The Call To Service

(R. II. Ballard of Los Angeles)S
There is much talk going on In the
country now by seers and others who
are preaching radical changes In gov
ernment. What is the matter with our
present government? Our constitution
gives US inalienable, inviolable rights
Of personal security, personal liberty
and private property. To change 1t,
as advocated by some, would be to dis
regard these splendid privileges, no
matter how pure theory some forms
Of government, such as Socialism, may
be based upon. History has taught
us that the administration Of these Is
not American In the fact that the prin-
ciples Of our constitution are disregard
ed The Bolshevlks Of Russia and the
|. W. WIS OF America are one and the
same thing-all disregarding rights Of
property, personal security and person
al liberty. To what lengths they have
gone In Russia In the disregard Of per-
sonal security and liberty is well
known. There is nothing American in
this. The American people do not need
"a new form OF government, but rather
they do need to awake 10 the true signs
OF the times-namely, the call to ser
vice In the highest sense OF the word.

Mexican Oil Wells Are Wonders

1t is not generally known that the
worlds greatest oil wells today are 10
Gated in Mexico.
One well that was producing $1,000
barrels of petroleum daily for eight
years has been closed by flooding.
This well in measured capacity turn
ed out 10000 barrels crude oil per day
in a steady stream for eight years.
Another Mexican well at Cerro Azul,
brought in in February, 10, 1916, has
tested capacity of $4,000 barrels
daily.
ON account OF limited pipe line 1t
has been throttled down TO a flow Of
fifteen thousand barrels per day.
While the English capitalists have
oil interests in Mexico, American In
vesments are still larger.
The joint interests of our country
and Great Britaih in oil supplies from
Mexico make friendly relations lmpor-
tant.
OH may be the means Of allaying all
troubles on the waters Of international
strife between the two republics

Every farmer In the county ought tC
sow at least few acres of winter
wheat or rye for pasture. The latter
part Of August or early part OF Sep
Htember Is the best time to SOW either
of these crops IL the best results are
TO be obtained for pasture.
OF the two crops rye is slightly su.
perlor TO wheat for pasture but II a
grain crop Is desired after the cattle
are taken off Of the pasture II will
be found that wheat will sell to much
better advantage. The farmer who
has only a few milk cows, may get all
the pasture he needs from the wheat
but II grain crop is net desired we
would recommend the planting of rye.
The farmers who grew these crops
last year are very enthusiastic over the
results and each Is going to sow a
larger acreage this fall.
II you have no ground available for
this purpose for an early planting of
these crops, they may be drilled with
a one-horse seeder In between the corn
or sorghum rows Just after the last
irrigation and cultivation. The har-
yesting OF the corn crop will in no wise
interfere with the wheat or rye.

Kemper has submitted plans for con

this is the plan Of the Bureau Of AMI

Both the Bureau Of Animal Industry

Mining Sees Daylight

The men with vision enough to see
the doughnut instead of the hole, knew
that the metal mining industry OF the
L. s. which faced such critical condi-
tions after the war, was bound to come
back strong, for the simple reason that
the world needs our metal supplies.
Silver helped save the day and now
copper is again taking its place. Pro

the future begins TO look much brighter.

He Was Harmless

Deming people don't have much
Sunday amusement, so ON a recent
Sabbath listened to a Bolshevist ad-
dres from a fellow who had tang
led up with the federal courts" but had
not lost his deire to crate, while In the
Deming jail. The local papers report
that the audience did not take the
orator seriously, soon worried OF his
mild utterances. Hearers hoped for
hot stuff and might have enjoyed do
Ing things to the speaker. During the
war mum" was the word given to
such chaps. But now they are allowed
to get things "off their systems" out
In the west where there are no inflam-
mable foreigners ready to be touched
off.-Albuquerque Herald

s. w. Ruebush and Joe Ramondini d,
Well ON Early Potatoes

Not many Of the potatoes in the
demonstration conducted In the county
have as yet been harvested. However,
two men, =. w. Ruebush and Joe Ra-
mondini, who have harvested and mar
keted their earlier varieties have done
remarkably well. Not all OF the data
ON these plots have been tabulated but
enough is known to say that these men
realized about Sl25 per acre from this
crop. And the ground ON which the
potatoes grew is now growing a second
crop. Mr.. Ruebush planted his plots TO
turnips and Mr.. Ramondini planted
beans. The beans look very thrifty and
promise to make as good yield as any
field OF beans In the county.
Both Of these men are very enthn-
siastic over the early potato crop
which can be harvested In the early
part Of July. The price ON potatoes at
this time is very good and 1t brings In
a nice bunch OF money at time when
the farmer can use II well TO finance
the remainder Of his farming opera
tions during the season. Also the crop
Is removed In time for the planting OF a
second crop which makes the returns
from this ground just twice. the
amount that the average farmer re-
ceives.

lem which the industry faces. Tho
threatened general strike scheduled for
July failed to materialize and the Ana
conda Copper Co. at Butte knocked tn,
ground out from under the /. W. w

meeting the employees direct. Difficult
ties were threahed out and increases
In wages granted. This had decided
ly "Americanizing' effect on the thou
sands of workers who were being goad'
ed into violence by the sidewalk orator
and l. W. W. agitator.
The general public is In no mood to
support strikes and workmen In mining
and other industries will do well TO fol-
low the advice of their more conserva-
tive leaders as they did at Butte.

Crops Throughout the County Looking
Better Than Ever

The milo and bean crops which are
the two main crops Of the county are

j. B. Anderson Grew His 1918 Crop Of
Beans for Al Cents per Pound

No doubt many OF our readers who
have been interested In the cost Of pro.
ducing 1913 crops have often wonder
ed what ]. B. Anderson produced his
1918 crop OF bean for. Mr.. Anderson
is conceded by everybody to be about
the most successful farmer In the
county and the figures below taken
from the Cost Production Blank re-
veals that Mr.. Anderson has the ability
OF keeping the cost Of his farming
operations TO a minimum.
A summary of his cost figures fol-
lows:

SUMMARY
Total acreage 121.
Total pounds produced 1912.
Total cost Of production Of 121 acres
81, ,T9s.3s. ''
Average cost per pound 60 cents.
These cost surveys were started at a
time when the price Of beans dropped
to cents per pound and II was
doubtful In the mind Of the county
agent II beans OF the county could be
produced on an average for that
price. Hence, the investigation was
started. The results from the five
farmers mentioned above will, Of
course, not represent the results OF all
OF those bean growers Of the county.
Yet the agent has endeeyored to select
some who produced the lowest and
highest yields as well as medium yields
in order to reflect as near the aver
age yield as possible. We, therefore,
believe that the average cost Of the five
surveys obtained is not FAR from the
average cost for the county. The con-
'clusiens and that II the bean growers
desire to make any money on their
bean crop they must have at least Z
cents per pound.
