Is so we'll known in this community that
any statement as TO him Is unnecessary.
His excellent administration of the. Of

and his election is foregOne conclusion.
Mr.. Stephens is now filling, by ap-
pointment, the unexpired term of j. W.
Foster, and his conduct Of the office
has been such that the convention, in
nominating him by reclamation, simply
complied with the demand. not only Of
republicans, but of the majority Of law
abiding people Of the county. He has,
thus far, and will in the future, execute
the law without fear or favor.
Prof. Duff, for Superintendent Of
schools, and Mr.. Hausemyer, for Sur
veyer, were nominated for these offices
because by education and training tney
are peculiarly fitted to discharge the
important duties appertaining to these
Offices. Our people will make no mis-
take by electing them.

His familiarity with the revenue laws

with the tax payore, and his unques-
toned honesty and integrity, make him
truly the right man in the right place.
1t is to the interest of the county and
territory to keep him in this Office and
we believe the voters of Luna county
will show their realization of this fact

RECLAMATION OF FARMS.
Successful Results Follow the Plant
Ing of Glover and Cave Peas
On sterile Lands.

Through the use Of cow peas and
clover the officers OF the Missouri state
board of agriculture hope to reclaim
many of tne deserted farms OF the
state and bring back TO barren lands
its former fertility Many farmers, in
an endeavor to reclaim farms, resorted
TO the use of commercial fertilizers,
but the method is too expensive to in
sure profitable crops.
In the general Introduction OF cow
meas and clover, It is thought that the
problem Of retaining this land has
been solved. A series of experiments
carried on BY the University Of Mis-
souri, has demonstrated this. and farm
era in all parts Of the state are being
urged to take up the plan. Although
the area Of barren land In Missouri is
very small, as compared with that Of
Older states, 1t Is rapiflly growing
larger, and the necessity OF immediate
remedy is apparent TO those who re-
aIize The situation.
The reason for TeconTue ending clover
and COW peas IS because they possess a
power peculiar TO this class OF plants,
of gathering nitrogen from the air.
Nitrogen. one CT the important ele-
nsrts Of plant feed, is required By
all domestic nlsnas. and IS the most
