Paris
 T got into Paris again this morn ing at 12:3O. Leave tomorrow to join section No. 1 at the front. That is the crack section, been in since the beginning of the war. The oldest and most experienced, and shall have to work hard to live up to the exper- fence the men have. This section is at Verdun. As soon as I got in, I got my mail, thirteen letters. This is the first mail I have received since leaving New York. But it was good. I shall answer your, letters very hur- riedly now as have lot to do this afternoon. I leave at 10 a. m. to- morrow. Tonight we are going out to see Paris. A man named Dix from Boston is going with me. It Is through . that 1 got this assignment and as he assigned me, he gave me my choice of pals. Dix was my side brick on the |. .. :. so I chose him. I am being sent out ahead of others who are older in point of service Every one congratulates us on getting sec ton No. 1. I was at a camp at May n-Multren-Cro It is no military secret now so the censor will not ob- ject to my telling you.
 Ambulance driving is far better than camion.
 "Yes, sugar is very scarce. How ever, my pal has five pounds or SO. coffee as I like it black but cereal without sugar Isn't very good. We put in lump sugar and it melts up pretty good.
 we had some awful tests to show our ability to drive of which I will write later. I am so happy and ner- vous at receiving my mail that l can hardly write. How good it seems to get letter from home.
 ''The reason 1t took us two weeks from Halifax to Liverpool was be- cause we were sent back toward New York from and then across on the route, we started on the . route.
 Two men are sent out in a car, one drives one day the other is held in reserve. On the following day the driver that was held in reserve takes the wheel. Yes it was tiresome on the .,. so long, especially for one so lively as 1 am. that is you all say I am, but I don't see it. There are hundreds of airships in the air every where. Eight men from Syracuse university came to camp last evening. | It seemed good to talk with some one 1 that knew places and stunts. My pal is here with me and we are going l out to have a good time for the last time before going to the front. There is a military Y. M. c.

MILITARY INSTRUCTION
AT STATE UNIVERSITY.

Albuquerque, N. NJ, Aug. 3d.
President David r. Boyd, of the Uni
versity of New Mexico, announced to-
day employment of trained instruc-
tors for a department of primary
military training for men and women
to be made a part of the regular
work of the university when 1T comes
on October 1st. In the past the uni
versity has conducted a department
of physical training, the work having
been required of all students. A
careful check has been kept on the
physical condition of the student, fol-
lowing an examination at entrance
and excellent results have been OBJ
served. The new military training
department will supplant this physi-
cal training to a large extent. Young
men will be taught the necessities of
camp life and hygiene, drill and use
of arms. Young women will receive
instruction in first aid work, nurs-
ing and other essentials so necessary
to those who volunteer for Red Cross
work. While the work will be thor
ough, it will be essentially primary
in character and thus will not inter
fere in any way with the courses Of
fered by the New Mexico Military

FACULTY CHANGES
IN N. M. UNIVERSITY

Albuquerque, N. M, Sept. 6.-Im-
portant changes in the faculty of the
University of New Mexico will be an
nounced by President Boyd at the for
NAL opening of the institution on Oct.
LIST. The changes were not voluntary
on the part of the university govern
ment, but were due in all causes but
one to the demands of the war. Five
of the younger members of the fac
ulty have enlisted in various branches
of military service. Two of the older
members, taking advantage of leave
of absence, have taken temporary po-
sitions where they can be of import
ant service to the country. One mem
Der, Roscoe R. Hill, has been elected
to head another state institution.
While not ready to announc the new
faculty members President Boyd stat
ed today that all the positions have
been filled satisfactorily. Several of
the new group of professors are men
of exceptional experience and high
standing in the educational field.
Preliminary figures from the Reg
istrar's office today show that the
opening attendance on October l will
be greater than last years total en-
rollment in spite of inroads on the
upper classes made by the war.

MESQUITE BEANS USEFUL
AS GRAIN SUBSTITUTE.

The humble New Mexico mesquite
bean may be utilized as a food for
feeding, hogs, cattle and horses on ac-'
count Of the present high prices for
grain. In many localities in southern
New Mexico it is estimated that there
are thousands of bushels of the grain
ripening and falling to the ground.
Some of the beans are being eaten
by horses, cattle or other stock; but
many of them will be entirely wasted,
especially if there should be much
rain during the latter part of Aug
ust or September. After being ex-
posed to rainy weather for a short
time the beans begin to spoil and
soon lose much of their palatability
and nourishment. Even when con-
sumed by stock, without grinding,
about forty per cent of the nutritive
value is lost through the hard seeds
not being digested. a
Mesquite beans are at present be-
ing gathered and shipped by the car
load in Texas. In the Hawaiian Is
lands last year algaroba meal valued
at about $225,000 was fed to live
stock. The algarobo is very similar to
the mesquite, some botanists, indeed,
considering that they both may be-
long TO the same species.
The feeding value of the New Mex
leo mesquite bean is probably some
what higher than that of the algaroba
in Hawaii, on account of containing
about ten per cent less moisture and
considerably more protein and fat.

