Under the above caption, the Denver
Field and Farsi last week printed tho
following valuable article by our fellow
citizen. W.. ]. Wright:
My practice has been to not allow the
same crop to be planted on one plot or
field more than twice before changing to
some other crop. Say We begin with
corn for the first crop. For the small
farmer this crop should be followed with
winter wheat 10 September. lt should
be put in with double shovels among the
corn stolks. My plan is to follow i'm
mediately with large single shovel plow
making two burrows in each corn row
aud irrigate by placing in the border Of
my head ditch small box made onethird
the length Of common laths nailed to-
gether and putting one in the lateral at
each plow fHrrow, sinking the funnel to
the bottom Of the furrow so az to give all
possible water pressure.
On our mesa lands We do not run water
to exceed 100 yards, when we catch up
the water in a cross lateral and redis-
tribute it the next 100 yards and 30 on to
I the end Of the field. When my wheat is
harvested and removed from the ground.
4
after curing, ] plOW the stubble under
as deep as convenient, say eight to ten
! inches, and SOW to the some thirty var
iety Of peas Sew broadcast and furrOw
out with large single shovel plow, not
exceeding two and One.h half feet apart,
and iFrigate as before. In the fall, with
the appearance Of the first frOst, or the
| first week in September, SOW to winter
grain and irrTigate as in the first in
stance.
The reason for not running water
| further at time bafore catching bP and
redistributing It is that our mesa lands
absorb water 80 rapidly that the end Of
plot next the lateral gets too much
/ water and does not yield in grain as does
the lower end Of the plot. The pea crop
/ can be plowed under by attaching u
heavy chain to the right hand end Of
the Whippletre6 so as to drag in the
furrow just in front Of the plow, or the
furrow can be turned with a knot in the
chain for additional weight and forming
somewhat Of a semicircle with the other
end attached % the beam OF the plOw
few iBehes forward of the mOuldboard.
The cOFrugating can be done as before,
but sOEaewhat WIDER say three OF four
feet wide.
Water at intervals during the fall and
early winter so as to thoroughly decom-
pose the pea crop so that the soil will
have absorbed all Of the available plant
food contained therein. This will be
quite materially assisted by the winter
freezes. Now our plot is ready by spring
to again be sOwn TO any crop fancy may
dictate II sown to small grain our plan
would be FIRST 30 smooth the surface a
little with a harrow or drag and SOW by
hroadcaRting and plow in the grain with
a two horse pillow 10 the depth Of three 10
ches. Our soil is so very light and sandy
that 7 have rarely or never known
the seed to decay from cold or wet
weather, as IN The east | would prefer
clover az a fertilizer for q place Of sixty
acres or over, Because clover sod can be
broken with q common two-hOrse team,
while it takes a good four horse team
and an extra strong heavy plow TO break
alfalfa sod, besides an extra hand to
/ drive.

STOCK INTERESTS OF SAN JUAN.

covered something of its past value,
and the great fields of alfalfa in our
valleys are guarantees against ex-
cessive losses even in the severest
winter. The combination Of win
ter and summer ranges granted by
San Juan county mesas on one hand
and mountain meadows on the
other, makes a live stock country
hard to beat,
Since live stock prices have adj
vanced to their former figures, the
range question again becomes Of
prime moment. San Juan county s
cattiegrowers and sheepowners have
lately organized separate bodies for
protection and profit, and the ranch
men who are heavy sellers Of hay
to the stockmen each year, are con-
cerned in all that pertains to the
stock business. It is suggested
that some way should be found to
fix a uniform price for hay In
this direction, it is conceded that a
uniform. fixed and equitable price
each season would invite larger
herds to the valleys for winter feed
ing. As it is, cattlemen are quoted
prices varying from one to three
dollars on the ton.
The welfare of the county die
totes that all efforts be made to
secure the assistance of the stock
men, who put money i'll circulation
and help to tide over the years when
fruit does not prove profitable
asset.

The matter Of compiling statistics Of
the next census is being undertaken 10
no one department more thoroughly than
in that devoted to live stock interests.
The census bureau has given the super
vision Of the live stock census into the
hands Of the national live stock associa-
tion- The cooperation OF all stock
owners is urgently requested and it is
plainly to their interest to lend every
aid
Some Of the results to be obtained by
the census may be mentioned as follows;
First-The census viii show the exact mum
Der OF live stock in the country, ages sex breed
and location BY states and territories. This
information alone is Of the utmost value to
stochman as it enables them TO estimate
closely By Comparisons, approximate conditions
that affect the commercial value Of their hold
ings.
Second The census will pro eide a basis for
estimating closely the value Of all kinds Of live
stock and the Approximate cost Of growing the
laaie N varous poriiour Ths i-fsrr. .iaa w
be Of value to every man in tho live stock busi-
ness, all Of whom are affected by such ecVnomi'
problems.
Third This census VIII furnish the basis fol
future operations 10 keeping track OF the visible
supPlya Of cattle Of commerce for tho guidance
and information Of al stockman. Itia not the
intention OF the National Live Stock association
TO take this census aud stop there. To gain tn,
best results, steps will be taken 70 continue the
work, either By the association Or through govern
mental nid. This will provide constant and
reliable information upon which to base com
meroial transactions in the markets.

Select Delegates.

San Juan county Republican clans
gathered 10 aztec lasi Monday 20 select
two delegates to the Republican terri
torial convention at Socorro. While the
meeting wasof no particular Importance,
the attendance was nevertheless large
and to the local Leaders OF the g. O. b..
quite gratifying. AlEays before this
year San Juan county has allowed the
territorial conventions to do business
without her The decreased activity
manifested in Repui lican circles thus
early in the season r. evidently due to
the energetic leadership Of Judge Gran
Vile Pendleton He has infused new
vigor into the Organization and this is
one Of the reasons wbY a very creditable
number Of the representative men Of the
county we're present when the mass
meeting was called to order Monday.
Judge Pendleton a5,chairman Of the
county central COMMITTEES, presided. Jno

It was discovered that alternates would
be barred under the call as issued By
the territorial Committee, and non'
were selected.
A motion was made and carried tha
il only one delegate attended the con-
vention, that he be empowered to cas-
the vote Of both delegates.
The committee on resolutions, con
sisting Of Judge Peudleton, DR.. McEwer
and a. A. Waggoner, .eported the fol
Lowing resolutions and they were unani-

In the paliny days of yore, stock
growing was at once the most
remunerative as well as the most
important industry in San Juan
county. Fruitgrowing and agri-
culture were hardly thought of at
that time, the quick and easy profits
in cattle raising being much more
to the tastes Of the first settlers than
the laborious routine Of farm life
and its slower financial reward. In
the days when the cowboy was
king, one man owned as many as
ten thousand head of cattle in San
Juan county. The range was ex-
cellent and the prices for cattle
ruled high, and money is said to
have been more plentiful than it
has ever been since. There were
two causes that put and end to this
condition of affairs. In the FIRST
place, the great slump in live stock
prices knocked the profits all in a
heap and then the constant crowd
ing of the range finally killed out
the grass and left the cattlemen
without a winter feeding ground.
Ranchmen and orchardists then
came in and, taking out bitches ev-
erywhere, built the edihce of the
county's greatness on a stronger
and surer foundation.
The open winter just passed calls
attention anew to the possibilities OF
San Juan county as 3 stock-produc-
ing country. During late years ol
comparative rest the range has re-
