Save Crops, Good
Advice for New
Mexico Farmers
(From Farm Bureau News.)

1t appears that there never was q
time In the history Of Curry county
when 1t was more to the advantage
of the farmer to save every pound
of grain and fodder. possible than at
the present time. We never have too
much in reserve in a country like this
where drouths occur in spite Of all
the farmer can do. Lucky Is the man
who has a good supply OF feed and
seed to tide him over such seasons.
There is no question but what the
farmer who does provide for such an
event will make q In Curry
county.
Many OF the farmers have been
worried about a market for their
kaffir and maize and for some time
it did appear a little discouraging. but
II now looks like there is going to be
a good market for everything produc-
ed on the farm. and IL 1t can be prop
erly stored and taken care of until
the markets do open up there will
be a profit ON the sorghum crops OF
Curry county this year.
1t seems strange how some people
the days Of trial and hardship.
Enough grain and fodder Is being
wasted on the farms Of Curry county
to feed all the cattle that We're carried
through the winter last year. Every
silo in the country should have been
titled to provide for an emergency.
may be kept for years il prop
erly cared for. And there Is no better
feed to help balance grain ration Of
this country than good eusilage, how
ever, there is still time to take care
OF the grain and fodder in spite Of
the fact that there is a great shortage
OF labor, we believe that much Of this
can still be saved.

Ration Country Club
Grounds Improved;
A Beautiful Resort

Ration, Nov. 24.-Work on the
grounds Of the Ration Country club is
progressing nicely and the wire fence
around the entire grounds which IS
now in course of construction will be
completed in about ten days. The new
fence will enclose the entire golf
course and it is planned to have a
flock Of sheep on the grounds to keep
the grass down, as high grass is the
source Of much trouble to golf players.
As soon as possible the rolling of the
course will begin and the green's will
be laid out. Some Of the work has.
however, been postponed until the
fence is completed as this will prevent
the greens, being trampled by stray
animals.

10000 INDIANS
IN NEW MEXICO.
! should like to say that in New
Mexico 1t turns out that there are
about 10000 Indians, largely of the
Navajo tribe, and the Baptists are do
ing no mission work among them. The
large majority of these Indians know
no more Of the gospel than the heather
of Central Africa. These two fields
are among those the home board had
no time to study in the rapid work
necessary in making the survey for the
70 Million Campaign. They are very
good illustration Of the fact that, not
only twelve millions but many mil
lions more, could be wisely expended
by the home board in the south during
the next five years. Indeed, that pa
triot and seer of the south, Richard
HI Edmonds, declares:
The entire seyenty-five million
fund would not more than meet the
work which the home mission board
alone could wisely do, if the money
were available. The home mission
work Of Southern Baptists Is intimate
dy more important today than it was
a year ago"
Mr.. Edmonds Is right. There are
immense home mission tasks yet on
the frontier IN the southwest and else
where. There are far larger and more
difficult tasks of an intensive rather
than an extensive nature. have
never known a thoughtful Baptist to
make a Journey through the southwest
without becoming a convert to the big
ness Of home missions. I am equally
confident no thoughtful Baptist can
put his mind and heart upon the great
problems of social unrest now holding
America in ferment, without seeing
that It is Of the greatest Importance
for Baptists to 60 forward in home
mission york to a degree far beyond
what we have ever conceived.
