The Big FOur--Meat, Corn, Beans and
Potatoes

Santa Fe, May 1s.-Beans, corn, sor-
ghums and Irish potatoes. the big four
recommended by the State Agricul-
tural College as the most dependable
main crops for New Mexico farmers in
their efforts to meet the food crisis,
are taking long lead In the planting
being done by leasers of state grazing
lands under the recent permit to use
such lands for farming without addi-
tional rental during the period of the
war. The disposition of the farmers to
follow the advice of the states agri-
cultural authorities in the crisis is re-
garded as very encouraging to the crop
outlook this year, since the bulk of
these main crops will aid materially in
economical harvesting and handling,
and since they are by long odds the
most useful crops New Mexico can pro-
duce.
The response to the permit to farm
state grazing lands has been surpris-
ing to the land office authorities. Up
to Saturday night approximately 500
leasers in 25 of the states 2S counties
had listed a total of 1870 acres of
leased grazing lands held by them, as
actually in cultivation or being plowed.
The replies continue to come in every
mail and the total acreage on state
lands is expected to go to $4,000 acres
this year. 1t may go materially high
err IL rains come in certain sections
now too dry for blowing
OF the total acreage planted $3.50
acres is in New Mexico pinto beans,
2.527 acres in corn and 1.322 acres in
Irish potatoes.
The vast majority of this state graz
ing land acreage is in plats OF from
one to 40 acres. favorable land being
picked by the lease holder as it can
be found in his holdings. The largest
single tract is 1000 acres being plant
ed to pinto beans by n patriotic Quad
alupe county farmer with business
head. At the lowest average produc-
tlon. 400 pounds to the acre. the state
land bean acreage now in will produce

With live stock of practically all kinds selling at high prices many may be tempted to practice over-marketing. In normal times we are more likely to keep the best animals for breeding purposes. When prices are high. we are apt to sell off every available animal. and the best are quite likely to go with the ay
 craze. While for immediate gain this is the best policy, when one is working for long, time results no breeder can afford to weaken his herd or fail to improve 1t by selling the best bred and first-rank animals unless these are nonbreeders. If the best animals are continually being sold, something of poorer quality must be incorporated into the he'd in order to keep up the number. Where this Is the case the herd pound to degenelsi se in producing power and the average value of the animals put upon the mar ket will decline in the same proportion.
 One is much better off to keep a small CT but more select herd of animals as the cost of feed and labor will be rela- lively smaller, while the market returns will be relatively greater. It pays to keep the best animals for breeding pur- poses irrespective of the price being paid on the market. temporary advantage offers no excuse for the sacrificing uf
