Washington. D c.. Nov. 18th, 19lsy:
David r. Houston, Secretary Of Agri-
culture. yesterday spoke on '.The
Organization Of American Agriculture"
before the 47th annual session Of the
National Grange of Patrons of Husban-
fdry, at Manchester, New Hampshire.
In his introduction Secretary Houston
stated that it was time that all intelli-
gent people put their heads together
to consider rural conditions. which pre-
scented not class problem but a national
problem affecting city and rural popu-
lations alike.
We note the following among his re-
marks
A question frequently asked in
Washington of those connected with
agriculture is whether we have reached
the limit of our supply of the neces-
saries Of life and whether OF. not any
thing can be done to decrease the cost
of living. have systematically refused
to deal off hand, with this vastly i'm
| portaflt problem. as SO many of the in
reviewers expect. 1t is one of vast
importance and completely. There are
many avenues of approach to it; many
controlling factors and no simple REM
edy. But am not one of the pes
simists. | do not entertain the thought
for SECOND that We have approximated
the limit Of our output from the soil
As q matter of fact. we have just be-
gun to attack the problem. We have
not even reached the end Of the pioneer
ing stage and have only 10 q very few
localities developed conditions where
maximum returns may be secured. but
we have unmist bly, reached the
period where we must think and plan
and work. Wescan no longer rely on
the bounty Of nature Thefe are evil.
dences that Providence is ceasing, its
protective supervision of fools and
Americans. Conditions are emerging
which if not fundamentally dealt with
| will lead US INTO serious embarrass-
mente, 1t is well for us to face the
facts and get our bearings.
LESS THAN IL PER CENT OF LAND
YIELDING MAXIMUM RETURNS.
With population of less than ninety
five millions of people living on more
than three millions of square miles, it
IS ridiculous to speak as If our territory
had been more than pioneered The
population per square mile IN the Union
does not exceed thirty-one, and ranges
from seven-tentns of one per cent in
Nevada to five hundred and eight in
Rhode Island.
That we have practically reached the
stage where we have ceased to be an
exporting nation Of food products and
are becoming dependent on foreign
nations for the necessaries Of life is q
sad commentary upon our use of the
opportunities bountifuliy bestowed up
on US. We had better frankly face the
fact that we are relatively inefficient,
take stock of our shortcomings and
Earnestly seek the remedy.

HOW TO- KEEP
FARM ACCOUNTS
Simple Fsrm Record Should
Be Kept on Every Well
Regu sted Farm
EASY METHODS DESCRIBED
Portions Of Farm May Be Operated
at Loss Without the Owner
Discovering the Fact.


Practically all farmers keep some
teeords Of cash transactions and vari-
oils other items, but few make any ef.
fort to keep them In such way as to
ind out about the profit or loss in the
different parts of their business.
The farm is composed Of number
Of enterprises which must be consid-
cred as a whole, but which should be
studied In some detail. Few men have
either the time or inclination to keep
complete records of each kind of live
stock, each field or crop. but many can
have record that will show the re-
ceipts and expenditures on some Of the
principal parts OF the business.
All accounts should be simple A
few such records rightly interpreted
VIII give more valuable information
than any number Of detailed acconnta
that are never studied.
The Inventory.
Any attempt at keeping accounts
must have an inventory as basis.
This will give the assets and liabili-.
ties at the beginning and the end OF
the year, SO that this alone will tell
whether the business has prospered
as whole. An inventory will not
show which part Of the farm has made
moneyfor which one lost it.

financial condition of farm at the

When the report was given out
last week that sheep were dying of
blackleg in this vicinity, the Parke-
Davis medical company wired their
representative, l.. G. Gilbert, who
was at Las Animas, to come here
and investigate the matter, The
company was anxious, if the dis
ease was found to require vaccina-
ton, to have one of their men
present TO see that the treatment
was given properly. Parke-Davis
furnishes the larger part of the
blacklegoids in the market. DR..
Glynn, the government inspector,
also came to Monte Vista hurriedly
from the south end of the Valley
to make investigation and was re-
lieved to find that there was no
contagious disease prevalent.
