MAJORITY 4
GA|NST AGENT

Stockmen, dairymen, farmers, let
tuce growers and fellow citizens of our
valley took an afternoon off at the
district court room last Saturday and
discussed the matter of q county agent
but arrived at no permanent conclu-
sion. There was quite an attendance
f.osn outside points, but bad roads
prevented many coming who would
like to have taken part.
H. d. Eldridge, agricultural instruct
or at the County High School, intro
duced the subject and also introduced
II. w. Schafer, West Slope representa-
tive Of the extension service from the
Colorado Agricultural college, ut Fort
Collins, who thoroly explained where
the idea came from, what county
agent does, how he is appointed and
what it would cost. Mr.. Schafer told
of the 1920 furnished by the federal
government thru the Smith-Lever act
for this purpose to counties where the
tillers of the soil want such extension
service. The plan was started in 1911 to
bring closer to farmers and stockmen
results Of experiments and investiga-
tons by the colleges and because OF
the need felt for organized local work
in studying disease Of plants and ami
mails, the growing of ali sorts of crops,
marketing methods, and the hundred
and one questions which the farmers
want to know about, but have no one
to ask concerning. It has been SO
successful that there are now 5000 ex-
tension workers in over 1000 counties
of the United States. Most Of the
counties in Colorado seem to be de-
manding such trained and paid man
who will devote his entire attention TO
the benefit Of the producers. It would
cost the county in round figures 50 900
additional, for salary, Office and travel
ing expenses. The college would rec
ommend several men, and the county
commissioners must make the choice
and do the hiring and pay the addition
al money. There Is no more federal
money available now, but may be
when the fiscal year starts in July or
later in the fall.
A considerable discussion arose over
the actual things county agent
could accomplish, especially in a re-
gion devoted largely to live stock.
The stockmen present were fearful OF
the expense and, in line with former
expressions, did not believe such q
man would do much II any good
Among those who took this view OF
the case on the floor, were w. L.
Curtis, Pat O'Falion, George Ander-
son, L. H. Rouviere, L. h Easterly
opinion was that the live stock bust
ness was in very bad shape, almost
at the point Of bankruptcy, but this

to use the proceeds in paying up q
deficit of such o character and, best OF
all, any one who attends will get his
moneys worth.
At the meeting, the field agent OF
the Colorado State Dairy Commission
explained at length the requirements
of q successful creamery, such as many
nelghbosipg toms already have, Hi.
conclusion was that while Gunnison
had the ideal climate arit<urroundings
for successful dairying, we cuald not
milk cows on horseback and there are
not enough good dairy cows here YET
to justify a creamery. He figured il
would take from 600 to 500 cows
to operate successful cream manuac-
fury in locality like Gunnison. II.
d. Eldridge and o. l.. Hargrove were
appointed committee to look into the
situation.
p. c. Boyles gave an interesting re-
port of his investigation on sidewalks
in our city, and pointed out by chart
the connection blocks lacking to make
the center Of town solid system. BY
adding ten or twelve blocks this sea
sony much will be done toward com.

houses, and the chair appointed Mr.

these matters to the town council.

A few years since the people OF
Carbon county were a unit in the
fight to prevent Morse Bros. from
junking the Saratoga & Encamp-
ment railway.
AS a result of several months
fight and with the assistance of
Senator's Warren and Kendrick and
Congressman Mondell an orange
lLEt vas made whereby the Union
Pacific railroad company o the
road over on a three years option.
For over two years the Union
Pacific has been operating this
railroad but with the very best
management the road has been
operated at a heavy loss.
When the Union Pacific took this
railroad over it was believed that
before the option had expired the
Saratoga reclamation project would
be under course of construction, in
which case there would be sufficient
tonnage to at least make the road
pay operating expenses.
h time is rapidly approaching
for the Union Pacific to either turn
loose of the S. & T.. or else close
the option which was taken upon it.
Under present conditions the Union
Pacific does not feel inclined to pur
chase the road. Should the Union
Pacific let loose of the S. G. f. it
will be mighty difficult to get any
II else to take it over and operate
il.
Right now is the time for every
cltlzen OF the county to get behind
the Saratoga Irrigation project as II
is evident that the starting of this
project is the only thing that can
save the railroad.
In our fight to save this road be
fore we were assisted by Senators
Warren and Kendrick and Congress-
man Mondell and we must again AK
our two senators and Congressman
Winter. who succeeds CONGRESSMAN
Mondell, to assist us.
We are already assured Of tho
assistance OF these gentleman but
our citizens should Immediately
write to each of our congressional
delegation and urge them to secure
some definite action from the Recla-
nation Department.
nat Warren. who has been
active In this matter for the past
lew years. states to The Republican
that he will become even more
active and hopes with the assistance
OF Senator Kendrick and Congress
man Winter to accomplish some
thing.
The following letter written by
president Gray TO Senator Warren
VIII show the desperate need for I'm
mediate action in this matter:
Hon. F. E Warren,
United States Senator,
Cheyenne. Wyoming.
Ny dear Senator Warren:
think you ought to know that
u losses on the operation OF the
