WHEAT AND
RYE A PLENTY
IN QUAY COUNTY
Estate coIIeae Rulletin.l

st. College. N. M, July 30.-Al
though the farmers on the plains sec
ton of Quay county have met with
many difficulties in the work OF rais-
ing the present wheat crop, they are
not in the least discouraged. They
are going right after fall planting, &C
cording to e. I'M. Gates, acting county
agent in Quay, and the indications
are that more wheat and rye will be
planted this fall than over before. A
survey of the wheat district is now be-
ing made by Mr.. Gates for the pur-
pose OF advising the state defense
council In regard to cases where 1t
will be necessary to furnish the farm
ers with seed for fall planting. The
work of providing needy farmers with
seed has been successfully carried
out, insofar as the e&fly spring n
summer were concerned.
The valley section of Quay county
is rapidly coming into its own as a
livestock country. 1t is particularly
adapted to livestock raising. State
College field workers have urged the
improvement of livestock by intrOduc-
tion of pure bred animals. Tangible
results are now apparent, especially
around Obar and Nara Visa, where
there are a large number Of pure bred
white face cattle hard to beat In the
entire state.
Progressive farmers in Quay are
manifesting a great deal of interest
in up-to-date farming and in nearly
every case are glad and willing to CO.
operate with the State College work

Praises Tyrone
: Tyrone is a wonderful mountain
camp Of copper developed by the
Phelps-Dodge corporation where mil
lions of dollars have been spent In
making the preliminary plans for
what many people predict will be a
city Of 10000 inhabitants in a short
time" said MFR. Wagner. "The build
ings are of the Mission type and were
designed by the same architect who
planned the San Diego exposition. He
came to these premises, viewed them
and then planned the buildings for
utility and for artistic effect. The
main group consists of the Ad-
ministration building, the store, the
public school building and the Parker
hospital. The cottages are 5-room
structures built Of concrete and are
perfect in modern conveniences.
'"The school building cost $4,000
and is perhaps the most modern
structure Of its kind between Kansas
City and Los Angeles. 1t is pleasing
in Its external appearance, which car
ries the lines Of symmetry on both
sides. Within we find that the ma
terial and the equipment is the very
best. The finish is all hardwood of
quarter-sawed oak and white mapel
floors with ventilated cloak rooms, re-
cess drinking fountains in the halls
and rooms, concealed radiators for
heating and ventilating, cuu
cleaners, and gas plant and a diffused
lighting system.
in the corner of this building there
is a chapel where the people of differ
ent denominations have their serv-
ices. There is a community assembly
hall with piano and an organ. There
is a stage and also opera chairs.
There is also a gymnasium in course
of construction. This school and
were provided by the
Phelps-Dodge company at a cost OF
$4,000. There is an atmosphere OF
contentment in the camp due to the
proper surroundings and the excellent
organization which exists in the com
munity."
On Saturday forenoon Mr.. Wagner
attended a county board meeting with
