Answer: The batter may return ia

forcing runner. The runner who is
forced is out. In this case there is NJ

batter runs toward first the next bat.
ter steps into the batter's box. Catch
er has the ball and throws it to the
first baseman. The latter steps on first
and the umpire calls the runner out
because he was forced out by the next

Is that right?
Answer: Most certainly not. Thu
batter originally given a base on ball'
is entitled TO first. The batter behind
him is of no consequence until hi
actually makes a play. Stepping int
the batter's box is not a play.
Question "a" says that it is mo-
legal for an outfielder to use a frs
baseman's glove. "B" says it is.
Answer: a. is right. The outfield
er must use n glove smaller than thu
legal glove for the first baseman al
though the first baseman can play
with any size glove or without one il
he wishes to do so.

DRY LAND FARMS WHICH MADE
NO PROVISION FOR DAIRY
CATTLE, CHICKENS OR PIGS
COMPRISE MAJORITY OF THE
PAST TWO YEARS FAILURES.

Agricultural experts have long
urged Colorado farmers to increase
their stocks of dairy cattle, hogs and
poultry as the surest means of Win
ming success in the non-irrigated
areas of the state, and the record Of
the past year has afforded impress
sive evidence of the wisdom of their
advice. Reports of county assessors
to the State immigration department
for 1923 show that, while the num-
Der of farms being operated in the
state was more than five percent be-
low the number for 1922, the num-
Der of brood sows on the farms had
increased approximately five percent,
the number Of hens by about the
same percentage and the number of
dairy cattle by nearly nine percent.
The decrease in the number Of
farms operated was due almost who'll
ly to the low prices for farm pro-
ducts, particularly wheat. 1t appears
from the figures, than the farmers
who temporarily abandoned their
farms in 1923 in order to win larg-
er revenue in other lines Of endeavor
had not taken the advice Of the ex-
perts about dairy cattle, hogs and
poultry. In the face of the decrease
in number of farms operated there
was an increase in each of these
classes Of livestock, indicating that
the abandoned farms had never been
stocked.
Information obtained from asses
sors and other sources indicate that
nearly all the farms that were tenn
porarily abandoned last year had
been devoted in previous years to the
cultivation Of wheat, either as the
principal crop or the only crop. Many
Of them were farmed for the first
time during the war, in 1917 and
1918, when the government was urg-
ing farmers to raise more wheat and
when prices were abnormally high.
Wheat acreage in this state began
to increase rapidly in 1917 and con-
tinued to increase even until 1922.
Much Of the increase was due to IN
creased acreage cultivated by farm
ers who had been growing wheat reg
ularly, but a considerable amount of
it was due to the establishment of
new farm units in the non-irrigated
areas of eastern Colorado, on which
wheat was about the only crop
grown.
But there was a sharp decrease in
wheat acreage in 1928. This was due
The Arvada enterprise., 1924-02-21
COLORADO FARMS WITH COWS.
HOGS AND CHICKENS PROSPER

largely to unfavorable weather con-
ditions, but it was also partly due to
the retirement of considerable
number of the exclusive wheat farm
ers. These farmers had never intro
duced poultry, dairy cattle and hogs
on their farms, and when the price
of wheat dropped below 80 cents in
Colorado, they found they were un-
able to continue operations at a pro-
fit. Many of these temporarily aban-
doned farms are being operated
again this year, but in almost every
case, corn and other stock feeds are
being made the principal crops and
dairy cattle, hogs and chickens are
being introduced.

ASPHALT PAVEMENT is
POPULAR IN THE CITIES

More and more asphalt pavements
are being laid where the traffic Is
heaviest every year. With the eX-
perience Of New York, where Fifth
avenue, said to be the busiest street
in the world, as far as traffic is con-
cerned, to guide them, cities all over
the country are increasing their as
phalt streets.
According to statistics, the paved
streets of 29O American cities, merg-
ed into a single great highway 1S
feet wide, would extend in a contin-
uous pavement for distance Of 56,-
974.8 miles, or enough to more than
twice encircle the globe.
These 29O cities, which comprise
65.S percent of the 53,898,3S5 urban
population Of the United States, re-
port total Of 6O1, 1,653,347 square
yards of pavement. OF this 469,-
463,113 square yards, or 78 percent,
are of types higher than waterbound
macadam. These higher types in
turn comprise percentages of the to-
tai types higher than waterbound
macadam as follows: Asphaltic types,
53.9 per cent; brick, 21.9 per cent;
stone block, 11.6 percent; wood block
3.3 percent; Portland cement con-
crete, SIS percent; tar macadam, 2.5
per cent; miscellaneous, 1.3 percent.
In the 65 cities of 100000 popula-
tion or more reporting, the asphaltic
types comprise $40 percent of the
total yardage of pavements higher
than waterbound macadam. The per-
centage for the other types higher
than waterbound macadam are as fol-
lows: Brick, 1919 per cent; wood
block, 4 percent; stone block, 14.5
percent; Portland cement concrete,
3.5 percent; tar macsdam, 1.S per-
cent; miscellaneous, Ia percent.
Asphalt streets wear we'll, are cas-
lily repaired when repairs are neces-
sary, are noiseless, smooth, water
proof preventing drainage troubles)
and resist stresses caused by temper
ature changes, all Of which reasons
contribute to the popularity Of this
material for city pavements.
