what lighter in 1920, and the
price of 3 1-2 cents has discour-
aged the farmers until the acre
age in this crop will be much
lighter for the coming year.
The dairy business, too, should
receive prominent mention in
this article. The amount of
cream shipped daily from the
mesa would easily support at
least one or two creameries and
save a large express bill that is
paid monthly for the shipping of
cream to Ration, Trinidad, Am
arillo and Pueblo. Each of the
creameries at these towns re-
ceive daily large shipments Of
cream from the different towns
Oh the mesa, and then in turn
ship back butter to be sold for
the same towns. We were un-
able to get the latest facts on
cream shipments, but thousands
of dollars are paid monthly for
cream on the mesa. Anyone who
is figuring on entering the
creamery business would do well
to investigate the opening which
the mesa affords in this line.
Wheat and beans are by no
means the only crop raised here.
Corn, the good old standby Of the
eastern states, grows here to
perfection. For the first few
years many believed that only
the flint varieties or Mexican
corn would be a success on the
mesa. This was disproven sew
eral years ago, and now thous-
ands of acres are planted an
nually with crop record of 25
to so bushels per acre. In the
matter of feed crops, sorgum and
Sudan grass are grown quite ex-
tensively and with success each
year and with a yield of from
one to two tons per acre.
And now, something about the
prices of land, and we are thru
for this issue: Land is selling
here for practically the same
price that many renters are pay
ing in annual rent in the east.
Good farms can be purchased at
from 8 to 20 miles out from SIS
to $50 per acre, and as we stat
ed before, the crops on this land
will no doubt pay for the land
within two to three years. Some
of this land is improved, while
other is bare prairie waiting for
the 1pIow to make it produce

A WORD OF ADVICE
GiDe on Enterprising Home
Merchants a Chance, Before
Sending off or Going Else
achere To DO Your Buying.

Don't say, "You can't get any
thing in Roy" and then send off
or go elsewhere to do your shop
ping. In all fairness to your
self and your town, you should
visit the stores of the enterpris-
ing merchants first, and see
what they have to offer, or what
somebody else has said. This is
another year, and many of the
merchants have become very
progressive within the past year
or at least three years.
IL the merchant is a "daad one"
and makes no effort to advertise
or to keep abreast of the times,
don't try to resurrect him; let
him sleep peacefully on. The
merchant, however, who is out
after the business, and is adver-
Using and makes strenuous eff
forts to give you the best and to
tell you about it, should be en-
ccuraged. The least you can do
is to step into his store and see
what he has to offer before send
ing off an order for your needs,
or to go elsewhere to do your
shopping. If you cannot get
what you want in the stores of
the olive wire" merchants, then
you are justified in sending off
your orders, or going elsewhere
to get it, and likewise get the
best possible prices.
But you must remember the
time when YOU were financially
embarrassed, and you needed
some merchandise, and all you
I'D to do at that time was to ex-
plain your circumstances to one
of our Give" merchants, and he
took good care of you. Favors
of that kind should never be for
gotten. Therefore we suggest
that you stay with us, and by do
ing so, you are not only helping
YOUR own future conditions, but
the town and mesa at large.
We bespeak, however, a fair
trial for the Give wire" mer-
chants of Roy, who are trying
to give you the same opportuni-
ties and advantages that you can
get elsewhere. You will find
these merchants all advertising
in the Spanish-American at all
times.

I.O.O.F. ENTERTAIN
GRAND MASTER

The Independent Order of
Odd Fellows had the pleasure Of
entertaining 'Graodmaster LIE.
Byrne Of Clay ton last Wednesday
evening.
Their usual routine Lodge busi-
ness was transacted in the fore
part Of the evening and a number
of very important matters discu-
ssed and disposed of. Then came
an address by the Grandmaster
and which was very highly app.
reciated by the members. His
talk was very instructive and
gave a complete review of the
order since its first organization.
He also gave the loc j lodge some
excellent advice which will be of
value to the members. This is the
first visit that the Homestead
lodge has had from a Graudmas-
ter since their organization in 10
IL.
The lunch Ccmittee had prep
,ared a fine lunch which was ser
we'd in the dining room immedia-
tely after the close of lodge, and
say "OH BOY" it was sure some
feed.
The Homestead lodge has taken
in several new members lately
and now have nearly 100 memb-
ers and is one of the live wide
awake organizati ms Of the town.

BIRTHDAY PARTY

Miss Katherine Gray reached
her 18th birthday last Saturday,
and it is useless to tell her that
thirteen is unlucky, for about
25lor 30 of her schoolmates call
ed on her about 3 o'clock in the
afternoon and made this, her
thirteenth birthday, the happiest
she has yet enjoyed.
The first hour was spent in
playing house games, when re-
freshments were served by Miss
Gary's older sisters. Then the
young people went into the yard,
whore trey played all sorts of
outCoo~ games until the gather
ing darkness drove them to their
several homesa
Little Miss Katherine says if
this, her 18th birthday, is her
unlucky one, she does not fear
for the future ones, as her
friends announced a very pleas
ant evening spent and each left
a gift to show their regard. The
gifts consisted of books, hand
kerchiefs, ribbons, perfumes and
also a beautiful handkerchief
case, all Of which she prizes very
highly.
The young folks, before leav-
ing, wished her many more such
happy and enjoyable birthdays.

