County Axrieulturist Calls.

Some of our people are wondering
if County Agriculturist Smith has had
any calls from the farmers thus far
this spring. 1t appears he has had
more than the condition of the roads
made it possible for him to give at
tention. He has been asked to trim
trees, assist in spraying, give advice
as to crop rotation, seed selection, and
fertilizers. Dairy men have asked his
assistance, likewise poultry raisers.
Fruit growers have called for his aid,
and number of farmers have asked
what crops are best adapted to the
soil on their farm. 1t is evident that
Mr.. Smith is going to be an impor-
tant factor in the agricultural, horti-
cultural, stock growing and dairy
business of La Plata and Montezuma
counties.
