DratI and tho Labor PrObIem

The passage Of the bill extending
the draft ages, and the plan of the
war department to have 100000
men IN France by March 1919 means
that 10000 more men will be taken
from New Mexico in addition to the
10000 already taken. This will make
the labor situation very acute. Even
so, we have complained of the incon-
venience Of doing our farm work.
What will it be like next year9
We would advise our farmers to
make definite plans now for the CON-
ing years work. A more extended
rotation Of crops will help to distri-
butte the labor over a larger period Of
time and thus enable the former to
do most of the work himself.
The rotation suggested is winter
wheat sowed in September. The
wheat stubble is plowed under and
planted TO beans. After the beans
are harvested the ground may be
planted the peas or vetch for n cover
crop to be plowed under to enrich
the soil. This crop may then be fol-
lowed by corn or maize,
We believe that this rotation will
have several advantages. First, il
will distribute the labor and the use
Of the pumping plant more equally

The Weekly News Letter of August
7th gives the following information
on selecting ewes for the next years
lamb crop:
Now is the time to select ewes for
breeing, well before the mating sea.
son aud after this years lambs
have been wanted 10 produce the
next years lamb crop. In culling
ewes from the flock two types should
be noted; those that are extremely
fat and those that are very thin.
The fat ones, especially those car
rying an excessive bunch of fat
about the rump, may be barren, their
high condition being due to the fact
that they have not been under the
strain of bearing and nursing a lamb.
On the other hand, it must not be
supposed, according to the United
States department of agriculture,
that all thin ewes should be bred. If
they have dull eyes, harsh fleeces,
pale, dry skins, a general run down
aud mthnfty condition, and poor
teeth, due to old age, they should be
disposed of at once. II there is a
contrary good condition, the thin
ness may be safely attributed to the
fact that the ewes have been heavy
mixers and have raised pairs of
thrifty lambs. Such ewes should be
retained, and if Of approved type
their eve lambs should be- selected
in maintaining flock.
