Federal Reserve
Banks Open Nov. l6
Twelve Regional Reserve Banks Do
Big Business; viii Widen The
Scope Is Now Planned.

, Although the twelve federal re-
serve banks only began business
on Monday the federal reserve
board already has before it plans
for widening their field of opera
tions and increasing their store Of
cash.
The board NAV not be willing to
draw any definite plans from one
days business but the first week
may have a material effect and
may result in sugmenting the cash
OF the banks by more than $780,
600, 600. The board has under
consideration the deposit of large
part of the loose cash now in the
treasury and the transfer of most
of the government funds now de-
posted in national banks. Secre-
tary McAdoo has power to make
these changes, but so far has not
reached a decision. If the first
weeks re-discount business shows
that the reserve banks can use
more cash, however, the board pro-
badly will suggest the adoption of
the plan.
The board made public circu-
lar defining time deposits as in
cluding any deposits subject to
check on which the bank has the
right by written contract with the
depositor at the time of deposit to
require not less than thirty days
notice before any part of it may be
withdrawn. ANY agreement with
a depositor not to enforce the
terms OF such a contract shall Vi.
tiete the contract.
The postofice department has
sent notice to all postmasters that
no postal savings funds shall be
deposited in banks which are not
members of the federal reserve
system, and instructing them to
discontinue deposits in such nom
member banks at once.

To IL KINGDOM OF coLFAxn
Govt Dam
viii Soon Be
Completed

Only few months remain before
the government engineers in charge
OF the big reinforced concrete re.
elamation dam a few miles from
Elephant Butte, New Mexico, will
pronounce the job done. When
that verdict is issued the geograpb-
ers will erase the word desert"
from Iso, 900 acres OF land lying
along the Rio Grsnde in New Mex
leo, Texas and old Mexico.
With hardly percsptible interval
throughout that entire domain the
howl Of the coyote will give way to
the barking of the farmers watch
dog. The plan under which the
United States government is build
ing this big dam and power works
contemplates the eventual repay
ment of the government by those
using the water, and the passing
to them, in fee simple of the title
10 the entire property.
tits estimated that the total cost
will approximate 40. 90 per acre Of
irrigable land. This is TO be re-
paid to the government in small
annual payments extending over a
period of twenty years.
In handling the transfer of title
to the owners of the irrigable land
benefited by this tremendous pro-
iect, Uncle Sam has hit upon a
rather unique device. This is
what he has termed the Elephant
Butte Water Users association.

Maxwell Land Grant
Wins Important Case
In Supreme Court

An important and interesting
case, involving title to 1000 acres
OF fertile land on the Maxwell land
grant, has been decided by the
United States supreme court, af-
firming the opinion OF the territor-
ial supreme court, in which the
opinion was written by the late
Judge Cooley and the judgment of
the district court over which Judge
John r. McFie presided, this being
the third time the past week that
the highest tribunal in the land has
sustained Judge McFie.
The case is that of John Jenkins

the affirmation is per curiam with
costs upon the authority Of Glider

The plaintiffs claim was to some
6, 600 acres, basing his alleged IT,
tie on the adverse possession OF
the land by himself and his predC

Exports Increase To
The War Zones
Big Demand In Europe For Amen
can Products; Farmers Have A
Nucleus To Depand On.

In Europe great armies are en-
gagged in a war-of destruction; here
at home we are looking to our f.
nances, our shipping, and upon
new revenues of production to sup
ply the ever increasing demand
made upon us by the nations of
Europe.
Europe is exhausting its sup
plies Of all food stufis; horses, cat
tie, sheep and hogs, and her hung
er for American products is daily
becoming keener. The provident
farmer is bound to become rich in
the next few years Il he will realize
that now is the time to produce
to sell.
Government reports show that
the exports for the month OF Octo-
ber just passed were double what
they were in 1919 and 1913.
Some idea OF the tremendous de-
mand made upon the American
farmer can be gained from the
comparison shown in these inter
esting figures:
Barley: Last month 2,8oo.ooo
bushels, bringing SI,75o, 900 into
this country. One year ago 25o.-
600 bushels, bringing in s164, 600.
Oats: Last month 10, ,75o, 600
bushels, bringing SO, 600, 900 Year
ago 900, 600 bushels, bringing
$3.50, 900.
Rice: Last month 100000, 600
pounds, bringing S475, 900. Year
ago 1900, 600 bringing sos, 900.
Rye: Last month 7Ia, 900 bush.
els, bringing $500, 600. Year age
I46, 600 bushels, bringing 500, 900.
Wheat: Last month 10000, ooo
bushels, bringing sac, 600.
Year ago II, 900, 600 bushels, bring
ing SiI, 400, 900.
Canned beef jumped from s65,'

year, and fresh beef from 635, ooC

at SIS, 600 to 1000, 900 at 500,
900.
The total value Of goods export
ed last month was $40. 500, 900 as
against s1s, 500, 900 a year ago,
showing a difference to the credit
of 1914 of S2S, 600, 600.
This great European war demand
upon the American farmer should
show him the absolute necessity
OF securing the largest crops posi-
BILE from every tillable acre under
his control Ito farm more inten-
sively than ever before. If ever
there was a time for aggressive
ness, il is now; for the American
farmer must fill the bread-basket Of
the world.
No opportunity should be lost to
encourage our farmers along these
lines. Across she line is the goal
the goal OF prosperity, Of good
times, of the best business Ameri-
ca has known for generation.
