THE MONTE VISTA FARMERS ARE PROGRESSIVE

Gently made by sixteen farmers
from Mesita and San Acacio to a
number of farms near Monte Vista
One significant fact impressed
us, and that is that every farmer
in that country is keeping close
account of expense. income. seed
proportion, comparative results.
etc, and can tell you the salient
points in the matter of the man
agement of his farm, promptly and
with convincing decision. This is
practice which we cordially rec
commend to our readers.
The first visit WAS made to the
farm of j. G. Gilbreath, who has
been feeding 22,0OO head of sheep,
several hundred Of thoroughbred
Galloway cattle and a bunch of
hogs. Mr.. Gilbreath is using
ground feed consisting of barley
and peas. The seeding was as fol-
lows; 30 to 40 pounds Of peas and
10 to ID pounds of bald barley per
acre. The bald barley is an early
ripener and when it is ripe, the
peas have just begun to mature,
and it is at this time the cutting
is done. This balanced ration is
stacked and cured, and then ground
in an alfalfa mill to about the fine
ness of alfalfa meal and fed dry,
in self-feeding bin-racks, to the
cattle and sheep.
The cattle got about 30 pounds
daily and gained 3 to 81 pounds
per day during feeding season of
about 100 days. The sheep were
fed about 3 pounds per day and
put on gain of 30 pounds in 95
days. The cost of grinding is
about 81 per ton and the yield
about A tons to the acre.
We next visited the farm Of w.
3. Woods, who has the largest silo
made-A feet in diameter and 40
feet in height, with capacity of
600 tons. Mr., Woods stated that
the silo cost complete $l,07O and
the ensilage cutter about $4OO,
making a total equipment approx
mately 81, 800. The cost of filing
the silo, all hired, cutter and all,
was ii. 10 per ton. For his ensil-
age, he planted bald barley and
peas and cut when the barley was
ripe. With his seeding, which he
considered too light, he filled the
silo, GOO tons, from 100 acres, a
yield of 6 tons per acre. This
yield was weighed over the scales
as fed.
In filling the silo, Mr.. Woods
ran n small stream of water con-
stantly into the ensilage, as he was
unable to cut the grain at the right
time. The results were excellent
and he expects to follow the same
plan next year. He says, however,
that he will seed about 100 pounds
OF barley and 80 pounds of peas
per acre this year and expects to
ill the 600 ton silo with the crop
from 63 acres.
Mr.. Woods did not state the
number of cattle and sheep he had
been feeding, but did state that he
shipped sheep to Kansas City and
went on the market with q
pound shrink only. He is now
feeding 125 head of cattle and has
30 head of hogs following them.
He feeds 40 pounds daily, divided
into two feeds per head and his
cattle are making remarkable gains,
while the hogs are fattening and
the chickens thriving. All the
animals on the farm, cattle, horses,
sheep, hogs, goats and chickens