Farmers in New Mexico are being
urged 10 plant winter wheat the COM
ing season as a means of aiding the
food supply Of the United States. In
structiOns have been sent out by the
experts Of the New Mexico State Ag.
ricultural college and are as follows:
"Fall sown wheat has many advan-
tages over wheat sown in the spring,
in this state. 1t will ripen fully two
weeks earlier, thus allowing time, IN
the lower attitudes, for a second crop.
Fall sown wheat affords winter pas
ture for live stock, and requires less
seed per acre. The latter is an inn
portant consideration with high
priced seed. Fall sown wheat econ
omizes on labor, for the work Of seed
ing can be done when the rush of
summer is over; and it is harvested
before the summer rush begins.
1.-THE amount of moisture is n Of
the determining factors in the ques-
ton of fall or spring seeding. Fall
sown wheat must have sufficient mois
ture to insure proper root develop
ment before cold weather sets in, or
it will winter kill and the stand will
be greatly reduced; in fact, in some
cases, entire failure may result.
IN the irrigated valleys the ques-
ton Of ditch cleaning and canal re-
pair work has always been more or
less of a bother to the farmer who
wished to sow fall grain, for usually
seeding time found the irrigation
bitches dry; but now that this diff
Guilty is to be eliminated in one or two
of the larger valleys, it is quite like
ly that a considerable acreage will
be sown to fall wheat.
wheat usually does best on a loaIny
soil largely because this type of soil
holds moisture well. When sown aft
er a cultivated crop, such as corn OF
potatoes, it is not necessary to pillow
the land, but a firm, mellow seed he'd
should be made on the surface by
disking and narrowing. Double disk
inc is preferable; that is, tapping half,
y hiCh prevents ridging; then if the
land is cross narrowed 1t will be left
fairly level for the drill. Some soils
will require more work than others
but in any event, a we'll prepared seed
bed is essential. When WHEAT follows
other than a cultivated crop, such as
oats, barley, or wheat, tho land should
be plowed as soon as possible after
the preceding crop is harvested. Ear
ly plowed land should be worked
down once Or twice, to kill the weeds

INCREASE OF MEAT SUPPLY

The National Forests of Arizona
and New Mexico are carrying 10000
more cattle and $4,000 more sheep
than last year, according to statistics
Just compiled by the district forester.
The increase is said to be accounted
for partly by the gradual improve
ment Of the range and partly by the
Issuance OF permits for additional
stock as a war emergency measure.
Three experts are spending the en-
tire summer on the southwestern for
ests figuring out where and how addi-
tiOnal stock can be temporarily ac-
cOmmOdated without placing too great
a strain on the range.
The best way to make Dom for
nor stock according to grazing eX-
perts of the forest service, is to bring
about better distribution of stock al
ready IN the range. With this end
in view stOckmen on the various for
ests of the southwest are planning to
cooperate with the forest service in
the construction of about $50 miles
of drift fence during the present sea-
son. Drift fences from 20 to 20 miles
long are proposed for the Coronado,
Sitgreaves and Tusayan Forests in
Arizona, and the Datii Forest in New
Mexico. These fences are expected
TO prevent waste Of range by prevent
ing concentration of range stock on
limited areas while adjacent areas are
left unutilized.
Figures received by the district for
ester from Washington show that the
' National Forests throughout the west
are carrying 100, 900 more cattle and
I 20O. 900 more sheen than in ordinary
nished for a total of nearly ten mill
lion head of stock.

NsURING SOLDIERS

AMI OAlLOhO.
That a nation owes mucn to its
citizens who have fought its battles
and 10 their families when they have
been killed or injured so as to destroy
or impair their capacity to provide
FOR their families has ALWAYS been
recognized by thu United States.
This just and generous policy of our
country as administered under our
tension system has been unduly cost
y and has not always been Just. One
81 the proposed uses of the proceeds
Of the Liberty Loan is to give life and
Indemnity insurance to our soldier

20 their dependent families while thev
are in the ranks.

The government which subjects

Of the enlisted men In the army and
