BOOMING FARMING IN MEXICO

DDS of agriculture At present the Mex
lean farmer on the average is backward
in his methods, but the Diaz govern
ment realizes that agriculture is the
principal industry of the country. One
feature of the policy of the govern
ment in this regard will be TO allow
immigrants to import free their house
hold effects and their agricultural i'm
plementS. The National Railways are
cooperating with the government in this
and will make extremely low rates for
transportation when the matter Of
colonization has been worked out There
is also under discussion the formation
of a special colonization bureau.
Government Has Little Land.
There is one drawback to the plan,
and that is that the government has
practically no land left of its own.
Most of the land down there is held by
individuals in large tracts, and sland
owners as a general thing object to
cutting up their estates into small
tracts and selling them. However, this
is being partly overcome by land COM
panies, which buy estates and cut them
up for sale. Mexico depends largely
upon irrigation for the cultivation of
the land, and the government is encour-
aging this in every way. A recent act
appropriated s3O.O00,00 to be paid in
subsidies TO persons who improve land
in this way and the government will
give IS in gold for each acre that is ir-
rigated and put under cultivation.
There are really no American col
opies in the agricultural districts yet.
They like American farmers down there
but they don't care particularly where

what the owner of Peggy, aristocrat OF
the hen world. gets whenever she
voices her sentiments.
Exaggeration is entirely unnecessary
to show her worth-entirely so, for
Peggy, a prize hen, called the ten
thousand dollar beauty, earns $500 a
week at almost any respectable poultry
show in this country AT this figure
she stands well up with the famous
vaudeville stars in the matter of salary.
Think of it-every time Peggy" lays
an egg she adds 500 to swell the funds
of Ernest Kellerstrass, of Kansas City
who is her owner and who contracts
for "Peggy's" various appearances.
Peggy stands so high in the matter
of reputation that five of her chicks
were sold recently for $500. Peggy"

-EW MEXICO leads all the older
NJ commonwealths in the matter of
= advanced ideas in agricultural
education in one important respect
In addition to well equipped agri-
cultural college and experiment sta
ton, maintained jointly by the federal
and territorial governments. like those
found in the older states, New Mexico
has gone one step farther and is now
establishing the first demonstration
farm in the country under control OF
any state or territory. Oklahoma has
something of the same kind, but less
comprehensive in its scope
Quick Action on Bill.
At, the session of the New Mexico
legislature last winter bill was IN
troduced and supported by Hon. M g
Mechem, now judge of the seventh dis
trict of New Mexico, providing for a
demonstration farm on each of the
eastern or dry farming counties Of the
territory.
The bill failed of passage in that
form. but was modified so as to provide
for one such farm. and fixed the loca-
ton in Quay county. which was in Mr.
Mechem's district, and is a typical dry
farming county, and Tucumcari is
readily accessible from all the dry
sections.
The first appropriation is $4,000 for
the first two years and the first funds
became available November l, 1909
Board Controls Farm.
The control Of the farm is vested in
a board Of three trustees on whom de-
wolves the entire work of directing and
overseeing the management of the
farm. The board consists Of J. A
Street, Herman Gehrharjt Of Tucum-
carl. and Cresciano Gallegos. Of Santa
Rosa. \. NJ.
In order to reduce the expense,
school section, near Tucumcari, has
been leased, and thus the heavy initial
cost of the land is saved, leaving most
of the appropriation for the necessary
equipment
The school section had been under
lease and the purchase of the leasehold
carried with IT pretty fair outfit OF
farm buildings, all of which can be
utilized.
A competent man has been employed
as manager and work has already
begun in preparation for next sea-
sons crop
Adopt Campbell System.
The trustees have decided to adopt
the straight Campbell system of cult
walton for several hundred acres, and
while the work on the farm will be
done under their direction, they will
avail themselves of all the assistance
that can be given them by Prof. Camp
bell

