OTERO FARMERS
GIVE UP ALFALFA
Are Planting Small Grains
and Forage Crops; Price
of Alfalfa Too Low.

AlamogOrdo, y: N, Dec 16.-The
prevailing low price Of alfalfa for the
past two years has convinced the
ranchmen in the AlamogOrdo district
that they must look to other crops for
the bulk Of their revenue. Tracts that
for years had borne nothing but alfalfa
have been ploughed up and seeded to
small grains and forage crops.
J. L. Sutton, who operated a thresh-
ing outfit during the summer and fall,
furnishes the following figures. which
show the weight Of the several grain
crops which were harvested and
threshed: Oats, 235, 200 pounds; wheat.
1850; barley, $500; rye, 1900; milo
maize, 1850; ferterita. 1850; Kafir
corn, 25.SG0; cane seed, 1000: alfalfa
seed. 1875: Sudan grass seed, 1900.
The acreage for this winter and next
spring planting viii be between three
ard four times as great as for the sea
son which has just closed. The fore
going figures do not show an appre-
ciable part of the forage crops raised.
for the reason that those crops gener-
ally did not go through the thresher.

Don't you know it's the part of a brother of man, To find what the grief is and help when you car? Did you stop when he asked you to give him a lift, Or were you so busy you left him to shift? Oh, 1 know what you meant what you say may be true But the test of your manhood is, What did you do? Did you reach out hand? Did you find him the road, Or did you just let him go by with his load?

Independence County
 Man Writes From Vest

Editor Journal.-I would like to have space in yourpaper for few lines to my old friends in Independence county.
 l left Arkansas only a short time ago and have found from experience that Arkansas is mighty hard to beat. 1 did not expect to get into New York City out here, but did expect to find a country something like what 1 had been used to. However l was sadly disap- pointed.
 But what you see on your way out here in a measure re- pays you for the disappoint- ment after you get there.
 The man l work for is from Arkansas and is a nice man to work for. We are located in narrow valley, walled in on either side with high moun- tains. This is stock country, as that is all it is fit for. This is the place for a man who likes stock and likes to be 'alone.
 They tell you that irrigating is easy and that you don't have to work much, but 1 have been kept pretty busy.
 Getting wood is the hardest job 1 have. We have to pull 1t down with a team, and a fel- low has to look out for his team, and himself or get killed. He also has to keep a sharp lookout for snakes as there are many of them here.
 When it gets cloudyyoucan't see the hills although they are very close by. We have had some bad storms here as bad as 1 ever saw. But rain doesn't do any good toward cooling the weather and the days are ex- tremely warm, as the wind don't blow in the valleys,
 A few are cutting hay the second time, and grain is about ready to cut.
 The people here should be good riders, as that is the only way you can get anywhere. Very oftenyou go from ten to thirty miles and not see any body. But you see lots of wild animals of all kinds.
 Out here they want a fel- low to do many things an Ark ansas boy is not in the habit of doing. But l have gotten along very easy, as l have never been scared of my job. If any of the Arkansas boys want to come |out here, they should learn housework, for this goes hard with a fellow who has not been accustomed to doing that kind of work. l have seen many girls, but these Mormons beat them all. l never knew what a Mormon was before l came here. 1 would rather be a black man than a Mormon. A Gentle cant stay in one of their towns long.
 The people here do not like to admit that the hay grown

here is not as good as Arkansas hay, but they have to do it. l have to let them have 1t on grain. But that is all.
 Sunday is just like any other day here. l have seen only one minister since 1 have been here. He got lost and stopped to stay over night with the man 1 work for.
 The water here is very bad, as it has so much gyp in it. When it rains it takes the water sometimes ten days to clear up.
 The ladies-but l will let them off easy, as no man likes them better than 1 do, not to have one of his own. But out here they have a stroke of paralysis when a man comes in sight.
 There are a number of oth- CT things l might write about but will not mention them, and will leave the reader to guess at some of it.
