Aztec. n. NJ, July 27.-Crop condl-
tions in San Juan county are good at
this time. Fruit in the lower end of
the county promises almost a full
yield, while somewhat lighter In the
upper end Altogether we should
ship 60 per cent OF a full crop and the
quality will be higher than last year,
when the trees were overloaded, and
the growers made no effort to thin.
corn. potatoes, cantaloupes, alfalfa.
vegetables. grain and small fruits are
doing well, and will yield fun crops.
There is a movement on foot by the
Commercial club of Aztec to hold a
celebration here the early part of Oc-
tober. and call it Apple Day" The
idea is to have a display of farm,
Kitchen and orchard products, with
appropriate prizes, and a good sport
program. Each guest would be Civ,
en- all the apples, peaches, grapes, etc.
he could eat ana an assorted o to
carry home. The idea is now up to
The passenger department of the Rio
Grande and if cooperation of the
railroad is had. the Commercial club
will go ahead with advertising and
other details. The club has recently
issued 4 handsome booklet treating
of the country in and around Aztec.
with fine illustrations. These are be-
ing sent ont in large numbers to all
inquiries. The club further has taken
six months subscription to the new
advertising plan formulated by the
New Mexico bureau of immigration.
Axtec's need for a creamery, cannery,
ice plant, cement factory, sorghum
factory, and many other manufactor-
les TO make marketable the raw pro-
duets of this fertile county are be-
ing scattered broadcast by the Com
mercial club and the result is bound
to be q healthy boom here.
Weather conditions have been hot
and dry for some weeks. but with
plenty of water for irrigation there is
no loss by the drouth except to stock
growers, who lament over the condi-
tion of the range.
Politics Looking Up.
At q meeting of the republican and
democratic central committees held in
Aztec on July 90, an agreement was
reached to hold a joint primary cleo
tion on August 9Th for the purpose of
selecting candidates for constitutions
Al delegates. This action is gener-
ally endorsed by the members of both
parties. The democrats have for two
years been nominating candidates for
county offices by direct primary, bus
this is the first time the plan has
been adopted by the republicans. The
republican county central committee
was unanimous in its decision for the
primary, but will have n space on tho
primary ballot in which the voters
may express their approval or disap-
prevail of the plan for the future.
There are not many candidates
spoken of as yet on the republican
side, probably for the reason II a the
county is considered democratic by
something less than 100 majority.
Among the democrats no formal an
nouncements have yet been made for
candidates.
A proposition for a non-partisan
delegations from San Juan county was
met with much enthusiasm by the
democratic central committee here on
Saturday. The democrats say the sure
republican counties will not have non
partisan delegates and they see no
reason why San Juan should.
There will probably be three tick
cts in the field here, the republican.
democratic and socialist. Every cam
didate will be required to outline his
idea of a proper constitution for the
enlightenment Of the voters, and with
the well known independence N in
telligence which the San Juan voters
have demonstrated On many occasions,
IL is anyone's race at this time.
