BIG CROPS OF ALL KINDS

Under the supervision Of state COL
lege agents Otero county farmers
are organizing for the purpose Of
increasing their production 10 the
maximum, according to Otto L
Tinklepaugh, Of Alamogordo. The

many cases the agriculturalists are
substituting other crops in the place
Of those they had intended planting.
A month ago it was estimated that
there was an oversupply Of potatoes
in the mountain district. of nearly
10000 pounds: nevertheless, all out
going shipments were stopped. and.
owing to the additional acreage
planted there is now a shortage IN
