lands, and in many instances have
been successful. What we want
now is for the people to study how
to farm, secure the very best seed
and plant we'll. Yes, believe that
farming can be made a good bust
ness in this country. The people
should take more interest in this
subject and agitate it and get in a
good class of farmers. One thing,
the merchants of the country should
give more encouragement to the
producers than has been done here
tofore. Instead of discouraging
production and discriminating a.
gainst home produce in favor Of
stuff that is shipped in the merchant.
should encourage the home farmer
and assist him. In the past mer-
chants have been very negligent in
his matter but they are now be-
ginning to see that, as business
men, it is not only to their interest
but also their duty to lend a help
ing hand to those that are trying
to build up New Mexico.
Wherever it is possible mer-
chants should buy home raised
produce.
Build up a home market for
home raised produce, for our butter
and eggs, our fruits and hay and
grain and men will be encouraged
to boom. Ten years will work
great changes. The seed of home
farming is planted and if agricul-
ture is encouraged all northern
New Mexico will become farming
