reminded us of the old Sucker
State and home. Possibly it was
the homesick look on our counte.
nance, or perhaps it was merely
her motherly pity for poor city
folks who never get square
meal which appealed to her, but
the good lady of the house called
out an invitation to wait till din
ner was ready. Did we accept?
How long since you've had a
slice of home grown ham? That's
only one of the many good things
| that was set before us. There
were snap beans, juicy peas,
nourishing "frijoles", and how
many more good things we do
not remember. But we are sure
full justice was done the meal, at
least on our side of the table. If
we thought we could grow such
meals on a farm, we would be
tempted to move out right away
After a short rest we whirled
away to the northward, to the
Loveless farm, where we found
another fine field of wheat,
among immense fields of corn
and beans. Here, however we
found the wheat had not stooled
nearly so we'll as in the fields
visited earlier in the day. The
straw was about the same height,
the heads large and we'll filled,
but on account Of there being on
ly about half a dozen heads to
the stalk, the stand looked thin,
On inquiry we learned that the
field had not been plowed, but
merely disced before sowing, af-
the corn had been removed last
winter. This did not give the
roots as good a bed to draw
nourishment, and therefore the
yield will be less.
Then our faces were turned
southwark through the New
Home district, where we glided
along well cared for crops of all
kinds. The acreage all through
the west portion of the valley is
large and the yield promises to
be tremendous.
All the way to the Valley View
neighborhood the fields were in
viting and prospects of a bumper
crop were never better. E. U.
Brown has as fine a field of corn
and one of beans as we have
ever seen. His neighbors are
not far behind as farmers, if in
indeed any. Bean stalks were
examined showing from thirty to
forty pods already formed with
double as many blossoms falling
off To pive wav to tiny pods lust
forming. AS a whole the crops
west and south are extremely
free from weeds, all having a
fine dark green color. All to-
gether seven exposures were
made, which will be used to con-
vince any who might think that
nothing will grow in the valley. -

A STIRRING UP IN
TAxPAY|NC MATTERS


There has been considerable oi
stir during the past week Of
ten days over the matter of the
transfer of property by tax deed
and redemption of tax sale GER
tificates.
Heretofore number of hold.
ers of large blocks of property
have paid no taxes, allowing the
property to be sold for taxes
year after year. In the tax sale
of 1909 property was sold for
taxes of the proceeding years,
and under the law the time for
the redemption of property sold
at that time expired on Tuesday
last.
There were number of large
holdings, upon which judgment
had been taken in regular form,
which were involved in the ac-
tivity mentioned.
1t seems that some large tax.
payers have become weary Of
paying high rates of taxation
simply because so large an
amount of property in the county
has been going delinquent, and
they got busy and bought some
tax sale certificates on large
blocks of property. The Mama
no, Torreon and Tajique Land
Grants, the property of the New
Mexico Fuel & Iron Co., the
Dunn and Kelley lands which we
understand to comprise lands
held for the Mora Timber Co.,
and possibly others that escaped
our notice, were involved in the
transactions.
Dunn and Kelley got busy and
redeemed, and at the same time
filed for record ninety-six deeds.
The holdings of these people we
believe comprises considerably
above a hundred quarter sections
The Manzano and Torreon
Grants were both redeemed, but
the Tajique Grant was allowed
to go over the limit, and no
doubt a tax deed has been issued
for it. The fatigue people we un-
derstan d made an effort to get
money to redeem, but could not
make terms entirely satisfactory
to all concerned, and the nego-
tiations fell through. The Man
zano people redeemed before the
certificate was sold.
The New Mexico Fuel & Iron
Co., property, including the Las
Salinas Grant, was not redeemed
and was conveyed by tax deed to
the purchaser. In this case there
is to be some litigation. E. R.
Paul, auditor of the New Mexico
Central Railway and allied in
terests, of which the New Mex
leo Fuel & Iron Co. is one, ap-
peared Wednesday and served
an injunction on the deputy col
lector, Miss Porter, enjoining
the treasurer and commissioners
from conveying any of the pro-
perty or taking any further
steps in the collection of taxes
pending the issue of certain liti
CATION in which the company i:
involved.
This injunction was issued by
Judge Medler at Las Cruces OF
the 9th of August, and is to bt
heard at Estancia on Septembel
10th.

