this fact IN mind, I wish TO suggest TO

of the large majority Of our citizens, OF

a winner; and well be a winner also in
having him represent US In the Legis-

Dry Farming.

Before you begin farming it's well
to know what soil you have. If you
take a spade and dig down you will
find how soils are made. First you
find is decayed vegetable matter next
you will find mineral matter. These
are organic and inorganic matter that
have been forming from decayed veg
etable-rocks and minerals.
AS the farmer must look to the
first or organic for crop foods, its
well to see now they were formed.
In the Pecos Valley the humus or or
ganic matter is dead grasses and
weeds tina have been rotting for un-
known ages. Following natures ways
is one of the best ways to farm. The
soil being made from dead grasses,
it's best to hold onto all of it you can,
thus fall blowing is a work that must
be m in dry farming; by blowing
under all the vegetable matter you
can this will put numus into your
land, the cold rains and SHOWS will
rot the grasses, and they will hold
moisture a long time. It's well to use
all the manure you can, but as the
farmer who has just taken UP land
does not n much manure to use,
then he must obtain humus as best
he can. Without, humus no crops can
grow. This organic matter must be-
Other elements are created in the
soil if humus is present, such as nitro
gen, phosphorus, potash n lime.
The dry farmer must rely on the win
ter rains for water to rot whatever
| matter he has plowed under to hold
moisture, he must pillow deep in the
fall to get the benefit of winter rains.
| Then the matter plowed under will
| rot forming an acid hat will dissol-
We mineral and animal matter so that
the coming crop can feed on them
| provided the farmer can wait to grow
a crop of bee clover and turn it un
der before II blooms. He will get q

JUDGE FREEMAN DECLINES.

For Good Reasons the AoId Roman"
Says He Mil Not Make the Race
For the Territorial Council.
From Carlsbad Argus.
As will be learned from The Argus
Roswell correspondence published in
another column, the republicans of
the twelfth council district last week
nominated Judge A. A. Freeman, of
Carlsbad, as their candidate for the
Territorial Council from this district.
The Argus heartily agrees with
Judge Freeman thai for various rea-
sons he should not make the race,
more especially as he undoubtedly is
the man the people of Eddy county
should send to represent them in the
constitutional convention, and at the
proper time the nomination will be
made and offered him by the people
of the county, irrespective OF party.

October Sth, 1906.
My Dear Canoon:l have just
been advised that the republican con
vention that assembled in Roswell
last Thursday unanimously nominal
ed me to represent this district in
the upper house of the next legisla-
ture.
AS l was not present, AMI had no
previous notice of an intention to
nominate me, I feel very much graft
fed at this mark of confidence mani
tested by my republican friends.
There are several reasons, howev-
er, why 1 cannot accept the nomina-
ton.
In the first place, my son-in-law
and partner. Mr.. Cameron, has been
nominated for the same place by the
democratic party, and | do not care
to contest the place with him.
There are no people in any district,
nor in any state, more intelligent, pa
triotic and progressive than the peo-
pie of this district; and to represent
such a constituency would be an hon
or to any one, and under favorable
conditions l should deem it a pleas
ant duty to serve them.
1 cannot dismiss the matter with
out expressing my cry profound
thanks Il my friend, Mr.. Jaffa, who
put me in nomination, and to you, sir,
and to other delegates, all of whom
l am advised supported me.
Respectfully,

THE BURsUM INCIDENT.

From Santa Fe Eagle.
We wonder whether such papers
as the Albuquerque Citizen, which
have declared the Bursum incident
closed, will reopen it long enough
to take note of the fact hat last
week Mr.. Bursum concluded that it
would be good policy for him to IN
tribute the sum of $2,970 to the Ter
ritofial treasury on account of a few
little discrepancies in the
at the pe%nitentiary while he was SUI
~perintendent. This sum, in addition
to the $1,727 which he contributed
in July last, makes a total of 1887
paid by Mr.. Bursum since ne resign
ed from the management of the pen
itentiary. This does not look as If
the incident had been closed for a
month"

