Have Luna County Adopt
Plan Works Very Successful.

State College, N. NJ, Aug. 80, II.
EDITOR GRAPHIC:
Knowing that the people of Dem.
ing and of Luna county are always
ready to take hold Of and push any
proposition which has for its object
the upbuilding of the country, |
wish to submit a plan whereby
$1,000 may be obtained to help in
this work. In brief, the plan is
this: To any county that will en-
ploy an agriculturist for not less
than two years according to the
agreement put out by the Crop
Improvement Committee" and will
put up by subscription not less than
81 600 for this work, the Crop I'm
provement Committee" thru its
secretary, Mr.. Bert Ball, will dom
ate $1,000 to help carry on the
work.
have had some correspondence
with Mr. Ball and he assures me
that the work of the Crop Improve
ment Committee has the hearty ap-
proval of the Department of Agri-
culture at Washington, and they
have promised to help this work
along financially just as soon as
funds are made available. | have
corresponded with Prof. Miller-the
director of extension in the State
Agricultural College at Manhattan,
Kans. and he has already institut-
ed this work in five counties in that
state. He says that the farmers
and business men are taking right
hold of the proposition, and that
the only difficulty he has in extend
ing the work faster is in finding
suitable men as agriculturists to
take charge of the work. You will
note that the man employed by the
local county organization has to
meet the approval of the dean of
the Agricultural College. This will
insure his qualifications. You will
note further that the local county
organization has full power over
the agriculturist they employ and
can dismiss him if he fails to come
up to the contract.
The question is: Are the peo-
pie of Luna county ready and will
ing to employ an expert farmer
who will be to the farmers of that
comfy Just what a doctor is to his
patients and lawyer is to his eli
ents-an advisor and helper?" If !
understand your conditions, you
will need man who is an expert
on pumping and irrigation as well
as on growing crops. He should
also be man well versed in farm
management, ready to suggest how
many acres can be successfully in
this or that crop, the method of
cultivation and the tools best adapt
ed. and the number and kind of
farm animals that can be economi-
cally kept for service, etc.
| am sending you sheet Of
printed matter that will give you
some idea of this plan. If you will
write Mr.. Bert Ball, Exchange
Building, Chicago, and ask him for
sample of the contract that the
Crop Improvement Committee re-
quires each county to enter into
with its agriculturist, he will send
you one. have but one or two Or
would send you one from here.
Ask him for other information also,
and as soon as you get it and see
what is required, you might put 1t
up to the Farmers Institute and
the Chamber Of Commerce and get
general meeting called for dis
cussing the advisability of taking
hold of the proposition.

Fifty years ago, New Mexico bor-

Santa Fe, no doubt, would look to-

as it port of entry, supply point,

and as did Los Angeles to some ex-
tent to Santa Fe in the days of the
historic Santa Fe trail, one of
whose branches crossed the desert
into Southern California. Even
tho Los Angeles and Santa Fe, for
obvious reasons, and thru the muni-
tons of time, have reversed their
commercial relations, and even tho
New Mexico and California are no
longer neighbors, many of their in.

New Mexico is today Hinter-

ant than its present development
are its future possibilities, the
guarantees to investing capital that
the first state legislature, over
whelmingly Republican, has given
by setting itself as hard as flint
against all freak and revolutionary
legislation and passing only laws
that are conservative, sound and
sane.
New Mexico has so per cent more
people than Arizona; its population
grew 81 per cent in the decade
from 1900 to 1910. its farm values
and cultivated acreage increased al
most 500 per cent, and noteworthy
fact, no other state in the union
has so large a per cent of their peo-

SIR JOSEPH HOOKER, O. NJ.
Death Of The Celebrated Botanist.

We regret to announce the death of Sir
Joseph Hooker, O. NJ, En- glands mo, st emil
nent b~otanist, which has occurred at his re-
sideuce, The Camp, Sunningdale, in his
ninety-6fth year.
Although devoted to such O gentle pur-
suit as botany, Sir Joseph HookerIs career
was characterised by many Incidents of ad-
venture and peril. AS a very young man. he
was a surgeon in the Royal Navy and in 1899
he sailed in her Maiesty's ship Erebus as
surgeon and naturalist in Sir james Ross
Antarctic expedition. It was then that his
thoughts turned to botany-his master
science-and he laid the foundation of the
knowledge on which his future famo was to.
rest.
In the next quarter of a century Sir JoA
seph Hooker's travels took him to the Hima-
layas, Syria, and Palestine, Morocco, the,
Rocky Mountains, and California Fifty FIVE
years ago he was seized on the frontier Of
Tibet by the Rajah of Sikkim, beaten and.
imprisoned. His life was frequently threat
ened, and the British authorities had soma
difficulty in obtaining his release.
Director of Kew Gardens.
Sir Joseph Hooker succeeded his, father.
Sir William Hooker, as director of Kew Gar
dens in 1865, and held the position for TWEEN
ty years. He had grown up with an intimate
knowledge of the famous gardens, and it,
was under his loving care that they we're,
brought to their present high rank of excel
lence.
Sir Joseph Hooker's writings on botany
have an Importance well-nigh unrivalled, for
i'm addition to his whole-hearted devotion to
his science, he was a man Of scrupulous accu~
racy:
Sir Joseph Hooker was enrolled a. member
of the Order of Merit in 1907. It was his
and Lyell's advice that determined Darwin
to publish the Origin of Species"
The honour of an Abbey funeral was
offered by the Dean of Westminster, with
the concurrence of the Chapter, but was.
however, declined by the family, as Sir
Joseph had some time ago expressed a strong
desire to be inferred at Kew.-Ibad.
