ENGINES PULL

HUGE SNOW IN NORTH REPORT
Ed BY SAN JUAN COUNTY EDu-
GATOR HERE AFTER LONG
TRIP


A tremendous snow on the noun
tains in southern Colorado and
northern Rio Arriba county is report
ed by County School Superintendent
Douglas of San Juan county, today.
Five engines were needed on the d.
& R. G. over Combres Pass to pull
the train through drifts which reach.
ed up to the car windows.
Some idea, also, of the distance OF
Aztec, San Juan county, from Santa
Fe, may be CLEANED from Prof. Doug
las statement that he left San Juan
county at 2 p. m. Saturday and ar
rived here 6 p. m. yesterday, being
on the road So hours. The trains
ran on schedule time, too.
although we may seem far away,
u county is developing rapidly
said Prof. Douglas. 'sWe have
enough water to develop a million
and half of acres. These are gov
eminent figures. We have enormous
coal deposits. Our fruit crops are
abundant. All we need is a more di-
rect transportation system; the coun-
ty will develop rapidly If that rail-
road is ever built into Santa Fe or
into Gallup, connecting us up with
the main line Of the Santa Fe rail
way"
Prof. Douglas, who came from Kan
sas four years ago to be principal
OF the high school at Aztec, says his
people educationally are making
rapid strides. They are enthusiastic
over better schools and realize the
Importance of having competent
teachers.

So far as this local board has IN
formation, there is no rule or law by
which these persons can be COMPEL
ed to do their part and bear their
proportionate burden of the tre-
mendous expense the American gov
eminent and people are now called
upon to bear. .
In view of the foregoing, 1t Is
earnestly recommended to your hon.
orable body, that each local board in
the state Of New Mexico be directed
by your board to furnish you with
information such as we have sug-
gested, in order that the people OF
this commonwealth may know exact
ly who the shirkers are and the
whole number We have in the state.
We further urge upon your hon
orable body, the matter Of taking
this problem up with the defense
boards of each and every state in
the United States, and urging upon
those boards the Importance of bring
ing to light those derelict in this d.
rection throughout the entire union.
By such means, should 1t become
necessary. those who have done moth
ing may be compelled by an act OF
congress, to do that which 20 Ameri-
can citizens, tried and true, should
have been done voluntarily.
Sincerely trusting that the matter
set forth herein may meet with your
hearty approval and earnest support,
we respectfully append our sigma
lures.

PER CENTAGE OF DETERMINATIONS
is SMALL.

Up to the present time l have
completed tests on about 300 samples
of seed corn. Less than ten per cent.
of these samples were good enough
for seed. In other words less than
one farmer in ten has good seed.
Ordinarily corn which tests below
90 per cent should not be used for
seed. but due to the extreme scarci-
ty of seed it is being recommended
that where nothing better can be
secured that corn testing above 10
per cent. be used. Under no cir
cumstances should seed testing less
than this be used. On several occa-
slons upon reporting to farmers that
their corn tested around so per cent
they told me they would get around
this by planting twice as much rs US
ual. Now, this is one of the very
things we are testing corn to keep
from doing. The fact that corn tests
ONLY 80 per cent is strong evidence
that the portion which will germi-
nate is of so low vitality that it will
only produce poor, weakly stalks.
Then, too, you cannot possibly get Il
good stand this way as some hills
would get all good grains and others
all poor ones.
Neither can this problem be Solv-
ed best by foreign seed. as it would
take some time to acclimate it and
we would be taking risk on losing
another crop. Foreign seed should
be introduced by planting small
acreage first, and then selecting seed
from this for the next ycarIn this
way the loss will be much less if it
fails the first year
Those having seed testing SO to
IS per cent. should either" secure
seed elsewhere OF make an ear test
of all corn planted.
The further l investigate this seed
condition the more completely | am
convinced that ear testing of all the
corn planted is the safest and the
most practical solution. For the bone:
fit of those not knowing how to make
the cart test | will give an outline
of it in the next issue of this paper
