FOR THE FARM

Many irons in the fire and at least
one that must get hot and be pound
cd into shape was the situation which
the Chamber OF Commerce dealt
with in its meeting OF members and
citizens in the county court room
this morning, II. r. Morrow called
the meeting to order at 1880 and
brought up the main point at once
by calling upon NJ. A. Carleton, of
the department Of agriculture, to
state the situation in regard to the
experimental farm, Mr.. Carleton
briefly stated the necessity which
has been presented heretofore, of
providing for the removal of the
experimental farm from its present
location to some new location. Work
on this new location must begin
within the next few weeks in order
to have the grounds ready to con

Mr.. Carleton stated that he did not
wish to hold it over the citizens as
a threat but that other communities
have offered locations, so that the
department Is not by any means beg
glng for a gift. He further stated
that the work Of the farm has just
been well begun and that its extent
and Importance would grow year by
year other features such as cattle
feeding and dairying would probably

features would OF course make the
farm from every standpoint more val
liable for the community.
Comment by the men present was
unanimous in favor of the securing

will close the season for the girls
basketball team OF the Amarillo
High School. The Canadian girls, it
Will be remembered, played two

Baton Rouge, La, May 1S.-Race

A landslide occurred in Norangda-
len, Sondmore, about three weeks ago.
A mass of rocks and earth slipped
! down from Mount Kjeipen and formed
| sort of causeWay across the valley.
The depth of the mass is 1875 feet at
the bottom of the valley, and its width
| is 1900 feet at the foot. The dust
raised by the landslide spread like a
fog over the surrounding country. The
river was damned up, and a lake is
forming above the landslide. Many
pasture huts are under water. The
| water will back up about mile before
| 1t rises high enough to flow over the
embankment The tourist road thru
the valley must be changed on account
of the rising water.
| The resolve of the Norwegian stor-
thing to create commission to con-
slider the separation of church and
state is momentous move. The
storthing is to name five of its own
| members and the king is to name
four others. Since 1887 the Lutheran
church In Norway has been part of
the state. It is administered thru a
department of the ministry, which
also has educational matters In
charge. The bishops and priests are
paid partly by the government and
partly from tithes and ground rents
on former church property. Almost
all the people of Norway are, at least
nominally, members Of the state
| church The tendency Of recent
years has been to put the churches on
a self-supporting basis. The storthing
now means to see whether a divorce
can be safely accomplished.
