1917 Crop Report
at Carlsbad Shows
Heavy Increase
lRy A. N. Howell

Carlsbad, IN. M, Feb. 4.The 1917
crop report for the Carlsbad U. >,
reclamation project has just been
completed by the officials in charge.
II shows a marked increase in the
returns over last year. This is due
partly to the higher prices for the
products and partly to better farm
ing methods which always increase
production.
Out Of the $4,000 acres under the
project 1882 acres we're farmei,
there being in all 535 farms. The
alfalfa acreage was 1856 acres, which
made a total return of $214,444 in
hay and $56,378i in seed. The aver
age price for hay was $2t.96 and
for seed IA cents a pound. The aver
age yield of seed was 1856 pounds to
the acre. The total return for lint
was $1S5,072 and for cotton seed
$37,43S. The average return per
acre for lint was $46.10 and for seed
$10.19. The highest yield was $50
pounds of lint to the acre and 900
pounds of seed. The best cotton
growers passed the 800 mark per
acre for their cotton crop.
The feed crops also proved profit
able. The average return per acre
for sorghum grains like kafir and
milo was $3S.76 and for sorghum
$36.14. This average includes
everything even late planted catch
crops. Many farmers more than
doubled the returns as compared
with the average of the report.
There were a great variety Of
crops including winter grains. They
all made profitable returns. The
highest return per acre was made
with sweet potatoes, which averaged
$191 an acre. There was little fruit
the last season, the fruit growers
turning their attention to food crops
rather than to their orchards.
1t should be noted that there is
for an increase in crop area
in the Carlsbad project. But to OBJ
tain an increase will require more
people. This is true of the Pecos
valley generally. The crop area in
1918 in the valley may be increased
very materially with an increase in
population.

tary Baker said, during the period Of
the war, to authorize the president to
suspend any restrictive statute that
might be found to impede efficiency.
I'm not sure that it is wise not to have
these checks and counter balances.
We are spending very large sums of
money and II seems to be Wise to
check expenditures very carefully
WADsWoRTH ALLEGES DELAYS.
Senator Wadsworth cited delays in
paying troops and Secretary Baker
said that was a disappearing. dimin-
ishing difficulty" Questioned as to
delay in payments to the families of
soldiers, Mr.. Baker said indefinite adj
dresses of dependents, left by the sol
dier, frequently produced that result.
Difficulties of accounting for liberty
bond payments, insurance and Deepen
dent allowances also served to hold
up pay of whole regiments as long as
d month at a time.
Upon Senator Weeks suggestion the
committee dropped the shipping ques-
ton until the secretary could get i'm
formation from his department to
properly answer the questions. This
will be furnished the committee in ex-
cutive session. Senator Kirby want
ed to adjourn until tomorrow, when
a legislative session would be held
but other senators objected.
Senator Weeks asked Secretary PAX
err II he knew how many pairs of shoes
were required per mar in the British
and French armies. Mr.. Baker did
not. But he said he would obtain the
information. The senator said he
wanted to know in order to determine
If we are buying more shoes than
necessary. Senator Weeks said he had
received a letter charging that many
men in the army are of German sym
pathy and that many officers and men
in conversations expressed pro-German
sentiment"
The writer of the letter, he said,
cited an instance of an American Of
ficer being sent from France by Gen.
eral Pershing for that reason. The
senator said he also had heard Of a
chaplain who had been dismissed for
similar reasons.
Secretary Baker said he had receiv-
ed no information of such conditions
but would make an inquiry.
Il don't doubt that something OF
that sort exists said the Massachu-
sets senator. And think we ought
to make an example Of some one"

expected to have some bearing on
action in regard to Mr., Nordhaus'
resignation, which the council SO far
has refused to accept.
The Graphic says:
'Mr. Nordhaus' resignation was
seized upon by the anti-prohibitioh-
lists at El Paso and ~ridiculously mag
nified into a near-revolutlon in their
free daily, the American, as cam
paign thunder, making 1t appear that
Deming was on the brink of a ca

dry. AS a matter of fact, business
men here agree that the city was
never so we'll governed, so prosper
Gus and SO good a place to live in as

however, was altogether beside the
question, which was entirely one Of
lack of cooperation between the diff

Forest and prairie fires have de
stroyed much game, but are now be

Diseases have been introduced
through livestock, but are now be,
ing studied and regulated.
Homes are occupying much land,
but with the erection of bird houses
and the extension Of bird feeding,
private home grounds are coming to
be a refuge for s%ongbirds, the like OF
which the Wilderness never produced.
Three striking instances are point
ed out where settlement has aided
wild life. The first is the spread OF
prairie chickens into eastern New
Mexico simultaneously with the de-
velopment Of dry-farming. The sec
ond is the fact that there are ten
times as many deer per square mile
in New England than in the New
Mexico wilderness" The third is
the more thrifty condition of ante
lope in the fenced pastures Of New
Mexico than on the open range.
"The idea that civilization excludes
wild life is a fallacy," the article con.
cludes. Progress is no longer N
excuse for the destruction of u ma
tive animals and birds, but on the
contrary implies not only an obliga-
ton, but an opportunity for their
perpetuation. American wild life is
confronted by only one unmitlgated