LIME FOR SOILS


Crop Growth Indicative OF Condition
of the SoiI-Lime is Important for
Growing Leguminous Crops-Man-
ure spreader May Re Used for APP
plying Lime
Mr.. o. C. Rostel, Marble, Washing
ton, writes as follows: please let
me know If our mountains OF lime
rock here in Stevens county could be
utilized sfor commercial fertilizer by
grinding it fine without first burning
JTnburned but finely ground limo
stone is best for correcting soil acidity
The use of lime on soils is beneiic al
in places where calcium is deficient
Some crops require more calcium than
others. This is especially true Of
clovers, alfalfa, and other leguminous
crops.
Whether the soil requires calcium
depends upon its condition, and this
can be determined by ore of two
methods either by a close eXamina-
ton of the plant growth or by the use
Of ltmus paper. If you find horse
sorrel prese~ in large quantities II
Indicates IT,. your soil requires
calcium also, if clovers do not grow
well that is an indication that cal
cium is lacking.
BY the use Of litmus papers, which
may be purchased at almost any drug
store, you will be able to determine
whether your soil is acid Take a
small quantity of moist soil and press
1t around the paper for ten or Fifteen
minutes. If the blue parer is turned
to a pinkish or.reddish color, it Will
indicate that your soil is acid and ar
application of lime will be beneficial.
There are several Cat least ten forms
of commercial lime on the mark (
The best form to use Is finely ground
limestone. First: because ii Is cheap
est, and, second: the effect on tho
humus is not so serious as with othe'
forms of lime-especiall caustic or
quick lime The action of finely
ground limestone in its attack on I'll.
vegetable matter is less notlceah,e
than with other forms of lime. Thu
amounts to apply depend on how hadl
your soil requires calcium, and also
upon the available supply Of lime
stone. We have known Of instances
where as high as eight tons have been
applied to the acre with good results
and as low as a ton or a ton and bell
has been used very satisfactorily
The usual amount varies from three
to six tons to the acre This material
should be supplied to the surface after
the seed bed is prepared, and narrowed
in by the use of a peg-tooth or disk
harrow. It may be scattered by the
use of manure spreader; in fact, thi:
is the usual machine for applyins
finely ground limestone.

SALT AS A FERTILIZER

r. Fl. Munday, London, Ontario,
writes as follows: Can you please
tell me if dirty salt from tannery
spread thinly on clay loan would be
of any benefit as a fertilizer What
Is a good fertilizer for onions?'
You will find that salt is not much
good as a fertilizer. We have known
Of experiments-in fact, It has been
experimented with considerably in
which it did not affect the yield to
anv material extent 1t may have a
little effect on the physical condition
of the soil under some conditions, but,
generally speaking, whatever this
effect may be, it is not worth the
trouble of applying the salt
The four principal plant food
elements are nitrogen, phosrhor-
rs, potassium and calcium. The
first three named are the most inn

these plant food elements. Salt /"

demand an unusual amount of avail
able potassium, and for this reason It
il sometimes advisable to apply q
potassium fertilizer. Sulphate of pot
ash has been found to give better
returns than potash in other forms.
Stable manure is very good for onions,
but should be applied in the fall. One
objection to using stable manure is
that it carries a great many weed
seeds, and thus may increase the labor
of caring for the onions. The pres
ence of lime is also very conducive to
growing good onion crops.

STRUGGLES no SWALLOW TICKET.

0NE of the uncompromising Democratic newspapers
~ in State Is the Newark Delaware Ledger
The following editorial from that paper shows that
while IL swallows the Monaghan ticket up by the
recent Democratic State Convention, IL does with
grace that is so poor that It is laughable:
THERE seems TO be adverse criticism against
the Democratic ticket This won't do This ticket
made by the majority of delegates in convention at
Dover Therefore II mistake has been made it lies
at the door of the convention.
The Democratic papers beseeched the voters to
select the best delegates The voters believe they did
their duty and sent these men to Dover to put the
best men the ticket n they failed to do this the
fault lies with the delegates
The Democratic party started out TO carry State
this Fall, and chance certainly looked good but
dissatisfaction is shown at this time. II may blow
by November which hope Il will, and the rank
and file support the full ticket
State conventions generally disappoint some. which
We believe can not be helped but the want to
be men, and accept the ticket gracefully
Vote and you will be doing your duty.
EVERY year shows more forciby the objections
against State Conventions. The institution is an
tquated and unsatisfactory 10 the people, and should
be abolished Let the people elect candidates by popu-
lar votes II would prove satisfactory and cleo
tons would be pure.
How much longer will the people stand for a hand
ful of men making candidates? In this progressive
age the old, out-ofdate forms be put aside Ijp-
to-date forms adopted State conventions the only
way Of making candidates at time but that time
Is past and why hold 10 the Anticipated system?
We believe that election by popular would nrnve
highly satisfactory and the people ready adopt
II.
II has been claimed that more or less oorrupton
exists in conventions and the people camoring
for purity Of the ballot change our form OF eeong
candidates.
Consider how popular Democratic State ticket
must be when an Incorporating Democratic organ
like the Newark Ledger gags and founders so fran
tically it's efforts to swallow It. Il Is merely another
straw which shows how widespread is the Democratic
