ENORMOUS CROPS RAISED
ON FARM OF MACY & SONS

A visit to the large irrigated farm
owned and managed by w. C. Macy
Sons located ten miles north of
Monte Vista, will convince any per-
son that this agricultural district is
one of the big producing localities of
the west.
w. c. Macy & Sons came to the
San Luis Valley from Indiana seven
years ago, and since that time have
made land purchases aggregating
900 acres. And it is this large. well
improved, splendidly farmed place
that demonstrates the wonderful pos
sibilities of this valley rs an agricul-
tdral and live stock district
Like all other successful farmers.
these men believe in the methods
known as diversified farming; which
system, together with good manage
ment and correct knowledge of crop
rotation, have made the San Luis val
ley famous as one of the great agri-
cultural sections of the Rocky Noun
tain region.
This year the Macy farm has the
following kinds of crops growing:
Alfalfa 30 acres, wheat 1876 acres,
oats 30 acres, barley 70 acres, peas
425 acres, and potatoes $50 acres.
The qualities of all these products
are exceptionally good, and the
yield promises to be enormous.
Such a variety and quantity of
stock feed and food products raised
on one farm, shows that scientific
methods of soil culture are adopted.
and that livestock can be raised and
fattened for market on the feed one
farm produces. Very few farming
districts in the mountain regions
raise crops that will finish livestock
for market, but here the district is
favored with feed in abundance for
cattle, sheep and hogs, and the farm
ers have so intelligently analyzed
these problems and so successfully
met the conditions, that this has be-
come one of the most prosperous
farming and feeding sections in the
west
Last year w. C. Macy G. Sons
raised 10 acres of potatoes that pro-
duced approximately 10000 sacks of
marketable spuds, and most of this
crop was the Brown Beauty and Rus
sett varieties. Cellars on the Macy
farm will hold 5000 sacks of pota-
toes, and this storage makes it pos
sible for them to keep a large part of
their crop for the later markets.
Hogs and lambs are fattened for
the live stock markets on the alfalfa
and peas grown on this farm each
season, and this year these growing
crops will be fed to several thousand
head of stock, commencing in Octo-
Der.
w. c. Macy & Sons have modern
improvements on their place, and
these large substantial buildings
show the thrift success and prosper
ity of the owners. And all these
things that have been accomplished
and attaired by this firm. can be
done by others if these same good
business principles are adopted. So.
if you are now farming in some less
favored agricultural section you
should come and investigate the Won
derful productiveness of this irri-
gated district. The San Luis valley
has room for several hundred more
farmers, and those who come and
purchase land now, will profit by the
advance in land values which are
sure to come.

Motor Club Formed

.iotoi >iup
In addition, the convention enthus-
iastically endorsed the formation of a
motor club embracing Southern Colo
RADIO and down to Gallup, New Mex
leo, the members of the club becom-
ing such automatically by paying the
membership fee into the Spanish
Trail Highway association. The club
was formed after the idea of the Cal
fornia motor clubs who are RESPONSE
BILE for the wonderfully good roads in
that state.
Among the membership commit
teemen authorized to solicit member
ships and collect the annual dues are:
H. e. Lague, Monte Vista
DR.. L. w. Soland, Blanca

The conjunction of the Spanish
Trail highway with the National Old
Trails highway. as an alternative
summer route, virtually places the
San Luis valley upon a coast to coast
road and the immense benefits to the
territory traversed are immeasurable.
The motor club insures the member
ship of the Spanish Trails link,
which is the assurance needed by the
National association that the alterna-
tive route will have the necessary
backing and support. The motor
club will also be the effective inhu-
ence which will see that all county
roads connecting with the Spanish
Trails highway are properly taken
care of.
The Alamosa meeting was marked
with harmony of action except for
one little incident in which it appear
ed that a few Alamosa county repre-
sentatives wished to make the Ala
mosa River route the first and only
order of business. Forty-seven mem
bersbips at $500 were paid into the
Spanish Trail Highway ASSOCIATION
and these will also receive member
sbips in the National Old Trails as
sociation and the Motor club,

TREASURY DEPARTMENT
WASHINGTON
April IT.,

April II,
To all Officials and Employees of the
Treasury in Washington and
throughout the United States.
Confident that it is the earnest
desire of each and all of you to en-
ploy every possible means in your
power to serve your country, wish
to point out that a very simple and
practical way to be of great assist
ance at this time is to cultivate every
piece of land in your possession or
under your control. Millions of men
have been withdrawn from the fields
of production and sent to the fields
of battle; the worlds supply of food
stuffs has diminished in the face of
an increased and increasing demand.
With our own country at war, the
calls up,sn the usual tillers of the
soil which have been great IN the
past, will be enormous in the future,
and it is most desirable that every
possible step be taken to relieve,
even in the slightest degree, the
tremendous pressure upon the
worlds markets at this time. Every
foot of new ground placed under
cultivation relieves, to the extent of
its yield, the demand upon the
usual sources of supply. l am TAX
ing occasion to urge you very earn
estly to cultivate a garden on every
spare spot of land around your
homes. In this way you can render
valuable and effective assistance.
1t will be a service of patriotism.
Respectfully,
W. G. McAdoo.
LET EVERY CITIZEN DO HIS
OR HER PART IN PRODUCING
FOOD STUFFS THIS SUMMER.

1900 tons. She will probably load

CADET OFFICERS
ON P. N. Liners

The Pacific Mail has instituted a
system OF cadet officers, the first time
in quarter Of a century, says the
San Francisco Chronicle OF July J..
Two cadets will be placed on each OF
the China liners and later such Off
GERS may be put on the Panama fleet
Special instructions have been Is
sued to masters Of the company as to
the duties of the cadets, and these
show the elaborate plans worked out
by Mail Company officials to train
their own corps Of deck officers. The
instructions, issued by Captain John
Kinder. nautical adviser OF the com
pany. in part are:
These Young men are TO be treat
ed as cadet officers Their quarters
are on the boat deck and they will
mess in the officers mess room. and
We wish it distinctly understood that
We do not wish them to clean brass
work and do that class OF work.
AT sea one of them is to be on
watch with the second officer and the
other one with the third officer, the
fourth officer, as before, keeping
watch with the chief officer.
In port we wish them to be in
structed in the handling and stOwage
OF cargo and it appears to US that the
test way this matter can be handled
will be by having one Of them in at
tendance with the second or third Of
ficer when on duty at all times.
we wish them to be instructed in
the use Of the various instruments OF
navigation, such as the patent lead,
log barometer, thermometer. compass,
azimutn instruments, sextant, etc.
Also, they must be taught how to keep
a log book and should keep the rough
deck log book under the direction Of
the officer of the watch.
Further, we wish them to keep
navigation notebook and to report to
the master the ships position by dead
reckoning every day and by observa
ton at least once each day when OBJ
servations are possible.
They should also be required to
work position by star, planet, etc, as
we'll as by observations of the sun.
They should be required to take All
muths and amplitudes of the sun and
stars-in short, we wish them in
structed in everything that will tend
to make them first-class reliable Off
GERS for the coRpany when they get
their licenses.
when on night watches they
should be required to make a round
of the ship at lea once each watch,
making a thorough inspection and re.
porting to the officers of the watch.
They should further be instructed
in signaling, as this is getting daily
a more important feature of an Off
GERS business"
