First Entertainment Of Luesll
Course

The Neil Litchfield Trio are
offered as the first attraction in
the Lyceum Course.
Mr.. Litchfeld is a humorous
impersonator who changes the
we'll bred smile OF amusement to
the unprecedented grin, quickly
followed by the uproarous hilar-
ity of sheer fun. Mrs. Litchtield
is a charming violinist, and the
daughter an accomplished piano
ist. Both support Mr.. Litchheld
admirably in the rural playet
"Down at Brook Farm, in which
he plays the old farmer to the
life and also the untamed and
uututored country boy with a
pocket full of humble bees and q
head full of mischief.

OPERATlON
ON EYE-BALL

Dennis Chaves, assistant city
engineer, is recovering from the
after effects of a surgical opera
tion upon his right eye a growth
upon the eye ball having been
cut away in a diamond shape in
cision. Four stitches were taken
in the eyeball to close the wound.
Mr. Chavez, like all engineers,
uses the right eye almost en-
tirely in transit and level work
and will be considerably handi-
capped until the bandages can be
removed, which it is hoped, will
be before the end Of the week. -

Cow bIO0tS dft6r
Eating ThIst|6S

On Tuesdsy evening Mrs. J.T.
Kelley lost a valuable Jersey
cow from bloat. The COW had
been pasturing on young tumble
weed or thistle. It has always
been thought that this was good
feed for cattle, and it is a we'll
known fact that cattle relish the
weed, when young and tender.
Whether the bloat was caused
by the frost on the weed or the
dew, as is the case with red
clover, is not known, though
this is quite probably the cause.
Mrs. Kelley refused an offer of
seventy-five dollars for the COW
last weeks.

Workman Strike
ON Penn Lines

A general strike involving
several thousand carmen, boil
ermakers and helpers, sheet
metal workers, etc, went into
effect or the Pittsburg division
of the Pennsylvania railroad
yesterday. The union leaders
claim that 10000 men are af-
fected, while the officers of the
road claim not more than
1900 are out of their places.
The cause is the allegation
by the men that in its re
trenchment policy the rail
road dismissed men who were
active in union ranks. The
railroad company has made no
statement except to deny
hat the number of men on
trike is so large.

with Irrigation

San Antonio, N. M, May e.
John Mcintyre, on his model
farm in the Rio Grande valley
here, has given striking de-
monstration of what profits may
be realized by intelligent pump
farming in this section. Last
year on this ranch, which is locat-
ed a mile from San Antonio, Nc
Intyre made a record for four
hundred tons of alfalfa from one
hundred acres. During the same
season he produced 81, 400 worth
of chilli pepper on four acres. On
this farm this year he has plant
ed twelve acres of vegetables,
onions, chile, potatoes and so
forth. He has a pumping plant
with a % foot lift and 1000 gal
Ions capacity, the pump being set
at a depth of 22 feet under the
ground level, the water supply
being sub-artesian. Mcintyre
has one of the best conducted
and most profitable farms in the
valley and has shown what
any farmer can do by industry
and being up to date.

TWO BABES FOUND
DEAD in SANTA FE
Officers are Looking ssfor Parties who Left
Body Of one Infant on River Bank and
Threw other into Cemetery

