the National Championship in the
Live Stock Judging Contest held at

thing that not only the young man,

incidently reflects a great deal of
credit on the teachers and directors
of vocational education in the state,

vocational education in New Mexico
has been carried on for only a short
time and that not one in ten OF the

The present shortage of freight
cars in the Pecos valley is proving
a serious handicap to shippers. +.
Talmadge, Jr, the wholesale hay
merchant, announced that he had
more than 1900 tons of baled alfalfa
hay stored and that so far it had
been absolutely impossible to get
any cars to ship this hay. He now
needs 800 cars and has not been able
to even get a promise of them.
This fact is also true of other hay
buyers and as a result the Pecos
valley hay shippers have been un-
able to supply the orders which have
already been sold at points in Tex
as and the southeast.
Efforts are now being made to have
the government send cars to the val
ley for hay, livestock and other pro-
duce which must be shipped.-Ros-