figure out $42 per acre gross re-
turn from the land.
At this time we wish to call at
tention to the system followed by
practically all the ensilage feeders,
of placing the feed racks in the
field end to end and moving them
weekly, thus distributing the man
ure and humus on the ground at
the time to do the most good.
W. + Kistler was the next far
mer visited. He does not have a
silo but has a system of feeding
that he has used for 4 years, which
embraces the use of cured hay of
peas and oats. Fifty pounds of
peas and. 3 of oats were seeded and
cut when the oats are ripe and be-
fore the peas have podded. This
is raked and cooked and cured like
hay and fed from the stack only
when thoroughly dry. If it gets
wet from rain, he has mowful
which is fed until the stack is
thoroughly dry. He has never had
a sick animal with this ration. MI
kistler says he will use bald bar
ley instead of oats this year, be-
cause it ripens earlier and allows
the peas to be cut at better period
for hay.
He has four mich COWS which
give him return of $40 per month
aside from the family milk and
butter He feeds 10 pounds of
chop and bran twice day and all
the hay the stock will eat Mr..
Kistler has a small herd of the
finest Duroc-Jersey swine we have
ever seen. Their condition is ab-
solutely perfect and he attributes
the fact to his system of feeding.
One of the most interesting
farms we visited was that of Mr..
Zinser, the pioneer silo man of the
San Luis valley. Mr.. Zinser is in
the dairy business and is milking
sixteen cows, besides raising
large number of calves and fatten-
ing few old COWS, all fed on en-
silage. He feeds ration of ensil-
age, alfalfa and one-h half pound of
bran to each COW and is getting
one-third more milk than under
the old system before the use of
the silo.
Mr.. Zinser says he has tried cut
ting the crop when the barley was
still green mote that barley-pea
ensilage is universaD and also when
the barley WAS ripe. The cattle
seemed to like the ensilage slightly
better when cut green, but the re.
suits were not nearly 30 good as
when using the ripened barley,
either in condition of the COWS or
the milk production. They pro.
duced 80 per month under the
green ensilage and Sll per month
with the ripened product.
He produces 7 to s tons per
acre weighed out measure, and a
COW eats about 40 pounds per day.
He advises the storing of sufficient
ensilage to feed 40 pounds per day
per animal, and no more than a
man has stock to feed.
The o. W. Sylvester farm WAS
the last visited and probably one
OF the most interesting from the
viewpoint of concrete results. Mr..
Sylvester has two 50O-ton silos and
he filled them from 100 acres of
land, about 7-ton per acre yield.
From these silos he fed approx
imately 1000 head of cattle (35
pounds daily 5000 lambs and
ewes and 96 head of hogs two

SMALLEST MINE HOIST
 IN WORLD IN PHOENIX
Tiny Mechanism is Used to Demon strate WeIch Safety Appiiance-On
 Display at Trade Board

The smallest complete mining hoist in the world is at the board of trade exhibit room where it is being dis played to delegates to the mining con- gress and the public, as sample of how the Welch Safety works. c. R. Welch, inventor and owner of the Welch Safety is a Phoenician part of each year, but this is the first time one of his devices has ever been exhibited here.
 The machine is designed to automat- ically stop a mine hoist at all points where it should be stopped to prevent it running too fast, and to take care of it in case of emergency. It works on the governor principle.
 The little model which is the feature of the exhibit, is made of polished nickeled steel. It rests on counter be- meath which is a compressor, which supplies the energy to run the tiny en- gine-just exactly like a steam engine in miniature. The Safety is duplicated in a model less than three inches high, and even the drums and baskets are there. Beside the little model is one of the life size Safeties, complete in all it's detail.

 RESTRICTIONS
Dealings in Stocks on New
 York Exchange Will be Unrestricted After Satllr- day According to An nOuncement.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcH]

NEW YORK, Dec. 7.-Dealings in stocks on the New York Stock -EX- change which were halted abruptly on July 30 last, because of the disturbed financial conditions abroad, will be re- sumed under certain conditions next Saturday.
 } Announcement of the reopening of the exchange on Saturday was a fea- ture of financial circles Bonds and stocks were again distinctly firm and the aggregate dealing in the latter on the exchange were reported the largest since July 30. In the bond division the chief feature was the Rock Island group which was increasingly active at further advances. Southern Pacific convertibles also contributed largely so today's total which was the largest since the resumption of the bond sales. Other gains in bonds were limited largely to isolated issues including In ternational Paper 5s. Declines as us- ual were pronounced ranging from two to eight points, the latter loss being in Grandby mining 6's. Among the prin- cipal stock to be subjected gains were Lehigh Valley. Reading, Central Leath- CT and American Beet Sugar.
 The governing body of the exchange today authorized the committee five which had full supervision over the stock dealings during the enforced closure to take action towards reop ening and at the same time defined the committees powers under the ex- changes laws The list of stocks which will be traded under the new regula- tions include nearly 200 of the 565 list ed on the exchange. There will be no restrictions on shares selling at or un- der $15 A number of active, although unimportant, stocks come within this figure and also numerous industrials The restricted list embraces numerous industrials, and virtually all the rail- road issues which form no part of the so-called International group. It does not include United States Steel, Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, Canadian Pacific, Baltimore ( Ohio, or New York Central. all of which are extensively held abroad The principal reason for the exclusion of these stocks seems based in the belief that foreign owners and allied interests might precipitate a heavy selling movement if the oppor- tunity was offered.

