DRAGONS JOURNEY TO CURTIS
AND Mccook LAST WEEK

The Holyoke Dragons journeyed to
Curtis last Friday where they met
the Aggies on the Curtis floor. and
added another to their long string Of
victories. The game. however. was
a hotly contested affair and neither
side was able to get very large
score. due to the close guarding on
both sides. At the close of the game
the score was IA to Is. with the Dra-
gons holding the big end.
Saturday, the Dragons left Curtis
and drove over to McCook where they
played that night. the results of the
game were that McCook held the big
end of a 2S TO 10 score. This game
was a different style of basketball
from the Curtis Dragon game. as the
majority of points We're made by
long shots. The Dragons gained. a
good lead in the first quarter with a
score of 9 to 2. but the McCooS ag-
gregation by placing the ball through
the hoop eight times in succession
from the center OF the floor. forged
ahead Of the Dragons and maintained
their lead throughout the remainder
of the game.

COLORADO FARMS
DECREASE...BUT
LIVESTOCK INCREASES
ASSESSORS FIGURES SHOW THAT
FARMERS ARE NOT DEPEND
ING ON GRAIN ALONE

Agricultural experts nave long urg.
ed Colorado farmers to increase their
stocks of dairy cattle, hogs and poul-
try as the surest means of winning
success in the non-irrigated areas of
the state. and the record OF the past
year has afforded impressive evidence
of the wisdom Of the advice Reports
OF county assessors to the State I'm
migration Department for 1923 show
that, while the number OF farms be-
ing operated in the state was mora
than five per cent below the number
for 1929, the number of brood sows
on the farms had increased approx
mately five per cent. the number of
hens by about the same percentage
and the number of dairy cattle by
nearly nine per cent
The decrease in the number Of
farms operated was due almost wholly
to low prices OF farm products, par
ticularly wheat. 1t appears from the
figures. however, that the farmers
who temporarily abandoned their
farms in 1923 in order to win larger
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 indicates that
nearly all the farms that were tenn.
porarily abandoned last year had been
devoted in previous years to the cui.
tivation OF wheat. either as the prin.
cipal crop or the only crop. Many
OF them were farmed for the 1rst time
during the war. In 1917 and 1913.
when the government was urging fay.
mers to raise more wheat and whea
prices were abnormally high. Wheat
acreage in this state began to IN
crease rapidly in 1917 and continued
to increase even until 1922. Much Of
the increase was due to Increased
acreage cultivated by farmers who
had been growing wheat regularly.
but considerable amount OF II 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 n sharp decrease IN
wheat acreage In 1923. This was due
largely to unfavorable weather condi.
tlons. but Il was also partly due to
the retirement OF considerable num-
ber OF the exclusive wheat farmers.
These farmers had never introduced
poultry. dairy cattle and hogs on
their farms, and when the price Of
wheat dropped below so cents in Col.
orado they found they were unable
10 continue operations at a profit.
Many OF these temporarily abandon.
cd farms are being operated again
this yenr. 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
