LAND MOSTLY
IN WESTERN COLORADO
STOCK Raising. SO Acre Act Re-
sPonsibie for Immense Area Being
Recently Taken Up.

Latest available reports show that
there D. now in Colorado 9,.53.2ls
acres Of unrcseryed and inappropriate
Ell land, popularity known as home
stead land. This Is ll5s per cent of
the states total area, and Is compared
with 1881 1868 acres a year ago, or
ll-9s per cent Of the states area
Eight years ago there was approxi-
mately 5000, 900 acres Of unappropri-
ated and unreserged homestead l4nd
in the state. The stock raising home
stead act was passed by Congress in
December 1916, permitting the entr,

single entryman when the land fell
under certain classifcations. Most Of
Of the remaining homestead land in
Colorado fell under such classifcations
and within three years from the date
the act became effective, more than
100000 acres Of Colorado land had
been filed upon. In the mex; two year,
nearly 1000 900 acres additional We're
hlcd upon, but since that time entries
have been very few and a considerable
amount Of land previously eutereSt.
has been relinqui he'd. At the present
time comparatively few filings are be-
! ing made
Nearly all the land yet remaining
open to homestead entry in this state
! is In the mountain counties and on
the western slope Of the main range.
In the eastern plains counties there
remains less than 200 coo acres. near
I ly all Of which Is in isolated tracts, far
below the size OF q homestead. Rio
GraHde and MOfFit counties have larg-
or acTeages Of homestead land than
any other counties, the former having
.lO3,57j acres, or 53.5 per cent of It's
total area, and the latter i,303, ,235
acres, or 1911 per cent Of its area
Most Of this land is from % to so
miles from any railroad and can not
be profitably developed at this time.
A large amount of the land yet re-
naming open 20 entry is waste and of
very little agricultural value under es-
isting conditions.
There also remains in the state over
$500, 900 acres of land not classified
as TO ownership, most of which con-
sists Of homestead land that has been
entered but not yet proved up. In re-
cent years homestead land to the
amount Of more than 1000 900 acres
has been patented annually in Colo
RADIO and the amount yet being patent
ed j. large. The amount of homestead
land being proved up, however, is de;
creasing rather rapidly each year and
is expected to fall below 100000 acres
annually within three years. ~

EGGS FOR HATCHING MUST
BE HANDLED WITH CARE
(By o. c. Krum, Poultry Specialist
Agricultural College.)

(By o. c. Krum, Poultry Specialist
Agricultural College.)
At the time an egg is laid, the germ
is smaller than the eye can see and is
located within a ring visible on tho
surface of the yolk. II is very deli
cate and improper handling of the
egg before it is set that may kill this
germ.
Eggs to be set should be gathered
several times daily to prevent chilling
or starting" by a broody hen. The
nests should be kept clean, a wire
mesh bottom nest which let's the dir,
out being best The eggs should no,
be gathered in weak receptacies in
which they crush or jar together a;
this causes fine cracks. They should
not be washed as this opens the pores
and allows the egg to evaporate
Scrape the dirt off and do not sci
those which have been dirty.
Keep them at a temperature OF
from fifty to sixty degrees. At sixty,
eight they will start to hatch and il
not put under hen at once will
probably die. Do not put them into
dusty material as this will close the
pores and smother the chick later. A
basement is much better than a dry
room. Do not hold the eggs over
days before setting; five days is much
safer.

with inclement weather. the germ in
the egg will be weak at the time it iE
laid and will not hatch out well.
1t is always advisable to pick out a
pen Of breeders rather than breed
from everything in the vaerage farm
flock. No late maturing or under
developed pullets or males should be
included in this pen, nor should any
hens or roosterS which are very old
over-fat, or show signs of sickness or
weakness be allowed.
The breeders should be given plenty
of room in the house and be allowed
TO run out as soon as the weather and
ground will permit. Their quarters
should be kept clean and well ventilat'
ed. They should be fed a properly
balanced ration. Dry mash should be
kept in a trough where the hens can
help themselves to il, but wet mash
should not be fed, as it has a tendency
TO be weakening. The birds should be
induced to take all the exercise pos
sible thru light morning feeding OF
grain in a deep, dry, clean litter. A,
night they should be fed all the grain
they will clean up.

When the fiscal year ended Decen-
b. FIRST, 1923, the books showed all
debts paid and 4 surplus on hand OF
over $500, and all property and
equipment fully paid for During the
year. growers IN the Buena Vista dis
tTct received over s65, 900 and Buena
Vista labor received over 5000. This
makes a total Of over So, 900 Of out
side money brot into Buena Vista be-
tween July and December /. The
total which the First National Bank
o. Buena Vista handled for the as
S0c!atiOn the past year was approx
nately $4,000. and in addition TO
this, the American Fruit Growers
carried large account with the local

The Buena Vista district shipped a
total Of ia cars of produce the pas:
s"ason, which included 10000 crates
OF lettuce, 1900 crates of cauiifiower
and 400 crates Of peas.
Prospects for this year look bright

Of these contracts have come back
signed. II is up TO the growers to
sign up and do so at once.
IL there is any reason why any
grower don't want TO sign. they should

