GOOD TALK
BY T|NsLEY

]. D. Tinsley was here Frida
and made a talk to a small crowd
It is too bad that he could not hav,
been here Saturday so that ,
large number of farmers coult
have heard him, but it was i'm
possible for him to be here OF
that day, owing to his duties ir
connection with the state fair al
Albuquerque. Very few farmers
were in town on Friday, and in.
asmuch as it could not be posi-
lively announced beforehand
that he would be here, all that
could be done was to drum up a
few people who were found on
the streets.
Mr.. Tipsley's talk was on three
principal topics. dairying and
live stock, marketing, and farm
ing methods.
His idea is that the salvation
of this particular section lies in
the dairy industry as the princi-
pal source Of income, with pigs
and poultry as auxiliaries, and to
get the best results the silo is a
necessity. In taking care of feed
in the ordinary way, even under
the very best conditions, at least
fifty per cent Of the food value
is lost, and in many cases a much
higher percentage A pit silo
can be made at very small cash
outlay, and nearly everywhere
in this county the pit silo is prac-
ticable. A portion of silage is
good for both pigs and chickens,
and with the milk can be made
to form a large portion of the ra-
tion. The kind of dairy stock to
be selected depends upon the sit
1ation, but he thought the best
plan in starting would be to get
,old of good native mixers and
,reed up from them, breeding to
1olsteins if there is plenty of
'ange, and to Jerseys if the
'ange is restricted.
In the matter of farming meth.
IDS he said that farmers must

lcross the slope and keeping the

;atch and hold the water. The
ows should be run on a level,

hem. It looks queer at first,
ut you will get used to it, The
dea is to make every row a dam ,
o hold the water and give it a
hance to soak in. Mr.. Tinsley
avs he saw a striking demon
tration of this system just a few
7eeks ago near Clovis. 1t hap
ened that the man who put it {

f a crop as his neighbor just a.
ross the road, who farmed in ,
he old way. The crops were {

rocked rows did not cultivate

vho had straight rows. Both I
7ere planted at the same time i
With the same kind of seed. The I

rop of seed, estimated to make ,

Persons who have visited the
state fair and returned tell us
that the Estancia exhibit COM
pares very favorably with other
dry farming exhibits. The stuff
shipped from Willard had not
reached Albuquerque Wednes-
day morning. The Willard Rec
ord says the best of the exhibits
were shipped from Willard, but
does not give the date of ship
ment.

THE FAIR
SUCCESSFUL

The Estancia fair was reason
ably successful, and undoubted
ly was worth to the communit,
all it cost.
There was some confusion, al
was to have been expected in ar
affair SC loosely organized, but
we think nearly everyone was
satisfied.
The weather was not favora.
BILE, being cold and windy. The
attendance on Friday was small,
but there was a big crowd Satur-
day.
On account of the weather
there was practically no attend
ance at the ball game Saturday
afternoon. but the boys had a
good game all to themselves.
The display of school work was
good, and..especially SO when the
short time for doing the work is
considered. This is the first
work of the.k ever attempted
by the Estancia schools and is
the more interesting in view of
that fact. The best feature of
it is the practical usefuless of
the knowledge gained, and the
fact that the pupil is taught to
combine the worki,.of head and
hand. One result of the display
should be to stimulate the inter-
est of parents in the schools. 1t
is to be hoped also that it will
awaken parents to the import
ance of CO. cooperating with the
teachers to the end of making |
this the best year in the history |
of the Estancia schools.
In the department of house
hold and fancy work the display
was bewildering to a mere man.
He could see that it was both ex-
cellentfin quality and profuse in
quantity ,!but:his limited powers
Of discrimination make it unwise
to. to..attempt;anything beyond this
generalization. The bazaar did
3 thriving business, and the
lunch counter in connection was
besieged at..meal times by hum
cry throng which seemed inca
pable of being wholly appeased.
The agricultural. display was
not as large nor as good as it
could and should have been. Peo-
pie were present who, after in
,pecting the display, stated that
.hey..could have drought in bet
,er stuff than some of the articles
IN display. No doubt this was
rue in several instances, and it
8 a great pity that those who
,ad.better stuff did not bring it.
However, the display was very
:reditable, and in some cases
most excellent.
Part of the exhibits was pack
d and shipped to Albuquerque
n charge of S. W. Hightower,
md there will be mighty fine
,tuff there if we don't pull down
,ome premiums.

I ed idea depended upon his ey'
as level and in some places HI
misjudged the slope, with th'
result that the water ran off. al
v in the ordinary method of laying
off rows. On the spots where
this happened the maize was
stunted as in the field across the
road, thus demonstrating be.
yond a doubt the value of the
method.
In the matter of marketing he
said, first, as to beans:
The beans from this valley
have hitherto been extremely
difficult to dispose of and have
gained a bad name because they
were not properly cleaned. They
come into competition with the
California pink beans. raised un-
der irrigation. which are thor
oughly cleaned and screened,
containing no split and shriveled
beans, gravel and sticks. He
says he has talked to the jobbers
on this subject, and they say
that beans that have not been
properly cleaned must be taken
out of the sacks, cleaned and re-
sacked, with a resultant heavy
shrinkage to be added to the cost
of cleaning and resacking, and
that they simply will not buy such
beans when they can get the |
others. He says that the farm
er can get some good of the split
and shriveled beans by feeding
to stock, but they are a dead loss
to the jobber. He says further
that we will have to take a low
price; that the California crop is
short this year, but that almost
half of the very heavy crop of
last year is still on hand, max
ing the visible supply still very
large.
The same thing as to sorting
holds good with potatoes. The
raisers in the producing districts
in Colorado sort all their potatoes
and each sack contains potatoes ,
of uniform size. Of course all
potatoes offered must come in
competition with these and it is
absolutely necessary to sort them
in order to make them market
able.
In the sale Of eggs and butter
it is a question of guaranteed :
quality. Consumers will not ,
ouch stale eggs and cow !

eggs and butter. They prefer ,
,reamery butter simply because
t is of uniform quality they

Ter to do so he must produce

Beautifying And Improving Iuka.

The Civic League of Iuka is
Justly proud of the improvements
going on in our little city. The
court house grounds under the SUI
pervision oe our worthy Sheriff is
becoming really attractive. Clean

by quite number and much need
ed work was done, We are sorry
more didn take an interest in the
school grounds, with such a hand
some school building the grounds
should be kept like a park and be
the pride and care of every boy
and girl in town. The cemetery
under the supervision of Mr. Will
liams will soon be in good condi-
ton, and we trust every one own
ing a lot there will contribute tc
the cemetery fund. This halloweo
spot should have constant care al
least s months in the year. We
note with pride some rustic bridges
sodding and grading. Our pub
lie square should have the insight

be given good cleaning (also the

I KINGS 8:56-61.


Blessed be the LORD, that hath given
rest unto his people Israel. according
to all that he promised: there hath
not failed one word of all his good
promise, which he promised by the
hand Of Moses, his servant.
The Lurd our God be with us, az
he was with our fathers: let him not
leave us. nor forsake us:
That he may incline our hearts un-
to him, TO walk in all his ways. and to
keep his commandments, ana his stat
utes, and his Judgments, which he
commanded our fathers
And let these my words, wherewith
have made supplication before the
Lord. be nigh unto the Lord our God
day and night. that he maintain the
cause of his servant, and the cause of
his people Israel at all times, as the
matter shall require:
That all the people Of the earth may
know that the Lord is God, and that
there is none else.
Let your heart therefore be perfect
with the Lord our God, to walk in his
statutes. and to keep his command
ments, as-at this day.
