PERFECT IMAGE OF HIMSELF
japanese Wood Worker Credited With
Production Of Really Marvellous
Work Of Art.

The most marvellous wood workman
In the world is Hananuma Masaklchi,
Of Toxic. Japan, who has carved q fig
ure In wood so like himself that when
the two are placed side by side it is
said to be almost impossible to tell
which lives and breathes and which
does not. BY several connolsseurs In
art this wooden fgure has been pro-
ndunced the most perfect and human
image Of man ever made. Masakichi
has faithfully reproduced every scar.
vein and wrinkle to be seen on his
body. The figure Is composed Of
1000 pieces Of wood dovetailed and
jointed with such skill that no seams
can be detected.
Tiny holes were drilled for the re-
ception Of hairs. and the wooden fig-
urs has glass eyes and eyelashes In
which no dissimilarity to Masakiehi's
own can be detected.
The japanese artist posed between
two mirrors while modelling this fig-
ure and for some time after its com
pletion he posed frequently beside II.
to the confusion Of spectators, who
were often entirely at loss as to
which was the artist. The 1lgure
stands with a little mask In one hand
and an instrument for carving In the
other; the lifelike eyes are apparent
ly gazing at the mask, and the face
wears q look Of intense absorption.

viii Luna County Stockmen Get ths
Significance Of the Following?

Columbus County, n. c., is In a sad
tine being replaced against the cattle
fever tick. This action means that the
intrastate movement OF cattle from
that county shall be made only In ac-
cordance with the regulations Of the
Secretary OF Agriculture, to prevent
the spread Of cattle fever which Is car
ried by the tick.
Columbus County was released from
the quarantine on December 1, 1919,
but the county officials, the Depart
ment states, have failed to provide the
cooperation necessary to clean up the
small amount OF infestation that re-
mained when the quarantine was re-
moved. II Is also stated that because
Of the failure to complete the work Of
tick eradication In this county the ticks
have multiplied to large degree this
season and are likely to prove menace
to other counties which have engaged
In eradication work or who are prepar.
ing To do so The quarantine will re-
main on Columbus county, II Is STATED,
until the ticks are cleaned out suffi-
ciently to remove the danger of spread
ing the infestation.
This item OF news is sufficient to
show the Departments intention of
making thorough cleaning up of cat
tie diseases, and we are confident that
the stockmen OF Luna county will lend
every effort possible to make clean
job OF the scabies while they are at il
and thereby remove the quarantine for
good when II is once removed by the
Federal authorities.

Record Wheat Crop Harvested

New Mexico has just completed har-
vesting the largest wheat crop ever
produced In the history OF the State.
Condition reports ON all other crops, as
well as ON the ranges and live stock,
also show a condition unsurpassed. In
dications are that New Mexico, will
stand first this month among all the
states in the splendid condition OF Its
crops, ranges and live stock. This con-
dition is most gratifying and encour-
aging to our Stockmen and Farmers.
While heavy losses have resulted
from drouth In the North central and
Northwestern States and excessive
rains and the ravages OF the boil weavil
are taking heavy toll In the South.
New Mexico Is ENJOYING period OF
unsurpassed prosperity from its bounti-
ful harvests.
Estimates and forecasts OF produc-
tion based on condition August l, are
given below for all the principal crops
of the State.
Winter Wheat-The State has pro-
duced 20 bu. of Winted Wheat per acre,
which Is renal rkable In view OF the fact
that over so per cent OF this crop IL
grown on dry farms. This means that
New Mexico has harvested 3.460,OOO bu.
Of Winter Wheat this year.
Reports for the United States are
disappointing. The threshing figures
show for the country only 715.O00OO0
bu., which Is 123,5S2O00 less than last
months forecast. The crop. however.
will exceed last years production by
156.551 900 bu.
Spring Wheat-A condition at har-
vest Of 90 per cent for Spring Wheat
insures 2,35OOOO bu. OF this crop from
our $4,000 acres in the State.
In this crop the United States again
falls short of last months estimate,
and last years production by 1873 mil
lion.
All Wheat-New Mexico has pro-
duced 5,S10,0O0 bu. OF wheat this year.
This means that we will have the nee
essary six bu. per capita, can export
10000 bu. to foreign countries to as
sist in relieving the serious and appall-
ing conditions, and still have enough
left for seed.
Last months forecast of the United
States, predicted over a billion bushel
crop OF All Wheat. Conditions during
July reduced the estimate slightly be-
low this mark. but at the still high fig
ure OF 040,000,0O0 bu., or nearly % bill
lion bu. above last years prduction.
Corn--Condition August l, forecasts
a production OF 5.42s.S00 bu. OF corn In
this State, unless unusually unfavora-
BILE conditions develop within the next
few weeks, New Mexico will break all
previous records In corn production.
Every county I'm the State reports a
high condition OF the corn crop for this
date.
The estimated production Of corn on
Deming graphic., 1919-08-19

