VALLEY FARMERS
Professor Bassett viii Appear
at High School in Afternoon;
Agricu|turlSts to Form Or
: ganization

Professor Bassett OF the United
States bureau Of markets will speak
AT the high school auditorium az Z
clock on the afternoon OF January s.
Professor .Bassett will come TO New
Mexico from Washington 10 attend
the fnrmefs' week program at tho
state College of Agriculture and Me,
chanic Arts nj State College. lie will
leave there the night of January on
his way back and arrive here the fol-
lowing morning.
The farmers OF this section of the
Rio Grande valley have been trying
10 make arrangements for the profess
s0r's appearance here ever since they
heard that he would be in the city.
II was not known until Yesterday,
however. that he would consent. Prof.
A. c. Cooley. director of extension and
state leader of farmers cooperative
demonstrations. sent word that he
would talk TO them upon the subject
OF markets, upon which he Is proba-
bly, better fitted to speak than any
other man in the United States.
Farmers Keenly Interested
The time of his talk was selected
with the fact in view that many OF
the farmers would not be able to at
tend at night. The hour . O'Clock In
the Afternoon, will enable agriculture
lists for miles from the city to hear
Professor Bassett without any ineon-
venience IN coming here or returning
The attendance of practically every
farmer IN this vicinity Is promised
The subject of Professor Bassetts ad-
dress is one in which they are all vi
tally interested. In fact II is proposed
that they form an association imme-
diately along lines Suggested by him
looking toward securing better prices
for their produce. Farmers complain
that they are receiving far lower
prices than those paid for farm prod
uce shipped in here from other states.
The association will have for its
purpose the remedying of this condi-
ton. They expect Professor Rassett
to point cut the way for them TO com
bat this condition. and will follow his
advice closely in organizing the new
association. The farmers at present
have an organization. but new asso-
citation founded upon the expert s
plan is believed by them to he neces-
sary to accomplish their aim.
Professor Cooley, in notifying the
Journal that Professor Bassett would
be able 20 give his address in the af-
ternoon, as many farmers requested,
said
The market problem. of course, is
one of the big problems before our
people In the state. as well as the ma
ton. and Professor Bassett comes to

address on this subject
