FARM EXPERT To f..
ADVISE FARMERS
Agricultural Committee to
Aid Farmers; Urges Buy
ing Valley Products.

Plans for increasing the consumption
Of valley products in Ell Paso and for
aiding the farmers, were discussed at
meeting Of the agricultural committee
of the chamber of commerce held We'd
nesday afternoon. The meeting was
the first that the new committee has
held since its appointment.
Announcement was made that the
plan Of securing a county extension
man, who would be partially employed
by the state and county, to show farm
ers the best crops and the best meth
DDS of handling them, had been taken
up with this cOunty'S representatives
at Austin. Arrangements for interest
ing valley farmers in an association
plan were also discussed. In this con-
necttOn 1t is proposed to take an auto
trip down the valley at various times
farmers at Clint, Ysleta, Fabens and
other points.
Quarantine Prevents Purchases.
The government quarantine has eff
fectively shut off all markets wSere
dairy cows can be purchased, except
Arizona and California and, for this
reason, no attempt at purchasing cows
can be made at this time. It was stated
that cows purchased in Wisconsin cost
about $50 or $50 and that many of these
had been shipped to Arizona points.
Prices charged in Arizona, however,
would be considerably more, but an ef-
lori VIII be made to secure prices on
Arizona stock with view to purchas-
ing in that market.
The valley is deficient in both barns
and silos and is not prepared to handle
any great amount of dairy cows at this
time, according to Sam B. Gillett but
many Of the farmers could handle small
numbers IT was suggested that, in this
connection, some bank might agree to
finance the purchase Of a carload OF
fine cows and also a shipment OF hogs
and that these could be sold upon ar
rival here to the farmers.
To Entertain A. p. Davis.
Securing of high class foreign farm
ers for the valley was discussed and
the matter will be taken up at a future
meeting At future meeting plans
for the entertainment of A. P. Davis,
newly appointed chief engineer Of the
reclamation service, and S. B. William
son, construction engineer. who are eX-
pected to visit FL Paso the end of this
month, will be discussed. It has been
suggested that a table giving a list of
valley products and the seasons at
which they are ready, be compiled and
printed on the backs Of the dinner
menus, so that they can be retained
for future reference.
Those attending the meeting were:
George LeBarOn, chairman: G. A Mar
tin, Sam B. Gillett, Wyche Greer and
Andrew Reeves.

FOOD IN
SOIL IS LACKING
Pecos Valley Farmers Use
Phosphoric Acid With
Good Results.

State College, n. N, Feb. 1S.-In a
bulletin on Fertilizers for New Mexico
Soils" r F. Hare, station chemist Of
the State college experiment station,
says:
"Phosphoric acid, nitrogen and potash
are the three plant foods that are often
deficient in soils, and the price paid for
fertilizers used in other states is based
on the percentage amount of these
three substances. Nitrogen is usually
valued at about 20 cents per pound, and
the other two at about cents.
There are two ways by which the
plant food needs Of our soils can be de-
termined: first, by analysis of the soil;
second, by field tests. BY comblna-
ton of these two methods it is apparent
that crops grown on our soils respond
to the application OF phosphoric acid
and nitrogen.
Potash is probably never required
in any New Mexico soils. 1t is present
In large quantities both in the soil and
water. The Pecos river water, for ex-
ample, adds IS pounds of potash (H2 o.
for each acre-fOct of water.
Use Of Fertilizers Increased.
There has been a large increase in
the use of fertilizers during the past
few years. Acting on the suggestion
of this experiment station, the Peeps
valley farmers are using phOSphorlc
acid on alfalfa and cotton, with good
results. Several hundred tons will be
used in that valley the coming year.
1.-THE high price of nitrogen often
prohibits its use, except for truck
farming When our farmers use this
plant food, it is perhaps desirable to
use it in the form of sulphate Of am
monia or dried blood when stable ma
nure is not available or desired.
'Phosphoric acid can be bought as
bone meal, rock phosphate and acid
phosphate. Experiment shows the lat
ter gives the best results, at least for
quick returns in New Mexico.
Nearly all states have fertilizer laws
to prevent the sale of adulterated goods
by INSCRIPTIONS manufacturers. The
sales in this state are now sufficient to
justify such laws here, and it is hoped
that the present legislature will take
action to this end

Best Crops to Rinse.
In, this climate such early crops as
lettuce, radishes, and beets can be
raised to advantage. Probably the most
valuable crops raised in the cold frame
are young plants for later transplant

most commonly grown in this cay. The

for permanent setting in the field by
