fire PROTECTION
IN THE FOREST

From the times when we ran as
carefree children to now when not
few carry gray hairs and signs of age,
the trees have been our friends. As
children we hid behind them in our
play or climbed to their topmost
branches for a look over the rest of
the world, or perhaps laid down tired
and happy to sleep in their shade. AS
grown-ups we do not climb them and
play, much as we would sometimes
like to be able, but we do realize more
fully their part in our industrial and
business life. They are still our
friends.
Colorado needs to protect her forests
from fire. At the present time only
one-fourth Of the amount of lumber
that is consumed in the state is pro-
duced here. The consumption Of lum-
Der in Colorado amounts to approxim-
ately $50 million feet annually. At
an average price of $4,000 per thous-
and feet this means that 100000 is
paid annually by the people Of Colo
RADIO to purchase lumber from outside
the state. This amount, if it could be
invested within the state each year,
would mean much to the welfare and
Prosperity Of the people who live here.

TEACHES
VALUE OF PUREBREDs

A county agent in Colorado reported
to the United States Department Of
Agriculture a convincing method he
has used in furthering the better -sires
work in his county. A butchering and
meat-cutting demonstration was given
with two market hogs, one purebred
Duroc Jersy and the other scrub red
hog. The hogs were weighed, then
slaughtered and dressed, and weighed
again. The live weight of each hog
was practically the same. The dress
ing percentage of the purebred was
about per cent more than that of
the scrub. The good hog figured to be
worth $2.1O more than the other. This
was but a fraction of the difference in
the value between the two hogs, how
ever, as the purebred was but half as
old as the scrub hog, and had con-
sumed much less feed.
The meat-cutting demonstration was
held in the auditorium of the county
school, and more than 500 men and
women were present. The two car
cases were cut into the various cuts
of meat, showing the superior quality
of the meat Of the purebred hog.

ty of sueculent feed, are producing
better than if kept in the dry lot and
fed dry feeds. They get the exercise
they need, are away from most of the
flies and are still close to the house.
so they are easily taken care of.
The grass mixture recommended is
as follows: Bronze grass 15 pounds;
orchard grass Is pounds; meadow
fescue 10 pounds; timothy 6 pounds,
and yellow sweet clover 4 pounds. This
makes total of 50 pounds of seed
per acre. This high rate of seeding is
used to enable the getting of a good
sod as quickly as possible. If condi-
tons are favorable, the rate of seeding
may be decreased and good sod be
secured. In connection with the large
amount Of seed used, it is well to note
that grass seed is the cheapest this
spring that it has been for four or
five years, so this is the time to get in
your pasture.
The grass mixture should be planted
on land that has been well prepared.
The seed is small so necessitates
seed bed as good or better than that
used for beets. 1T should be planted
as soon as possible now The early
seedlings do best. The seed is planted
using barley, or oats, or wheat as a
nurse crop. A half seeding of the
nurse crop is used. the second years
crop of the. grass should be cut for
hay and then the sod will be we'll
enough established to pasture. This
will last 10 to Is years and each year
carry as much as alfalfa would if the
hay were cut. You need the pasture.
This is the time to put it in.-Waldo
Kidder, Extension Agronomist, Colora-
do Agricultural College.

ly but surely yielding to the activi-
ties OF the automobile and farm
tractor, while other farm animals
show an increase during the same
period. Comparing the official fig
ures of January |, 1923, with those
of January l, 1914, it appears that
the value of horses on farms of the
country decreased 429o in the nine
year period, while that of cattle
increased 4To, swine 1870, and
sheep 1870 in the same period. The
number of horses decreased more
than 100000 in the nine year
period. while the number of swine
increased ~ million, cattle in
creased nearly 100000. The av-
erage value per head of horses on
farms decreased 36@o when COM
pairing January l, 1923 with Janu-
ary |, 1919, while that of swine in
creased 1919 and sheep 8o@o per
capita. Horses decreased in num-
Der, value and price per capita;
sheep decreased in number but in
creased in aggregate value, while
cattle and swine increased in
both number and total value in the
period in question, January l, 1923
compared with January /. 1914.
The above figures necessarily re-
late only to animals on farms as
we only get decennial estimates of
the number of horses in cities and
towns. That the number of horses
in the cities and towns has even
more rapidly decreased than that
on farms is evidenced by a COM
parison of the decennial census of

