Many Potatoes Frozen

Many Potatoes Frozen
During the past few weeks of i,t-
tense cold weather many of the far
mers in the east end of the county
who raised potatoes last year, have
suffered considerable losses through
freezing Of them in cellars, caves and
in the ground where they had been
buried. 1t is true that none Of the
farmers expected the severe winter
that has been on now for over a
month and did not make the prepa-
ration they would had they known
it. The loss falls heavily upon them.
Last week the Springer Trading
Co. lost nearly car load of pota-
toes in the cellar at Their warehouse
by freezing and are offering them
cheap to farmers for feeding hogs.

MEMBERS COME BACK TO HOUSE WHICH APPEARS

The program lad before the fourth
state legislature by Governor O. A.
Larrazolo in person before joint
session of the two houses in the
hall of representatives Wednesday
morning is notable for the advanced
stand taken and for the sane bene-
ficial legislation proposed.
More for Education
The governor recommends that the
tax for school purposes should be
Increased from one half mill to a
mill and a half. He advocates high
Ct pay for teachers, declaring the
present salary scale disgrace" and
urges that free text books be sup
piled to pupils.
He believes that English and
Spanish should be taught in all the
schools and that teachers that speak
both languages should be employed
ia the Spanish speaking rural dis
tricts to the end that the children
may learn English more readily and
may become educated in the Spanish
language so that our people may
compete with Europeans in the con-
test for South American trade and
in general under the changed condi-
tions of broader International rela-
tions brought about by the war.
Good Roads Fundamental.
The governor urges the same rate
of taxation for road purposes. and
asks for the passage of law which
will permit New Mexico to continue
to take advantage of Federal aid for
road work on the basis of half state
and county expenditure to half BY
the national government. He rat
flies the recommendation made by
State Engineer James A. French in