August 1, is 2,7ss,O00. 900 bu. This Is
below last months estimate. but ex-
ceeds last years production by 205,'
$4,000 bu.
Oats-A condition OF 90 per cent
ON the $500 acres planted In the State
forecasts yield OF 1.S53,2S0 bu. This
is about the same as the large crop
Of 1916.
The crops for the United States, Is
estimated at 100000, 600 bu., or 272,.
359,000 less than last years crop.
Barley-A condition OF 9S per cent
ON 1900 acres In the State forecasts
a yield OF $4,000 bu. compared to 302,.
600 bu. last year.
Rye--A yield Of 20 bu. per acre on
Q, 100 acres means a harvest of 1S2 900
bu. I'm the State.
Potatoes-A 30 per cent condition Of
this crop forecasts 1902 900 bu. in the
State.
The United States forecast is 357,-
100000 bu.. or 100000 bu. less than
last year.

BARLEY AT sILT0N
is BADLY DAMAGED

The brley growers at Silton have
been hard hit by several diseases that
have seriously injured the crop. The
four or five growers represent total
Of 125 acres In this crop. And among
these +. ID. Sticlmey and II. A. Lewis
are perhaps the largest looserS
The county agents attention was
called to this last week and he lmme'
diately sent several samples OF the dis
eased barley TO the plant pathologist
Mt the State College. He reports the
following:
"The plants are affected with leaf
rust, stem rust or common black rust
loose smut, and helminthosporium leaf
blotch. There Is nothing that you car
do TO control leaf or stem rust, the
smut can wholly and the blotch par
TALLY controlled by treating the seed
with formalin just before planting, the
leaf blotch Is nj times very bad; In this
county (Dona Anal some fields have
100 per cent infection and twenty
per cent loss. II produces spots or
long brown stripes on the leaves, In
fection may extend TO the heads and
destroy the grain. This Is disease
chiefly introduced with the seed, there
fore the value of clean seed becomes
apparent. II you need further infor'
nation. will be glad 10 help you put

Mr.. Stickney reports that he has
grown some barley for the past several
years and has never had any Of these
diseases In his crop. He has always
counted barley fair crop TO grow in
his section and this year he put all Of
his land, so acres, into this one crop
The disease called blotch has extended
to the heads and the grain Is very
badly damaged.

The Production of Electrical Current
at Hurley and Tyrone

One OF the interesting side issues of
Secreary l.. l.. Gaskill and the county
agents marketing trip to Grant coun-
" last week was the Information OBJ
tanned on the manufacturing and use Of
electricity at Hurley and Tyrone. On
inquiry as TO what extent the mining
companies In these towns would be In
terested In the Elephant Butte Power
project they were told that the mining
companies were not interested in the
least because their engineers were OF
the opinion that the companies were
now producing their electrical current
cheaper than II could be run over from
the Dam. The engineer at Hurley In
formed them that now, while they
were running only under half load,
they were producing their current for
1.2 cents per kilowatt hour. And I'M
der ordinary conditions OF running fun
capacity, II cost little less than
cent per kilowatt hour.
In Tyrone where the large Diesel
engines are used and oil Is consumed
for fuel the cost OF electrical current
under full capacity is only three
fourths OF a cent per kilowatt hour.
The engineer at Hurley maintained
that II was the policy OF his company
to control. so far as possible, every
phase OF their business 50 as not 10 be
dependent ON any outside concern. He
further said that with their place CEN

1t is very likely. that during the

every county teachers institute this

McHenry and Ward counties favor
