The Value of Livestock

Something is wrODg when a man
cannot get out Of a purebrea animal
as much money as he puts into it
in the form Of feed and overhead
And yet such a situation exists today
in Delta county. There was a ten
months old bull calf Of very excellent
character sold recently at a sale for
$3.50. From an experts figuring
there was some better than 500 ex.
pended in raising this calf from birth
to ten months Of age.
Just where the trouble lies is the
question in many minds. It would
appear that II might he an increas-
ing unpopularity Of the dairy in

make It impossible to market desir-
able breeding animals. In the Loesch
Brothers sale held at Grand Junction
recently added evidence Of this was
given. With a full knowledge OF the
high quality of this herd. the local
buyers allowed outside buyers TO
come in here and take this best blood
off the slope without having to nav
one-half Of what It is worth. The
buyers admitted that the animals
they obtained for two and three hun.
dred dollars would cost them one
thousand dollars or more in advanced
dairy sections. And in these advanced
regions farmers know the value OF
quality

logic on. a good dairy COW will make

Fall Flowing VS.. Spring PIowinq

Fall Flowing vs.. Spring Plowina
There are many reasons why fall
plowing should be practiced. Per-
haps there may be times when it
would not be advisable to fail dow
but this is only a question OF distrib-
ution OF labor. If the case shouli ex-
ist in which a farmer could not OBJ
tain the time to fall plow tEen it
would not be practicable But if at
all possible there are benefits to the
soil to an extent to make it advisable.
The physical condition OF the soil is
one Of the most important factors to
be considered in cropping. And Of
all the benefits resulting from fall
plowing. the improved physical con
dition produced is probably the one
Of greatest worth. Crops will grow to
best advantage on a soil in which the
soil particles are arranged in such a
manner that the correct amount Of
air and water can circulate within it
And this structure is produced by the
winrering of soils in a rough pIowed
condition. The soil that is allowed to
lie in a rough furrow all winter will
freeze farther down and the particles
will be gathered in groups Of foculat-
ed, and thus permit the best physical
condition.
From the standpoint OF making
available mineral food elements. fall
plowing also has an advantage. BY
opening up the soil in the fall It is
exposed to the action OF freezing and
thawing and of greater oxidation and
hydration than could occur II it We're
left in a compact condition. Because
Of this greater exposure the elements
held within the particles will be set
free in their breaking down and will
be available to plants in the next
growing season.
One reason for fall ploving that is
perhaps OF greatest value and OF
more general consideration. Is the i'm
provement OF the water content for
the next growing season. When the
soil is left open it is more receptive
to the entrance OF water and also be
cause Of its roughened condition it
is rlOre retsntive Of the moisture aft
EE IL las OlNF EuLtItu IlE SOIL
spaces. Thus the moisture from the
entire winter can be accumulated in
the surface soil where It will be
available to the growing crops the
next year.
II these were not considerations Of
enough importance to encourage fall
plowing then the fact that It permits
a better distribution OF labor in more
cases than not should be considered.
The farmers desire is to be busy
every day in the year, just as any
business or professional man IS busy
every day in the year In the fail
there is apt to be a lapse during the
period between the harvesting OF the
crops and the settling OF winter Of
the work on the farm. and this is the
space that should be filled in with in
tensive fall blowing.

Both State and Local Taxes
Show an Amazing Increase
VIII Payne in Saturday Evening Post

Il don't believe many Americans under
stand how fast we are using up our margin.
The public money doesn't go into a reservoir,
but into sieve.
For example, I took off my hat to Pres
ident Harding for his budget reform and his
efforts at economy and retrenchment gener-
ally. Exact comparisons are out of the
question, but doubt that any predecessor
OF his back to George Washington made a
better record in that regard perhaps none
As good. The federal tax bill was reduced
from 5 billion dollars in l22. When you
consider that getting a reduction in appropria-
tons out of any bunch of ofhceholders is
about the same as getting blood out OF a
turnip you will agree that this slash of 2
billion dollars was a notable feat.
But while federal taxes were reduced by
, billion dollars from 1910 to 1922 state and
local taxes were increased more than l bill
lion dollars. In Just these three years half
Of the big saving in federal taxes was shot
away in increased state and local taxes.
Put it another way. In spite OF the big
slash in Washington the total tax bill IN
1922 was sixty-fve dollars head OF the
population against twenty-three dollars a
head in 1913-nearly three times as much a
head. although the war was over five years
ago.
State and local governments had very
little to do with the war. The cost OF that
fell almost wholly on the federal government
But in 1913 taxes collected by state and local
governments came to 1926 million dollars,
while in 1922 they came to T. l47 million dol
lars-not far from the three-fold increase in
nine years.
The trouble with us in this affair is not
war-any more than wars the trouble with
Tommy Smith when he borrows money on
his life isurance policy to buy his wife new
fur coat.
This increase Of one billion dollars in
state and local taxes since 1910 is nearly SO
per cent more than it cost to run the federal
government before the And in spite OF
the Harding economies it cost four times as
much to run the federal government as it did
before the war. About l billion dollars OF
that increase represents interest on the war
debt; but deduct that and still the cost OF
the federal government in 1922 was almost
three times what it was in 1913. What's
the use OF blaming that on the war;"

Coming Back South.

Robert T. Small, we'll known newspaper
correspondent, writing from Jacksonville,
Fla. describes the return of the negro to the
southland after bitter experiences in the north
and east, where he went TO compete with
white labor and to face the rigors OF CHI
mate to which he was not accustomed The
great return movement, declares Mr.. Small
has begun. and while it is somewhat differ
ent from the migration northward which was
aided by industrial agents who provided rail-
road tickets in addition to glowing descrp-
tons OF a promised land, it is none the less
effective in illustrating the desire of the ne
groes for their own homeland.
The negroes went north in droves; they
are drifting back in twos and threes, but the
stream is constant. Thousands have al
ready forsaken the great industrial districts
where insufficient homes and bitter cold made
their life unbearabe These found that the
sunny south, after all, was one that appealed
strongly.
As Mr. Small put it. ''in the end the migra-
tory movement will not have been without it's
blessings on both sides" He goes on to
saw that ''the ignorant colored farm hand OF
the south will have learned there is compar-
atively little he can do in the north III com
petition with white labor, and the white peo-
Ole of the south will do much more to make
their lot a contented one"

Approaching responsibilities.
From the New York Herald.

Last year the American people insured
their lives for nearly $12,000000000, adding
that amazing sum to the total of insurance
already in force. Reports sent to the De-
partment of Commerce by the Association
OF Life Insurance Presidents show that in
each of the chief branches of their bust
ress 1923 showed a substantial gain over the
preceding year.
This is an impressive revelation of Amer
lean thrift, foresight and family devotion. A
multitude of American bread winners bene-
flied from rising wages not only for them
selves but for their dependents. Instead
of gratifying desires OF the moment they put
part OF their savings into that blessed pool
from which so many widows and orphans
draw the means of existence. Resolutely
they set aside the fruits of their toll and
shrewdness to purchase the security OF their
homes and health, happiness and opportunity
for their loved ones.
In these myriad self sacrificng parents
practicing intelligent and steady-going thrift
for their childrens sake may be found the
one best answer to pessimists who deplore
the decay of morals the breakup of the
home and impending doom of the nation
