One Of the most important Of the
many conventions to be held. in Al
buquerque during the state fair, o.
tober 5 to 10 will be that Of the New
Mexico state dairymen's association.
This organization is a pet project Of
President Ralph C. Ely Of the state
fair commission, himself a practical
dairyman with a large herd Of pure
blood Jerseys. Mr.. Fly sees in the
encouragement Of the dairy industry
the development Of one Of the states
greatest resources, not only for Am
erican farmers. but for the native
land owner who can be made indie
pendent by the ownership Of a small
dairy herd. The association has en-
ployed a secretary whose work from
now until the fair begins will be the
organization Of dairymen in the var
ious farming communities. in the ef-
fort to bring about cooperation in
breeding better dairy cows. and in
encouraging exhibits, Of which
great many are already assured not
only from New Mexico but from the
famous herds of Kansas. Oklahoma
and even Of California. While these
outside herds will be shown only for
exhibit and instruction purposes and
will not participate in the prize mon
ey. they will be an education in them
selves to the dairyman. active or
prospective. Through the opening Of
the model creamery at Albuquerque
to the dairymen. by lectures in the
exhibit pens and at the creamery, the
dairyman may receive during the fair
complete short course in dairying
which will be worth many times the
value of the one fare for the round
trip railroad ticket. The fair has
secured round trip rate from DEM

win a prize in the corn contest of the

short dairy course at the agricultural
college at Lansing. There his apti-

of animals attracted the attention OF

Averill was engaged to go to the Roy
croft farm and take personal care of

the farm nearly two years and in ad-
dition TO getting better wages than
most men get in the city, he is get
ting an experience that cannot be
measured in dollars and cents for q
boy. Further. it is a source of great
pride to him that he is the caretaker
of one of the greatest cows in the

MUCH LOSS FROM
USING POOR SEED
One Must Continually Select Good
and PerSiStentIy Destroy
Bad to Succeed.
(Ry A. 7. WooDsO


The Importance of natural variation
and differences in climate in relation
to agricultural production, has never
been fully realized. Under natural
conditions only thost survive which
can modify their habits of growth so
as to make a successful resistance to
destructive influences and propagate
their kind.
When man enters in as a factor he
may, and usually does in a considera-
BILE measure, interfere with these nat
ural adjustments. He seleS.s individ-
uals and cultivates Them for some
natural popularity, and as a result
irtensifies these features; but unless
he follows natures methods and de-
stroys the plants that are not best
adapted to his conditions and require
ments he soon gets a mixture OF indl-
viduals, good, bad and indifferent, and
cultivates them all together.
On the other hand, If he selects the
individuals that give the best results
under his peculiar conditions and pre-
vents their crossing with the less de-
sirable sorts, he soon develops a strain
of high efficiency and productiveness
for those particular conditions; but,
like nature, he must continually select
the good and persistently destroy the
bad, or eventually lose all and see the
variety run out"
The great Importance of selecting
and growing seed under the conditions
under which the future crop must be
grown is now apparent.

fine EXAMPLE OF RECLAMATION
WORK IS Seen IN MICHIGAN

The greatest example of reclamation
In the state of Michigan is that of the
owosso Sugar company, which has
large factories In Owosso and Ian
sing. The company has converted
10000 acres of wholly useless land
into 10000 acres of tillable soil, one
of the best farms In the state, doing II

