3 SCHOOL DISTRICTS
IN WESTERN S0C0RR0
COUNTY ARE MERGED

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENTS TO MORNING JOURNAL
Quemado, n. NJ, Aug. l5,-Que-
mado, the enterprising little Ocean
to-Ocean highway town is just now in
lively state of enthusiasm over the
improvements in project Three school
districts, upper and lower Quemado
and FL Rito consolidated for the build
ing of a $4,000 school house, the pre-
liminary election for the voting OF
bonds to be held in the near future,
A rally was held here last week
which was attended, among others by
the county board of education, headed
by Prof e. NJ. Chavez, county super
intendent at which talks calculated to
arouse the enthusiasm of the people
We're given.
Professor Chavez who is always on
hand to lead at any progressive move
ment in the way of education, spoke
eloquentiy on the situation in both
English and Spanish, as did the other
members of the county board and
members of the community.
The teaching force will be increased
in number for the coming school term
and it is expected that everything will
be in running order within a short
time.
The consolidation of districts is
rather new thing for Socorro coun-
ty, conditions in most parts of the
county not warranting the innovation.
The three districts here, however, be-
ing consolidated will unite in time the
three little towns lying in close proX-
unity to one another, Many families
of ranchmen whose interests are nee
essarily in this part of the county will
take advantage Of their opportunities
this winter to send their children to
school in the consolidated district
where they will have the advantage of
advanced work not possible in a two
room school.
The building in this community is
making excellent progress and within
a short time new stores and fine new
hotel will be among the completed
improvements which will contribute to
give excellent service to travellers over
the Ocean-to- Ocean highway.

AGRICULTURE IS
ONE Of STATE 8
BIGGEST ASSE rs
Contrary to General Belief
New Mexico is Not Only
Self Supporting But Has a
Surplus to Ship Elsewhere.

There is no more accurate and
painstaking writer in the state than
Paul A. f. Walter, correspondent OF
the albuquerque Journal, author Of an
article recently published in the Bank
ers Journal While Mr. Walter dwers
upon natural beauties of the state, its
archaeological wonders and the eli
mate, he brings out surprising facts
about the products of the soil He
shows that New Mexico is an agricul-
tural state, rather than one where
livestock and mining are the predom-
mating interests.
The following conclusions and state
ments are condensed from the COM
pilation by the Santa Fe man, intend
ed to inform bankers and business
men: Twenty years ago, a very eff
cient photographic engineer en-
ployed by the then territory after al
conscientious and careful survey, an
nounced that New Mexico had barely
100000 acres under cultivation, that
by extraordinary expenditures and
economy in the use of water, this land
may be increased to almost half al
million acres, but that the rest of the
state would always he good only for
grazing or for waste lands At thatl
time the annual crop production did
not reach $10,O00,00O.
Today 100000 acres are under
cultivation, the total crop production
this year will reach $S0,000,000, and
no man can say what the possible de-
velopment of the future may bring,
Now New Mexico crops are of an
nualy of twice the value of all its
coal, copper, gold, silver, lead, zinc
and other mines, and four times the
value of its WOOL lambs, calves and
other livestock products.
In other words, New Mexico is
above all an agricultural state. Here
are some of the figures from the lat
est United States Crop Reporter as to
this years production in staple crops: |
Corn, 5,26S.000 bushels.
Wheat, 100000 bushels.
Oats, 1,S54,000 bushels.
