RABIES IN SOUTHERN COLORADO

An outbreak of rabies among coy
otes, bobcats, and dogs exists in Colora-
do, on the southern end of the San
Isabel forest and adjacent areas. This
is the first time the disease has made
its appearance in the state since the
inauguration of predatory animal c9a,
troll aud eradication work. Up to the
middle of January approximately 81 900
worth of livestock has been killed in
this section from attacks of rabid
predatory animals or dogs, and per-
sons have been bitten. To check the
spread of the disease a systematic
eradication campaign against all preda-
tory animals and stray dogs is being
carried out by the Biological survey of
the United States department of Agri-
culture in cooperation with state, and
local organizations. Three hunters and
one biological assistant have been
placed in this area and more hunters
will be added if necessary. A fourth
hunter has been detailed to prevent
the spread of the disease eastward to
Pueblo.

keted. A ton Of alfalfa fed to a re-
sponsive COW will make sixty (60)
pounds Of butterfat; it will cost $40
per ton to ship that hay to Denver,
but it will cost only $1.25 to ship the
butterfat.
An acre Of beets in good ground
will net $50 to $75 at $40 per ton
above all costs; an acre Of pasture will
support a cow seven months and
good cow will bring in at least $5 a
month which would be $35 or ten per
cent on $3.50. At present prices sheep
will crowd the dairy cow very closely.
Chickens and hogs will take care of
the grain. There are no crop failures
here; farmers in the east must look
out for such things and hose seasons
the use because Of the high cost Of
feed.
There is no good cause for the pres
ent epidemic of the blues. Just adapt
yourselves and the farms to the new
requirements. The erection of pump
kin factory at Delta was mistake
it should have been milk condensary;
eastern districts cannot compete with
the west in the production of such
products.
Another big handicap to the farmers
here is that there are so many small
places owned by non-residents; they
are usually run down and their care
looked after by agents. A run down
farm attracts only the run down farm
er who farms in a make shift way;
they allow the water to run continu-
ously, causing seep to all lands adjacent
and also causing a higher degree of
insect and weed growth. We have no
law yet which will put an end to this
nuisance. We might do it by using
the methods of the I. W. W. to put a
good farmer out.
Another handicap is the fact that
but few of the farmers have the money
with which to buy stock. A ten per
cent interest rate and $500 land will
not work with any system of farming
Unless there is change there will con-
tinue to be poor farming operations

HOME LIFE NEEDED BY BOYS

The one thing that the American boy
needs today that he hasn't got is a
real home life, declared Franz Il.
Cheley, district mant ger of the Ameri-
can Educational society, in addressing
the homo and ejucation department Of
the Denver Woman s club On the sub
ject, "The Youth of the Nation"
"The so-called American boy prob
lem is constantly increasing" declared
Mr.. Cheley. delinquency among
boys has doubled in the last five years
in spite of the growing efforts of rr-
CARNATIONS devoted to boy welfare
work.
"There is just one answer. The
modern boy needs the Boy Scouts, the
Y. NJ. c. A., and other groups devoted
to his interests, but let us not fool
ourselves into thinking that nothing
more is required. We need trained,
parenthood and home that functions
for that boy.
"There are 10000 American boys in
reform schools and this number is
growing at the rate of 10000 every
year. The big reason for that is tho
disintegration of the American home.
Over 80 per cent of the boys confined
at the state institution at Golden came
from disrupted homes.
"The proper definition of home is,
a garden, because garden suggests a
place where something alive is growing
and unfolding and expanding and get
ting to its fruitage. A home is a
place that meets the physical, mental,
moral, spiritual and social needs of the
boy as these needs develop, stimulat-
ing him to be an Independent, self
propelling and social being. The aver
age parent in the average home does
not meet these needs.
"There was day when the home
was social center, but the social
heart of the home is gone. The Amer
ican boy buys his entertainment today
because his mother and father do not
know how to entertain him."

