FARMING
CURRY COUNTY HAS
GOOD FARMING YEAR
Crops OF Wheat and Cotton and Broom
corn Largely in Excess Of Last
Years Production

Clovis, N NJ, Dec. 1s-Crops for
1912 in Curry county. are in many
ways remarkable, especially so when
it is taken into consideration that
farming must be carried on here very
different from some Of the eastern
states, and that the country is settled
up with people from nearly every
state in the union and that they are
not familiar with weather conditions
Of this state.
Heretofore it has not been an I'M
usual thing to see a crop on one side
Of the road that averages 30 bushels
OF kaffir or maize to the acre, and
on the other not more than Is to 80
bushels, due to different methods OF
farming. However, great improve
ment is manifesting itself this year
over previous years The crops now
are more uniform and all average up
with the best crops Of 1911 A good
many attribute this to the increased
rainfall entirely, but in this they arc
mistaken as the rainfall only amount
ed to about 20 inches this season and
about six inches Of that came in Sep

The wheat crop, which averaged 20
bushels per acre was made with about
13 inches OF rainfall, this being the
amount falling from October II, 1911,
to July 1912, which is our wheat sea-
son There was at least double the
acreage planted to wheat in the fail
at least four times as much was
planted this fall, as in 1911
More cotton has been planted this
year and more than Is bales have
been brought into Clovis. The quality

TO CULTIVATE SOYA
BEAN ON WEST COAST

Guaymas, Son, Mexico, Dec. 19.-The
soil along the west coast of Mexico
is declared to be very favorable to the
production Of the sOya bean, but as
yet almost nothing has been done
toward its culture.
The sOya bean is very rich IN oil.
this oil being good substitute for
cOcoanut oil in the manufacture of
soap. With a soil and climate favor
able to its production, hacendados, on
the west coast, are beginning to look
into the question Of raising the soya
bean in Mexico.
There is a soap factory at Culiacan,
Sin, and also one at Mazatlan, Sin. The
latter factory consumes about 500 tons
Of oil per year, part of the cOnsump-
ton being oil Of the soya bean which

covered me right to the feet. There

Mechanics Magazine.
A whirring disk of metal, and it gilt
tered and it sang
As it ate it's meal of sawdust, with
buzz and ring and clang;
How they rolled the logs upon it, and
it seemed to laugh with glee
AS it bit them and it tore them, with
savage melody
That kept ringing, ringing, ringing,
so exultantly and clear
As it ate one meal of forest and be-
held another near.
And my thoughts went back to boy
hood, when the old bucksaw re-
pinned
AS it slowly ate its luncheon with the
help of bacon rind.
All, how we'll do remember the old
buck, scanned and SCARED.
Where it stood beside the woodpile
at the far end of the yard;
How, with heavy heart and hopeless
would lift log and then
Put my knee upon to hold it and hun
bacon rind again;
How. the old bucksaw was rusteC
where I left it in the rain!
How it doubled where it struck the
bark and seemed to cry will
pain
When it found a knot and sought Z

It's reluctant trail across it, with thu

The Revery Of The Sawmill

Just as everything was ready had
bait enough and more
Then the need for wood was told me
from the open kitchen door:
Gone my radiant dreams of pleasure
by the bank of creek or brock,
7 must go and find the bucksaw where
it hung upon its hook,
And while other boys along the shad'
ed fishing pond were lined
was smearing the old saw blade
wits its grease of bacon rind.
SO I bless thee, Science, bless thee,
for this whirring disk of steel
That has outgrown rind OF bacon, and
l look on 1t and feel
There is vengeance in the biting of
it's metal teeth, you see,
For these logs, they were in boyhood,
each, my bitter enemy.
How they made my arms hang heavy
and they made my back 50
lame
When I laid them on the sawbuck
and l frightened up the frame
OF the old and battered bucksaw, and
its lazy trail would wind
Through the tough and knOtted cord
wood by the help Of bacon rind!

CUBA'S TROUBLE
AND SUGAR CROP

'Tis an i'll wind that blows nobody
good, and Hawaii is likely to profit
in case the threatened Cuban embrog-
lilo proves serious. The almost GER
tainty that Cuba's sugar crop this
season will be one of the biggest on
record, has doubtless had much to do
with the comparatively low quota
tions on all grades of sugar which has
maintained for the past month or
bellion which is deemed serious
enough to call bunch of American
war vessels to the scene to look after
American interests, just at a time
when this big crop is about half har.
vested. The possibility of the labor
supply being demoralized by the trou,
BILE and the destruction of lot of the
remaining crop, seems sufficiently
strong to be reflected in the markets
which have indeed, shown a tenden,
cy upward for some days pest.

The Meat Question.


Acting President P. G. Mcdonnell
yesterday recommended TO the munic-
ipal board of Manila that q repor5
on the condition of the meat situation
in this city be called for from the
chief of the department of sanitation
and transportation, in whose jurisdic-
| ton are the public markets.
The report desired will include the
present price of meat in the various
markets, compared with prices at
various intervals within a reasonob BILE
period, probably three years Ad1i-
tional information is also desired as
to whether the consumption of meat
among the poorer classes is increas-
ing, the use of chilled or frozen beef
among the market patrons, and the
effect on the city revenues
The high cost of meat and the great
difficulties confronting the cattle
trade, on which Manila and a consid-
cradle part of the provinces are
largely dependent for meat SUPPLY,
says Mr.. Mcdonnell, threaten to aggra-
vate a situation which is already seri-
ous.
1t is understood that a monster pc
tition, signed by 600 merchants and
civilians, as been forwarded to Act
ing Governor General Newton W. Gil
bert asking that the order against the
private slaughter of cattle throughout
the Philippines be rescirded and that
the practice be allowed to continue.
