Colorado Fat Lamb Movement,

About fifty per cent of the lambs
on feed In Colorado this year has
moved to market, according to the re-
port issued by the Chicago and Denver
offices of the U. s. Division of Crop
and Livestock Estimates. This means
that since January l shipments had
amounted to about 10000 head. Since
January approximately $4,000 lambs
have been added to those already on
feed at the first of the year. With
these additional feeders the number
still in the Colorado feed lots at this
date, most of which are to go to mar
ket between now and the first of May,
is approximately 765,OOO. Last year re-
ports of carlot shipments show that
the receipts of Colorado lambs at the
six principal markets, Chicago, Omaha,
st. Joseph, st. Louis, Kansas City and
Denver from January to April 1
totaled 785,OO0. These receipts in
cluded some Implications In count due
to sheep unloaded at one market and
afterward forwarded to another and
counted as from Colorado at each mar
ket. From this it will be noted that
the marketings are much heavier to
date this year than last year.

that country without trees is "baldheaded and
boneheaded" and it is high time that they got busy
on the nations forestry problem.
President Harding Is strong In his belief that
national forest policy is necessary. rs s shown by
his letter to Representative John D. Clarke OF New
York, chairman of the agricultural committee OF
the house, which held extensive hearings, had bill
drafted and sent 10 to him for expression Of his
views
The Presidents letter says in part:
"The federal government has made fine progress
In It's scheme of forest reserves, the development
of methods of forest protection against fire and In
sect and plant pests in promoting reforestation
and methods of timber conservation and In its re-
search looking toward improved methods Of timber
utilization. Some OF the states have formulated
state programs along the general lines and of
recent years especially there has been steadily
growing interest on the part of private owners of
forest lands. am very glad, therefore, that the
committee on agriculture feels that we have come
to n time when definite provision should be made
for larger cooperation between the federal govern
ment, the states and the private owners, with
view to working out national policy covering the
growth, protection conservation and use Of timber.
"When remember that substantially one
fourth of the national area Is forest land or poten
tia forest land of little value for timber
production, the need of such policy becomes appar.
ent. Already We have consumed or destroyed six
ty per cent Of our original timber wealth. and we
are now using timber at rate four times as fast
once covered with fine forests and which are suit
able only for the growing of timber are now
tirely barren. Prosperous communities built up
while these virgin forests were being harvested
have disappeared, transportation lines have been
torn up, and social and Industrial decay has fol-
lowed. The growing Of timber is the most practi-
cnl use to which these lands can be put and popu-
1ation and industry of these regions may be re-
stored only by restoring the forests To this end
both federal and state governments may well lend
every proper encouragement
"As we have consumed our forest growth near

become necessary to ship the timber needed for
constantly increasing distances at steadily growing
transportation cost and Inconvenience and with
consequent increases In the price of lumber This
has added to our difficulty In meeting the housing

GERMANY'S WAY OUT

Recent reports from Berlin an
nounce that the German cabinet has
decided to offer 100000, 900 gold
marks, about $500, 100000, to the
allies as war reparations. 1t is fur
Their stated that the offer will sug-
gest a commission of experts, in ac-
cordance with the plan of Secretary
of State Hughes, to examine into
Germany's capacity to pay, and if the
commission decides that Germany
can pay more than the cabinet pro-
posed, the additional sum will be
Forthcoming. Most of the world is
too busy rebuilding what Germany
destroyed to consider her persistent
propaganda. 1t has been discounted
in the light of Germany's record, and
the impression is generally held that,
whether or not the reparation pay
ments, which were fixed at around
$32, 100000, were too large, Ger
many without unreasonable hardship
can pay much more than she has ever
proposed. She knows this perhaps
better than does any country.
If the German desire that France
withdraw from the Ruhr and evacuate
German territory is growing more
acute, the way has been repeatedly
and clearly pointed out by France.
France has consistently declared her
readiness to begin withdrawal as soon
as Germany begins to redeem her
pledges. Frances position is founded
on legal and moral principle. 1t
therefore remains for Germany to
show sincere efforts to meet her obi
cations, thus to test the sincerity of
Frances purpose to withdraw. >Ger-

Where several hundred people take
part in such affairs there's no mys-

not properly punished, damage to the
entire community will be so much the
greater, because failure to bring to
justice those who participated in the
outrage will Show that public senti-

THE REPUBLICAN RIFT

Although Washington gossip is not
always reliable, it is always interest
ing. Just now rumor has it that there
is no possibility of reconciliation of
Republican leaders to the world court
plan. The president also has gone too
far to recede from advocacy of the
court. Therefore, so says gossip, there
is an unbridgeable gulf between the
president and the majority of his
party leaders, which means either that
Mr.. Harding must eliminate himself
from the race or be sidetracked. It
is rather startling to discover that so
pacific a gentleman as the president,
and one who bent such sincere en-
deavors towards party harmony,
should be so at loggerheads with those
with whom he sought to be on good
terms. 1t only goes to show that one
who honestly tries to be a good presi-
dent and to favor those policies he
believes best for the country cannot
herd with the politicians, especially
politicians of the type now in Repub-
lican control of congress.
The president made his error, per-
haps, in not from the first insisting
more firmly upon the enactment of
important legislation. By the time
the president did begin firmly to in,
sist on such legislation, the opinion
had already gone abroad that he would
in the end give way to senatorial de-
cision. The senators have the evil
dent impression that they have the
nation by the tail and can guide
public sentiment and support into
whatever alley they selfishly desire
Fortunately, the senators have not ia
ken the people of this country into the
calculation. They have made up their
minds that the people gave man.
date unfavorable to our participation
in world affairs and the world league,
and have shut their eyes to evidence
to the contrary. That may be good
dictatorship, but it is poor politics.
Returns from the country indicate
that the presidents proposal of a
world court has elected widespread
approval, just as the record of the
senators has brought forth groans
of general condemnation. If the Re-
publican senators, who have been SC
conspicuously associated with the
legislative fiascos of the past three
years, are prominently to the fore ia
the coming presidential elections, the
Democrats could ask for no better
encouragement.
