Z New Bean Crop in Demand.

Santa Fe, n. NJ, July ii.-Market-
ing of the largest bean crop New
Mexico has ever produced should
be a comparatively easy matter ac-
cording to information coming from
dealers and brokers Ill the easterA
states. The fact that New Mexic
was fourth in bean production IN
the United States last season at
tracted the attention of bean deal
ers all over the country who have
been asking for samples Of the New
Mexico Pinto bean. Writing TO tho
State Publicity Bureau here recent
ly Peabody and Company, merchan-
side brokers of Boston, make the
following statement;
During the last two or three
years, there have been extensive
importations of Manchurlan beans
and each year there have been
quite large carry-overs OF these
beans on account of the poor quail
ty of some of them. We believe
that a great deal Of this imDo..a- :
tion can be cut cut just as soon as
buyers all over the country under
stand the quality of Pinto beans,
and as soon as buyers become
aware of the superiority Of Pinte
beans, we believe large quantities

State Lands in Crops.

Santa Fe, N. NJ, July 5.-State
Land Commissioner Robert P. Err
vien has made public what are re-
garded as final figures for this sea-
son on the acreage of the states
leased grazing lands planted TO
crops by the leaseholders under the
permit of the state land office to
plant crops on such lands during
the period of the war without addi-
ional rental. A total of 22,4li acres
are shown as in crops on grazing
leases, the figures including returns
up to July Ist. IL is not expected
that material additions to the acre
age will be made this season al
though assurances received from
several hundred holders of grazing
leases indicate that large acreage
will be broken during the autumn,
either for planting to winter wheat,
or in preparation for cropping in
the season of 1918.
The land commissioners permit
to farm grazing leases did not issue
until April, when the movement
for Increasing food production in
New Mexico began. While the land
office was ready with the permit
early in the movement it was still
too late for many leaseholders to
change their plans for the season,
Or TO secure equipment and labor
for breaking new land. Because
the short notice the result obtained
is regarded as satisfactory fol-
| first season, and information reach
ing the land office from all over
the state is that probably double
the leased acreage now in crops
will be broken this fall for plant
ling in 1918.

WILL HELP TO BUILD sILOs

The Colorado g. Southern Railway
Company, through its agricultural
department, is contemplating build,
ing pit silos for those farmers OF
Union county who are not in a posi-
tion to do the construction work
themselves. Construction will be
in charge of expert pit silo build
.ers, who will see to it that the work
is done as it should be done. The
charge for the work will in no case
exceed seventy-five cents per ton,
and will be on a cost basis at so
much per ton capacity. This
charge, with the cost of material,
will bring the total cost Of the silo
mp to about $i00 per ton. This
price will vary with the nature of
the soil which must be excaVated.
In general, it will not be practica-
BILE to sink a pit through rock. In
such cases it is generally advisable
TO build above ground, in which
case the cost should not exceed
$3.50 per ton capacity.
Those who are interested in hav-
ing silos built should get in touch
at once with either County Agricul-
iuFal Agent Beatty, or G. q. Wight,
the railway representative, who
4nay bereached at the Ekland Ho-
tel. M
The putting Of this plan into ef-
feet will depend entirely upon
whether or not sufficient silos car
be arranged for 10 make il Worth
while to carry on the campaign. Il
you are going TO have silo thit
year, you should get busy righ
now. II is realized that at this time
of year many of the farmers are
too busy with their crops to under
take the work themselves, and i
is felt that many of these SAINT
farmers can hardly afford to pu
off sinking a silo. The saving af
fected this winter alone will man!
times pay for the expense incurred
in the building.
The railroad company will b.
more than glad to help, free o
charge, in any way pOssibles thOs
who contemplate doing the worl
themselves; either by sending liter
ature giving directions for cOnstruc
ton, or by personal conferences.
Within a few days it is expecte
that a soil augar for making tes
holes of at least twenty feet i
depth will be available for use b
those who desire it. 1t will pay yo
TO sink such a hole before begin
ming your silo.

DIR. MURRAY PLEADS
 FOR UNITED NATION

iPittsburg, Feb. 10.-"When America speaks or when America acts. the whole world should know that 1t speaks and acts as a nation and not as series of conflicting and an tagonistic groups or sections,' said Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler. presi- dent of Columbia university, in an ad- dress at the annual dinner of the Pittschug chamber of commere here tonight. He was considering the question "Is America Drifting?": and his answer was in the affirmative. 1t was drifting in respect to it's foreign policy, and this was due in part both to the form of government and the temperament of the American pco- pie.
 Democracies find it difficult to cn- gage effectively in international inter course, he said, and the American de- mocracy even more so than that of the French republic, or any other re- public, because the division of power and responsibility between execu- lives and legislature, between the na- tion and the constituent states, makes it difficult to formulate and execute consistent policy.
 "We American," he said, Hive in far too much of a glass house to make it wise to throw stones at other na. tions who refer to a treaty as scrap of paper"

 War With Germany.

Nearly one hundred German and Austrian merchant vessels, with to- tal tonnage of 628,S and a net ton- mage Of 371 OPS lie in United States ports, most Of them subject to seizure in the event of war with Germany. Such a showing of prizes that would fall into the lap of an enemy never has been made before in any war of history.
 These ships range from the little Weigand of 499 tons at Cuba to the great Vaterland of 54,282 gross tons lying in the harbor of New York. Of
 total number of vessels only eleven are of Austrian ownership and the largest tonnage of any one Austrian vessel is 8,312.
 Some of the largest of the German vessels now lying in American ports, with their ownership and tonnage, are as follows:
 Vaterland, Hamburg American line, 54,2S2 gross tons, at New York; Geo. rge Washington, North German Lloyd line, 25,57o gross tons, at New York; Amerika, Hamburg American line, 22,- 622 gross tons, at Boston.