An effort was made last winter
by the local authorities to dis
cover the identity of the person
or persons who either killed a
helpless babe or at least made
away with it's body in very
suspicious manner. 1t was found
in the Water street sewer.
Secrecy was maintained by the
press in order to assist in the de-
lection Of the criminal or acrimi-
nails.
The discovery Of two more
similar crimes in the past day or
two has led the New Mexican to
publish the details. shocking as
they may be, because as Presi-
dent Elliott says Publicity is
necessary. Vice and crime seek
SECRECY for the commission of
crime. F"
How much longer is Santa Fe,
the capital of a new state, a city
of centuries of civilization going
to put up with these shocking
practices?
What may be termed case
No. l. for the identity of the
helpless babe remains unknown,
was that of a little girl. scarcely
more than a few days old. Her
body was discovered by two boys
playing along the Santa Fe river
a hundred feet or more west of
Don Gaspar avenue bridge Sun
day evening. The body was
packed into square, thick
wooden box resembling a tobac-
co box. The infant was dressed
in white, with a lady S silk hand
kerchief over it's face. Beads
were tied around it's neck. There
were no shoes nor stockings nor
was any jewelry pinned to the
clothes. The boys who made the
gruesome discovery notified
Justice Ricardo Alarid and Po,
liceman Jose C;eafuegos was sent
for. A thorough examination of
the babes clothing was made
and certain initials in red were
found on the little skirt. These
may assist the police to discover
the identity of the criminals, Po-
lieeman Cienfuegos buried the
babe.
The second case was that of a
baby boy whose body was found
in or near Rosario cemetery by
the keeperof the cemetery. The
body was not'placed even in a
box but was thrown into gun
nisack, the end of which was tied
by wire. This was evidently
thrown into the cemetery for it
was not buried. Efforts are be-
ing made to discover the perpe-
traitor Of this crime also, for the
idea of three cases of this kind
in few months and the feeling
that there may be many more
that have not been brought to
light, strikes horror into the
breasts Of citizens who believed
they were living in the era of civ
i.ization. = New, Mexican

BOv'S Corn
Growing Contest

The Agricultural College has issued
bulletin on "Boys Corn Growing Con-
tests" which should prove of interest
to every farmer boy in New Mexico.
The ibea of getting the boys interested
in better farm methods has taken hold
in every portion of the United States,
and with good results. We quote from
the bulletin as follows:
For a number of years, corn grow
ing contests among the boys of the
farm have secome Increasingly popu-
lar, so that now there are thousands of
boys in almost every part Of the Uni
ted States who enter these competi.
tions. In many of the states, the boys
have taught the older farmers that tits
not only possible to raise more corn on
fewer acres, but more crops of all kinds
with but very little added expense.
They have shown that very little more
work is required to take care of a corn
field in which every hill has two vigor-
GUS stalks than one in which perhaps Is
hills out of every 100 are unproduc.
tive.
Let US take for granted that Dona
Ana county raises an average of 80
bushels of shelled corn per acre and
that every year 5000 acres are planted
in this valuable crop. The yield in this
case would be 10000 bushels, which,
at IS cents bushel, are worth $l27,-
500. Now if each hill were made to
yield one ear more, the average for.the
county would increase to 76' bushels,
worth s64 60 an acre, and would there
by increase the value of the yield of
the county to s323,O00. Do you not
think that we can at least learn to
grow corn so that there may be one
good ear to every hill? This would
place our average yield in the neighbor-
hood of 46 bushels per acre.
The Agricultural College wants to
get the boys of the Territory interested
in farming and in raising better crops.
Last year, over 4e, 900 boys took part in
corn growing contests in the United
States and this year the number will be
much larger. Some boys have become
50 successful in raising corn that yields
of 100 bushels per acre ere common oc-
currences with them. Jerry Moore, of
Winona, S. c., is the champion corn
grower of the world. He raised 22s
bushels per acre at cost of 43 cents
bushel. Steve Henry, of Louisiana,
received the highest honors for econo-
mical farming by raising lao bushels at
little more than 13 cents per bushel.
Bascomb Ushur, farm boy of MARI
boro County, ). G. made 15e 1.2 bushels
of corn on an acre of land. He raised
this corn at cost of 81 cents a bushel
and sold it partly for seed at $2.oO per
bushel. The returns from his crop and
the prizes he won in the competition
brought him $500 and he was able to
go to college. Fourteen boys in Vir-
ginia grew an average of over 13O bush
els per acre at a cost ranging from 121l
to "a Sd cents. In Holmes County.
Mississippi, in 1909, the boys produced
an average of rs bushels of corn per
acre, whereas that grown by their
fathers and neighbors averaged about
l6 bushels. Nearer home, in Texas.
boys raised 80 to 80 bushels OF corn
where their fathers had made only lS 70
20.
