"HOOKS" IN THE EYES OF
HORSES CAN BE CURED

Agricultural College News Notes.
The so-called "hooks" in the eyes
of horses pertains to the nictitans
membrane, or "third eye lid" This
curtain, which is ordinarily not seen,
becomes visible when the horse low
ers his head and yawns. 1t is used by
dumb animals to wipe the eye ball.
Man having perfected other means of
wiping his eyes is no longer provided
with this curtain, and nothing re-
mains but a small tubercle which may
be felt at the innernost corner of the
eye. In certain diseases of the eye
this curtain becomes visible, and in
tetanus (lockjaw) it drops down, COW
ering nearly one-third of the eye ball.
It was at one time popular belief
that the 'hooks" must be removed or
the horse would go blind. If the
cause is removed the nictitans menu
brane will be retracted to its normal
position

seems to me. OF the 33,069 acres
under cultivation last year, 81 ,O62
acres were producing hay of all kinds.
We see from this that the acreage
under cultivation was only 37.5 per
cent of the total available farm land,
and only FIT per cent was actually
cropped. There were S26 acres Of
raw land put under cultivation last
year, and many thousands fit for
cultivation are yet broken up. At
this rate it will take US a long time
to convert the tillable land into an as
set TO the country. ! am not pleading
the case of the so-calIed dirt" farmer,
as this is distinctly a range country,
however, with this tillable land at our
very door it is very much to our ad-
vantage to make it produce for US.
A county agent has at his disposal
ways and means by which he can give
us the assistance we need.
The coming of the head lettuce in
dustry has precipitated the need of a
county agent. 1t is only a question of
time before this county takes its
place with other leading counties of
the state and comes out flat-footed for
a county agent He is not a man to
force himself on a skeptical and hos
tile community. He comes only when
the majority demands the is not
here to manage our affairs for us, but
nevertheless, he has our affairs at
heart. He Is man paid money to
save money-a man to cooperate with
US whenever we may call on him. He
Is closely connected with the Farm
Bureau. powerful organization work
ing for the best interests of the farm
er and ranchman.
In the near future we will publish
a list of counties and their respective
County Agents. Figures do not lie
and We will be able to better Judge
for ourselves from such evidence.
Gunnison County is backing her lettuce
growers and is entering the re-organ-
lied Buena Vista marketing associa-
ton. Shall We go into this blindly, as
We did last year? We need a County
Agent to assist us, to develop this one
industry if for no other one reason.
He would act as a field man upon
which we may depend. We need the
supervision of man in the cutting,
irrigating and grading of lettuce. Such
. man would put in full time in supply
ing Us with cars for stock shipments
and in more ways than one be Of SER
vice to US as community.
II was suggested that the agricul-
tural instructor in the Gunnison
County High School put in part time

lieve that this would be successful.
