OIL SALES THIS YEAR
TWICE THOSE Of LAST
In June Of 1914, 2i.0oo Gallons Of

Al 900 Gallons In June, 1915.
MEMBERSHIP HAS INCREASED
Mlmbres Valley Farmers Association
Now In Its Third Year Mas Many
Good Plans for the Future.

The Mimbres Valley Farmers As
sociation is doing almost twice the
business this season as last sea
son. IN June the books show that
II. 900 gallons of fuel oil were sold.
They also show that only 81 900 gal
Ions were sold during the same month
in 1914. Last month 3S,704 gallons
81 oil were sold; in the same month
last year only 1900. In April, 1914.
l8.735 gallons of oil were sold; in
April, 1918, 22,5O0 gallons wer
sold. Notwithstanding that the Hon
dale farmers organized separate
association. there has been a sub
siantial increase in membership. The
was furnished by Rich
ard Bodyiield, secretary Of the asso-
citation.
Another very important feature of
the associations work is the saving
of n half cent n gallon over the price
of last year. Tractor oil is now SELL
ing at 6ia cents u gallon and fuel oil
nl 81. cents II gallon. The profit to
the association is just the same, the
saving being made in the buying. Last
year net profit of $4,000 was
made with only u cent gallon gross
profit, the overhead expenses being
paid out of this.
The figures give some idea of the
increase in cultivation which has
come about in spite of the poor imam
rial conditions which effect develop
Incni work very materially in new
country. The a>soriniion has sew
rral new ideas which will be worked
out, the experiences of three seasons

he great benefits of collective endea-
vor. A warehouse has been needed

ing consciousness without avail. He

ty physician and medical superintend-
ent Of the county hospital. The body
