|FOOD PRODUCTION MUST
be lNCREASED-PARKER.
GENERAL MANAGER OF WEST
ERIN GRAND DIVISION OF SANTA
FE SAYS BANKERS, MERCHANTS
AND FARMERS SHOULD co-oPE-
RATE.

Amarillo, Texas, Feb. 2h.-"To win
this war, we must have soldiers, mu-
uitions, food. and efficient Transports
tion on land and sea- says r.. J.. Par
ker, General Manager of the Western
Lines OF the Santa Fe System. Each
one OF these are so indispensable TO
success on the field Of battle that ey-
en- only a partial failure In n may
bring disaster to our arms.
This is especially true Of food.
This nation is not only called upon to
feed itself and the soldiers, but must
help feed the allies and many neutral
countries as well. In fact a large
lpart Of the world today looks b-to
America for bread and meat, placing
upon this nation a most significant re.
sponsibility. AS a whole this nation
is to-day conserving food, but we
must go further by materially in,
creasing food production in 1918.
This merits most earnest considera.
tion at this time Is we enter the 1913
crop season. !.
at is imperative that we plan care,
fully for safe and w~ell-balanced hus,
bandry to produce standard crops to
the limit and take steps to increase
1.-THE meat supply. New Mexico is a
new country with Dor for expansion
of the cultivated area. The state did
well last fall by sowing 100000 acres
of winter wheat rs against 1870, 900
acres in 1916. The spring wheat area
also promises well, seeding being al
ready we'll under way in the south
ern part of the state. But New Mex
leo is also we'll adapted to producing
kafir, milo, and other grain sorghums
and forage and has the opportunity to
increase the production of these both
under irrigation and on the plains and
mesas.
with q liberal increase in forage
crops New Mexico has also the OPP
portunity of increasing meat produc-
ton Steers and lambs, grown on
grass, may be fattened in the farm
feed lots for market. 1t will mean
more hogs and more dairy and poul-
try products.
ut takes money to finance increased
farm and live stock operations. II
may be that money may not be easy
from now on. But the bankers and
business men, who are naturally con-
versant with conditions and needs of
their communities, will no doubt give
this factor in food production their
careful attention.
'In fact no development MI. Par
iker continued, nor notable increase
in the production of food is possible
without the cooperation of the far
mers, stockmen, bankers, business
men and railroads. The Santa Fe
will do its best to move the products
of New Mexico. The Santa Fe Is in
no sense Sinking its duties as has
been charged. On the other hand we
are doing our utmost to maintain and
improve the efficiency of the Santa
Fe that the war traffic and the bust
ness Of its patrons may move prompt
ly.
I'm fact the situation today Is SO
serious that it calls for the best eff
forts Of every citizen to do his part to
back up the men in the trenches.
And every extra pound of bread and
meat that New Mexico can produce In
1918 will be a factor in winning the
war"

Holds Selected Public
Lands May Be
Leased.

The decision Of the state supreme
court handed down today in Case
No. 1897, Harry Makeson, appellee,
vs.. Roscoe Dillon, ct al, appellants,
from Roosevelt county, sustaining
the lower court, is regarded as o
sweeping victory for the people OF
New Mexico, who would have been
deprived Of 100000 annually, II the
lower court had been reversed, &C
cording to an official Of the state
land office who discussed the opia'
ion.
This decision holds that the land
commissioner is entitled to lease
lands which have been selected and
| which remain un%approved by the
secretary of the Interior" said this
official. ut puts at rest the ques
tons of this character which have
arisen all over the state Of New
Mexico and Is of great interest t.
the public, as a contrary decision
would have deprived the state Of
100000 annually in revenues from
land rentals"
The history of the case and the
syllabus of the opinion, were given
out Officially as follows:
Harry Makeson, appellee, vs.. A,
Roscoe Dillon, ct al, appellants, No.
1897, Roosevelt county.
This is a suit brought by appellee
to restrain the appellants from cut
ting and breaking appc,lee's fences
and driving, herding and grazing
their cattle and livestock upon GER
tain lands so enclosed. It appears
that the state had filed application
In the United States land office ut
Fort Sumner, N. M, for the selec'
ton as indemnity or lieu lands of all
Of the premises in question except q
small portion thereof which was held
in private ownership by the appellee,
and except another small portion
thereof which he held Is lessee Of
some third persons, which said appli.
cation of the state had been duly al
lowed by the register and receiver OF
said land office. 1t further appears
that the appellee entered into con-
tracts with the state Of New Mexico
whereby he leased the said lands
from the state for the period ending
September SG 1920. for the purpose
Of p~asturing and grazing said lands
and for all purposes incident there
to. He went into possession OF said
lands and fenced the same and
grazed cattle and horses thereon. It
further appears that thereafter the
appellants committed a series Of in.
territorial tresfasses upon said lands,
by driving, hiding and grazing their
cattle and aiMstock thereon.

Relief from Eczema

Don't worry about eczema or other
skin troubles. You can have a clear,
healthy skin by using a little zemo,
obtained at any drug store for 35c, or
extra large bottle at S100.
Zemo generally removes pimpleSs
blackheads, blotches, eczema and ring
worm and makes the skin clear and
healthy. Zemo is a clean, penetrating
antiseptic liquid, neither sticky nor
greasy and stains nothing. 1t is easily
applied and costs a mere Uifle for each
application. It is always dependable.
