Harvest Hands Needed

Possibly for the first time in
the history of New Mexico, there
is a call for hands to harvest the
wheat crop. Curry county re-
ports that there is such an abund-
ant crop that outside help is need
ed to garner it. Even now thresh-
ing machines are working daily
to dispose of the wheat crop of
last year and will not finish the
job before the new crop is ready
to be cut. Wheat is proving a
more profitable crop than either
alfalfa or fruit, for there is al
ways good market for it, while
last year, in San Juan county,
the apples were not picked be-
cause of the bountiful crop that
brought apples down to cent a
pound, while in the Pecos Valley,
alfalfa is down to Sc. so a ton, so
that it does not pay to bale it. =

THE VITAL PROBLEM Of
AGRICULTURE
BY Peter Radford.

There is no escaping the market
problem and the highest development
of agriculture will not be attained
until it is solved. for a market
is as necessary for the producer
as land on which to grow his crop.
Governmental and educational insti-
tutions have spent $180,000,000 in the
United States during the past ten
years for improving soil production
and improving seeds and plants, but
very little attention and less money
has been given to the marketing side
of agriculture.
The problem is a monumental one
and one which will never be solved
until it gets within the grasp of
gigantic organization where master
minds can concentrate the combined
experience and wisdom of the age
upon it. 1t is a problem which the
farmers, merchants, bankers, editors
and statesmen must unite in solving.
The Farmers Union stands for all
there is in farming from the most
scientific methods of seed selection to
the most systematic and profitable
plans of marketing, but does not be-
lieve in promoting one to the neglect
of the other We consider the work
of farm demonstrators valuable and
we ask that governmental and com
mercial agencies seeking to help us,
continue to give us their assistance
and advice, but we believe that their
influence should be extended to the
marketing side of our farm problems
also.
We cannot hope to develop manu-
featuring by over-production of the
factory; we cannot build up mercan-
tile enterprises by the merchants load.
ing their shelves with surplus goods
and no more can we develop agricul-
ture by glutting the market with a
surplus of products.

FREE PORTS
BUILDERS Of
COMMERCE
CONGRESS SHOULD GIVE THEM
PREFERENCE IN APPRO-
PRlATIONS.
BY Peter Radford.

This nation is now entering upon
an era of marine development. The
wreckage of European commerce has
drifted to our shores and the world
war is making unprecedented de
mands for the products OF farm ant
Z factory. In transportation facilitie
on land we lead the world but our POI
facilities are inadequate, and our fla.
is seldom seen in foreign ports |
our government would only divert tn
energy we have displayed in conquer
ing the railroads to mastering the
commerce of the sea, foreign bot
tom would be unknown on the oceans
highways.
This article will be confined to a
discussion of our ports for the pro-
ducts of the farm must pass over our
wharfs before reaching the water. We
have in this nation 81 ports, of which
IL are on the Atlantic and 10 are on
the Pacific Coast. The Sixty-second
Congress appropriated over $51,O00,-
coo for improving our Rivers and
Harbors and private enterprise levies
a toll of approximately $50,000,00O
annually in wharfage and charges for
which no tangible service is rendered
The latter item should be lifted of
the backs of the farmer of this ma
ton and this can be done by Congress
directing it's appropriations to port
that are free where vessels can tie vi
to a wharf and discharge her cargo
free of any fee or charge.
A free port is progress. 1t takes
out the unnecessary link in the chain
of transactions in commerce which
has for centuries laid heavy hand
upon commerce. No movement is so
heavily laden with results or will
more widely and equally distribute
it's benefits as that of free port
and none can be more easily and ef-
fectively secured.