 DECIDED SOON
Corporation Commissioner Jones Returns From Washington Optimistic Over Prospect for Favor able Decision.

That an early decision will be rem dered in the intermountain rate case, and that it vii be favorable to the consumers of the states affected is the opinion of Corporation Commis- sioner F. A. Jones, who returned yesterday from Washington where be took part in the oral argument of the case before the Interstate Con- merce Commission.
 The case has been hanging fire for seven years" said Jones yester day, and has been fully submitted on briefs and argued extensively by both sides It is not likely that the commission will be long in reaching q decision. While it is likely that the railroads will be granted some concessions. l feel that we made q very strong showing in the oral argument and believe the commits sioners vii see the inconsistencies of the carriers request to increase rates to this regionr
 That eastern manufacturers and shippers are fully alive to the far reaching importance of the rate case was shown by the large attendance at the final argument. In addition tn representatives of the transcont;- rental railroads and commissions of the western states, who were present, Boston, New York, Cleveland, Chica- gc and other important cities of the east and middle west sent traffic men to present arguments for or against the proposed exemptions to the long and short haul order. The argument for the railroads was made by Attorneys Donnelly of the Union Pacific and Woods of the Southern Pacific. Commissioner Jones and Judge Bartine of Nevada presented the case for the intermountain states. The Interior Counties Freight bureau of California, the Colorado Fuel and Iron company, the Illinois Manufacturers association and many other organizations were represented at the hearing.

 At the meeting of American Rail ington recently, a resolution was adopted asking congress to enact leg islation providing that state commits sions shall have entire power to act in al cases affecting interstate com merce, and that their orders shall not be annulled save by the supreme court.

Sholz Opens Congress

With the tap of his fist on the table, President Carl Sholz formally opened the seventeenth annual session of the American Mining Congress. He responded briefly but warmly to the welcome that arizona had extended to the congress, and mentioned the fact that nearly every delegate with whom he had talked, was glad he had come to Phoenix, for the sake of a visit to this wonderfully mild and autumn like climate, as well as for the pleasure and profit he would get from the deliberations of the con- gross.
 Phoenix is a fit place to hold the meetng, he declared. Surrounded as it is by a community of the great est mines in the world, it is logical place for this session. I was sur prised and agreeably disappointed by my first sight of Phoenix. I had ex- pected to find raw western town somewhat wild and woolly, after all our eastern preconceived notions of a western metropolis.

THE COMMUNITY IDEA

y OMMUNITY Meetings, enjoy
~ ed by so many townspeople last
winter, are announced by the High
School Alumni Association for this
season. The idea is so wholly
American, so truly wholesome, that
it should challenge the support of
every citizen. There can be no
doubt the mo- vitally American in
stitution is the public school. Here
the young citizens of six and seven,
present themselves to be made into
the future custodians of the gov
ernment. Coming from homes wide
ly variant, they sit at the same
desks, work at the same tasks,
and absorb the same ideals. Just
as often the class is led by the lab
orer's son as the parson s boy. So
it runs, perhaps through high
school days, then the difference Of
money creeps in. The boy Of the
well-to-do continues his preparation
through higher schools; the son of
the poorer man hustles out to earn
his living. The two types, who in
their early years delighted in the
same tasks and pleasures, drift
widely apart. Different viewpoints
sway their opinions; the former
friends too often come to regard
each other with suspicion; they
grow into the idea that they have
nothing whatever in common, that
their interests are absolutely differ
ent. They forget that vital things
are universal; that the deepest
emotions are common to the human
race. Only differences are super
ficial, and personal contact usual
ly makes men realize it. Here we
find the heart and soul of the COM
munity idea: to let the evening
meeting in the public school build
ing be the leveling force to the
adult that the school proper is to
the child, place where every men,
ber Of the community can meet on
plane of equal opportunity, to re-
new such vital and common inter-
ests as the development of their
home, loftier patriotism, and
truer ideals. The local committee
in charge will guage the success or
failure of their meetings only as
they have nurtured the home-lov-
ing and get-together feeling, so in
valuable to every community.
