and weather conditions, but n better
quality of hay will be secured if most
of the curing is done in the wlndrow
rather than the swath. From 3 to I
days are required to cure hay in the
windrow.
Hay which has been partly cured
in the wiDdrow, is often punched with
sulky rake, thus loosening it up and
insuring thorough curing, as well as
simplifying the work of the sweep
rake. punching hay in this sense is
not cooking it but simply second
raking. Since less hay Is exposed
when punched, there will be less
bleaching and SCATTERING provided the
hay Is punched before il gets too dry.
In case of rain, punched hay does not
dry out readily, but is considered to
be of better quality il allowed to dry
out well before turning.
In sections of the state where wea-
Their conditions interfere with curing
or where a superior quality Of hay is
desired, hay lis cured in cocks. As soon
after cutting as hay is free from any
surface moisture it is raked and piled
into cocks. Smaller cocks of 100
pounds or less are preferred. From
To 10 days are required for the hay
TO cure, depending upon existing con-
ditions. Hand labor is necessary in
building cocks and pitching hay out of
cocks, maxim this the slower and
more expensive method. Hay cannot
be satisfactorily handled on a large
scale where so much time and hand
labor are required in curing. conse-
quently this method is not used on the
largest ranches.
Hay cured in the cock is of a su-
perior quality, containing little bleach
ed hay and retaining a bright green
color. Since much greater percentage
Of the leaves, the most nutritious part
Of the plant, is also saved, the hay
makes a more palatable and valuable
feed.

PROFITS IN FARMING ARE
DEPENDENT ON FERTILITY

News Notes:-Agricultu College, -
The soil is the farmers bank. If the
adds fertility to it, he can draw from
il in the form of crops, and the more
he adds within reasonable limits, the
more he can draw, or the larger will
be his crops. The most profitable
farms are those that have had their
soil fertility maintained. The biggest
crop yields in Colorado are invariably
found upon the best soil. II is not
uncommon to find failures and big
yields side by side, the former due
TO WORKOUT land, and the latter to
enriched soil. Soil-building renovat-
ing crops are composed mostly of
plants that should be consumed by
animals. To secure the most profit
from these crops they must be fed on
the farm. They improve the land in
the growing: they give a profit when
fed and the manure made by feeding
them enriches the soil so that larger
crop yields are secured. Every farm
er knows that to pillow under any kind
of crop improves the soil, but he does
not know that the manure made from
it, If taken care of, has a fertiliziny
value equal to SIS per cent of that crop.
An advantage enjoyed by the stock
grower aside from the value man
ure has, is the conversion of rough
age and waste into concentrated I'm
ished product. In the past, hay has
been very cheap and viii be again, in
time.
In the raising of livestock a certain
amount of pasturage is required. The
land is thus cleared of weeds, rested
and plant food made available, and
enriched by the droppings of the ami
mails. This means larger yields and
more profit. Profitable cropping year
after year can be secured only in con-
junction with livestock growing.
Straight grain production year after
year can result only in losses or low
labor income.

SUGGESTIONS on
IRRIGATION OF POTATOES

Horticulture Department Colorado
Agriculture College.
The Horticulture Department is FIRE.
queutly called upon 10 give advice as
u when and how potatoes should be
irrigated To answer such questions
InteilIgentiy. a knowledge of soil con-
d.uons Is absolutely necessary. Many
growers believe potatoes should not be
Fugated until the vines are setting
the tubers, even though the vines are
artgally suffering from lack of water.
Tins may work out all right, but one
may well question the wisdom of fol-
wing such a rule. 1t is a universal
rule that when a growing plant needs
" aler and shows signs Of whiting. wat
eT should be applied, so that the nor
nal growth will not be checked. When
the tubers have once set, it is neces-
AIRY TO irngate SO as TO keep the soil
in best growing condition possible for
the balance of the season or until the
orop is matured. In other words there
should be no check TO the growth Of
the plants after the tubers have start
cd to develop. II check is given
turing this period, and the plant re-
Imes its growth afterwards, knobby
md gnariy tubers result. Hence the
Importance of keeping the young po-
tatoes growing without check thru
out the season
In irrigatlng potatoes, il is much
better to apply enough water 70 thor
oughly saturate the ground, rather
than small amounts of water at fire.
quent intervals, as frequent applica-
ions of water will puddle and harden
the soil TO n much greater extent,
and there IS danger that some plants
will not get enough water. A small
stream running for a long period is
better than large stream running for
a short period.
On the Eastern slope, il is prefer
able TO apply the water during cloudy
days or at night time. When the po-
tatoes have reached their full growth.
which depends largely upon the season
and locality, it is advisable to withhold
the water so that the skin of the tub
ers may ripen and harden. Other
wise the keeping quality of the potat-
oes will be impaired. Keeping the
tubers growing up to the harvest time
results In poor quality.
There is a tendency in some potato
sections to crowd the
growth and development, or, as some
express it, to make the crop 'in the
shortest possible time" during the
month of August and half of Septem-
Der, by the liberal use of water. This
practice may be advantageous during
seasons, but such practice
results in a poorer quality
OF the crop produced and the tubers
are watery and soggy, with poor keep
ng qualities. Further, seed grown in
this way lack vigor. A normal growth
when the plant is not
'orced is preferable, so far as quality
IS concerned. 1t is also preferable
that undue forcing of the plants
makes them more susceptible to dis
Ease attacks.