That the horse is being slowly but
surely displaced by the automobile
and farm tractor is again evidenced
by the annual statement of the De-
partment of Agriculture as to the
number of animals on farms in the
United States on January l, 1923.
Horses again show a fall in num-
Der and aggregate value as has
been the case in each year since
1918 while all other animals show
an increase in both number and
value when comparing the figures
of January l, 1928 with those of
the same date of last year.
The number of horses on farms
on January l, 1928, shows a fall of
100000 as compared with one year
earlier, while cows show an in
crease of $4,000, other eattle of
$4,000, sheep an adv Nce of 882,-
600, and swine ga of 5,590,000
when comparing January /. 1923
! with January l, 1922. The value of
horses on farms falls off $29,0OO0O0
in the single year 1922 while that
of cows increased $14,0OO,G00, other
cattle $SsOO0,OOO, sheep $lO5, 100000.
and swine $l44,G0O000.
While the above figures showing
fall in the number and value of
horses refer only to single year,
1922, a comparison of the number
and value OF the various farm ami
mails on January /, 1923 with that
of the January Immediately pre-
ceding the war makes it clear that
the horse has been meantime slow

1920 with that of 1910. The 1920
census shows the number of
horses not on farms" in 1920 at
l,7OS,OOO against $4,000 in 1910, a
decrease of 4o9o in, the ten year
period ending with 1920 while the
annual decrease since 1920 is pre-
sumably even more rapid than that
OF the decade ending with 1920.
The decrease in use of the horse
has been much more rapid in the
cities and towns than in the rural
areas, as shown by the fact that
while the number of horses on
farms decreased 79o in the decade
ending with 1922, the number mot
on farms" decreased 1910 in the
decade ending with 1920.
This big fall off in the number of
horses would probably have been
even greater but for the fact that
we of the United States do not re-
gard the horse as a food animal,
and the present generation of
horses is thus permitted to pass
out of existence by the natural
process rather than by slaughter
ing them for food as is often done
in certain other countries.
That the decrease in the number
and value of horses is closely re-
lated to the increased use OF the
in its various forms is
evidenced by the fact that the
number of motor vehicles regis
tered in the United States has in
creased from l,7l1.339 in 1914 to
,245 in 1922.

ly showing an increase in the lumber
production in the West. In fact, states
in the E0eAy mountains and ON the
west coast are about the only ones that
are increasing their output. The state
of Washington has ranked first in
lumber production for several years,
and Oregon has ranked second since
1891. With the decline in the lumber
production in the Lake states and in
the South, there is constant increase
in the timber cut in the West. While
this increase is most pronounced on the
west coast it is constantly becoming
more pronounced in the Rocky noun
tains.
There are several lines Of timber
production which may be increased to
advantage. The fruit industry of Col
orado uses an enormous amount of box
material, and fruit packers at Grand
Junction have been observed filling
baskets manufactured in. Michigan
Also lettuce packers have used boxes
in large quantities which have been
produced in Arkansas and the Pacific
northwest and shipped in at great ex-
pense for freight. Local species Of
timber have been tested out for box
construction and have proven satisfac-
tory. As brought out above there is
an abundance of timber in the state
suited to this use. Increasing the
manufacture of such products offers
an excellent opportunity for the de-
velopment Of a local industry.
A cooperage plant has recently been
established at Denver at which aspen
is to be utilized. An abundance of
this species occurs in the state and it
has been used to only limited extent,
largely for such products as excelsior
and veneer. 40,