HOOVER OPPOSED TO coMBINA.
TON CONTROLLING RADIO

Washington, March Secretary
Hoover, in statement today, said it
would be "most unfortunate for the
people of this country" if radio
oroadcasting should come within the
control of any single corporation, in
dividual or combination.
The commerce department, over
which Mr.. Hoover presides, has charge
of the issuance of license for broad
casting. He emphasized his desire not
to express any opinion on particular
issues" involving the subject which
recently have been brought before the
courts and the federal trade commission
in litigation in connection with patents
on broadcasting devices.
II am in receipt of many requests
The Glenwood post., 1924-03-13

for my views as to issues now before
the courts bearing on the control Of
radio broadcasting," he said. "While
it is impossible for me to express any
opinion on particular issues that are
before the courts or the federal trade
commission, I can state emphatically
that it would be most unfortunate for
the people of this country to whom
broadcasting has become an important
incident of life, if its control should
come into the hands of any single cor
poration, individual or combination. 1t
would be in principle the same as
though the entire press Of the country
was so controlled.
"The effect would be identical
whether this control arose under a
patent monopoly or any form Of COM
bination, and from the standpoint of
the peoples interest, the question of
whether OF not the broadcasting is for
profit is immaterial In the licensing
system, put in force by this depart
ment, the life of broadcasting licenses
is limited to three months, 80 that no
vested right can be obtained either in
wave length or license. 1 believe
it is safe to say, irrespective Of claims
under patent rights on apparatus, that
broadcasting will not cease and neither
will our public policy allow it to be-
come monopolized.

VALUABLE SUGGESTIONS

We profit by our mistakes and the
mistakes of others, provided we are
wise. The blunders of the present
teach US how to better anticipate the
future and prepare for its RESPONSE
bilities. If we have made mistakes in
the past, why continue those mistakes
into the future. Wise men are willing
to learn, and to be guided by the ex-
periences of others. Efforts along q
certain line by one man, that have
proved unproductive, will probably be
as fruitless when tried out by some
other man.
Thought must enter into our efforts,
and whether our line of business is
farming or merchandising, we should
try to govern our activities along
reasonable lines, adopt a program that
will measure up to such a test.
If things go wrong and there is no
visible profit, we are inclined to won
der what is the matter, but altogether
too few of US are willing to sit down
and reason it out from cause to effect.

Western Colorado Beet Grower which

space, in the hope that it may be pro-
ductive of thought which may lead to

need little help in getting out. Mr..
Piatt 8 letter is as follows:

persons getting ahead and actually
making good from the farms. l have
always noticed that those who do so
were not roaring very much about spe-
cial privilege or graft, and l have
about come to the conclusion that there
is no poor country; that the reason so
many farmers fail is because they do
not use the lands for those things for
which they are best adapted, while
Others in the same localities are max
ing good but doing things in a differ
ent way, and it is very common for
those who are failures to hinder or
knock those who are making good.
From their point of view the nut who
is trying some new method will go
broke.
1t seems as though every tongue is
just now contending THAT there is no
money in farming in this country, and
the way the most of them go at it
there isn't. I know from observation
and experience that almost every one
can succeed if they will follow the sys-
tenn advocated by the Western Colo
RADIO Beet Grower, but there are handi-
caps which must be overcome before
much progress will be made.
The first settlers here started wrong
and have been going wrong ever since
they were attracted here by historical
literature which led them to believe
that few acres in fruit or truck
would afford living. About nine out
of ten who have tried that have gone
broke and they are stumped as to what
to do; there is no system of diversified
farming that will enable a family to
live off Of few acres. Neither il
there any system which will pay when
land values are too high. This is Colo.
RADIO. Those who have paid 5000 to
$500 per acre for land which would
grow no more fruit or truck than the
land nearer a large market which can
be bought for half that price must
necessarily fail.
The only time there is a market for
our fruit or truck is when there Ia a
failure or short crops farther east.
which happens about once in eyery
three to five years. In growing those
crops the situation is worse now than
ever and will continue in the same di.
rection; we will never have much lower
freight rates with the high wages now
prevailing and everything which goes
into making Of railroad is getting
scarce and higher in price, and any
lower freight rate can only last short
time.
Therefore, the only solution is for us
to make these farms larger so that
they will support a bunch Of live stock.
through which the crops can be mar.

