SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.

From Albuquerque IN ID Herald.
FL Paso is to make no effort for the
next convention of the Panhandle
Southwestern Cattlemen's association.
according to a news article in the Ell
Paso Herald, and viii throw its in
fluence to Amarillo. Texas. for the
next convention. The reason given is
that the needs of the association call
for the next meeting to be held in
Texas. and the further reason that the
association at its present rate of
growth will soon become too large
TO be handled in convention by any
other city in the southwest than FL
PasO.
There is something for Albuquerque
to think about in all this We have no
doubt whatever Of our ability to take
proper care of this convention: and
we confidently expect to entertain the
visitors so well that they will want to
come to Albuquerque again. We want
them to come again, as the interests
OF the association take its annual
meetings from section to section
We must. however. be rather more
than sure of our ability as entertain
ers. We must convince the cattlemeu
OF 1t. There is ample reason. therefore.
for something more than Albuqueruue's
ordinary effort in the reception. en-
tertainment and accommodation ex-
tended TO this big gathering next
month.

MEXICAN SITUATION.

EDITOR FL BaSO Herald
In my Judgment the situation in Mex
leo Is worse than ii has been. ] am
certain that Carranza viii never be
able 20 handle IL. = country without
sense Of honor or morality cannot pros
per. We have a lawsuit pending in
this city today where Americans pur-
chased 1900 hides in the state Of Chi
huahua. The de facto Carranza govern
ment had no right to dispose OF them
as the hides were captured from the
Villa bandits; why didn't the CarranZa
authorities return those hioes to the
rlghtful owners? But such was not the
case with them. What II I had horse
stolen and sent the sheriff out to cap
ture the thief and horse, and the sher-
if brought the horse i'm and would not
give me my horse2 He would say. 20
nc, that is my horse, I captured him."
Compare the capture of the horse with
hides. and you have the same prOblep
in Mexico. II is one thief stealing from
another thief
Mexico has no money and can't bor-
row any money and so long as she can
get no money she cannot reconstruct
her industries and give work to her
people. Without work they must re-
ma in bandits. Until she can meet her
foreign obligations she will have no
credit. Her present socalled govern
ment is so incompetent and dishonest

Irish Stay In Ireland

Government figures show that the Irish are not
leaving Ireland they used to- Emigration figures
have dropped so percent Several thousand Irish left
the green island to work in the muniton factories in
England but then the exodus is very small COM
pared with other years.
The war helps to account for the change in figures;
but also Ireland under the legislation of the last
few wears has become better place to live in and the
Irishman does well to stay at home What is loss
is England's gain.
The United States owes immense debt to the
emerald isle for citizens who have helped make the
United States the grand country it is.

Six Weeks Ago

The weeks 60 quickly by, and six have been torn
Oft the calendar since is Americans massacred by
Mexican bandits of the Villa party at Santa Ysabel
Almost SIX weeks have gone by since the American
government requested" the prompt pursuit. capture,
and punishment of the bandits Almost six weeks have
gone by since the CaTranza government promised to
do all these things
In that period nothing has been done by the Mexican
government, so far known to the public, toward
rounding up that particular band visiting punishment
upon its members. So far as known, not single
member of the Santa Ysabel band, not single leader
has been apprehended punished
The Washington government has taken no further
steps IN the matter, far the public knows The
tragedy IS already forgotten by most Americans, and
1t looks as if the Washington government anxious
to have forgotten; certainly the Mexican government
making no effort to satisfy the American government
that 1t is acting in good faith in its promised pursuit"
NO further references to the Santa Ysabel
found IN the PRESS with scattering few exceptions
1t IS like the usual procedure when a ship sinks,
heaters burn school buildings collapse factories destroy
their helpless workers-"an inquiry will be ordered"

FIELD CROPS BY IRRIGATION.
Fort Worth. Texa

Fort Worth. Texas, Feb. -.
Editor Ell Paso Herald:
The idea seems to be prevalent that
il does not pay to grow the ordinary
tield crops. such as corn and cotton, by
irrigation; and in the irrigated sections
Of Texas comparatively little has been
attempted along this line.
Possibly 1t will not pay to grow 40 to
90 bushels OF corn or a bale OF cotton
per acre by irrigation: but I have con-
tended for many years. in and out of
the newspapers. that it will pay to grow
40 10 100 bushels OF corn and a bale and
half TO two bales Of cotton per acre
by irrigation. Can it be done? Under
intensive handling of not too many
acres, II certainly can be done. For in
stance, hearing of large cotton yield
in the Barstow, Texas. section, I wrote
TO T. D. Balloon, of Pecos Texas for
name OF grower and extent Of crop, re-
ceiving the following reply:

The farmer to whom Won refer Is Mr.
W n. Yates OF Barstow 1 will saw
that Mr. Yates on fourteen acres OF
alfalfa land made 80 bales OF cotton
mat graded ''middling and better;
that on another tract Of land the bal :
ance OF his cotton in 1915 averaged
better than one bale per acre. This was
on Nery Ordinary ground and was
graded ''middiing and better" Mr..
Yates also threshed an average OF 400
IDS alfalfa seed per acre from part OF
ms land this year. and he told me the
other day that his farm operation for
lsle would net him better than stte9
cash on so acres
IN shipment OF Is bales OF cotton
made by Mr. II. A. Blythe from Sar-
gent; eleven OF these bales went strict
mlddllng, one Of them good middiing'
and the other "middlng" which I am
told is about the average Of the grades
OF cotton shipped from here this year.
