Notes on Baca.

Editor Herald
The abundant crops of the past
year in our county raises the
question how n;uch of it was
due to the unusual rain fall, and
how much to better methods OF
cultivation and the introduction
of new products.
1t is no reflection on the first
settles of the county to say that
they did not farm in a scientific
manner, because they gave their
chief attention to stock and 9TH
er matters. But new class OF
farmers has now come, who will
depend more on grain growing.
and who will use better methods
of cultivation than in the past.
The introduction of feterHa
has given us a new grain, the
the equal of maize, but
perhaps no better, unless it
pre- yes to be a greater drouth re-
sister, which is yet to be shown.
These two grains, with cane,
corn and kafir, and COW peas,
provide an ample variety of prof
liable crops for forage.
Whea. will be grown more, but
until we have railroad facilities
it cannot be raised on a large
scale,
Broom ccrn has been shown to
be a standard and money maxi
ing crop, even though it itrequires
considerable hard work.
II is probable that millet, alfal-
fa and pencillaria will receive
more attention, while potatoes
melons, pumpkins and squashes
will add to our production.
In my opinion ii will pay to
use fertilizers, commercial or
otherwise, on the gardens.
Poultry raising is going to re-
ceive much more attention than
it has had in the past, and there
is no better country for it.
Of course, stock raising will be
the chief reliance of our county
but the products enumerated a
oove will be valuable adjuncts
to this new industry.
When we think over these
things, it seems to be assured
that farming in Baca county is
bound to be far more profitable
than it has ever been.
We have more productive |
soil, with a greater variety of |
products. and better climate,
than any part of western Kan
Sas.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE
Within the last four or tiv..
years woman suffrage has grown
from an academic to practical
question and the political par
ties have come to recognize it as
one of the leading questions of
the day.
Next to the war, more room is
given to it b7 the press in it's
news and cdi orial columns than
any other Issue of modern times.
Political parties in accordance
with growing public sentiment,
are trying to win the support Of
the women by adopting planks
in their platforms favorable to the
suffrage movement; they recog-
Dize that success is impossible

or course with the suffrage
movement women ale changing,
but we expect that. In lie cit
les the women are beginning to
abandon the feminine attri-
butes. They want TO live their
own lives; they initiate men
in their attire. They smoke

lives and take up many occupa.

In the numerous talks made by
representatives of the various firms

the conviction that The Wade plann
of raising $150,000,000 is the only
feasible plan of aiding the cotton
situation. The majority of the deal
ers look upon the part they can play
in rai3:9r such pool as a step to-

FEDERAL SYSTEM TO HELP.
Reserve Board Making Ready to Open
Banks November I.

Washington, Oct. 22-Although rep
resentatives of the twelve federal
reserve banks voted in favor of open
ing the banks November 80, members
of the reserve board today went ahead
with plans for putting the new bank
ing sys en- in operation November 16
If this can be accomplished. Secre
tary McAdoo favored November 16
and President Wilson thought the
banks should begin business at the
earliest possible date.
An early date was favored by some
of the Southern bankers as they
thought the federal banks might rem
der aid in handling the cotton crop.
The directors were leaving for their
homes today to begin the work pre-
limnary to the opening OF the banks.

RUSSIANS BEAT
ENEMY At WARSAW
Successes Lead Slav Troops
to Conclude Prussians Are
] Ready to Quit.

Petrograd, Oct. 22.-The repulse
of the kaisers forces from Warsaw
means another defeat for his picked
troops numbering about 100000 north
of the Tilitsa. From Tilisa south
to Sandomir, the Germans are holding
their positions.
The Germans left was routed and
sent to the rear. The Russians are
now on the left of the German army,
south of the Tilitsa.
The weather has been very bad,
continued rains clogging the roads
with mud and slush.
1t is generally believed here that
the signal success which the Rus
slams have gained west of Warsaw is
only prelude to the retirement of
the enemy everywhere.
While the German forces still hold
their ground along the Vistula, their
positions will apparently be render
ed untenable by the advance of the
Russians north of that region, espe-
cially as the Austrians are on the
point Of giving way.

BRITISH FREE
u. 5. STEAMER
John D. Rockefeller Releas
ed Upon Demand Of
President Wilson.

Washington, Oct. 22.-Sir Cecil
Spring-Rice, the British ambassador,
was informed today by the London
foreign office that the American tank
steamer John d. Rockefeller, seized
by British cruisers, had been releas-
ed.
Acting Secretary Lansing of the
state department announced today
that the United States had proteste
to Great Britain against the seizure
of the American steamer Brindilla
now at Halifax, N. S., as unjustifiable
and had demanded her immediate re-
lease.
Secretary Lansing said the Ameri-
can protest made through Ambassa-
dor Page was similar to that lodged
yesterday against the seizure of the
John d.. Rockefeller, bound from
Philadelphia to Copenhagen and re-
leased today. He stated that the
Brindilla also was plying between
central ports-New York and Alex
andria, Egypt-and he was satisfied
that even though there had been a
change OF registry from German to
American. the ownership was con-
tinuously American.
The cargo of both the Rockefeller
and the Brindilla contained illumi-
mating oil, which has not been speci-
fically declared contraband in any
list sent to the state department by
Great Britain although officials here
believe that Great Britain considers
oil included in the general prohibit
ton.