LARRAzoLo AND HOME.
B. R. BUFFHAM

From Carlsbad Sun.
Home is where the heart is. This,
an old and true saying. occurs more
forcfbly concerning the race for the
highest Office in the gift of the peo-
pie of New Mexico, than n other
feature of this most singular of all
political contests.
When it is known that Andrews
boosted before he came to New Mex
leo and while he was about snelved
as a broken-down political back in
Pennsylvania, that he would go to
New Mexico and back to Washington
without even moving his family to
the Territory to make their nome,
or in reality changing his home from
Pennsylvania; when it is known that
his family still have their home in
Pennsylvania, is it strange That his
where the heart is, and the heart is
where ones family and friends are,
and should Andrews be defeated he
would simply shake the lust of New
Mexico from his feet and go back
home where his heart is-if he has
one.
But how about Hon. o. A. LARA
zolo, VINO six years g went down
in defeat with the whole democrat
ic ticket? Did he go away? No, he
is still a resident of New Mexico, for
here is where his heart is. Here is
where his family and friends reside.
Here is where ne obtained his educa-
ton, and here he will live and die
as did his fathers for generations be-
fore him.
Do the people of this Territory
want a man whose heart and home
is in New Mexico? Or, do they want
family, heart and home are in Penn
sylvania? Do they want a man
whose record is as pure as the crys-
tai waters from the SUBMITS of New
Mexico's mountains? Or, do they
want a man who has been mixed up
in some of the most scan
dals in the United States, a boon
companion of Otero and his gang that
more than doubled taxes in New
Mexico and gave us nothing in re-
turn? Let these truths decide all nom
est New Mexicans and the result will
be a victory for Larrazolo, honor and
home.

has not enabled him Il buy feed or
stock to make manure, the second
year he must do his best, If corn has
been grown. The land would not
stand another crop without sustain
ing such a great draught on its plant
food as to ruin the land for several
years. A crop of COW peas will here
come to his rescue and put enough
humus into the soil to hold for two
or three years. AS he has made a
crop, he should now buy a few pigs
to eat it, and thus make a good bit
of manure for the third year. 1t is
presumed that he has a cow or two
and is now able to feed them n his
horses.
Do not let the manure lie in a heap
for the rain to wash the best part
of it away. Every cold day take the
team and wagon and haul it right
where you expect to make the best
crop, ana you will not be disappoint-
ed. AS a crop of COW peas makes fine
~fattening for pigs, this crop will a
well if used well. The pea hay is a
good fodder for winter, and with a
little alfalfa to nelp out, stock does
well. AS all animals like a change of
feed, so does a farm want a change
of crops.

first year. its best to wait another
year, and work at something else. as
a bad start, and continued is making
things worse. AS we are just now in
October, it is the time to begin plow-
ing under. All the dry grass and
weeds you can haul upon the lane
makes it the better.
Dry leaves are one of the best of
matter. Anything that was once
green is good, except tnistles." By
spring they will be rotten, if we
get a natural rain fall. The dry farm
er can see his land getting ready for
spring, when his hard work begins.
The iand must be worked until it
is fine, with pillow harrows, and a
heavy roller is a great help to crush
it; also to form a hard sub-soil that
will hold the water from soaking
down.
AS New Mexico must look to the
ton of her lands, he should receive
as much encouragement as other
states are giving their wheat grow
ers. See what Canada has done"
1t means SO much for New Mexico
that all should help to the extent of
their means.
the first crop for the dry farmer,
is Kafir corn. Then he must min
n not mine his soil too much. A
rotation of crops must be grown.
Cow Peas should be one. 1t will not
a a farmer to try dry farming who
expects to get r after crop of the
same grain e after year from the
same field. Its like the coal miner
taking out coal, it ends with one
crop.
The farmer takes away plant food
and must replace it before ne can
expect another crop. This can be
done by a rotation of crops. Cow
Peas put more organic matter into
the soil than they take away, being
a great air feeding plant. One crop
of Peas IS equal to a well spread coat
of stable manure This is what the
dry farmer wants, as he must have
his soil fine. He can take mis- time
at it before planting. He cannot
work the top soil too much.
Before planting he must use his
judgment before or after a rain, as
when to plant, as he watches the
young, tender shoots spring up, he
must now keep a thin dust coat of
son on top. After every rain or hea-
Wy dew the wedding pillow or hoe
should be at work.
When his neighbors are ditching
water to their crops he is doing his
DcSL " uOlu what lie mas III store
under his fine dust coat of soil. At
times the work is as great as in wet
farming, but he can farm at less cost,
with less outlay of capital, and many
a man can get a start and make a
success on the dry farm, when other
wise he would be compelled to work
for others, and in this age of money
making, working for others is not a
pleasant occupation. Being ones own
boss, if it be only on a ten acre
patch, beats working for other PEG
pie, especially if one has a family to
support and start in life. The second
year of the dry farmer is a hard one.
He has nothing to pillow under but the
corn stubble. AS | am writing to the
