THE ELK

Many of the sporting magazines of today are carrying
articles put out by the Izaac Walton League, advocating the
purchase of additional lands in the Jackson Hole country for
the winter range for the vast elk herds which sweep down into
that country each winter. An energetic campaign has been
carried on for several years and it begins to look as thought
results would be obtained, and that steps will be taken to do
something to preserve the elk herds.
A recent sporting publication printed pictures of the elk
which suffered so greatly during the winter of 1919. The argu-
ments they use to the uniformed sportsmen are good, but they
are far-fetched, and do not fairly portray the real conditions in
the Jackson Hole country where the elk winter during most
years, with only the nominal loss thru the winter, due to old
age an other natural causes. To the eastern sportsman, the fact
that a few elk die during the winter is appalling, but the same
thing would occur even though the animals were on the best
of range and wintered under the best conditions. The stocknan
would suffer the same percentage of loss in his domestic herds,
did he not Gull out the old cows and bulls and ship them to
market.
Then there is another cause for the winter killing of elk.
There is a good illustration of it on the Northfork this year.
Range up there never has been better in years and the herds
lower down on the river are looking fine this spring. However,
up near Pahaska, there is reported a bunch of from fifty to
seventy-fve elk which is having a hard time to get through.
They are used to the range up there, and with the hunting of
the late fall, failed to join the herds lower down when they could
have done so. Later on, in a weakened condition, they could not
breast the snow to the lower levels and have wntered on the
wind-swept ridges of the upper river country. A few losses will
result in cases such as this.
Still another element which is a dangerous one to the per-
petuation of the elk herds is in permitting them to become so
numerous. Many eastern game "protectionists" do not give
this side of the matter sufficient thought. They wish to see the
elk conserved, and rightly so, but their idea Of conserving them

BUSINESS IS GOOD

Whatever the political faith, religion or fraternal faith of
the average business man, he is looking forward today to an
era Of renewed business activity and general prosperity for the
next few years. And he has mighty good grounds for such an
optimistic outlook, not the least of which is optimism itself,
for optimism is the greatest little prosperity promoter in the
world; and there is no better business axiom than the one used
as a slogan by a number of business men-'Business is Good.
However there are several ways of making business good besides
radiating Optimism" and perhaps that would hardly work with
out some outside assistance. Like the woman who fell in a
well and was only saved by "the hand of providence-and anoth-
er woman" r.
of success in all things. So the merchant who backs up his
optimism with works, "the whole works" so to speak, is apt
to reap a substantial reward during the coming era of general
prosperity. f
One of the best guarantees for success in the mercantile
business is advertising. Not just running an ad once in a
while, but to advertise consistently-al the time. Give 'em the
gospel each week concerning the goods you handle and the
service you are willing to render. Hit 'em hard, and hit 'em
regularly. That's the way to make advertising pay. Some mer-
chants would advertise when business is good, and retrench
when business is poor. Another would handle his advertising
Just vice versa. However, no merchant would think of closing
his store during a lull in business, or letting his window display
become ragged and dirty because business was poor, and neither
can he afford to let his newspaper advertising lag at any time
of the year.
Put your advertising on a real business basis. Put aside
from three to five per cent for this purpose and spend it in a
way to get you results.

CLEANUP TIME

With the arrival of the blue birds and the robins, comes
the desire to clear away the litter and evidences of winter and
have everything spick and span, in accordance with nature at
her best. AS the same impulse moves the American housewife
to her spring houseceaning work, so man is moved to do his
share on the outside of the house, gathering away all the leaves
and other teItae evidence of the fall and winter months, and
permit the green grass to peep through into spotless surround
ings.
Cody, like all towns, needs a cleanup day. We need a week
of it, so that the town may be put in a spck and span condition
before the more strenuous duties of the summer months demand
all our time. The first of April is cleanup time all over Amer
1ca- Let's get into the band wagon and do our full share. There
are numerous empty lots and dirty corners scattered about the
town which will have to be care for by volunteer workers. There
are many streets which would be far more easy to navigate
if even the rocks were raked away. There is lots of work to do.
Trees should be planted. Others should be trimmed.
Cody should have a cleanup week.

Yields Of Beets Indicated
From Early Planting this Season
OPEN WEATHER THIS SPRING
FAVORS AS QUICKLY AS SEED
BEDS CAN BE FITTED IN, ORDER o LET
BENEFIT OF NEEDED MOISTURE

During this month the drilling of beet seed will
be the chore of first importance on beet growing farms.
Beet planting has already begun in most localities.
While the advantages of early planting are well
known, growers are cautioned not to forego the prepar-
alton of a suitable seed bed a few days gain in time
of planting.
A wel[prepared seed bed has a greater value for
increased yields than a few days gain in time of
planting.
The final yield bears a close relation to the germ
nation and thinning stands. Obviously labor expended
on the seed bed toward improving termination condi-
lions will be compensated in the yield, if the thinning
is also closely supervised. Less difficulty is encountered
with crust on the eary-sown beet fields, and better
termination results.
CONSIDERING THE EARLINESS OF
THIS SEASON A COMPARED TO OTHER
YEARS, AS FAST AS THE GROUND CAN
BE PROPERLY FITTED, PLANTING OF
BEE SEED HOULD BE COMMENCED I'M
MEDIATELY AND BE COMPLETED AT
THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE DATE.
Generally, sufficient moisture falls during April to
give good termination, except in arid localities where
beets must always be irrigated up. Where rains have
fallen in the last week the conservation of this soil
moisture is of the greatest Importance. A deficiency of
snow in the mountains is reported in some districts.
A shortage of late irrigation water is a possibility:
Take advantage of the early spring moisture and get
all the early growth possible in your beet crop.
Again we urge the use of ditchers on all beet
drills. The ditcher marks will be a guide for the horses
in blind cultivation and will serve as a protection
against damage from wind, as well as affor dthe farmer
a guide for re-ditching if irrigation is necessary to
terminate seed.

is to protect them from the hunter to such an extent that the
herds would soon grow to proportions beyond both the summer
and winter range. If the elk range of Wyoming will care for
10000 elk during normal seasons, the herds must be held ap-
proximately to that number. If permitted to multiply or in
crease to q 5000 or 10000, the entire elk herd would then be in
jeopardy should a hard winter fall on them. With the range
adequate for 10000 in normal years, this herd can be wintered
without severe loss even thought the winter be an unusually
hard one. If the herd increases to 10000, the range will be
early in the season, and if a heavy winter minimizes
the feeding territory, the entire elk herd will be facing starva-
ton long before spring, and the losses may be terrific as they
were a few years ago when this same situation presented itself.
Conservation of Wyoming's elk is not necessarily increasing
the size of the herd, but in furnishing an adequate amount of
winter range for the elk to be wintered. 1t is far better to
open the season in the fall and reduce the herds to the proper
number to be carried thru the winter than to protect them from
the hunter only to have them die later of starvation.
If the elk herd is to be increased, more winter range must
be secured and the Izaac Walton League has the one hundred
per cent cooperation of the people of this state in its campaign
to secure this range. To perpetuate the Jackson Hole herd and
also the Yellowstone herd, it will be necessary to acquire addi-
tional lands both in the Jackson Hole and in Montana near
Gardiner where they are forced down each fall from the upper
country.
