profit is far
lower. The following figures show
amounts of alfalfa hay required to
make 100 lbs. gain on the same steers
as weaners, yearlings and two year
olds,-a rather striking example of
the relative efficiency of steers at
different ages.
Age of steers Alfalfa eaten per
100 lbs. gain
Calves 1391.7S lbs.
Yearlings l949.60 lbs.
Two year olds 3l9S.56 lbs.
The beef market is another reason
for the earlier selling of his crop by
the beef raiser. The demand for baby
beef is increasing over that of older
beef just as surely as the demand for
lamb outgrew and nearly destroyed
the demand for mutton which explains
why the feeder demand is becoming so
strong for weaners and short year
lings. And last but not least, the
markets are beginning to discriminate
more and more against grassfat beef.
A. f. de Ricqles of Denver, well known
to Western Slope Cattlemen, says,
I'VE can't help but conclude that the
days of big consignments of range
cattle are rapidly drawing to close.
The people will endeavor to produce
m animal that will sell at a younger
age and on which competition is great

The prospective lettuce grower
should remember that while the out
look for head lettuce growing is gen.
orally favorable. there are number
of things to be carefully considered
before going into it. Some of these
are the probable returns which may be
expected. the proper acreage to plant
and the adaptability of the location
selected to the successful production
and handling of the crop.
Those who expect to 90 into head
lettuce growing are naturally interest
ed in tin returns which may be anti
cipated from this crop. Last year
something like 5000 acres of lettuce
were carried to maturity in Colorado
and from this acreage were harvested
approximately S25 cars, or about one
car to every six acres. With $50
crates TO carload, this means Yield
of about sixty crates per acre. This
Is of course q very low figure but
should be warning against putting
the probable yield too high. Five or
six hundred crates per acre have been
cut in some instances but the average
for even the best growers is much less.
probably 200 to 300 crates per acre.
Regarding prices received for let
tuce, growers report figures ranging
from seventy-five cents to two dollars
per packed crate for last seasons
crop. This is the price received for
lettuce delivered at packing shed in
field crates. Shippers report an aver
age price paid to growers of about
sl.55 per crate, this being the net
amount paid after packing. crates
transportation, and other marketing
charges were deducted. The shippers
believe that larger acreage will be
planted this year and that prices will
be somewhat lower. In this connection
it may be stated that growers should
make arrangements early in the sea
son to market the crop as it is NOT
safe to put this off until harvesting
time. If a contract is made with &
certain marketing agency either pri-
vately or comparatively managed, the
terms of the contract should be faith
fully fulfilled as it is only in this new
way that the confidence necessary to
put the industry on firm foundation
can be established. Z
The location of the land for head
lettuce growing is important in many
ways. Some localities having admir-