CHURCH BOX SOCIAL
BIG FINANCIAL SUCCESS

The box social and drawing
contest given by the several
Protestant churches of the town
at the Christian church last Fri
day night was great success
Goth socially and financially.
A large crowd was present,
and the earlier part Of the even
ing was spent listening to songs
and music. Then came the post
office drawing contest. A lot of
numbers were sold at 25c each,
and you then went to the post
Office and drew the article which
corresponded to the number you
lad. The articles drawn were
numerous, and some very cur
ious purchasers were astonished
at their drawings. If you doubt
this statement ask Ellis Aber-
nathy.
Next came the sale Of boxes.
Yes, there we're Al Of them, but
they sold like hot cakes at .
camp, and at prices ranging
from $10.75 down to S1.25. VIM.
G. Johnson was auctioneer and
Henry Krabbenschmidt clerk.
The receipts for boxes sold were
&136.60, and the drawing net
tci about $25.00. The total re-
ceipts, Including the sale Of cof-
fee and some pies, was $180.70,
which will give those in charge
ample funds to put over a nice
program and Christmas tree for
The public on Xmas eve.

equal to the farms Of the eastern
states. We want our readers Of
the eastern states to bear these
facts in mind next spring when
the landlords are asking SIS to
$40 per acre cash rent on land
that will produce very little
more that the land of this mesa.
And can you, landlord, afford
to own a farm which 500 per
acre rent for land will not net
you over three or four per cent
of the selling price of the land,
when you can get 400 per cent
of the cost Of the land here out
of a few crops? We have in mind
right now farms that produced
S75 per acre net here after de-
.ducting all the cost Of planting,
harvesting, etc.
We want you, Mr.. Small
Farmer and Renter, to come to
this mesa and purchase you q
160-acre farm, or even a sec
tion, where you have all to win
and nothing to lose; we want
you to help us develop this great
mesa and become one Of the
many hundreds that are making
good and getting rich in the west
to help us develop our resources
and make this country what God
intended it to be.
We have thousands, yes, hun
dreds of thousands Of the verv
finest of acres Of virgin soil
waiting for you, and as we have
stated before, at a price as low
as you can rent in the east. We
need farmers, actual farmers
and if we can get at least a
thousand more Of these in the
next few years, the Tequesquite
Mesa will become renowned
throughout the whole United
States. ,
Should you wish further in
formation about this great mesa,
write to the Secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce, Roy,
New Mexico.

FARMERS AND
MERCHANTS

1t is about time that the farm
ers and merchants should organ
ize and cooperate for the better
ment Of the community. Now
that we have organized the
Chamber Of Commerce for the
whole Mesa, everyone should
join it regardless Of what his oc-
cupation may be.
Where a Farmers and Mer-
chants club has been formed,
this organization brings to its
weekly meetings the merchant of
the town and farmers Of the
country in closer touch with
each other. Here are discussed
in an open way the business and
social problems of the commun-
ity. With policies so determin-
ed, the work of the merchant and
the farmer force is comparative
ly easy.
With none of the problems of
a large city to solve, the work Of
a Chamber of Commerce in a
community like this should in
clude meeting the needs of the
farm as well as that of the town.
At the same time such Chamber
would afford social advantages
similar to the old literary societ-
les and sociables.
The Chamber of Commerce
that is a community center is
usually a successful Chamber of
Commerce; therefore we urge
everyone to Join, and our sue
cess for cooperation is assured.

ABOUT THE
TEQUESQUITE MESA
Send This TO Your Friends IN the
East

We have been collecting data
or the past few weeks ID give
our readers on the mat er of
production and other facts of the
Tequesquite Mesa, the be 1t dry
farming portion Of New Elexico.
The Tequesquite Mesa j prob
ably better advertised thfn any
other portion of New I .exico,
and is a narrow strip of llnd IL
to 80 miles wide and reaches
from the Bell Ranch on tho south
to the Ration mountains on the
north, a distance of probgbly 60
to rs miles in length. II is one
of the great mesas of the State
on which dry farming has been
carried successfully since the
first settling by homesteaders in
1906. The Mesa lies in eastern
Mora, western Union and south
ern Colfax counties, and reaches
within 25 miles of the Colorado
line on the north and within 40
miles Of the Texas line on the
east.
The growing volume Of busi-
ness Of this mesa has exceeded
the expectations of the most op-
timistic. Where but a few years
ego were nothing but great herds
Of cattle and droves Of sheep are
now fine homes and farms that
are equal to those of our eastern
friends. Lands that were worth
practically nothing a few years
ago are now selling readily at
from $40 to $50 per acre. Crops
raised on these same lands prac-
tically pay for the land in from
one to three years. During the
year 1919 land selling at $40 to
$50 per acre produced from 20 to
20 bushels of wheat per acre and
corn from Is to 40 bushels, and
other crops proportionately. For
1920 the crops we're practically
as good as 1919, but the damage
sby hail cut the whole yield Of
the mesa considerably. We
might say right here that this
asa has not had as much hail
during the past Ia years as has
western and central Oklahoma
and Kansas.
Wheat farming became q real
ity on the mesa in 1915 and the
production has increased several
fold in the past four years. In
1914 we had probably 400 farm
ers on the Mesa, and in 1920 this
number has increased to about
to 1900 actual farmers. II
1914 we had about 5000 acres
of wheat, and during the present
seeding time over 10000 acres
have been sown to wheat and the
greater portion is now being pas
tured. In 1919 over $4,000
bushels of wheat were shipped
'rom the Mesa, and about one
half Of this amount in 1920.
Mora county showed several
thousand more acres of wheat
planted in 1919 and 1920 than
any other county in the State,
and practically all the acreage in
the county was on this mesa.
Another important factor in
the line of production of the
mesa is the pinto bean. In 1919
over 10000 acres were planted,
ID the yield was above the 400
10. mark per acre and sold at &c
er pound. The yield was some

Most Of the clerks are youths ranging
