Truck FARMING in Pecos Valley.

The Lakewood commercial Club
last Wednesday evening had under
discussion, "The benefits and profits
to be derived from truck farming"
A numbed of splendid speeches were
made by those who had had considera
able experience along this line. 1t
was the sense of the club that no sort
of farming was as profitable as truck
farming, where it could be carried on
successfully and where a market could
be found for the products.
1t has cen clearly demonstrated
that no section of the world produces
more vegetables to the acre than the
flavor, it is a conceded fact that the
products of this section are far super
ior to all others. The finest favored
cantaloupes in the world are grow
in the Pecos Valley and they always
command a very fair price.
Tomatoes, cabbage, onions, celery,
radishes, turnips and many other VI
rieties simply grow to perfection here
and are all paying crops.
The club appointed a committee to
take up the matter of freight rates
with the railroads and express com
.panies, Il endeavor to secure educ
ed rates for these products md we are
sure that a satisfactory agreement can
be reached. And if not, the truck,
farmer can successfully preserve mis-

Let those who are in a position to

matter over and we will later an
nouace the result of the committees
work as to rates and securing a mar
ket for these products-Lakewood

(Moraing Journal Bureau-)
Santa Fe, N. M, Jan. 25.-The high
and lofty plane upon which the oppo'
1ents of Governor Hagerman are con
Quoting their campaign of legislative
retaliation and the deep n unset
FISH attention they are giving TO the
was brought out most strikingly by an
incident in the house OF representa-
tives, in which under the guise of
seemingly harmless and proper resolu
ton to exclude lobbyists. a particular
ly unpleasant slap was directed at At
torney General w. C. Reid, who was
on the floor of the house. The attor-
ney general mad been in the room dur
ing the opening ceremonies of the
session when under the head of reso-
buttons of the house, H. B.. Holt, of
Las Cruces, whose relations with the
administration have been strained for
some time and who was recently re-
moved from the board of regents of
the Agricultural college at Mesilla
Park by the governor, introduced a re
solution excluding all lobbyists from
the house.
The motion, of course carried, Rup-
pc, of Albuquerque, seco1ding the
resolution. Resolutions excluding lob
byists are common and always carry.
Speaker Baca interpreted this to
mean an order to clear the floor, and
he ordered the sergeant at arms to
do so. This howeve. was taking the
thing further than Mr.. Holt and his
friends desired. AID he asked that the
ladies be not excluded, and that the
floor of the house mean the space &C.
cupied by desks of the members, and
not the slightly elevated ioor in the
rear.
1t was further shown by Mr.. Hud-
speth, of Lincoln, that under n
house rule members of the council and
all ex-members of the legislature are
entitled to the privileges of the house
floor, and that under another rule of
the house, territorial officials are en-
titled on the 1oor of the house.
1t was here that the true purpose
of Mr.. Hollis little resolution virtu-
ously seeking to exclude lobbyists
from the house. became evident.
Frank w. Beach, of Otero. Who oc-
cupies the sea in front of Holt. got
20 his feet and moved that the house
rule allowing territorial officials to
occupy seats on the foo be repealed.
The motion carried and the speaker
instructed the sergeant at arms to en-
force the rule.
Many little incidents of this kind
may be seen in Santa Fe these days,
which all show how earnestly the
members participating are striving to
serve the people and benefit the
territory.

Resolutions.

Memorial, passed by the New Mex
leo Educational Association, at its
twenty-first annual session,
To the Governor and Members of
the Council and House of Representa-
ives of New Mexico:
Gentlemen:-We, the members of
the Educational Association of New
Mexico, respectfully ask your careful
consideration of the following:
ID Experience in the states has
proved that the plan of selling the
lands given by congress for the sup
port of public schools and educational
institutions, and investing the pro
ceeds in bonds, mortgages, or otnS
securities, has resulted in reducing
the income on account of bad invest
ments, dishonesty, and carelessless.
On the contrary, those states that
have adopted a fair system of leasing
these lands have obtained an income
for heir educational system that is
constantly increasing along with their
increasing expenses. In several of
these states, as Nebraska and Monta-
ma, a leasing system has been uevel-
oped that is fair to the tenant and
also to the state so that the tenants
feel safe in making good improve
ments on the and leased.
Such a leasing system has been
started in New Mexico, AID is in fair
working condition. Therefore, we
respectfully request tina the territor-
ial officials be assisted by every way
possible in their efforts to develop
and perfect the leasing system for
the school lands, and that the laws of
the territory be amended as follows:
All lands already granted or that
shall be hereafter granted to the ter
ritory Or state of New Mexico for
the support of the commo schools
or of educational institutions, shall
be withdrawn from the market and
shall not be sold, except as such as
are actually needed for the location
of schools, churches, cemeteries, right
of way for public roads, irrigation
bitches, and reservoirs, and sucn pub
lie necessities.
02.) We believe the office of coun-
ty superintendent is one of the most
important in the county and n that
deals directly with the most vital in
terests of the community, that of the
education of ne youth of our land.
We therefore urge the need of such
legislation as will secure a man of
practical school experience for the of
fee of county school superintendent:
and further we ask that a law be pas
sed making women eligible to this
office. We also urge the ICED of leg
islation to remove the conflicts and
antiquities in the present school aw.
and to narmonize h same.
CD We believe hat tae present
support of the schools with funds de-
rived from liquor and gaming license
is illogical aad repugnant TO all the
friends of education, N we believe
that great good would result from a
law placing the eveau derived from
