What Shall We Work For?

When we have urged upon dairy
farmers the importance of lmprov-
ing the quality and capacity of
their cattle we have in many in
stances been answered like this:
"Well, if everybody increases
the production of their cows, as
you advise, it will break down the
prices and then where will we be?"
Two errors of judgment are con
tanned in that reply and 1t is one,
we are convinced, that occupies
the minds of large number of
farmers.
The first error is In the idea that
a high price is necessary to an in
creased profit. Too many men
are looking to the market for their
salvation when they should look
at the COW end. Individually this
cannot affect the price except as
they increase the quality of their
product, But they can do great
deal to reduce the cost Of produc.
tion. There is where they cannot
be interfered with. 1t is the good
COW that produces milk the cheap
est; it is the poor COW that pro-
duces it the most expensively.
The final meaning of all this talk
we hear on improved breeding,
better ideas of stablipg and feed
ing is to increase production and
reduce the cost. At once then
we are masters of the situation.
The second error is in the idea
that farmer must keep a large
herd in order to make u good pro-
fit and so by.increasing the size of
our herds we finally bring on over
production and loss. Hoards
Dairyman is not in favor Of large
herds but it is in favor Of small
herds Of large producers. We
want to see more herds of 10 cows
that will produce 800 pounds of
butter each and less 20 COW herds
that produce only 175 to 200
pounds.
When the farmer gets these two
ideas fastened IN his mind, less
cows and better ones and better
and more efficient methods, then
will he conform to the true eco,
Monies of the situation. 1t is the
food of poor cows and their pro
duct, and farmers keeping them
who do not know what they are
ahout, that constitute the most
serious menace to the future ol
dalrying.

Baptist Minister
Becomes a Catholic

have become member of the
Roman Catholic Church because
through my years, of theological
study, and particularly in Mexico,
l have come to the belief that the
Roman Catholic Church is right.
l have no desire to enter into a
theological controversy, and for
the work of the Protestant Church
in Mexico l have nothing to say,
either of the men who are engaged
in it, of the work they are doing,
or of their motives IN pursuing
that work. l may say, however,
that my faith is held in the Roman
Catholic Church militant, the
church of all lands and all ages."-
Rev William H. Sloan.
Recently in Mexico City in the
San Lorenzo English speaking
Catholic Church, Rev. William H.
Sloan, for thirty-fve years a minis
ter of the Baptist Church, and for
the past twenty-three years mis-
sionary of that Church in Mexico,

YAQUI INDIANS MURDERED
Traveller from Guaymas Reports
Suicide Of the Yaqui indians
as False

What is Mexico doing with her
deported Yaquls?
A. r. Nelson of Washington,
d. c., says they are being drowned
IN the Pacific.
Mr.. Nelson, who has been spend
ing the winter in the southwest
for the benefit of his health, passed
through Ell Paso on his way home.
He spent some time in Guaymas,
Mexico, where be says be took
some observations on the manner
in which the Yaqris are being
handled.
81 saw one bunch of the Indians
brought from the interior to Quay
mas" he told a News representa-
tive, "and was Informed that they
had been hauled 4S4 kilometers in
stock cars, which had not even
been cleaned out after being used
for transporting cattle.
"There were 1900 of these poor
devils-men, women and children,
huddled together in the cars like
so many hogs. 1t was one OF the
most pitiful scenes | have ever
witnessed.
"They were unloaded at Quay
mas and placed in a corral like
cattle. Later they were loaded on
vessel for deportation. As they
we're being transferred from the
corral to the vessels they were
ieered at by the Unlocking Mexi-
cans, who seemed to take great de-
light in the misery of the Indians.
"That the Yaquis are being ex-
lied to Yucatan, was what l was
informed, their route to be by sea
to the Isthmus of Tehauntepec,
over the isthmus by rail and then
again by sea to Yucatan, but with
in three days the vessels on which
they left Guaymas were back at
the port, when they could not have
made the trip to Tehauntepec in
less than six days.
1.-The reason given by those in
charge of the vessels for their early
return was that the Yaquis had all
jumped overheard.
II travelled through some Yaqui
country and formed the opinion
that the Indians are generally
peaceable and much better labor
ers than the poems of that section.
But it seems that the Mexican gov
ernment is determined to extermi-
nate them, and the free-thlnking
people of Guaymas and vicinity
don't believe that any of the de-
ported ones have eYen been landed
any where but at the bottom of
the sea.
"Guaymas is typical Mexican
town of about $4,000 people," con-
cluded Mr.. Nelson. "The business
there Is practically all done by
Mexicans and Cinnamon and the
principal amusements are bull
fights and base ball,-El Paso

Farming News
Dairying as 1t Relates to Fertility

There is nothing of more i'm
portance to all humanity than the
fertility of the soil; dependent up.
on ii is the lite of every living
thing. The future strength, pow
er and general welfare of this ma
ton, in fact of all nations, great or
small, is in the hands of men who
till the soil.
Historians have paid great trib-
ute to statesmen who have helped
to develop and guard the political
future of our country, but the very
foundation of our nation is the
soil and the farmers who have il,
in charge have greater responsi
bility than the men who are shap.
ing the legislation of our land. 1t
therefore becomes the sacred duty
of every man who owns little
spot of this earth to guard it well.
He should leave it better than he
found it.
But this is not the history of the
soil. If the history of American
Agriculture is ever written, it will
be a story of destruction from the
Atlantic to the Pacific oceans.
There IS no country that has de-
Tstroyed the fertility of the soil so
rapidly or used it more extrava-
gantly than the American farm
er. The far sighted men of every
age have observed this destruction
and have given warning of Its
penalties.
But it is only recently that the
average farmer has begun to real
ize the necessity of giving his at.
tentlon to this all important sub
ject,-prcserving the fertility of
our land.
In the beginning, this country,
on the whole, had a rich soil, and
most men thought it in exbaustl.
BILE. Our modern methods of farm
ing, which have brought in vogue
the rotation of crops, better cult,
walton, better machinery, tile drain
age and with which has developed
rapid and cheap transportation,
opening markets to all parts of the
world for our farm products, have
increased our earning capacity but
have fastened and encouraged the
depletion of our soil.
We are now brought face to face
with the problem of developing
system of farming that will not
make our land less productive but
more productive, for the old phrase
ego West young man and grow up
with the country" is obsolete.
When 500 pounds of butter are
sold from the farm only Is cents
worth leaves it. If 100 bushels of
corn is sold $500 worth of fertil-
ity is taken from the land. 1t is
not hard for the thinking man to
observe what dairying will do for
the soil as compared with grain
farming,
Where dairying is properly car
ried on the soils grow better; but
with grain farming the soil is
growing poorer and less product
i've each year.-Hoard's Dairy man.
