A ROAD WETrTNG MACHINE
FOR NEW MEXICO USE

Press Bulletin No. 139, issued by the
New Mexico College Of Agriculture
and Mechanic Arts, deals with a new
road wetting machine.
Wetting the roads occasionally In
our dry climate. is necessary to keep
them free from dust and In good con.
dition.
1t Is an established fact that when
the surface OF our roads becomes
loose and dusty the only way the sur.
face can be made hrm again is by
wetting 1t. Therefore, how to wet the
road becomes the question.
Two methods have been used on the
college road, which is graded, having
a ditch on each side. The old method
was to fill the ditch ON one side of the
road with water, which was then
thrown upon the surface OF the road
by means of buckets operated by Mex
lean 1aborers.
The new way. which has just late
1y been devised, Is to throw the water
the surface Of the road By means
Of the road wetter drawn by two hors-

proven to be the BEST; for the wetting

States during this period. Concerning
the farm production OF 1909, he says
mat the farmer has created wealth BY
the billions. Production has been a
bove the average OF recent years with
few EXCEPTIONS; and, while some prfc
es have fallen, others have risen.
Agricultural Production in 1908.
The farm value Of all farm prod
ucts Of 1908 reaches the most extraor
binary total in the Nations history
$ ITS, 900, 900. This is about 4 times
the value of the products Of the mines
including mineral oils and precious
metals. The farmer contributes 81
per cent of the raw materials used In
those manufacturing Industries which
depend mostly or considerably upon
agricultural materials, n these ind
ustries use AZ per cent Of all mater
ials used in all Industries.
The gain in value Of farm products
in 1908 over 1907 is $3.50. 600. 900 and
would have been much larger had not
the prices Of cotton and hay been SO
low. The value Of products in 1899,
the census year., being taken at 100.
the value for 1908 stands at 125; for
1904. at 131; for 1905. at 1874; Tor 1906.
at 143; for 1907 at 1859; and for 1908.
at 165. During the last ten years the
wealth PRODUCTION on the farms OF this
country has exceeded the fabulous
sum OF $4,000, 000. 900.
The value Of the corn crop, 3.643,-
600. 900 bushels, is placed at $1,615.-
600. 900. This wealth is enough to IAN
the interest bearing debt of the.
United States and to pay for the. Pan.
anna Canal and fifty b~attleships. This
crop is worth this year nearly as
much as the great crops. Of cotton,
hay and wheat combined.
The cotton crop II likely one OF the
three highest ever produced.
The greatest hay crop In history haa

WHAT MIGHT BE DONE
WITH OUR FORESTS

The report Of the m ON FOT
ests to the National Conservation
Congress, after pointing out the de-
~struction that has been wrought in
our forests and the dangers that threa
ten the country unless a remedy is
found, tells what might be done with
our forests and how they could be
made to produce all the wood this
country may require in the future, and
also how they may be made a profta'
BILE investment for the Nation. Here
are some Of the good things from the
report Of that committee:
By reasonable thrift, We a pro
duce a constant timber supply beyond
our present need, and with it con.
serve the usefulness OF our streams
for irrigation, water supply, naviga-
ton and power.
Under right management, u for
ests will yield over four times as much
as now. We can reduce waste in the
woods and in the mill at least one
third, with present as we'll as future
profit. We can perpetuate the naval
stores industry. P~reservative treat-
ment will reduce by one-fifth the guam
tity of timber used in the water or In
the ground. We can practically stop
forest fires at a total yearly cost of
one-1fth the value of the standing
timber burned each year, not count
ing young growth.
We shall suffer for timber to meet
our needs, until our forests have had
time to grow again. But If we act Wig
orously and at once, we shall escape
permanent timber scarcity.
Fol each million acres of forest in
public ownership, over three million
are privately owned. The ~conservat-
ion Of public forests is the smaller
task before the Nation and the States.
The larger task is to induce private
forest owners, which means three mil
Hon men, to take care of what they
have, and to teach wood users, which
means every one, how not to waste.
IL these things are done. they will
our streams IS well as our
forests. II they are not done, the use
fitness of our streams will decrease
no less than the usefulness of our for
ests.
We must stop forest fires. By care
ful logging, we must both reduce
VISITS and leave cut-over lands prod
uctive. We must make the timber
logged go further, by preservative
treatment and by avoiding needless
loss in the mill. the factory. and in
use. We must plant up those lands
now treeless which will be most use
full under forest. We must so adjust
taxation that cut-over lands al be
held for a second crop. We must e
ognize that timber costs no less to
grow than It does to log and saw.
We must continue and perfect, by
state and nation, the preservation by
use Of forests already publicly owned;
and we must extend 1t to the other

Heavily Fined,

The case of Charles Baranco, charge;, with violating the prohibition jaw, came up in the mayors court this morning and as result he was fined $S7. 50 and costs. In addition to this, a negro named Butler Woodward was also fined $S7. and costs for giving whisky away.
 Woodward claims to have entered the place of BaTanco and purchased :; pint of whisky. He then went outside and gave some of it to a friend When his trial came up he explained to the mayor that he was dividing" This excuse would not hold good and the mayor decided that he was guilty. Baranco made bond and gave notice Of appeal. As stated this morning this is the second time that Baranco has been arrested in one week on the same charge. From the evidence that has been given in the cases it appears tha- he had it in for Officer Clements and IS said to have made the remark that that wooden headed officer could not catch him. Evidently he was mixed in the man because he was caught, not once but twice.

Washington, February 2S.-(Special.) That the cotton boil weevil Is to be destroyed by birds is the belief of many of the agricultural department scien- lists. Agents of the department who have just returned from the Louisiana, Texas and Mississippi cotton fields say there are now 54 varieties of birds which feed upon the weevil
 "The discovery that so many birds are now eating the weevils is of great importance indeed" said pr. Hart Mer- riam, chief biologist of the agricul- tural department. for it means that the pest may be kept in check, if not exterminated in time. The entomolo- gists are working to eradicate the weevil by means of insect enemies and the spread of certain diseases or para sites among them. Although these ex- periments have not perhaps been crowned with entire success, some headway has been gained. Every little