moisture in the ground all over QUAY
county and it is believed that it can
be demonstrated that this can be re-
tanned in sufficient amount for the
crop next season.
Experiment. and Demonstration.
Some people inquire what a demon
stration farm Is and in what way it is
different from the existing experiment
farms throughout the country
The difference is really shown by the
words experiment" and '-demonstra-
ton but a little further explanation
will serve to make il palmer.
The one respect in which an expert
ment station differs from a farm is
that its income or rather its support,
does not depend on the sale of its pro-
ducts. 1t may. and TO a large degree
does, devote ifs efforts in directions
where no possible revenue is expected
For this reason failures are expected
on the experiment farm, or at least, do
not cause surprise or affect the rev.
enue, and in fact are often as valu-
able from the experimental standpoint
as are successes, in arriving at the de-
sired knowledge. Therefore, an expert
ment farm is not designed for a model
to be followed by actual farmers who
must support themselves by the pro-
ceeds Of their farms.
Duty of the Farmer.
The proper function of the expert
ment station farm is to prove all
things" while the farmer must hold
fast to that which is good"
He must avoid mistakes. But how
shall he avoid them? That is the prob
fishes and distributes, free. the re-
of Tr,T M
fact. most people find these bulletins
far from satisfactory. This is true of
those who read them. The great ma
jority Of farmers never read them.
Now right here is where the prac
teal usefulness of the demonstration
farm comes in. In the first place, a
good demonstration farm comes as near
to the conditions of the average actual
farm as possible. and, for this reason.
it ought to make enough money TO
show a profit on the years work. I'm
less IT does this it is a poor sort of
demonstration" In order to do this
farmer must do. That is, avoid mis-
takes.
Work of Demonstration Farm.
Now right here is where the demon
stration farm works hand in hand with
both the experiment station and the
actual farmer.
From the experiment station it takes
only such crops as the experiments
have proved to be successful and grows
them on a commercial scale by the use
Of the methods Of cultivation which
have also been tested and found sue
cessful.
Big Help for Farmers.
On the farmers side the demonstra-
ton farm. by producing profitable crops
under conditions very similar to his
own, becomes a valuable object lesson.

himself what crops will grow in his

For several years there has been in

but its work is concerned with the

Two years ago they established a big
agricultural college in the city of Mex
leo. to which students come from all
parts of the country. This institution is
still too young to have turned out
graduates and therefore its influence
has not been felt on the agriculture of
the country, but it has a tremendously
large number of students 1t is the in
tentiOn OF the government to establish
agricultural schools in various parts of

"Of the resources OF Mexico with re-

Government Commissioner
On His Way From Europe
Gives Some Figures
Eager For Immigrants
Following Pinchot in the
Matter Of Forestry.

Some idea of how Mexico is going to
work to develop her agricultural re-
sources and attract immigrants was
given by Dr. Pehr Olsson-Seffer, special
government commissioner for the in
vestigation of economic products of
Mexico. who arrived yesterday at the
Holland House from Europe, says the
New York Sun.
Mr.. Olsson-Seffer has been in London
for three months studying at Kew Gar
dens and getting information for publi-
cations which are TO be issued by the
Mexican government. Two years ago
he was sent round the world. studying
agriculture in various countries. Dr.
Olsson-Seffer, who is a Swede, was for
merly professor OF botany in Leland
Stanford Junior university.
My work is in connection with the
department of fomento, which nearly
corresponds to that of commerce and
labor in Washington" said DR.. OLSON
Setter yesterday. Mexico is now thor
oughly alive 10 her opportunities rs an
agricultural country and is now start
ing out on policy of developing them
to their fullest extent. 1 do not think
it is understood in thes United States
what a great agricultural country Mex
leo is You have the idea up here that
the principal thing down there is min
ing ana thaI the next in Importance is
the railroad business. For the benefit
of distinguished American short
time ago l hunted up the statistics.
The latest available were those of 1905
O6, but these showed that the income
from mining in that year was only
1925, 100000, as against s155.OO0 600
from the products of the temperate
zone and s175,OOO,OOQ from tropical
agriculture, or a total of $3.50. 600 600.
Today the income from agriculture is
four times as great as that from min
ing. According to the statistics the in
come from the railroad business in 1906
06 was s90,0O0,00O.
Experiment Stations
1.-The Mexican government is now be-
ginning TO start experimental stations
throughout the country Just now it is
seeking to devise methods of encourage
ing immigration and to show foreign
capitaI the opportunities there are for
investment in Mexico along these lines.
AS result of my tour two years ago a
book is being published on the oppor-
tunities in Mexico, and there will be
three others. One which the govern
ment itself will publish to the number
of several hundred thousand in many
languages will describe at length the
resources of the country and the oppor-
tunities for making money there These
will be distributed broadcast in the
United States and Europe
1.-The government intends to do every
thing possible to encourage the immi-
grafton of farmers who understand and
will bring in the most uptodate meth

vicinity, and how he may grow tn m
himself, which is a very different thing
from reading about it in a book.
The result ut Tucumcari will be
watched carefully by the progressive
farmers of New Mexico and elsewhere,
and it will be seen that If it works out
as now proposed, the cost to the terri
tory viii not be great. and there is 20
reason why it may not be a source Of
revenue.
In a recent address James J. Hill
said that If he had hisrway about l..
he would build one less battleship and
use the money to establish a thousand
demonstration farms instead.