When the company had trouble a
Few years ago getting the farmers to
pledge enough acreage of sugar beets
to make a long and profitable slicing
season, the company decided to turn
farmers themselves and not be at the
mercy of the beet growers. They
wanted an immense acreage all In
one bunch, II possible. The big
look, but that was practically all wa
ter. The company's engineer was a
German who had seen much service
in Europe. He suggested that the big
farm be bought and that vast drain
age system be built. 1t was found
that the land was too level to make
draining 1t a profitable venture, so he
decided that only by the use of dykes
could the land be reclaimed.
That was eight years ago. Today
the entire 10000 acres lie behind huge
dykes. "a of them, and nearly 1000
acres are under cultivation. The farm
is said to have cost $4,000 before a

age is put out to beets, for general
farming is carried on to a considera-
BILE extent. Six hundred acres Of
beets were grown on the farm this
year. Two thousand five hundred
acres of peppermint were also raised,
and the company maintains three
stills, where the mint is extracted.
The farm is located in Saginaw
county, six miles east of Fergus, on
the Saginaw division of the Michigan
Central railroad. The waters of the
Saginaw river had flowed over the
lands for many years and the idea
that it could ever be reclaimed had
never been seriously considered until
the big sugar company was about

The farm furnishes employment TO
500 people during the summer time
and $50 during the winter. Many of
the employees and their families live

Large quantities of cabbage and gar

company has very fine herd of i'm

of $50 horses, including two carloads
of Belgian horses, recently arrived.

The discovery or invention OF the
cheapest and most easily prepared OF
all the insecticides and fungicides
and the one which can be used TO
greatest advantage during the period
of vegetative dormancy, the lime
sulphur spray, was one of the hap
pest of recent years.
1t has proved by far the most de-
pendable agent in keeping under con-
sively multiplying of all orchard
pests. the San Jose scale and like
wise all the other fruit tree scales
and was soon ascertained to be equal
to and in some instances superior to
the famous Bordeaux mixture for the
extirpation or rendering inert the
over wintering germs of blights, rusts,
fruit-rots and other fungous diseases,
says a Missouri writer in the Farm
Progress.
Bacterial blights, crown gals on
various trees and berry bushes and a
few other rather rare tree diseases do
not however yield to this or any other
chemical application. and can only
be kept in check by frequent use of
the knife, pruning shears and by dig
ging out and burning. But for the
insects and diseases above enumerat-
ed, when made according to the
stanard formula and applied at the
proper time and in the proper way,
1t has no superior as an insecticide
and fungicide. It may be adapted to
other purposes also, as. for example,
to the spraying OF poultry houses,
pigeon lofts and Enclosures for the
larger animals.
One very successful poultry grower
uses it in the place of the common
claims that it is an absolute remedy
for and preventive of mites and other
parasites when applied to the walls
as spray and of scaly leg and other
skin diseases when well diluted on
the legs and other parts Of the fowls
affected and, in fuller strength, to
the perches and nest boxes.
When a large number of trees and
shrubs are to be treated the spraying
solution can be more economically
made at home than purchased in
concentrated form. The directions
for making the winter spray are as
follows: Stake 80 pounds of best
lime in iron kettle in just enough
water to do it thoroughly, and while
It is shaking add 80 pounds OF
flour or commercial sulphur by dust
ing it on the bubhling lime. and stir
it vigorously to thoroughly mix the
two ingredients, adding enough hot
water to make the stirring easy.
Let it boil for one hour and when
partially cooled strain through sack
ing into a large barrel When ready
to use, add enough hot water to make
100 gallons and apply while still
quite hot.
For the small family orchard 1t
saves much trouble to buy the con-
centrated lime sulphur solution-pre-
pared with chemical accuracy at a
number of manufactories--by the
barrel and dilute each gallon with
IL gallons of hot water. A bar
rel of the concentrate sold last year
for eight dollars. with one dollar re-
bate if the barrel was returned. This
is by no means an expensive prepare.
ton, as a single gallon of the con-
centrate, reduced according to direc-
lions, will spray a quite large tree.
The spraying should be done as
early in the winter as possible. choos-

Dollar Pickles Their Hope.

Dollar wheat is the goal of the
American farmer in many parts of the
country; dollar potatoes is the aim
of many other sections, but about this
part of the state dollar pickles is the
hope Of a large number of farmers.
Pickles certainly have been the big
thing with farmers here since the first
years the big packers in Chicago and
Pittsburgh have been operating here.
