RAISING OF BROOM CORN BECOMING
LARGE INDUSTRY IN UNION COUNTY

Union County, New Mexico, pro-
duces three per cent. of all the
broomcOrn in the United States.
Three per cent. Not very large
percentage, you say, but when you
take into consideration that this
covers all the broomcorn grown an
nually in the United States you've
got to admit that it's a good percen-
tage.
1t is estimated that between six
thousand five hundred end seven
thousand acres in Union County
have been planted to broomcorn
this year. From this acreage an
estimated total of seventeen hundred
tons will be harvested, which will
net Union County growers approx
mately $4,000. Quite a profitable
dry farming" crop, ehl
Broomcorn growing is yet in its
infancy in this section of New Mexl-
co. But few years ago not an acre
in this part of the state was planted
to this crop, and is onlyttttttt OF
to this crop, and it is only within
the last four or five years that far
merS have awakened to the posi-
bilities offered them in broomcorn
growing. The crop does excep-
tionally well in this immediate VI
cinity, the yield averaging between
one-quarter and one-hClf tcn to the
acre, The price ranges between
one hundred and three hundred dol
lars per ton, which nets the farmer
quite neat sum- for his labors. In
some instances as high as three hun
dred and ten dollars per ton has
been paid for Union County broom
corn.
Estimates are given to the effect
that tI0 car lots Of broOmcorn have
been shipped from Clayton already
this year. These shipments were
made to San Francisco, Chicago,
Wichita, Charleston, Illinois, St
Louis, Missouri and Neoga, Illinois.
There is always a ready market for
the crop, and the market price re-
mains high at all times.
Clayton is the principal shipping
point in this county and most of the
crop grown in this section is ship
ped from here. Broomcorn also
does well just across the line in
Texas and the annual shipments
from Texline amount to more than
one hundred cars.
The broomcorn industry in Union
County offers many chances for de-
velopment, and offers an exception
ally good opportunity additional In
dustries and commercial enterprises.
Broom factories should be estab-
lished in Clayton and other manufac- r
turing enterprises should be started
to handle the output and the by
products of the crop. This crop
could be handled just as advantag-
eously in Clayton as it can in Illinois
and Missouri, and this fact should
be brought to the attention of east
ern manufacturers.
Right here is an excellent job for
a commercial club. Additional in
dustries and manufacturing enter
prises do not come TO a city unso-
licited. Get after 'em.

AUTO DEALERS MEET HERE

More than thirty of the leadins
automobile dealers from Walsen-
burg, Trinidad, Ration, Dalhart anu
other neighboring towns met in
Clayton Monday of this week.
1t was the regular annual meeting
of the Association, and the Clayton
Garage men made every arrange
ment for the comfort of their bust
ness associates. Their business
session was held in the afternoon on
the PericO about seven miles west
of town. 1t was an ideal spot, there
under the shade of the large trees
where they could joke, talk and
smoke without being interrupted.
| The election of officers was per-
laps the most important business to
come before the meeting, and in
choosing from among their number
a presiding officer for the next yeas
they were all unanimous in their
opinion that J. Allen Wikoff of Clay
ton was the right man in the right
place. We have known Mr.. Wikoff
for the past several years and wish
to assure the Mexico As
Sociation that no better choice could
have been made. Mr.. Sears of Wal
Senburg. was elected president,
and Mr. G.. C.. Hodges of Clayton
Secretary.
After the selection of officers had
been made, the Association then dis
cussed the proposition of closing
their garages at six O'Clock in the
evening and on Sundays. The Clay
ton Garage Dealers adopted this plan
sometime back, and it appears that
all other neighboring towns had fol-
lowed the example set by Clayton,
in the belief that they were doing
the patriotic thing in helping to
conserve gasoline and labor. How
ever. garage dealers in other parts
of the country did not close their
places in a like manner. There
fore the Colorado Mexico Automo,
bile Dealers Association found il
necessary to rescind their former
closing order, until such time as
the Government might direct them
to do otherwise.
The last but not the least number
on the program was the eats.
Did any of you say that the Clay
ton Garage Dealers could not cook?
Well, you have got another thot
coming. 1t was after 7 o'clock in
the evening when the newly elected
president announced that the eats
were ready. We lined up at the long
table filled with fried chicken ami
many other articles of wholesome
food cooked over a camp fire, and
began to feed our faces. There was
plenty for all and then some.
After all had been fed and while
we were yet enjoying our evening
smoke, Mr.. Wikoff called on several
of the Association members for
short talk. They all responded and
in few well-chosen words assured
the newly elected president Of their
hearty support in any of his work
connected with the association.
DR.. II. r. Mills, Of Clayton, was the
asst speaker on the program, and in
an hour and half talk he did Justice
to the cause for which we are fight
ing. In all, The meeting was a
splendid social affair, and the editor
of the News is more than grateful
to the Garage Dealers OF Clayton for
their kind invitation which made it
possible for him to attend.

