Motor Car Manufacturers Predict
1924 to Be Equally as Prosperous
AS Past Year-When Interviewed

President said, "we have been able
to read the signs Of continued pros
Eerity during the coming year.
While 1928 was a surprise year,
from a business standpoint, 1924
will surpass even the present twelve
months.
"Farmers have readjusted them
selves. Experience dearly bought
has taught them how next year to
cash in on their products.
Employment Improves
"Our best indications of indus
trial prosperity are based on en-
rlovment. From everywhere in
formation is that more men are
working more steadily than ever
before. We will increase employ
ment in Detroit by the opening of
new unit to manufacture 500 ears
daily, bringing our capacity up to
$50 automobiles each working day.
Thus is our faith in 1924 demon
strated.'
President McAuley of the Pack
ard Company declared himself ode
cidedly an optimist. ~
employment is better" he said.
"The volume cf sales will at least
be as great next year as in the
present year. | would not be sur
prised to see {, reasonable increase
but il will not be a sensational one,
business conditions generally
are sound and they are getting
sounder.o

::ARMERs MUST AVOID WASTE
Increasing Price Of Land. Feed and La.
Dor Make II Advisable to Use
All By-Products.

With the increasing price Of land,
feed, and the higher cost Of labor, 1t is
becoming necessary that the farmer
eliminate, as far as possible, any waste
He must make use of all the by-prod
ucts of his business much the same es
the manufacturer does. Corn is pro-
duced in practically every section Of
the country, primarily for the grain,
and frequently the stover is disre-
garded.
Properly cured stover is relished by
live stock, but that which is left In the
open during disagreeable weather is
far from being palatable or nourish-
ing. Slower protected from the time it
is cut in the field is valuable feed
for young stock, idle horses, and cat
tie that are being carried over the win
ter on cheap ration.
The best way to handle corn stover
is by means Of the shredder. This
method makes 1t possible to get it in
the barn before the feeding qualities
have been injured by the weather.
Enough room should always be re-
served in the barn to accommodate a
good supply of stover. Hay may be
safely stacked out, but 1t Is unsafe to
try to stack shredded stover. Care
must be taken to give the corn ample
time to cure before it is shredded, for
1t may heat In the NOV and become
worthless through subsequent mold
ing.

Don't keep meat scraps in warm,

The best medicine for poultry Of any

The floor of the poultry house should

A platform under the roosts keeps

short bills.
Patch the leaky poultry house roofs.

1850 37,sOO

This is slight reduction over for
mel years of the number of stock al
lotted to the forest. The same grazing
seasons and fees as were in effect the
past year will be effective the coming
year, and Mr.. Blair intends to take up
the approval of sheep applications on
February 20 and the cattle applica-
tions on March 1.
One point of vital interest to the
grazing permittees who have been using
the Grand Mesa unit of the White Riv-
cr forest is that the recommendation
that this unit of range be closed to
grazing for a period of at least three
years was approved. This unit of
range has been badly overgrazed in
past years. An attempt was made last
year to relieve the overgrazed condi-
tion by allotting a portion of the stock
to the Coffee Pot range on the north
side of the Colorado river. However, it
was found that this did not solve the
problem and the local forest officers
have decided that the only logical SO,
luton to the question is to close the
unit to grazing for a term of years
until natural reseeding has taken place.
The users of the Grand Mesa unit will
be given range on the north side Of
the Colorado river

Number Which Can Be Kept Most Eff.

The size Of the flock which can be
kept most efficiently will depend upon
fine space available and upon the
amount of table scraps and Other
waste available for feed 1t is a mis-
take to overstock your land, says the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture. Better results will be obtained
from a few hens in small yard than
from large number. The backyard
flock rarely should consist of more
than 20 or % hens, and often Of not
more than eight or ten. For 20 or %
hens you should have yard 25 by 30
