PHONE RATES
BEFORE Commission

HME HN..t
The state corporation commission
has filed subject to approval the new
rates Of the Mountain States Tele-
phone and Telegraph company for the
town Of Texico. Some time ago the
corporation commission presented the
new rates to the commission, with a
detailed statement of improvements
to be made In Texico. After a care
full check, the commission found the
proposed rates to be uniform with
those in vogue in other cities in the
state of Texico's general class. A
charge of 1886 is made for individual
business lines instead of $50 and $24
for individual lines residence phones
instead of SIS. The commission no.

for his recommendation, but so far

company has completed improvements
In TexicO to the value of $4,000.
Rivalry over Siding.
The corporation commission is be-
ing besieged with conflicting claims
for a spur on the Santa Fe railway
between Sabinal and La Joyce. Some
time ago, before the war, in fact, the
commission pressed the request OF res
lidents of the county for a flag sta
ton and spur between those points, y
and Bernardo was so designated by
the railway company. 1t is located
81 miles from Sabinal and 81 from
La Joya. The spur is to be built as
as possible, it having been in
cluded in the railways budget for the
present year. Now come residents Of
the neighborhood surrounding Abbey
tas, a postoffice, located Just 1T miles
from Bernardo, asking that a siding
and flag stop be installed there. They
show that 800 tons Of farm products
are shipped from that vicinity annu-
ally. The commission is investigating
the merit Of the claim, but it is stat
ed unofficially that it is not likely

Labor Scarce in 1918, But Many

peders north, gave every promise of
increased production in 1918, accord
ing to review of Alaska mining in
1918 issued here by j. L. Mcpherson,
secretary of the Alaska bureau Of the
Seattle Chamber of Commerce.
Gold, coal, copper, silver and other
mines of Alaska were hit hard by the
war.
There is no truth in the report,
however, that no mining was done in
Alaska in 1879, Mcpherson said. de-
spite the shortage of labor and trans
portation, the high cost of materials
and supplies, mining development in
Alaska during 1918 showed material
progress in the opening of many new
properties and the enlargement of
plants and equipment"
Copper miners were busy during
the year according to the review, The
Kennecott Copper corporation started
driving tunnel to connect the world
famous Bonanza mine with the Mother
Lode workings. During the year the
corporation employed about 500 men,
and, although paying the highest
wages in the history of lode mining in
Alaska, has operated short handed,
due to the shortage of labor.
In the Prince William sound dis
trict, the report said copper mines
were seriously handicapped by the
lack of Transportation facilities. De-
spite this handicap the CRANKY COM

SWEET CLOvERADDS
VALUE TO The BLUE.
GRASS PASTURES
Sweet Clover Is. Very Valuable to
Bluegrass Fields Government
Experts Say.

Washington, d. C.-Perhaps there Is
no use for, sweet clover that gives
such promise and that seems of such
wide application as its combination
with blue grass for pasture, Accord
ing to Farmers Bulletin 1905, recently
issued by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture. Both crops grow
together well, even when there is a
perfect stand Of each. The sweet
clover adds nitrogen to the soil, and
where the stand Of blue grass is poor
this helps 1t to thicken and produce a
much better stand than would be pos
sible without, sweet clover. Further
more, the clover adds greatly to the
total amount of pasturage produced
and gives longer pasture season. 1t
comes, on in the spring two or three
weeks earlier than most other grasses
and the live stock can be turned out
to pasture Just that much earlier. In
some instances this combination has
more than doubled the carrying ca.
pacity of an acre Of blue grass alone
A first-class pasture of this kind will
easily carry two 1000 pound steers on
an acre in the spring and early sum-
mer, and as usual thing, will carry
more than one such steer during the
remainder of the pasture season.
If not pastured too heavily the
sweet clover will produce seed enough
to reseed the pasture, and often a
crop of from 8 to 8 bushels Of seed an
acre can be harvested, in addition to
the pasturage produced throughout
the season. The experience of a few
men is that when such a combination
pasture is handled in this way it will
maintain itself from year to year, and
1t is unnecessary to sow any great
amount of. seed to keep up the sweet
clover in combination with blue grass.
In establishing a combination sweet
clover and bluegrass pasture the pro-
blem Of getting stand, as compared
with the growth of sweet clover in ro-
tation, is fundamentally different. In
some instances the pasture must be
plowed, lined, and seeded anew On
old bluegrass pastures of long stand
ing, which still have a fairly good
lime supply, stand of sweet clover
often can be secured simply by sowing
the seed late in March or early in
April and allowing live stock to tram
pie the seed into the ground. In other
instances it is more convenient to
start such pasture on part of a ro-
tation area, seeding of sweet clover
and timothy being made in oats after
the necessary application of lime, the
blue grass being allowed to come in of
its own, accord.
To determine the method that will
succeed in getting stand of sweet
clover and the blue grass for pasture,
it will generally require some expert
menting, as local conditions vary
