LUTHER BURBANK
THROUGH Mr.. GRUBB
More Cans Of Tomatoes Sold Than
Any Other One Food, Says Mr..
Grubb, Worlds Potato Expert

1t was lucky day for Luna coun-
ty when President Sproule, of the
Southern Pacific, sent Eugene H.
Grubb to Deming. He gave us ideas
that will benefit this and future gen.
erations.
The great agricultural specialist
was much interested in our growing
tomato industry because Of the unu-
sual flavor Of our "Deming Brand"
and the great demand the world makes
for perfection in food production.
He was told Of the occasional
blight that visited our tomato plants.
and took the pains to visit his cola.
borcr. Luther Burbank. another man
whom the world owes debt Of graf
itude it can never pay. and as re-
suit Of the conference. the Graphic
is in receipt of the following letter.
which we give to our readers in full:
Room 96S, Flood Building.
San Francisco. Cal.
May l6. 1917.
Mr.. Willard Z. Holt,
Past Master in New Mexico's
Best Publicity Agency,
Deming. New Mexico.
Dear NJ. Holt:
In regard 70 tomato blight or fun
gus troubles that q caused ALARM
and loss in your canning industry.
The tomato canning industry Is
stupendous, in that more cans Of to-
matoes are sold and consumed ia
America than any other one food SO
conserved. 1t is important to Sc
cure Determining Station at Dem
ing, New Mexico.
Meanwhile, | sought an interview
with Mr.. Luther Burbank. Santa
Rosa, California, and ! learned the
result of his experimental work along
this line. His conclusion is that
strong grown tomato plants. Wien
,ransplanted into field lots. should
be set II inches deep and that the
extra root growth and the cool. moist
soil at that depth prevented blight
ing. The healthy, strong. robust
growth overcomes the action Of dis
ease and normal or increased fields
resulted.
| send this TO you as it will secure
wider publicity, reaching a greater
number Z interested growers, than
if sent to the officers Of the canning
company. This does not mean aa
intent not to give it to the most in.
terested parties-the Tomato Grow
ing and Canning Company of your
district.
| have Just received thee opies OF
your very public spirited and educa-
tional paper, THE Deming Graphic
! have just received the copies Of
an early train.
Sincerely yours,
EUGENE H. GRUB.

LUNA COUNTY IS TO
GET COUNTY AGENT
Prof. r. W. latta, Of the Agrlcul-
turaI College, has Already Secur-
ed So Names on the Petition
FARMERS ARE ENTHUSIASTIC
Full Explanation of What Constl.
tutes the Varied Duties of a
County Agricultural Agent

Luna county is to get right in line
Of human progress and have u farm
demonstration, which will be support
ed bv the Federal Government. the
state and county. The special ses-
sion of the legislature passed new
County Agent law providing that the
state will put up dollar for dollar
with any county employing a county
agricultural agent, working under di-
rection Of the extension division Of
the Agricultural College.
Luna county is asked to Appropriate
81 200. in which case the state will
also furnish $1,000. The Federal
Government, through the Agricultural
College, will provide $500 The sal
airy of the county agent will be from
$500 to $500 per year, depending
upon the experience of the man en-
ployed. II is quite likely that it will
be necessary to put some man to
work as temporary agent until suit
able man can be secured permanent
ly, because there is need Of some
leader AT this time TO look after the
states campaign for increased pro-
duction.
The people of Luna county have
not got the right understanding about
the work Of the county agent. he is
not supposed to be farm expert but
is n man trained in the science and
practice of agriculture and one who
has many sources of information at
his disposal. He is the connecting
link between the farmers and the
state agricultural college and the L.
s. Department of Agriculture. He
stands ready at all times to furnish
or secure for the formers Of the coun-
ty information on any agricultural
problem which may arise. He aids
the farmers in securing better mar
kets for their products, better seed
and better livestock, ia eradicatin !;
livestock diseases and insect pests,
treating seed against smut, testing
seed, pruning. spraying. and general
farm Improvements. including con-
struction of silos and other farm
buildings. The county agent will
help the farmers TO organize where
they have not already done so. This
year will offer II large opportunity for
effective organization work and the
county agent should provide the ac-
tive leader who will give these or
carnations an aim and purpose and
keep them from becoming inactive.
The new county agent law author
ICES the board of county commission
ers on petition of one hundred farm
ers of the county to appropriate
money for their county agricultural
agent. Prof. Il W. Latta, of the As-
ricultural College, has been in the
county several days with such a pc
tition and almost. without exception,
farmers and farm owners have been
enthusiastically in favor Of coun-
tv agent and have signed the petition.
For the benefit of farmers who have
not seen, copies Of the petition have
been left with the Chamber of Com