FOREST RANGERS KILL
MOUNTAIN LION WITH CLUBS

Moab (Utah) mes-Independent:-
1t was recently the experience Of
Forest Rangers H. A. Tangren and
Marion Hunt to kill huge mountain
lion with clubs. The rangers were
riding thru the West Elk Mountains,
when they rode across a lion that had
been caught in trap by Roy Mussel-
man. Neither ranger was armed and
they feared the lion might make es-
cape if allowed to remain in the
trap much longer. They armed them
selves with long poles and proceeded
to club the huge cat to death.
The hon was famous killer, hav-
ing made serious inroads on flocks
Of San Juan during the season. He
killed 81 sheep in one night, and it is
estimated that he had done over a
thousand dollars worth of damage
during the summer. The animal
weighed over 200 pounds and his pelt
measured ten feet in length from tip
of tail to nose. The Blanding Stock
mems Association has paid Mussel
man a reward Of $500 for Riding the
range of the killer.

field as it relates 10 the motor truck
industry, according TO NJ. i. Pulcher,
vice president and general manager of

Detroit.
/. For the first time in the history
Of the industry there is n distinct pos
sibility that there will be shortage of
motor trucks in business transportation.
2. A definite campaign on the part
of truck owners to secure capacity
loadings at both ends of truck routes.
3. The railroads will ask for the
long haul business and turn over the
short haul in less than carload lots to
the motor trucks.
4. The development of the motor
bus as a transportation medium in the
hauling of school children, in the trans
portation Of city workers to and from
places of work and in interurban fields.
.. The expenditure o. more than
81, 800, 100000 for motor trucks and
equipment such as tires, gasoline, parts
and accessories.
6. Large orders from so-called ma
tional buyers, operating fleets of

of any other year in the fourteen years

history, according to o. c. Hutchinson,
general sales manager.
In letter to the Burton-Lary Motor
company, Hupmobile distributor for
Southwest Texas, Mr.. Hutchinson says:
The total number Of Hupmobiles
sold in March, 1920, hitherto the great
est sales month, was exceeded in every
month in 1922 except January, Febru-
airy, November and December. Had
plant facilities permitted their manu-
facture, 1t is certain that several thou
sand more cars could have been sold.
"HupmObile sales this year will to-
tai about $4,000 cars. Domestic sales
will be more than double those of 1920,
the previous largest year. Despite this
selling record. Hupmobile distributors
and dealers have an usually small num-
Der of cars on hand today.

Henry Bryant Reports Best
Year in History of
Company.

The San AntDuio Buick company dur
ing the calendar year Of 1922 delivered
40l Buicb cars IN San Antonio, setting
new high record for sales Of that car
in this city. According to Henry II.
Bryant, manager Of the company, had
it been possible 10 secure sufficient
cars from the factory, a much larger
number would have been sold.
During the year just closed" said
Mr.. Bryant "the San Antonio Buick
company broke ell former records for re-
tail sales, delivering during the twelve
months total of 4C1 Buick cars Of the
different models. Practically at no
time during the year were we able to
make immediate deliveries so great was
the loci demanl for Buick cars.
However. the factory is making
every effort TO meet the big demand
which IS being felt not onlv here but
all over the country and il Is probable
that Buick dealers will be in n position
10 make quicker deliveries during 1923.
at is needless to state that I am
rroud of the record of the San Antonio
Buick company. 1t is an evidence of
great popularity Of the car In San An
tonic. OF course our sa!ca force de-
serves a large share Of the credit for
this record"
Although no official announcement
has hccn made, il is understood that the
San Antonio brar't Of the Ruicl; Motor
comrany also set new high record for
G"li'trir to its various dealers in South
