Big Rains Fall
all Over the County

Big soaking rains fell all over
the county during the past few
days. which coming at this time
of the year, assures a bumper
wheat crop. Now look for Curry
County lands to soar in price,
which it is bound to do as a re.
suit of the best prospects we
have had in New NJ exico for the
last 10 years. At no time, ac-
cording to the recollection of the
oldest inhabitants, has there
been such a season in the
ground, SO much lard in culti-
walton, such favorable conditions
for a big crop. From all re.
ports people are coming into
New Mexico in droves, and this
appears the year that will put
curry County on the map as one
of the best in the Southwest.
Those who left their claims sew
eral years ago are returning,
and what few are not able to re-
turn, are selling their lands at
fancy figures. Real Estate
Brokers in this county have be-
come almost as numerous as
flies in the summer time, which
indicates better times here.
During these periods of busi-
ness depression in other parts of
the country, we are certainly
thankful for such prosperous
times.

Loaning Money
to the Feeders

Carlsbad, April 6. "A Kansas
City commission firm some
weeks ago called attention to its
willingness to make feed lot
loans to farmers and stockmen
in the Pecos valley and eastern
New Mexico. AS one of the
grounds for not feeding their
crops to stock. farmers say that
they are not able to get financial
assistance. When this offer of
feed lot loans was made, }.
Brinker. general freight n d
passenger agent at Amarillo,
took the matter up to learn what
there really was to it.
Mr.. Brinker ref erred the mat
ter to +. S. Brooks, general live
stock agent at Kansas City. Mr..
Brooks took the matter of feed
lot loans up with commission
firms and live stock banks.
They all said they were partial
to feed lot loans. and that they
were willing to make loans in
the Pecos valley on sheep and
cattle.
Under date of March 81, one
of the Kansas City live stock
banks writes Mr.. Brooks that
the usual procedure is to handle
such loans through the local
bank. Application is made on
forms supplied through the local
bank and gives the security
offered, If found satisfactory,
the applicant executes the neces-
sary papers and gets the money
through the local bank. The
letter closes with the statement:
I'VE look with favor on loans
secured with sheep or cattle in
feed lots, and would be pleased
" receive applications for such
loans. Assuring you it is always
pleasure to favor cattle men in
the district served by you, we
are. etc. "
Mr.. Brinker has here opened
the way for the feeder in this
section. 1t will make it possible
for the farmer who has the feed
to get financial assistance to OBJ.
tain stock to consume it. Feed.
ing will add to the profits of the
farm and at the same time con-
serve the fertility of the farm.
