culture James Wilson, who received
him with great courtesy and wanted to
know, what he could do for him official.
ly or for the city Of Santa Fe. Collector
Bardshar stated that trees for the,
grounds surrounding the federal build
ing here, which cover an area of six
acres, were very much needed and
would beautify the federal building
grounds to a remarkable degree and
make it very attractive park for peo-
pie to visit. He informed the secretary
of agriculture that the supervising
architect Of the treasury had granted
an appropriation for the purpose of
sowing the six acres in grass seed and
with proper shade trees the park
could be made one of the most beauti-
full in the Southwest in few years.
Secretary Wilson took very kindly
to the idea and informed Collector
Bardshar that he was ready and will
ing and would be pleased to help him
in every way to fill requisition for
trees and that they would reach Santa
Fe in ample time to be planted next
spring.
! Collector Bardshar visited his old
home in Clyde, Ohio, for two days and
had a very pleasant visit.
Seed Wheat For Farmers.
Among the important measures for
the territory which Governor Curry
and Collector Bardshar asked to have
adopted was the donation by the De.
partment Of Agriculture of ten thou
SAINT bushels of seed wheat for needy
and deserving homestead entrymen
and farmers in the drouth stricken
|sections OF Quay and northern Roose'
Tvelt couaties. The matter was care
fully investigated but it was found that
there was no power or authority un
der the law for the secretary to act
upon the desires of the governor and
Collector Bardshar. Hence this had tc
be given up, but after consultation
lit was suggested that the ten Thousand
bushels of seed wheat might be pur
chased on credit and that the coming
| legislative assembly should approprl
ate sufficient amount to pay for this
! seed wheat to be distributed free tt
the farmers and settlers who really
need it. The plan is a very plausible
| and Just one and the New Mexican
: understands that Governor Curry ha
!. lit under contemplation and If possible
Y II will be carried into effect 50 as t
9 furnish these new citizens of New
4 Mexico with seed wheat for the com
e ling spring. This action on the part Q
!. the territorial administration woul
d show to the thousands OF incoming SCI
s tiers and prove to them that the PEI

homes, should natural conditions

Mr.. Hull also spoke on "Dairyins

He gave as. the means TO acquire

First-A good cow or any breed,

milk. A great many farmers are try