Arizona Most Interesting
State Of FOrty-Seven

In the recent issue of the Sun
set Magazine, Walter Woehlke,
special writer, in an article, en-
titled ''The Landof Painted Hills"
a story of Arizona, concludes with
the following paragraphs:
Arizona is the most interest
ing of the forty-seven states.
There is not a dull, commonplace
square mile in all it's territory;
even the desert, the crystal-clear
air, the strange cacti, the rich
flora and queer fauna of t h e
waste places have deep interest
for him who has eyes to see glory
of the sunset, to whose under
standing the lowhung stars of
the desert night can sp k.
The geologist be he bent on the
acquisition of knowledge or the
discovery of new lodes behind a
pair of burros, can find food for
endless study in the greatest cop
per-producing state in the world;
the archaeologist has not y e t
solved the mystery of the lost
race which built the ten thousand
known cliff dwellings in every
part of the state, which left the
ruins of Casa Grande and Monte
zuma's Castle. For the ethnolo-
gist there is no finer field of OBJ
servation than the pueblos of the
Navajos, the Hopis and Zunis on
the Painted Desert. The mere
sightseer has the Grand Canyon,
the Petrifed Forest. the remark
able Mission San Xavier at Tue
son, the unique motor ride from
Globe, the copper camp, through
the mountains of the Roosevelt
National Reserve to Phoenix.
For the sportman, t h e hunter
and angler the entire center of
Arizona offers a mountainous,
timbered upland almost unknown
beyond the limits of the state
and, if he had abundant leisure,
the territory to the mort h of
the Grand Canyon, in the Kaibah
National Forest, will astonish
him with the abundance of it's
big game. The cattleman with
chaps and spurs, the tanned pro-
spector behind his laden burros,
the Indian with blanket and ola
step aside on the Arizona roads
to let the motor car pass. No
where else in the West do the
shadows of the prehistoric past,
the types of the frontier, t h e
manners and customs of pioneer
days mingle so intimately, so art
lessly with the ultra modern as
in Arizona. Whoever has n t
seen Arizona, he does not know
America. l."

A MILLION HUSBANDS
WILL BE NEEDED

One million husbands are want
ed needed lin war-torn Europe.
One million wives or sweethearts
have seen their husbands a n d
lovers go away, gaily and brave
ly to the tune of martial music
never to return.
Millions of children have seen
their miserable. widowed moth
ers sit night after night by the
fireside during the winter just
past, and mourn for that husband
and father whose cold, mutilated
body is buried in some far-off
country, without even a wooden
headpiece to mark his grave.
That is what world war costs.
Thousands of European moth
ers, in addition to seeing their
husbands go away to serve as
cannon fodder, have given their
sons. They see now a picture
rapidly nearly completion the
total passing of a family-t h e
very end.
That is another 'trifling eX-
pense" incurred during the wag-
ing of a world war;
This world war has been con-
Quoting it's business" more than
a half year now. Military ex-
perts say that the worst part OF
the gigantic struggle will come
during the summer months. Mill
tary commanders argue that it is
not so hard for the men to fight
in the summer as in the winter.
Bigger campaigns are planned.
The bigger the campaign t h e
more lives will be lost. Military
commanders do not figure this
cost. The bigger the campaign
the larger number of widowed
mothers, fatherless children and
forsaken lovers. But the busi-
ness of waging a world war must
be carried on despite these 'tri-
fling" costs, consequently t h c
larger campaigns are being plan
ned-and they will be carried
out.
The fact that entire families
in fact, almost entire races-are
being exterminated does not deter
these commanders. The blood OF
war is coursing madly thru their
veins, and they all mean to con-
quer at any cost. Many of them
feel the cost, it comes very close
to them, but they are trained to
fight and to pay the costs with q
smile on their face, and to &C
back out to collect with interest.
Experts who have kept close
account of the casualties in the
war figure that not less than
l, 900, 900 lovers a n d husbands
have been killed during the first
six months of war. And they al
so figure that the most disastrous
battles are yet to be fought, and
that by Christmas there will be
at least l, 800, 900 women in Eu-
rope who want and need hus-
bands.
And husbands they will have
to have unless their race be prac-
tically exterminated. - Wills on
Van Orsdell, in Denver Post.
