KOVEL IS IMPORTANT
 RUSSIAN RAIL CENTRE

The National Geographic Society's war geography bulletin on Kovel. is- sued in Washington, shows why this town in the Russian province of Vol hynia is of sucb great value to the Czar's forces. The bulletin says:
 Novel. a town of 30,000 people at the beginning of the war, owes its i'm mense strategic importance to the fact that it is the junction point for rail- roads which radiate,, like the spokes from the hub of a wheel, in five di- rections. To the northwest, seven ty-seven miles distant, is the strong ly fortified city of Brest-Litovsk, over whose possession there was a terrific struggle when the Germans were fold ing the Russians back through Po- land after the first Slav drive early in the war. T, the southeast, eighty four miles away, .s Rovno, a fortress with a population of 10000 at the outbreak of the war and at that time the headquarters c. the Eleve nth Rus- sian Army Corps. Lublin, with 65,- 900 inhabitants, is 100 miles due west, on the railroad running to Warshaw, 209 miles away. Then to the south is Vladimir Volynski, thirty-five miles distant, and to the east runs the line which passes through Sarni on it's way to Kiev.
 In addition to these railway connec- tions, Novel is situated on the banks of the Turiya, one of the tributaries of the Pripet River, whose extensive marshes lie to the north, where forests cover the land. In the neighborhood of Kovel, however, agriculture is we'll developed. and at the beginning of the war fully one-fourth of the land con- tiguous to the city was devoted to the production of cereal crops. The pea sant farmers in the district of which Kovel is the capital, like those of Vol hynia generally, are more fortunate than the peasants in most of the Rus sian provinces. for here they own nearly 50 per cent. of the land.
 If the Russians continue their ad- vance beyond Kovel they will soon be in the vicinity of the famous battle field of Dubienka, almost due west, on the banks of the Bug and ten miles south of Dorochusk, town on the Lublin-Kovel Railroad. It was here that Kosciusko, at the head of 4,0OO men with 10 cannons, offered a he- roic resistance to 18,0OO Russians with 60 guns. After holding the superior force in check for five days, the "hero of Dubienka" retired unmolested to Warsaw. This brilliant achievement took place just nine years after a grateful American Congress had offer ed it's public thanks to this Polish ar- tillery officer, conferred upon him the rank of brtgadier-general, extended him the privilege of American citizen ship, and given him landed estates in appreciation of his distinguished ser vices to this country as adjutant to Gen. Washington during the Revolu- tionary War.

Some years ago, when the free range
days in eastern New Mexico were
nearing the end, when thousands of
ket and out of the country for good,
there were many people who predict
ed that 1t would require score or
/ more of years for the country to pick
up" again.
But there is every reason to believe
now that eastern New Mexico is far
on its way to becoming a great stock
farming section. Instead of the
thousands of cattle grazing on the
ranges, as in the free range days,
there are hundreds of farmers, with
comparatively small farms. who are
becoming prosperous and independ-
ent through diversified farming.
Many Advantages.
The plains country has numerous
natural advantages. The climate is
exceptionally good for man and beast,
growing seasons are long, forage and
small grains produce abundantly. The
farmer is always growing something
to feed the COW and pig and chickens
and turkeys. Stock farmers are in
creasing the number of cattle right
along and are learning to feed prop
erly and in correct proportions. In
other words the stock farmer is prov
ing the salvation of the plains country.
Enfar;nU Ncxr Ipa
The eastern tier of counties in New
Mexico is now passing through a pc
Rod which finds a parallel in the
periods through which western Kan
sas passed fifteen and twenty years
ago. The New Mexico farmer is find
ing himself, Just as the western Kan
sas farmer had to find himself,
through experiments and adjusting
things to meet adverse conditions.
Help Within Reach.
The New Mexico farmer, however,
has a great advantage over thestillers
of the soil in pioneer states some
years back. The New Mexico Agri-
cultural college, with all its resources
and its staff of experts, is at the dis
posal of the farmer Extensive and
costly experiments are constantly
under way-all looking toward the
future agricultural greatness of the
state. Any farmer in any section of
the state who is 'stumped" on any
proposition about stock farming or
farm management is invited to call ON
the state college for help. And II
there is any community, in any sec
ton of the state, where a sufficient
number of farmers are interested in
demonstrations and lectures by ex-
perts. to warrant the sending of
corps Of lecturers into the field to
offer a short course, the officials in
charge of the extension department
will be glad to offer their co-opera-
ton to that end.
