Plans are being made and work go

the people want 10 watch the industry
another year to be absolutely sure
that this is Il safe proposition. Ice is
being cut and stored, crates, etc, plan
ned for according to the acreage re-

county who expect to grow lettuce and
market it thru the Association, who
have not reported their acreage and
should report at once and take out
membership certificates SO that they

The outlook at present is good and
there appears to be no reason why the

be good if everybody stands behind

FARMER PUTNAM's PHILOSOPHY

Agricultural College News Notes.
see where some feller named Tax
payer-My, but there are large fam
lily of 'em now contributin' to the
press-wrote to the Gunnison News
Champion roastin' the county agents
as usual and as follers: Il have seen
some of these agents and so have my
neighbors, and l don't believe they
can perform to our satisfaction. Also
can say that We have gone along
without them since the first COW was
shipped out Of this county, and don't
see why we can't live along without
them a while longer. 1t isn't the
money we would be paying him that
would count so much, but would he
earn it, and why have him around when
We can manage our own affairs?"
l looked up the records on county
agent work, and see where Iowa has
got 80 counties and 80 county agents;
Illinois l02 counties and 92 county
agents; Minnesota Sc counties and 50
county agents; all the New England
states as many agents as counties;
Wyoming, Is counties and Is county
agents, and so on-in all. $500 in this
here United States. And made up
my mind that the farmers in them
other states has got just as much hoss
sense as we have out here and they
would-a quit akin fur county agents
long ago If they didn't need 'em in
their business.
Take the word Of old timer like
me, Brother. l wasn't so darn keen

CURE YOUR OWN PORK. is
ST BJECT OF NEW BULLETIN

Cure Your Own Pork" is the title
OF Bulletin No. 1876 A, just issued by
the Extension Department of the Colo.
rado Agricultural College. IL Is by
Harry II. Smith of the Animal HIs-
bandry department, who in the IN
trOductaJy statement, says:
"A short time ago | was Ia kIng
with the manager of the slaughtC ring
house near Fort Collins, and he Inform.
ed me that during the fall and winter
months many farmers brought hogs
to the slaughter house and hired him
to kill them. Then, after the hogs
were dressed and cut up, the farmers
would take the meat home. The qucs-
ton occurred TO me: "why do the
farmers not kill their own hogs, save
the cost Of having it done, and the
extra amount of time lost in making
the trip to the slaughter house
Why should anyone follow the
practice of selling off all his hogs and
buying meat from the local butchers
at a price which is exceedingly high,
compared with the price obtained from
the live hog? A farmer cannot af-
ford to sell hogs at eight cents pound
and pay 25 cents to 35 cents for
shoulders, hams, bacons and loins.
AT present prices, hog weighing
200 pounds live weight is worth SIG.
II it dresses 75 per cent, which is
about the average, the dressed hog
is worth about eleven cents n pound,
excluding the cost Of labor, which is
not high, as two men can easily kill
and dress eight or ten hogs in half a
day. Will it not pay you TO kill and
cure your own meat ?"
The bulletin gives complete infor-
nation on killing and curing and is
well illustrated, so that directions may
be followed without risk Of mistakes.
All farm families will be interested
in having this bulletin, which is DIS
trbuted free by the Extenson Service.

Dear sIr;-I have just read the

fa an article in NeE-Champion Of Feb.
-Lh where be claims that the grazing
aE EECgp does not hinder the Wild
game. would like 70 refer MIN TO
Jha timber line county a. the head Of
los llnos, where there are several
thousand acres Of swampy land cover
Dd with willows where elk and deer
were plentiful in the summer seasons.
Il was not uncommon TO see fifty or
SIXTY head OF elk in = bunch before
domestic sheep had ranged there a
fcw years Now there il absolutely
nothing in the wild game line to be
found. IL - rs bad as Il Is on the
head Of the Blue creek, where Mr..
WIse admits that he took the frs;
bunch Of sheep some twenty-five years
ago, and he viii not have TO live many
years 10 see the same deplorable
conditions on the north side Of the
Gunnison rIver. Mr.. Wise tells of the
age chickens on Normal hill in the
years lssO-'SO. Perhaps If all Of the
chickens would fly OF Of Normal hill
1t once now, il would darken the sun.
don't know, but do not think that
range j. open to sheep yet. He also
states that the settlers, homesteaders,
etc, are responsible for the disappear
ance of wild game which may be true
20 a small extent, and that is so much
more reason for setting aside a little
corner for a game preserve on the
Gnnison National Forest
kgr L ~ l..
place | can hear Of where game has
held its own in Gunnison county. That
is because the sheep have not had
time to show their effect on that range
as they have only been on that part
two or three years.
Why should the state buy feeding
ground for the game7 Uncle Sam
has lots of domain; he will let US
have the use of it 10 feed the game.
Better spend the money for hay. Now,
Il the game and FISH department has
Sl3l 900, why not put some real live
game wardens in the woods to take
care of those fellows who carry big
guns thru the country and exterminate
the game as they go.
The question: ado sheep scare
wild game more than do cattle is
easy answered. As long rs cattle
have grazed on the range north of
the Gunnison river, IL game would not
range with cattle, then there would
not be an elk or deer on that range,
but we all know that there is lots of
both.
On the other hand, on the south side
Of the river, where the sheep have
not been near as long as the cattle
have been on the north side, there is
10 game worth mentioning, and il
was just "a good game country as
the north side.
You might just as well ask the
French and Germans to kiss and
make up as to expect wild game and
sheep to occupy the same range.
Now, Mr.. Cowan, as you are at the
legislative bat, swat a good one and
make a home run with your game pre-
serve. That is what every red-blood-
ed Cimarron citizen should want /
am not going to ask anyone to excuse
my grammar. Education was not
scarce when was kid, Just neglect
ed TO grab my share.
p. S.-Mr. Editor, if this gets by the
waste basket, ] will not trouble you
any more without your consent.

INSIDE PAGE OF JOURNALISM
Same Thing Has Been Known to Exist
In Other Cities Besides the
French Capital.

Some years ago there were in Paris
two papers, the Razor and the Scor-
pion, which were always attacking
each other. Every week people bought
the Razor to read now it cut at the
Scorpion and then purchased the Scor-
pion to learn how it stung the Razor.
A certain philanthropist feeling
panied to see such animosity dis
played, invited the two editors to dine
in the hope that over a good fare he
could make peace between them. At
the appointed time one lean, melan-
choly man presented himself and was
ushered in. After an interval, as no
other guest appeared, the host de-
manded:
May I ask. are you the editor of
the Razor or the Scorpion?"
Both" said the sad-eyed man.