WOMAN SITS IN
 WAR COUNCIL
One of Six Representative of England to Consider War
 Prisoners

LONDON, July 15, Correspondence of The Associated Press).-The first woman diplomatist to sit at a table of diplomatic negotiation, according to the Daily Mail, is Mrs. Darley Living stone, who was one of the six British official representatives at the Anglo German Conference at the Hague re- gently, to deal with the questions on prisoners of war.
 Mrs. Livingstone is an American married to a British officer and has been a member and secretary of the Government Committee on the treat ment by the enemy of British pris- oners since it was formed two years ago.
 In the early days of the war Mrs. Livingstone used to do all the inter- viewing of the sick and wounded pris- oners who were returned periodically and although this work is now dene largely by large staff of volunteers, she still makes it a point of person ally interviewing all escaped prisoners of war.

GARBAGE CONDITIONS NEAR
 FISH CANNERY BAD

Attention of the health authorities has been called to the fact that dumping of garbage on the beach to the windward of the San Juan dock is anything but beneficial to sanitary conditions in the cannery. So foul was the odor from garbage washed under the cannery that any smell from fish ofral was lost in the shuffe and the cannery hands were so nauseated that a bulkhead was built to keep it at least 100 feet distant. There the putrid filth has accumulated together with cans and rubbish, which is any thing but edifying to the tourists on vessels making the cannery.
 Some arrangement by which gar bage can be dumped from barge on the outgoing tide or taken to some point far enough from town to cease being a nuisance has been suggested.

.SCADS OF IRON
 CROSSES OUT
Over Two Million Decorations of Sec Ond Class Distributed by
 Kaiser Bill

COPENHAGEN, July 15, (Mail Cor respondence). That 2,200,00 iron crosses of the second class and 49,000 of the first class have been awarded during the war is shown by announce ments published in Berlin which have been received here. Of this number 366O were conferred upon individuals behind the front" but 'ff is certain that the number of persons wearing the decoration who have never been under fire is even larger. The clas- sification "behind the front" probably applies only to non-combatants engag- ed in war service, and not to individ- uals, like von Jagow and other civili- ans, who from time to time have been stationed at the main headquarters.
 A horde of wearers of the iron cross have been simply employed at the headquarters and by the staff; never smelling powder unless perhaps it was during the repulse of long distance airplane raid. AS an example of the lavishness with which the crosses are handed out correspond ent of The Associated Press was pres ent at luncheon party of eight at the main headquarters in 1915, where the seven Germans present all had been decorated and not a single one of them had ever been under fire.
 During the Franco-Prussian war about one in every twenty partici- pants was given an iron cross, and ex- cept in the case of high military com manders and sons of royalty, it was awarded only for exceptional bravery in the field.
 The value of the iron cross now has become so debased, because of the vast quantities granted and the number of swivel-chair heroes who have through their influence received them, that the establishment of a new order for valor is being talked of.

PUT TEUTON PRISONERS
 AT DIGGING PEAT FUEL

PARIS, Aug. 15.-German prison CTS of war are to be utilized in the digging of peat in order to eke out Frances failing fuel supply. They will work under the supervision of Territorials familiar with the peat re- gionS who will be given long leaves from the Amy for that purpose. En- gineers have been sent to the princi- pal peat bogs, such as the "Grande Briere" near Nantes, to organize the work. The peat will be consumed so far as possible by factories located near the beds so as to require the least possible transportation.
