Business Is Best i'm Since
Since Year 1920

Denver.-The demand for horses is
the greatest in Is years.
Ordinarily the best of news that
can reach the stockmen of the west
the heavy demands for work animals
has brought no rejoicing to this sec.
ton, because there are few horses to
be sold.
Buyers from all over the nation
have been turning to the Denver mar
ket in recent weeks to supply de-
mands created by widespread return
to the horse by midwestern and
southern farmers who, during the
late '20s, abandoned their work ami
mails in favor of the speedier, more
efficient and, as many now believe,
more expensive tractor.
In a two-week period this summer,
so buyers with orders for horses and
mules, stopped here. They came from
South Carolina, N. Carolina, Texas,
Oklahoma, Missouri and Tennessee.
One firm doing business on the
Denver market sold 800 horses in one
week, It's supply, however, did not
begin to fill the demand, and the buy
ers went on into Wyoming, Montana,
Oregon and Utah in search of stock.
Recent sales here have brought
$3.50 to $155 apiece for many young
animals. The demand for mares is
especially heavy.
Dealers here said that the mule
crop of the Rocky Mountain region is
depleted, just at time when south
ern cotton men have scores of agents
securing the country and offering
high prices for sturdy work animals.

AGRICULTURE OFFICIAL
ESTIMATES IS MILLION
ACRES LAID WASTE IN u. S.

Declaring that soil erosion has
made "ghost farms" of S5,000,000
acres of land, M. L. Wilson, assistant
secretary Of the Department of Agri-
culture and chairman of the land
planning committee of the national
resources committee, made a plea for
retirement of submarginal lands and
rehabilitation of farm families in a
speech in New York City last week.
"Three billion tons of soil-enough
to fill train of freight cars circling
the earth 10 times at the equator
are blown or washed from the fields
of the United States every year." he
said.
"More than 3OO,OOO,OOO tons of the
most fertile soil-stripped from the
Mississippi valley-are washed into
the Gulf of Mexico each year. Every
year about 100000 acres of land are
abandoned because of erosion.
"On half million farms, even with
fair farm prices, families will be UNI
able to make ends meet and the pub
lie must bear the burden.
"The report of the national re-
sources board estimates that there
are 454,00 farms on land so poor its
operators ahve practically no chance
of Gaming decent living. It recon-
mends that these farms-about U.s.,
100000 acres with crop area OF
100000 acres-be retired through
purchase of public use as forests
game refugees, parks and grazing
areas.
cit suggests that we buckle down
to solution of this problem by buy.
ing this submarinal land steadily
about 100000 acres a year for the
next Is years, helping the residents
to find new homes on good soil OF
elsewhere with promise of good liv
ing"
