Condition Of
Crops in New
Mexico Mend
New Mexico Bean Crop
Promises Heavy Yield;
Feed Crop and Winter
Wheat Excellent.

Crop conditions have improved
wonderfully. A tour over the
Santa Fe lines in northwest Tex
AS and New Mexico the last few
days shows a remarkable change
since the last of June. The bean
crop in New Mexico promises a
heavy yield and the acreage is
unusually large. AT several points
the crop is so extensively plant
ed that elevators are being built
to handle the crop.
The feed crops promise well
especially on the plains in east
ern New Mexico and northwest
Texas. In places milo is heading
and short season kaihr is ready
to head Indian corn is already
making in many localities.
Winter wheat will be grown
generally over New Mexico and
the acreage in Texas and on the
plains of New Mexico will be
much greater than ever before.
The county agents are taking
very keen interest in wheat
growing ard are urging the
farmers to prepare the land we'll
and use only pure seed. In many
places tractors are being bought
for use in preparing land for
wheat.
The livestock growers are
hopeful of plenty of grass for
winter pasture. During the early
summer the stockmen were com
PEELED to feed to escape serious
loss. At the present time the
whole country is covered with a
mat of green grass.
The feeders of cattle and lambs
for market are taking heart and
are new figuring on filling their
feed lots to find the best market
for the forage that is now com.
ing on.

towns, telling the boys of the
state Of the demand for techni-
cally trained men, and explaining
the opportunities for engineering
education at this institution. Mr..
Barnes visited Silver City and
Deming during the early part of
last week and was in Santa Fe
the latter part Of the week. In
all sections of the state Mr..
Barnes finds that the young men
are turning toward the engineer
ing field, because of the demand
for engineers, and are much
more inclined to take engineer
ing courses at the N. M. A. c..
than was the case several years
ago, when the impression seemed
to be general that it was neces-
sary to go east to obtain a first
class technical training.
we are conveying to the boys
of New Mexico the idea that the
New Mexico College of Agricul-
ture and Mechanic Arts is a real
college," " said Mr.. Barnes recent
ly, and as result we expect %
have a splendid freshman class
of engineers on September &c.
the opening day, despite the
large numbers of boys who have
gone to war. :"

End IOWA REGIMENT
ENROUTE FOR DEMING

The second regiment of the
Iowa National Guard passed
through Carrizozo T Thurs d a y
morning. The first and second
detachments passed through at
an early hour in the morning,
and the third at about nine
o'clock.
About two thousand men were
in the three detachments, which
compose the regiment. The last
to pass through numbered about
six hundred.
The boys of the last detach-
ment were allowed one hour here
for rest and exercise. They
were formed in line and marched
about the streets for about a
half hour, consuming the bal
ance of the time allotted to their
stop over in taking rest and re-
freshments. The boys in this
section of the regiment were
from Boone, Marshaltown, Shell
don, Lamar, and other towns in
that locality of Iowa.
They were in fine physical con-
dition, and expressed themselves
as being well pleased with the
good treatment they received
during their short stay.

Bad Villaist
Uses Shovel
on Antagonist

On Tuesday of this week two
women named Soliz and Herman
dez engaged in a quarrel which
resulted in the Soliz woman en-
terlng complsint against Mrs.
Hernandez and she was fined in
the Justice of the Peace Court
the same day.
This termination of the wom-
ems tangle fired the blood of
Hernandez who claims TO be a
recent follower of Villa of Old
Mexico.
Hernandez, after paying his
wife's fine went back to work at
the round house where he was
employed and finished the day.
But on returning home carried
with him a heavy shovel.
He met Soliz shortly after
crossing the railroad track and
attacked him with the shovel.
Soliz had nothing to defend him
self and was at the mercy Of the
bandit, who rained heavy blows
on the head of Soliz, knocking
him down and breaking his arm
in several places besides cutting
severe gashes about his head and
face.
The police were notified but
Hernandez had made his escape
and the last heard of him was
that he was making for the near
est mountains.
DR.. Lucas was called and
dressed the wounds of Soliz. He
lost considerable blood in the en-
counter and had it not been for
the timely interference of friends
the bad man would have carried
out his murderous intention.
Hernandez has a bad reputa-
ton and other neighboring towns
will do well to keep on the look
out for him.

Blind Soldiers

Miss Elizabeth Garrett, New
Mexico's sweet singer, who is a
cousin of Mrs. VIM. Reilly of
Carrizozo, will soon leave for the
east where she will continue her
studies in voice culture.
1t is the intention of Miss Car
rett to render aid in every way
possible to the blind soldiers. She
will sing for them at every OPP
portuniiy, and in this manner
endeavor to tighten the burdens
of those who have sacrificed their
sight in their country's cause.
Those who have heard Miss
Garrett sing have been truly for
tunate, for not only is she the
possessor of a sweet voice, but is
a lady of charming personality
and a composer Of note. In
times like these, when our coun-
try is calling for services of both
men and women, when the spirit
of patriotism is displayed on
every hand, Miss Garrett, out Of
the goodness of her heart comes
forward with a noble aud glor-
ious purpose that Of healing the
broken hearted, and giving com
fort to those who sit in darkness.
In this undertaking Miss Gar
rett has enlisted in a cause that
is immortal, and those unfor-
tunates who will be favored by
her sweet singing will rise up
and call her blessed.
