Opportunity for
Cotton Growers.

Expert cotton growers who art
looking for a location in which
to plant cotton will find the Carls
bad irrigation project, in New
Mexico, most attractive. Cotton
has been grown here successfully
on small areas since 1901. Not,
withstanding that the growers
haves sbeen as a rule men without
experience in the industry, the
average has been about two
thirds Of a bale per acre. The
crop has not been stabilized and
the production has been limited
and Of several varieties. The
region is eminently fitted for
growing long staple cotton Of ex-
cellent quality, and this grade of
cotton grown last year at Phoenix
sold for an average of 80 cents
per pound. BY diversifying
crops on the project. alternatin g
cotton with legumes like alfalfa,
peas and beans, all Of which are
profitable, the necessity of fertil-
izing the land Is usually eliminat-
ed 80 that cotton can be produced
with less expense than in many
southern districts.
The u. S, Reclamation Service
at Washington, D. c., has invest
cd several million dollars in con-
structing an elaborate irrigation
system for watering the 10000
acres included in this project,
and will furnish information con-
cerning the soil, climate, crops,
and terms.
The New Mexico valley is
beautifully situated,has an en-
joyable and healthful climate,
and contains large areas adapted
to the cotton crop as we'll as
many others. It's people are
largely drawn from the Southern
States.

FOWLS GIVEN NO ATTENTION
On Great Many Farms Chickens Must
Rustic for ThemseIves-Hen Is
Not Properly Fed.

Farmers, as class, are failures as
poultry raisers, in spite of the fact
that a large portion of our poultry
and eggs come from the farms. On
nine out of ten farms poultry must
either rustic or partially starve, and
often both.
A great many farmers pay so little
attention to feeding their poultry be-
cause they look upon it as only a
side line to save waste and not as a
profitable department of their busi-
ness. They will not give the hens the
benefit of test as to the returns they
will give for the same care in feed
ing and housing that the other live
stock on the farm gets. The cows and
horses will have their needs studied
closely and nothing is left undone that
will give them chance to do better,
but the hen must produce the best re-
suits she can with no attention paid to
her needs at all.
