EDDY COUNTY MAKING
PLANS TO CARE FOR
RETURNING SOLDIERS


Carlsbad. n. NJ, Dec. 25.-The COM
munity labor board of Eddy county
has just completed a survey of the
county, which was ordered by the gov
eminent employment service in the in
terests of returned soldiers. Promin-
ent men were interviewed and letters
received from all the county, which in
dictate that those soldiers who left
from Eddy county will be welcomed
back to their old jobs, but that not
much work will be found for men who
are not acquainted with the country.
Three hundred men or more are in
the service from Eddy county and
when the industries of Eddy have abb
sorbed these men, it is thought that
the tEaneessfor Outsiders will be slim.
Men are returning slowly from the
different camps, but ii appears that
many men fro mthis section Of the
state will be kept permanently in
Europe until peace is declared Several
Carlsbad men are now in Luxembourg
with the army of reserve, and others
are in Germany with The army OF &C.

COUNTY AGENTS
HELP INCREASES
1918 CROP YIELD
San Miguel and Mora Counties
Report a Substantial Jump
in Crop Output This Year
Over Previous Years,

SPECIAL coRRrsPosDsscE 70 MORNING JOURNAL
East Last Vegas, n. NJ, Dec 90
Through the efforts of the county
agents office, 1918 crops in San Mig
uel and Mora counties showed an in
creased yield whose monetary value is
conServatiVely estimated at $56.S $50.
This does not represent the entire in-t
creased yield, however, both counties
showing substantial increase over
the preceding year San Miguel coun-
ty had an acreage of 10000 acres de-
voted to beans alone, while Mora
countys bean fields covered 10000
acres.
The annual report of County Agent
NJ. r. Gozales, a summary of which
has been prepared for publication,
shows the following estimates on in
creased food production in the two
counties, in instances where the coun-
~ agents office was responsible for
the increase:
Fifty per cent increase in yield of
corn 10000 acres, ten bushels per
acre. $15,174.i
Two bushels per acre increase in
yield of wheat through treatment for
smut $500 acres $2S, 900
Two bushels per acre increase in
yield of oats, through treatment for
smut $500 acres, $685..
Estimate increased yield on $3.50
acres of beans known by the county
agent to have been planted at his sug-
gestion 10 per cent on an average of
zoo pounds per acre, $4,000.
During the year the farm bureau,
Bean Growers association and Farm
ers Exchange were organized. The
farm bureau started in February with
membership of siXty-four and now
has 203. The bureau has sold for the
farmers 100000 pounds of beans
worth $4,000 and saved the growers
So00. Four bean growers associa-
tons are affiliated with the parent as
ISOLATION, and are cooperating in the
marketing of beans for the mutual
advantage of the members. The
Farmers Exchange takes care of all
the legal transactions. The corpora
ton has large warehouse and bean
cleaning machine at Levy, and will
complete similar plant at Las Vegas
soon. The exchange and bureau have
conducted business to the extent of
$62, 900 and a saving to the farmers of
$11,330
Great progress has been made in
San Miguel and Mora counties in the
Standardization of crops. Corn wheat,
barley and beans of a type found hest
suited to this section of New Mexico
have been experimental with and the
best varieties selected. Pioneer work
in Standardization of pinto beans was
done in San Miguel county four years
ago and has led to the increased pop
ularity of the bean as crop in the
southwest and as a staple article of
demand upon the market
The county agents office has as
sisted in the organization of boys and
girls clubs to carry on seven projects.
namely: The raising of beans corn,
wheat, garden stuff, cows, calves and
pigs. The clubs have total member
ship of 502, and were responsible for

FIrst-olsoover the caua

FIrst--Dscover the Cause
To discover the cause of any pre-
vailng i'll Is the instinct Of the sur
geon. When science found that the
germs OF Yellow Fever were carried
by mosquitoes the battle against that
disease was half won, When san
Francisco was in the grip of the Bu-
bonie Plague ard to Surgeon General
Rupert Blue fell the task of scotching
that plague. his first step was TO make
war on the rodents that carried the
disease germs. Once these were
hunted down, after unremitting york
and care, the clearing away Of the
disea se was only a question of medi-
cal skill and patience. SO. in leading
the attack of the United States Pub
disease, it was inevitable that Sur
geon General Blue should go directly
to the cause. The problem the nation
is called upon to face he states very
simply.
He says:
I'VE know the cause Of these dis
eases and we know that prostitution
affords their principal mode of distri-
button. We know, too, that so far as
Injury to the nation is concerned, these
diseases are not outranked by any
other of the communicable disease
group. We must. therefore, apply these
facts as we have applied similar facts
In the cases of other communicable
diseases. We are trying now to form
q great body of public opinion that
realizing the importance of Graduating
these diseases will back up our gov
eminent effort in enforcing four things
/. Measures for cleaning up
each individual community and
keeping the vice districts closed.
O. Measures for making direct
attacks on venereal diseases;
Prostitution may be segregated
but not venereal diseases.
3, Measures for the eradication
OF yenereal diseases.
L. Measures to provide whole
some recreation.
''The organized defense of the
American nation against venereal
diseases requires, the complete un-
derstanding that all these measures
imply and their whole-hearted adop-
tion. The work can never succeed
without sacrifice; there must be sac
rifice of sentiment, of time, of money
and of scientific striving. Whatever
the cost, America will come to sec
that it was well worth the price,
