TWO IMPORTANT PROBLEMS

Sn.cialLst.-

B. W Fairbanks, Extension Livestock
Specialist
The two important problems Of the
native range territory Of the West ere
the increasing Of the stock carrying
capacity of the ranges and the selec-
tion of the cheapest and best methods
Of wintering the stock. Each separate
section OF the country has its own
specific problems.
The native range lands of the Unit
ed States lie west of the Tooth merid-
ian. These regions are designated as
the Great Plains, Rocky Mountains,
Great Basin, South West, and Pacific
Coast Colorado is a part Of the Great
Plains and Rocky Mountain regions.
Eastern Colorado west 10 the foot
hills of the Rockies is a part of the
Great Plains. 1t is generally level
with u gradual slope to the east. In
this region grazing is still an import
ant industry although the amount Of
dryland farming and irrigation Is m
creasing. In many sections cultivated
plants frequently fail because of linn
tied rainfall, low cir humidity, drying
winds and high evaporation. Adverse
climatic conditions may affect the ma
tive grasses temporarily but they do
not eSterminate them. The soil of the
Great Plains region is generally good
and il affords excellent grazing Due
to the distance to water and the mad
equate water supply this region is not
fully stocked. In order to increase the
amount of grazing the facilities for
furnishing water must be increased,
the methods of handling the stock
should be improved, and the present
winter feeds should be supplemented.
Colorado is also a part OF the Rocky
Mountain Region. This is composed
of valley and basin land varying in ell
ovation from 5000 to 1000 feet and
mountain ranges from 5000 to 1900
feet high. This region is usually well
watered, but often has short grow
ing season, due to its high elevation.
The soil is generally good The ma
tive forage is of superior character,
being choice and tender, and the graz
ing of livestock is the chief agriculture
al pursuit. The long, continuous and
cold winters necessitate long winter
feeding.

FESTUCA ELATlOR, A FANCY
NAME FOR COARSE GRASS

Agricultural College News Notes.
Festuca Elatior is the Latin name
for meadow fescue. The grass is
recognized as valuable meadow
grass. Even as a pasture grass il is
described as somewhat coarse with a
broad, fiat blade. Like all other fes-
cues it is bunch and not compact,
sod-forming grass. Its color is
good, altho less pleasing than that of
Kentucky blue grass.
Since the chief things desired in a
lawn grass are good color, fine blades
and sod-forming habit, it can readily
be seen that Festuca Elatior should
not be purchased for lawn grass.
Its cost varies from Is to 25 cents a
pound for small quantities. During
the past several years there have been
efforts to sell this grass for lawns by
offering it to agents for s1.10 per b.,
or post paid to individuals at sl.25 per
pound by concealing the fact that it is
meadow fescue by the use of its Latin
name.

COLORADO RESIDENTS
ENTITLED TO TIMBER

Many residents of Colorado appar-
emily do not know that they are en-
titled TO $4,000 worth Of timber from
the vacant government lands each
year free of charge, according to IL.
Segur, Timber Cruiser Tor the u. S.
General Land Office, who was in Gun
nison this week.
In order to procure timber from the
vacant government lands lawfully, 1t
is necessary to make application in
writing to Mr.. Ralph S. Kelly, Chief
of Field Division, General Land Office,
Box 500, Denver, Colorado, giving a
description of the lands by section,
township and range, from which the
timber is to be procured; kind and
quantity of timber desired, whether
fuel, fence posts, derrick poles, corral
poles, etc, who is to use it and for
what purposes. The letter should be
sent by registered mail and the receipt
kept by the applicant for proof that
he has complied with the laws. II is
unlawful to sell or exchange timber
which has been taken or removed from
the vacant lands. 1t is unlawful to re-
move timber from homestead or other
entered lands where proof has not been
submitted. In case saw timber is de-
, sired it is necessary for the mill OPP
orator to have special license. The
government makes no charge for tim
Der which is to be removed from the
vacant public lands, but requires
strict observtnce Of the regulations.
Cutting timber from such lands with
out complying with the law consti-
tutes q trespass against the United
States and renders the offender liable
to action in the United States courts.

Techs bali team needs q pitcher
or else its coach is a very kind
hearted chap who fain would hurt
the feelings Of lad by yanking
him unceremoniously from the hill.
A long-legged! long-armed young
ster named Tew handed to Western
with the most unreserved generosity
7.to-2 victory In the opening game
OF the high school championship
series.
To say that Western could have
won the game without a single
batter welding his stick is close
to the truth. Young Tew passed
four and hit two batters in one
inning, but was allowed to continue
on his uneven way.
Tew's pitching mechanism was
all out Of gear throughout the game,
but 1t was in particularly bad
shape in the third, when he issued
the four Oakleys and hit the two
batters. These six free tickets were
augmented by wild heave by him.
self to cut off runner at home,
which allowed an additional runner
to score. 1t was"a three-run hitless
rally for Western.
Yep, 1t was a rough day for Tew.
He gave nine bases on balls and
socked three batsmen. He bounced
the ball off Knabel's dome in the
third and retired this youth from
the game. 1t was also a rough day,
in a different way, for Western.
McGahey, the Western, pitcher,
had lots of stuff and used it prop.
erly. He got much better support
than his rival, too. In fact, II
appeared strongly that Western had
a smarter team than Tech In every
way.
McGahey yielded three hits and
gave four passes.

- A flying start may make
the Griffmen contenders, despite
the strength Of their opponents.
We have been told that the Yam
KEGS have a cinch on the 1924
pennant, that the Cleveland In
dams never looked so good, that
Ty Cobb's Detroit Tigers are sure
to battle for the flag, that Con-
ME Mack's team is once more out
to win "a pennant. Fine-but
what of it?
A flying start, which seems
almost assured, though the Griffs
must play their first eight games
with the rejuvenated Mackmen
and the world champion New
York Yankees.
The Griffs are as good as the
Mackmen or the Yankees, if they
do but think it so. If they will
fight as hard against them as
they did against the Giants and
Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds
down in Florida, they will hold
their own and succeed in making
their flying start.
The pennant decision is long,
long distance away. Eight clubs
are seeking it and he would be,
indeed, a wise man who could
name the final standing of the
clubs today.

Ready for Campaign.


THE Griffmen are ready for
the opening of the 1924 cam
u paign next Tuesday. After
gazing at them for five weeks
we should say that, everything
breaking even, the Griffs should
make a flying start. Just how
long they will be able to main
tain a fast pace is on the knees
of the gods.
One thing is very much in their
favor-they have plenty of good
pitchers. A strong hurting staff
means a lot in the spring before
the batsmen find their eyes.
Success over the first two
months of, the campaign may
mean all the difference in the
world to the team. The athletes
will take themselves seriously.
Their morale, already high, will
be even higher. They will be
hard to beat.
The schedule may help the
Griffs. Their first eight games
are at Georgia avenue, affording
them long morning practice. Thir-
teen out of their first twenty-five
games are at home and this is
followed by nineteen straight
games at home through the
month of May.
