WARNS OF FUTURE MENACE
Prosperity Depends on Patriot.
ism, Says Franklin National Bank

In its digest Of trade conditions, issued
today' the Franklin National Bank, OF
this city, has this to say:
While there can be no doubt in the
minds of men who have given careful
study to the economic condition OF this
country that considerable period of
real prosperity is just ahead of us. it is
none the less true that this period of
prosperity viii not come into full force
and effect in one leap nor will IL be un-
marred by periods Of depression and un-
certainty. The prosperity Of the next
few years depends upon the patriotism
and the earnestness Of each individual
and Of each corporation
The arrangements between labor and
capital call for an attitude OF give and
take and If labor on the cue hand de-
mands everything, labor will be- idle, and
II corporations on the other hand con-
cede nothing, difficulties will be multi.
piled. The indications are clearly that
there is prosperity enough ahead for all
of us. and we should therefore endeavor
e minimtze labor, distribution and fnan-
wise spirit OF cooperation"

decay sufficiently well before the
next seasons crop; in other words,
il would take two years to get the de-
sired effect. However, If eOw-peas
were used and seeded in your maize
at the last cultivation, they would be
ready TO pillow under after frost, and
would, therefore, probably decay dur
ing the winter and become valuable
for the succeeding crop.
All Of our New Mexico soil could
be made to produce heavier crops il
more attention were paid to the fer
iility side, and we must moi fool Om-
selves into believing that our soils are
inexhaHstible and can be relied upon
to produce abundant yields year in
and year out unless something is re-
turned to the soil. BarnyNrd manure,
although very desirable, is usually
rather expensive and hard to get, so
that we must resort TO other means
Of supplying much needed humus, and
We are therefore looking to cover
crops with the hope of solving to some
,xtent the problem"

Must Save the SOapwesd.

II is now fully demonstrated that
the yucca (sOapweedl may be made
absolute insurance against loss OF
cattle on the range because Of drouth,
But il the cattlemen of the southwest
are to have the benefit Of this insur-
ance, the government must take
prompt measures to prevent further
waste of the sOapweed.
Enough of soapweed has been de-
stToysd in New Mexico BY persons
who merely cut off@the tops IN order
to send that part Of the plant to fiber
factories, to provide food for hun
dreds of thousands of cattle. This
soapweed destruction has been car
ried on reckessly, for the past year,
on government land along the Rock
Island road.
An appeal has been made to the de-
partment of the interior to stop the
waste and preserve this plant for the
protection of the cattle during drouth
