A FARMERS
INSTITUTE

Letters have been received
here from Hon. Ralph G. Ely
which read as follows:
Arrangements have been made
with A. G.. Cooley director, of
Agricultural Extension work for
New Mexico, connected with the
department of Agriculture at
Washington and working in con-
junction with the New Mexico
College of Agriculture, to give a
three days institute to the farm
ers Of Torrance county at Willard
March 18th, Estancia on the 10Th
and at Moriarty on the 17th.
There will be several tfalned men
present to lecture on themes that
are of vital interest to the people
of Torrance county.
| hope that the state may make
provision for more farm demon
strators by making an appropria-
tion during this legislature and
that one Of these may be located
in Torrance county.
The farm demonstrator has
been found to be more efficient in
getting results than the model
farm or experimental station. y
Estancia people have taken
hold of the matter and arrange
ments have already been made
for the meeting here. No doubt
Willard and Moriarty people
have been equally prompt.
1t now remains only for the
farmers and their wives-the
people most vitally interested
to attend and hear what the mes
sage of the experts is.
We hope every reader of the
News-Herald will make arrange
ments to attend, and will be on
hand without fail.

INFORMATION
FOR FARMERS

The Rock Island Railway com
pany gets out a publication called
The Southwest Trail,' which
is a valuable publication for New
Mexico farmers. AS mentioned
in former issue of this paper,
the December number of The
Southwest Trail' was devoted
wholly to Sudan grass, and con-
tanned practically everything to
be said upon the subject at the
present time. 1t is a highly val
liable handbook on the subject.
The following, reprinted from
the Southwest Trail, will give an
idea Of the scope of the publica-
ton and how to get it:
DO you wish to double the
yield Of your corn? Do you want
to make money in dairying? Do
you want to raise hogs with prof
it and learn how to combat hog
cholera? Do you want ingorma-
ton about silos? Or about Su-
dan grass, the new hay crop, or
Spanish peanuts, the new fatten-
ing food for livestock? Are you
a dry land farmer and do you
want a handbook on that sub
ject? Are you interested in the
kafrs, or in sweet clover, the le-
gume that will thrive where you
can't raise alfalfa?
We will furnish free of charge,
authentic literature on the above
subjects. Send in your name
for the free mailing list of the
Southwest Trail, which is issued
monthly for the benefit of farm
ers along Rock Island Lines.