Perhaps some points could be ex-
planned that growers do not under

Why SUFFER 50?
Get Back Your Health as Other
Gunnison Folks Have Done

Too many people suffer lame, ach-
ing backs, distressing kidney disorders
and rheumatic aches and pains. Often
this is due to faulty kidney action and
there danger of hardened arteries,
dropsy, gravel or Bright's disease.
Don't let weak kidneys wear you out.
Use Doan's Pills before it is too late!
Doan's are a stimulant diuretic to
the kidneys. Doan's have helped
thousands. Here is one Of many cases
in this locality.
A. C. Freeman, retired farmer, los
S. First St., Montrose, Colo, says:
"I had no control over the passages
of the kidney secretions and my back
was lame. I used Doan's Pills and
they kept me from getting laid up.
When my back gets weak, resort to
Doan's and they soon help me -

LOTS OF LETTUCE IN
NORTHWESTERN COLORADO

Steamboat Springs Pilot
From two to three hundred acres Of
head lettuce. fifty acres Of garden
peas. twenty acres Of cauliflower. fif-
teen acres of cabbage planted near
Steamboat Springs is the forecast be-
ing made for the summer by Frank
Muench, head OF the Mountain Head
Lettuce Association. Mr.. Muench pre-
diets that garden products viii be
rolling out of Steamboat Springs in
mixed carload lots, and before many
years thinks it a safe guess that it
will be trainload lots. Truck garden
ing will prove profitable in this coun-
try, for the crisp, fragrant air and
abundance of sunshine makes garden
crops in Northwestern Colorado of n
flavor and delicacy that brings n de-
mand from all parts of the country.
1t has been definitely proven that
head lettuce raised in Routt county
is of extra high quality and it is in
big demand Mr.. Muench has receiv-
ed many inquiries regarding head let
tuce and several firms want the pri-
vilege of handling the crops.

DORMANT SEASON BEST FOR
PRU MING OF SHADE TREES

News Notes, Agricultural College,
Hardly season passes in temp
crate region that the need Of shade
tree pruning is not demonstrated.
This was the case especially during
the last autumn and early winter
when a heavy fall of wet snow practic-
ally ruined many shade trees, and
sadly disfigured great many more
in Colorado.
Pruning for increasing a trees re-
sistance to storms is best when done
annually and in moderation rather
than at long intervals and heavily.
The best time for pruning is during
the dormant season, especially in late
winter and early spring, as then the
crown of the tree is free from foliage
which would interfere with a clear
view of the limbs in summer. Sum-
mer pruning is called for where the
lower limbs droop during the growing
season, and interfere with the free
use of paths and sidewalks; also the
limbs that have a tendency to grow
abnormally long may be shortened at
this time.
A careful study Of the crown of
each tree is needed before any prrn-
phg is done, as each individual tree
presents a special problem. In gen.
eral the object is to build up a pleas
ing form natural to the species of the
tree and secure at same time strength
to bear the stress of storms. This is
possible in the highest degree only
when the tree is given proper atten-
tion in early age. Crotches in trunk,
which are always a weak spot in a
tire, should be prevented by removal
Of one branch of fork in the leader
a soon as it appears. A leader
which is inclined to shoot up too tall
and slender should be topped just
above a smaller, upright branch, while
lateral branches too long and slender
should be shortened in the same man
ner. Judicious annual pruning will
usually obviate necessity Of cutting
of large limbs, and the wounds made
in latter case are the only ones in
need of painting with wood prcsery-
ative in our climate.

The little home" argument of Stroller Whites isn't so bad after all. But suppose, Stroller, some it. literate owning an equally modest little home" were to run for Dele gate to Congress?
 * * *
 Judge E. E. Ritchie, Federal Judge of the Third Division, roasted the Grand Jury there because they did not indict any fishermen for violat- ing the laws whereas they indicted only Cannerymen and Trapmen.
 * * * * *
 That's all right, Judge, everyone has the right to stick up for his own friends.
 However, criticism like that Judges is not fair unless he is willing to say "The evidence placed before the Grand Jury, to my certain knowledge, ample to justify the return of true bills against fishermen" Instead of that, the Judge says: "It has come to be from several sources that the grand jury has adopted as a policy the ignoring of bills against individuals and the indictment of cannery and saltery owners" Let us know the "sources," Judge.

SNAP SHOTS

The argument Stroller White ad vances to support the candidacy of Frank Boyle is that MT. Boyle owns a little home in Juneau while Dan Sutherland does not. That is about as deep as the Stroller ever gets in his thinking. The Stroller has not informed us what the line of argu- ment really is, whether MT. Boyle would make an even better Delegate to Congress if he had a big home in Juneau, or had two homes in Juneau, or what would happen if MT. Boyle had the home in Ketchi- kan.
 Then again, suppose Mr. Boyle should get elected and then should sell his little home in Juneau; would MT. Boyle immediately lose all his merit?
 Or else, if we should vote for Mr. Boyle because he has a little home in Juneau, would MT. Boyle promise on oath that he would keep his little IlOIle III JuIcdu. It WOulU uOC Do right for MT. Boyle to get our votes on the strength of his little home in Juneau unless the said Boyle should promise to keep the said little home in Juneau. And then again if he did not get elected, would we have the right to say that Stroller is as sore as a Boyle? What?
 < * * *
 The Democratic Papers of Juneau and Ketchikan are saying that Dan Sutherland is not advocating State hood for Alaska because Dan does not want Statehood We'll, Dan is for Statehood all right, but he knows the demand for statehood is as fool ish as barking at the moon.
 
 The truth of the matter is that if Alaska were State, John w. Troy would have to say, "How do you do, Senator," and that would be tough
