now being made to secure such an
| expert for Ell Paso county
The County Farm bureaus of Callfor-
MIA are under the general supervision
of the College of Agriculture of the
Univerity of California although that
supervision is nominal and consists
mainly, in providing the experts who
act as County Farm Advisers and who
are paid their salary by the state.
Expense Paid by Farmers.
The expenses of the Advisers" are
borne by the members of the County
Farm bureau. These expenses are usu-
ally raised by an assessment based
upon the acreage held by each mem
Der. Thus far it has been found that
the expenses run about $1,000 per year
and includes the upkeep of an auto
mobile which enables the Adviser
to cover much ground each day in visit
ing farms where his services have been
requested. An effort will be made to
induce the county of Ell Paso to bear
a part of the expense here.
The land owners of the valley have
a Water Users association, but as
there are many farmers in the valley
who are renters and are thus not
members, and as many of the land
owners are not farmers, it is deemed
advisable by the chamber of commerce
committee, to organize the actual farm
ers into associations for improve
ment and self protection. With this
idea in view, Mr.. LeBaron's committee
will this spring make trips into the
various communities and hold meet
ings with the idea Of organizing the
farmers.
Idea not New One.
The idea Of employing. an adviser. is
not entirely a new one 1t has often
been talked of but no action leading
to tangible results has been taken. 1t
works wei in California and those in
terested are urged to write the secre-
tary of the College of Agriculture
Berkeley, Cal for Circulars 10 and
us, which are devoted exclusively to
the SUBJECT OF the County Farm bureau
and the County Farm adviser.
Information may also be secured
closer home, DOna Ana county, N NJ,
has such an adviser and his work is
bringing good results, according to re-
ports received by Mr.. LeBaron.
Good Investment.
That the employment of an expert
in soils and irrigation, in order to
hasten the development of the Ell Paso
valley, would be a good Investment has
long been held by men interested in
the valley, but thus far nothing has
been done toward securing the neces- |
sary fund from which to meet his
salary and expenses. 1t has been sug-
gested, along this line, that a meeting
OF all farmers and land owners in the
valley be called for the purpose of
getting pledges, on an acreage basis,

Five cents per acre per year.

to fill the position, can be secured for
$1,000 year. Prom the experiences. Of

making it necessary in the case Of the
farmers of the FL Paso valley to raise
$4,000 year, or about five cents per
acre per year for all irrigable land in
the valley.
That small acreage fee, It Is believed
can easily be raised il the owners of
the land can only be got together and
the matter put to them in the proper
light.

which are seldom infringed upon. and
OF these the most important is her
right to marry whom she pleases. or
rather to refuse to marry one who
does not please her. the Southern

reasons for this First, women mar
ried against their wills have been
known to commit suicide Second.
women married against their Wills
have murdered their unloved husbands.

And to these reasons may be added
the fear OF marital unfaithiulness. So.
in forcing oneself upon one OF these
women there is liability to a great loss
the loss OF valuable property or OF

girls are well cared for. partly that
they may be comedy and draw many
