ONE OF THREE DRY YEARS.

The Herald can't be accused of
trying to get settlers into Baca
county under false pretenses.
We know this western country,
and believe we know the needs
and wants of the man who would
make his home here.
We do not believe in exaggerat-
ing either the country's advan.
tages or disadvantages; but we
would rather err on the side of
being over cautious in a portray
al of it's possibilities than to over
color them.
There is no doubt that many
of our new settlers will become
greatly dissatis fed with the
country because of the drouth
this year, and some will shake
the dust of Baca county from
their feet and cast their fortunes
elsewhere.
And yet the Herald has been
telling all these good people for
the last three years that the con-
ditions of the highland west are
dry and not wet, and that the
settler who doesn't come here
expecting and prepared to meet
these conditions will be a sadly
disappointed man or woman.
You will remember that we
have been telling you that such
another general year as either
1914 or 1915 would probably not
be known here for some genera
tions to come. that you should &c
slow on small grain, make corn
the smaller end of your crop.
and do your banking on broom
corn, sorghum, maize, beans,
etc.
We don want you to get the
impression, from the heading of
this article, that there have been
just three dry years-inclusive
of this one-in the history of this
country.
Dry years are a common thing ,
so common that grass frequently
dries up entirely during the sum-
mer, sod crop can be counted
on only about once in several
years, and new ground is not
safe until after three or four
years of proper cultivation.
Our dry Years, to give an ex-
planation to the caption OF this
article, may be designated as
common and extreme, this year
being one of the three or posi-
bly, four of the latter class that
have prevailed during the thirty
years of the country's settle
ment.
1898 was a year practically
without spring or summer mois-
ture-all over the west. In Ba-
ca county much of the grain
planted in the spring laid in the
dry ground till the last of July,
and some till the first of Septem.
Der. The rains then being CO.
pious, nearly everybody raised
fodder to carry them through.
Except for a two-foot snow
in the latter part of February,
the year 1908 over the larger
part of Baca county would have
been the dryest of the thirty.

Hughes in his acceptance
speech makes a great hue-and-

whether he is still against the in

by the New York legislature
when he was governor.

1t is probable that the repub-

Hughes speech was designed

And after taking up three
fourths of his acceptance speech
with Mexico, Hughes fails to tell
us whether he would send "Mrs.
Henry Smith son home, or
il he would take the rest Of the
widows sons and march on to
Mexico City with them.

You can look in vain through
that pedantic address of Hughes
for a clue to what he
would have done with Germany,
or would now do with Mexico.

Thirty-sevep teachers enrolled
at the normal the first of the
week, and six have enrolled
since. With something like sew
enty-fve teachers in the county,
the attendance at the normal
should not be less than sixty; but
without a legal normal the en-
rollment certainly speaks well
for the teachers of Baca county.

the Ohio board Of agriculture. The
grass serves the triple purpose, ne
said of rejuvenating the ground In
which it is grown, making a profit

Dean Alfred Vivian OF the college

told the farm institute workers, colln

attended the meeting that soil fertil'

influence, according to f. D. Coburn,
secretary of agriculture in Kansas,

"Hogs pay the taxes, clothe the
family, send the children to school,
and make possible the development
Of new homes" said Mr.. Coburn.
"They have provided the food for the
Anglo-Saxon race. Without them
Chicago would be a prairie Village,
Kansas City barren hill, and Omaha
a ferry crossing. Take away the
SOW and our banks would close and
the wheels of commerce cease to
turn.
The pig is a quiet, inotfensive,
Christian sort Of animal, symbolic to
a greater extent of the peaceful vir-
tues for which our nation is so con-
spicuous than is the rowing, piratical
eagle. The snout inverting the soil,
is a symbol of peace and industry.
The pig is thrifty animal, turning
to good account everything which
comes his way, and a far better rep
resentative of the American charac-
ter than the rowing, robbing eagle.
The hog is condenser; he is
manufacturer of hams, hash and head
cheese, lard, Illuminating oils, hair
brushes, liver pudding, toothbrushes,
glue, buttons, bacon, bristles, fertil-
izers and fats, knife handles, Whis-
ties, soaps, souse, sidemeat, saddle
covers and sausage. He is a mint
and the yellow corn of our country is
the bullion he transmutes into golden
coin.
IN the American hog we have an
automatic, combined machine for re-
ducing the bulk in corn and enhanc-
ing its value. 1t puts ten bushels of
corn in a space Of less than a bushel
measure and in so doing quadruples
the value of the grain"

STREETER GIVEN
 NATIONAL HON0RS
G. A. R. Man Is Now Assistant
 Inspector General '

Commander Frederick " Streeter, for the past four years head of Stan ley Post, C.. A. R., has been appointed national assistant inspector general of the Grand Army of the Republic, one Of the highest offices in the or gan1zat1on and one that is a direct stepping stone to the highest pinnacle Of the G.. A. R. fame-national com mander-in- chief. The office of na- t1onal assistant inspector general is not staff office, but is a distinct po- s1t1on and the holder secures his ap- po1ntment through National Com manderin- chief w. J. Patterson of Pennsylvania and National Inspector General Charles H. Haskins of Cali fornia. The office carries with it the duty of keeping in close personal touch with the condition of all Grand Army posts throughout the country and necessitates visits to various posts.
 High Compliment Paid.
 The position of national assistant inspector general is one of the highest in the gift of the Grand Army and is not only a great compliment to the recipient but to Stanley Post of this city, of which he is such a prominent member.
 Commander Streeter is by far the leading Grand Army man in Connecti- cut and possibly in the east. For the past four consecutive years he has been the head of Stanley Post and during his regime has done much to put that organization on a sound bas- is. It has been due to his untiring efforts that it has thrived and it has always been through his energy, aid ed by his fellow veterans, that the visits of the state or national officers have been made here. Commander Streeter and the late Valentine B. Cham berlain, who was head of Stan ley Post during the years of 1871-2-3-4, are the only local veterans who have held office for four consecu- tive years. Major Ira Hicks was com- of the post of four terms, not consecutively. Tn addition to having had charge of the destinies of Stan ley Post for the past four years Com mander Streeter has also served as state medical director on the staff of Past Department Commander James R. Sloan and as aide-de-camp on the staff of Past National Commander-in- Chief Trimble and Past Commander n-Chief Washington Gardner.
 It is expected that when the annual election of Stanley Post, G. A. R., is held Spencer H. Wood, now senior vice commander, will be chosen to cad the post.
