Why No. sp.e;., Appl. Tr.in..

Thousands Of bushels OF choice APP
Piles are lying rotting upon the ground
in Iowa orchards. Trees are breaking
because of the enormous yield. Choice
varieties of fall and early winter ap-
pies will go to waste. The trouble is
not that nobody wants them, but be-
cause of the lack Of marketing facili-
ties. Millions of people would make
use of Iowa's surplus If it were pos.
eble to reach them with the fruit.
Orchardists claim that it is impos-
sible to ship in less than car lots and
reach the market within a reasonable
time A prominent orchardist in north
eastern Iowa states that Minneapolis
and ST Paul offer a good market for
early apples but by the time they are
kept frcE, one week to ten days In
unventilated box cars and bumped
about at every station along the way
in switching they are unstable when
they reach their destination. Those
who ship in car lots have not been
able to convince the railway COM
panies that refrigerator cars and fast
thru train service are important.
1t is no uncommon thing to witness
the passage across Iowa on the main
line railways complete trains OF
oranges from California. The best OF
refrigerator cars are used and special
trains run ON fast schedule that the
fruit may reach the eastern market
in the best possible condition. Why
not special fast refrigerator trains
from Iowa's orchard districts? II the
railroads were to announce. such a
plan the apple industry would flourish
because the orchardists would combine
in an effort to make shipping days a
special feature and organized selling
could be carried on with profit.
Eastern and northern markets would
be delighted to obtain promptly and
in perfect form the vast waste that il
sure to obtain under the present in
adequate facilities for reaching mar
ket.
And then there is the matter Of de-
livering perishable vegetables. No
provision Is made whatever for taking
care OF this kind OF farm products. The
result is that all kinds Of garden stun
rots on Iowa farms and millions Of
hungry people are LETT Samishing In
the congested centers Of population.
This country 10 greatly in need OF an
organized system of marketing. It is
no credit TO Q great people to permit
the awful waste that Is noticeable all
about US every year whom an organ
ICED effort might make It possible to
reach people who are famishing be-
cause OF a lack Of food. II 4 correct
system of marketing were in vogue In
this country ~ 1t Is in Denmark and
other foreign countries those who pro-
duce the stun would be compensated
for their efforts and the consumer

Watering Cattle Before Selling Them.
In the current issue Of Farm and
Fireside appears an editorial calling
attention to the fact that there Is too
much guesswork IN grading cattle.
Weight OF cattle Is guessed at by buy
ers. A much better plan would be to
have them paid for on the basis Of
dressed weight Following Is an ex-
tract from the editrial:
There is too much guesswork In
marketing cattle.
1T Is thu custom OF most shippers
to water their cattle before weighing.
Cattle are weighed with fifty or sixty
pounds Of water each inside Of them.
The man who does not swell his
stock in this manner loses the fifty or
sixty pounds each. for the buyers as
sumo that the swelling has taken
place.
This is another case Of guesswork.

not AS long as the buyers have to

There are about one hundred actors in
the play and thirty-two speaking parts,
so Mrs. Wilcox's beautiful lyrics, with
their lofty sentiment, are delivered as
she probably hoped to hear them. Al
though there is no singing. there is much
incidental music, including a motif by
Arthur Foote, which recurs frequently.

! Of farming over that conducted in the

Big Development Planned.
Another large syndicate from Cali
( fornia has purchased $1,000 acres of
rich valley lands and is planning a
campaign of settlement that will make
the eastern part Of the Mimbres valley
most satisfactory place of abode for
high grade farmers.
The Illinois Development association
operating for owners of land purchased
from the Mimbres Valley Alfalfa Farms
company, had upwards of $500 acres
Of land in cultivation last year. and is
now marketing over LOCO, OOO pounds of
threshed milo, 1000 tons of milo fodder,
$50 tons of alfalfa, some Of the finest
hogs in the country, and it is the pur-
pose OF an auSlllary company to raise
a vast number OF high bred hogs, cat
tie and horses the coming season.
Good Wells Being Developed.

Many SiIOs Built.
A good many silOs have been built
during the past year, and it has be
come a fixed fact with the farmers that

reported by farmers where corn. feterita
and maize sowed together in the same
row produced from 16 to II tons Of en-
silage per acre.
Money In Feeding.
Farmers are realizing all the time
more and more that there is big money
in dairy cows. hogs and poultry, and
that the Mimbres valley is an ideal
spot in which to make these industries
a success.
Farmers from Oklahoma and the mid
die west are bringing splendid Per-
cheron and Belgian horses to be used
upon their farms, and are bringing
along high bred cows, hogs and poul-
try, the most Of the hogs being the
DurOc Jersey and Poland China breeds.
Poultry and Bees.
Poultry of any strain does exceeding
" well here and no finer turkeys can
be raised in America. A number of
farmers are also awakening to the
fact that bee keeping is a very profit
able enterprise, and the time win soon
be here when Mimbres valley honey
will be as much sought after as MIN
bres valley tomatoes.
Vegetables Canned.
The various canning factories are al
ready planning to do large business
the coming year as wholesale dealers
seem always pleased to arrange for a
large supply Of the canned products,
at or before the opening Of the canning
season. The flavor of Mimbres valley
tomatoes. because OF the peculiar con-
ditions of sunshine and water cannot
be excelled in any part OF the United
States.
Good ROnds Construction.
The Luna county road board has built
this year about IS miles of county high
ways, and the state expended a goodly
sum Of money in the building of good
roads in Luna county.
The establishment Of the Deming
Cottage sanitarium has been a matter
Of great Importance, and the success
Of the enterprise has made it neces-
sary to constantly add new cottages
for the handling Of patients.
BrOOms Are Made.
The establishment of the Deming
broom factory has likewise been a mat
ter of great Importance to the valley,
as broom corn can be grown here very
easily and prOfitably.
