HIGH MEAT
ON HOMESTEADER
Agricultural Secretary Says
He Has Taken Up the
StOckman's Land.

Chicago, Ill, Nov 21-Secretary Of
agriculture Wilson blames the home
steader of the west in part for the
present high cost of living In an ad-
dress at the opening of the United
States Land and Irrigation exposition
Saturday night he said:
The homesteader is reducing the
field of operations of the ranchman,
which is reducing the meat harvest of
the west and becoming quite a factor
in the cost of living"
Other causes, he said, were the great
immigration to this country and the
movement to the cities.
The recent tumble in prices of meat
he attributed to drouth in the range
country-causing cattle to be be sold
off cheaply-and to the big corn and
oats crop.
He declared that much remains to
be done in improving the country's
farming conditions. Expansion, ex-
ploitation and soil robbery, he contin-
ued, have been too much the practice
of the past.
The new lands opened under the
homestead act of half a century ago.
were often exploited he asserted, for
temporary profit by soil robbers who
were experts of their kind"
Owing to such farm management.
the yield of the acre in the United
States gradually. decreased. Little in
tensive farming was done
But none Of our Soils" he added,
ARE beyond redemption. The soils of
the country are the greatest asset the
nation has Progress in all directions
depends on the condition of the soil,
and there is no material inquiry of
such great value as that which per-
tains to our soils"
The day will come he declared,
when irrigation will be applied as a
matter Of national necessity to the
growing of crops even in the humid
regions of the country, something that
has been done for hundreds of years in
European countries. Reservoirs will
be built at the heads of our streams
to be used in period of drouth. All
countries Of which I have any knowl-
edge have periods of drouth. Some of
our states have 80 inches of rainfall
and yet they have periods Of drouth
These dry times prevent the growing
OF maximum crops
But more is needed than irrigation
Those who grow crops by irrigation
depend too much upon the added water
and too little upon cultivation Of the
soil"

WHAT THE MEsILLA VALLEY
WANTS Is "YOT1


North Of FL Paso, where they have
all the water they want, where the
farmers have their automobiles and
run into FL Paso in 10 to so minutes to
enjoy the opera. Think of it-50 to 70
bushels of wheat to the acre at $1.10
per bushel THIS SEASON. $40 per acre
for unimproved land level as the floor.
SIS for highly improved farms, with
the wonderful fertilizing water Of the
Rio Grande which is now earning 10
percent interest on $500 an acre, Is
bound to double and quadruple in value
annually for several years, and in the
meantime working it on shares, not
ever having to go near the tract, il
will earn you % to 40 percent per an
mum profit Is there anything in these
broad United States TO equal such a
proposition And the field is so limited
and the market for the products so
great, that we feel it our duty to urge
YOU to investigate NOW before It is
too late. OF course. you know (if you
are at all posted), that r. c. Bailey,
who practically farmed in this valley
% years. has the best listings, and is
the best posted on the proposition. Let
US talk it over.
