TEACHERS ASSOCIATION
Mora County Teachers Association Hold Next Meeting
at Roy, February 8, 9, TO- 1912---Prominent
Educators are to be Present

Especial to the Spanish American)
At the annual meeting of the
Mora County Teachers Associa-
tion which was held at Wagon
Mound last Saturday, it was un-
animously decided by the associ-
alton to hold their annual meet
ing for 1912 at Roy during the
early part of February.
The association is one of the
largest county associations within
the new state and has member
ship of about 60 teachers, besides
a number of members of the vari-
Gus school boards.
Roy easily defeated Wagon
Mound and Mora, both of which
made a strong fight for the meet
ing. Roy was presented as the
next meeting place by Prof. w.
G. johnson, who was ably assist
ed by J. E. Russell of Mills, both
of whom made excellent talks for
our little town, and when the final
vote was taken Roy was chosen
almost unanimously.
The meeting will be one of
great interest to the people of
Roy and vicinity, and it is now
up to the people of Roy to assist
the teachers in every way pos
sible in making this one of the
greatest educational meetings
ever held in New Mexico.

PREVENTION OF Smut

The grain smuts cause an enor-
nous loss to the farmers of this
country each year and this can
be entirely prevented by methods
of seed treatment which are COM
paratively inexpensive. The loss
is twofold the smut lessons the
yield, and wheat containing any
appreciable amount of it is fire.
quently subjected to heavy dis
count by the millers.
The sinking smut of wheat,
which is the kind usually found,
causes the kernel to swell up
slightly and become filled with a
powdery mass OF black smut
spores having a very disagreable
odor. During the threshing and
handling, the sound grain be-
comes contaminated by the in
fecting material contained in
these smutty kernels. This dam
gerous parasite is widely spread
throughout the wheat region and
is easily carried from farm TO
farm by threshing machines.
Since there are several very
+ successful and simple methods
by which farmers can prevent
it, there is really no excuse for
an up to.date farmer having
smutty wheat
Of the several methods OF
treating wheat for smut, | will
mention but two which | con
slider most applicable for the
farmers on the mesa:
1. Copper Sulphate and Lime
Treatment.
9. Formalin Treatment.
Directions for applying copper
sulphate and lime treatment:
One pound of crystallized com
mercial copper sulphate, also
known as blue stone or blue Wit
riol, is dissolved in rs gallons
water by tying the copper sui
phate crystals in a piece of coarse
gunnv sack and suspending then
Just below the surface of tht
water. A convenient arrange
ment for treating the wheat is tt
use barrels or tanks having {
bunghole at the bottom protected
on the inside by piece of wire
screen so that the liquid can b.
drawn off. Fill the barrels o.
tanks about two-thirds full O
grain. The wheat is soaked il
the bluestone solution for abou
u 2hours and then for 5 minute
in lime water, which is made BY
shaking / pound of good stone
lime and diluting to 10 gallons o
water after it is slaked. Th'

that the president appoint a
board of five directors to act with
the officers in the planning and
execution of the arrangements,

| This is undoubtedly the biggest
advertising scheme ever attempt
ed here, and the enthusiasm
shown at this meeting is the best
assurance of success. Every EFF
fort will be made to make an
equitable division of interests so
that all will find instruction and
entertainment. The premium
list is being carefully prepared,
and will be issued as soon as
possible.
Arrangements were also pro
posed to send the choicest exhib-
its to the Albuquerque fair, the
Dry Farming Congress, and the
Chicago Land Show. Suitable
advertising matter, stationery,
newspaper publicity, photographs
and all other legitimate means of
advertising are to be issued law
ishly, and every citizen of this
mesa is urged to participate in
this part of the enterprise.
The Spanish-American will be
the official organ of this associa-
ton, and will report the progress
of the fair arrangements.
1t was the expressed wish of
those who attended the meeting
that all amusement or other
schemes for getting money dur
ing the fair should be run by the
association and for it's benefit
solely, and all concessions and
privileges will be closely censored
as a matter of policy.

great state of Kentucky gave to the

that the celebration of this great and
longsremembered deceased was with
out limitation, especially by the Ne
groes of America. Every Negro,

church should have on that day and
date uttered thanks to God for hav-
ing such a man who did take upon
himself in heart, in mind and in God
and remove the dark clouds of slav-
cry and declared liberty unto all man
kind.