CLAYTON SENDS EIGHTY-ONE

Oh' wv sHS StSHNa SbNS
-,
Monday of this week there gather
ed at the depot more than five hun
dred of Union County's citizens TO
say good bye TO the boys who we're
leaving for Camp Pike, Little Rock,
Arkansas. Never before have the
people of Clayton and Union County
been made to realize so fully the I'm
portance and responsibility of this
great war. There were mothers,
wives, sweethearts and friends
standing around the cars placed on
the siding to accomodate the new
recruits, waving their handkerchiefs
and saying God bless you, my dear, y
as tears trickled down their cheeks.
1t was sad indeed to see the young
wives, some of them mothers, cling
until the very last moment to their
kind and affectionate husbands.
These young wives are not slackers
but they could not bear to see their
dearest friends on earth slide out OF
sighton their journey to the blood
stained land of Europe withou; Civ
ing vent to their feelings. Yet they
stood the strain and their last words
were God bless you in the hour OF
need. These young men have gone
as others have done, and there is
not one among them who will not
willingly march with his company
into the very jaws of death and not
complain when the order is given.
Already several Union County
boys are on the firing line, and 9TH
ers are being sent with all possible
haste. When the war is over and
the end is here, we trust and fully
believe that some of them will be
with the army that marches trump,
hantly into Berlin.

ANNEXATION Up
MONDAY NIGHT.
Senate Adjourned Yesterday
Without Having Come To a
Real Vote On City Grab.
SITUATION UNCHANGED.
Further Conferences To Be Had
Before Vote Is Taken Mon
day Night Or Tuesday
Afternoon.

Annexation will probably be settled
before Tuesday afternoon. This is
the indication today following FUR
ther speech-making upon the subject
in the Senate yesterday afternoon te-
fore the dignitied wing OF the General
Assembly adjourned until Monday
night.
Some headway was made late yes
terday afternoon toward finally SET
Ting the contest between Baltimore
and Anne Arundel Counties and the
city's effort to grab up their most
productive and pOpulous sections
from a taxation standpoint. Several
additional Senators got their expla-
nations of why they are for or against
the Allen amendment and that much
of discussion was disposed of
There was, however, no material
change in the situation nor will there
be a definite program until further
conference is held. Those Democrats
who are claiming to want to see jus
tice" done Anne Arundel County as
sert that they are disinclined how
ever, to take any course that would
result in the defeat of the Greater
Baltimore Bill. The whole PROPOSE
tion is, in the opinion of many per-
sons, being made a political football
and when the fight is over if annexa-
tion should be passed il will, accord
ing to their idea, be because some
Democrats refused to let the Repub-
licans in the House get away with
a deal to cater to Baltimore City vot-
ers in the next general campaign.
These same friends" of Anne Arun-
del and Baltimore Counties are insist
ant on certain so-called concessions
being made, which they believe would
render the bill more acceptable to
the counties interested. knowing,
however, that the bill would be en-
dangered if returned to the House,
they are willing to have the changes
they favor incorporated in a separate
bill, and to this the friends of the
measure interpose no exception, even
going so far as to promise their aid
in pushing this through. There will
be no changes in the boundary lines

Mr. Glendon writes as follows:
To the Editor:
At a meeting of the Henley stewards
in New York on March End, at which
representatives of all the leading col
Ieges were present, it was unanimous
ly decided to hold an informal patri-
otic regatta on the Severn River at
Annapolis about May 18th This deci-
sion of the Henley stewards was en-
Enthusiastically received by everyone
who has the interests of the sport at
heart
Within the past few days it has been
noticed that various criticisms have
appeared in the press regarding the
adaptability and availability of An
napolis and the Severn river course
for this regatta, stating that the
course was full of crooks and turns,
sandbars. shadows, etc The accom-
panying chart, which is a correct copy
of the Maryland State Survey, shows
that the~ Severn river two-mile
course is contained in a body of wa
ter more than half a mile wide with
a depth of twenty feet over the entire
length and breadth of the course The
finish line of the course is just above
the railroad bridge, which is clearly
seen by the coXswains of the racing
crews from the starting line, and
which is very convenient in giving
range for the coXswains to steer by.
