A Necessary Evil, If Necessary.
Progressive Farmer.)


This Is the season for the use of
the hoe, the most expensive imple-
ment on the farm. A very large
proportion Of Southern farmers use
the hoe too much for economical
production. One man working with
two horses and a harrow before the
crops are planted, after they are
planted and before they come up,
can do more at killing grass and
weeds than twenty men can do with
hoes.
The hoe is a relic Of the days
when there was no need for econo-
MIXING human labor, but it has little
place in the. modern economical cul-
tivation of a crop. 1t may be nee
essary in the growing Of cotton, but
it is not necessary in the corn crop.
or If necessary in either, It must al
ways be regarded as a necessary evil
to be guarded against and prevented
as far as possible by the better pre-
paratfon Of the land before planting
and the more free use OF the harrow
in the early cultivation Of these
crops.

advice TO self-appointed advisers to
Democracy is to 20 home and leave
the work to Champ Clark.
A big Japanese war story was ex-
ploded in Washington and through
out the country during the week
but President Taft killed it so early
that no effect was noticeable.
The smoothness with which the
House majority is attending to its
affairs is almost unheard Of in Con-
gressional history. There seems
to be a perfect understanding
among the Democratic Members,
and if the present peaceful condi-
ton is continued, the length Of the
session will be materially shorten
ed. The only rumor Of discomfort
is in relation to patronage matters
but these differences are in DO way
serious.

Some Apple Trees
On Uraca Ranch

A large force of men are at work
on the Urraca ranch this week
planting apple trees. There will
be over one hundred acres put in
apples this spring by different
parties who have purchased land
there. Geo. H. Webster jr,.
owner Ct the ranch, will put about
fifty acres in apples; A. J. Ladd Of
Denver will put in 20 acres; DIR.
Streicher Of Ration, will have 40
acres, and ]. J.. Nairn will put out
IS acres. Dynamite is being
used to open the holes for the trees
which will be planted on the 90
foot triangular plan. The work is
under the supervision of Mr..
Edwards, an apple orchard expert.
OF this large number OF apple
trees there will be only FIVE diff
ferent yarities planted, those that
have proven the most satisfactory
and given the best results under
tests. Heavy pruning will be re-
sorted to the first year in order to
give a good root growth to the
young trees. They will be irri-
gated three times each season.
Mr.. Webster recently plated
part Of the Urraca ranch in
small tracts to suit purchasers, at
a very reasonable price. There
is plenty oiwater for irrigation and
there is an excellent opportunity
for the man OF small means to Sc
cure him a home in the best part
OF the best county OF New Mexico
and make an independent fortune
growing the famous cimarron APP
pies.

The endorsement Of William Rand

clamation setting apart a day to

consider it a great privilege to be
permitted to again name such a
day. hope that the practice will
be continued in the future so that
Mothers Day will be observed in
every state, territory and possess
sion Of our great nation.
Itis proper that one day in each
year should be set apart to be es-
pecially devoted to thinking Of and
paying tribute to our mothers #
alive, and to their memories If they
have passed away By their ex-
ample and training, mothers have
made the American people what
they are today. Mothers love IS
synonomous with all that is good
and holy; whatever measure OF
happiness and success one has had
in life is largely due TO the guild
ance and influence Of his mother,
the woman who loved him better
than any one else on earth;
Now, therefore. l, William J.
Mills, governor Of the territory OF
New Mexico, do hereby designate
and appoint Sunday, May I4th,
-oII. as Mothers Day, and rec
ommend thst on said day all our
citizers attend divine worship; that