|MIDWESTS WELL
BIG OIL CUSHER
Lake Basin Field Proves oil When
Hepp Well is Brought In as Big
Gusher.

Gusher production of a high grade
of oil has been encountered In the
Hepp well Of the Midwest Refining
company on the Big Lake structure Of
the Lake Basin, 80 miles northwest Of
Billings in Saltwater county. Present
indications give the we'll status of the
most important discovery in Montana,
say experienced oil men.
The we'll blew itself in at 8 o'clock
Monday night and under the impetus
Of tremendous gas pressure 1t gushed
over the top Of an 84-foot derrick at
intervals of between three and four
hours during the night.
Early Tuesday morning crew Of.
ere Mid-Northern Oil company sub
sidiary Of the Midwest, which has.
been drilAng tbs lease, succeeded in
ahrtl,g the oil in by use Of swedge
, 4pple.
While officials Of the Mid-Northern
would make no estimate of productions
rapidity with which the casing fills
makes estimate Of 1900 barrels day
seem conservative.
The oil was found first Sunday aft
ernoon at debth OF 1924 feet, when
the drilling crew, upon encountering
a hard sand lowered the baiIer and
brought 1t up half full of oil Opera
tors, officials Of the Mid-Northern
were notified. Preparations were being
made to run string of six and five
eight inch casing inside Of the eight
inch, which rests some 500 feet above
bottom Of the hole, and at o'clock
Monday afternoon the crew noted the
oil rapidly rising In the hole. Three
hours later oil flowed over the top, and
within very short time came the first
eruption, an eight-inch stream Of or
ange-hued liquid, spectacular sight
in the light of the two flares burning
at each side Of the we'll to relieve gas
pressure encountered in the upper
horizons. Three hours later the erup.
tion was repeated and then at inter-
walls during the night until installation
of swedge nipple shut flow in the
eruptions were continued.
The sand in which the oil was en-
countered appears very hard, like
lime" as one operator interested in a
large way In the structure described it.
Since tools we're pulled out Of the hole
before the bit had penetrated more
than foot of the sand, 1t Is impossible
to estimate as to just what extent the
well has blown itself. Establishment
Of oil channels to the hole and con-
sequent lessening of the resistance
may bring flush production up to
very high figure, while on the other
hand shallow sand might have the
opposite effect. There Is no log of
wells In the whole area on which es-
innate of depth of the producing sand,
the Dakota, can be based.

CAMPA CAN USE MORE ACTIVE WORKERS
Crews Fighting Big
Fires Raging West

Missoula, May 1.-TWO menacing
forest fires, one spreading over 150
acres on Pilgrim creek, in the Cabi-
net forest, and the other covering
more than 800 acres in the vicinity of
Perkins lake in the Pend D'Oreille for
est, are the most serious blazes in dis
trict number | of the forest service,
according to reports received at dis
trict headquarters here.
The Pilgrim creek fire, which is
BURNING in newly planted areas and
in dry standing timber, double in
size Sunday. A strong wind said to
have carried 1t out of the control Of
stlh.e crew Of 18 men fighting 1t.
The Perkins lake blaze is the only
one of the five that has been burning
in the Pend D'Oreille that was not
subdued.
A fire on the Lolo forest, discov-
cred Saturday and reported to head
quarters had covered only seven acres
Of government land when 1t was ex-
tinguished. 1t had burned over some
private land before getting into the
government timber.
Smokers are believed to have start
ed this blaze.
