TURN WASTE ON
THE FARM INTO DOL
LARS AND CENTS
A few Sheep on Every Farm
would Utilize Feed now
Going to Waste

Earl Moulton, who for num-
ber of years has been in the sheep
business in the Estancia Valley,
and is now connected with the
Chas. llfeld Company, is in Noun
tainair today, to meet some of our
farmers and discuss with them
the possibility and advantages of
keeping a few sheep on each
farm.
In talking with the Indepen-
dent man, Mr.. Moulton said:
''There is so much feed going to
waste in this part of the coun-
try, which could easily be turned
to a cash bank balance. There
are great stacks Of bean hulls-
some Of which have stood un-
touched since last years crop
was threshed-which together
with feed left to waste in the
fields after harvest, could readily
be turned to good account. If the
farmers would secure few sheep,
according to the amount of feed
they have, and allow the sheep
to utilize this otherwise waste
product, they would be surprised
at the returns from the small IN
vestment. For example, old ewes
could be secured, and bred to
lamb rather early in the spring.
Then by pushing the feeding of
the lambs little, by July or Aug
ust, the lambs will bring more
than the original cost Of the ewes,
and the farmer has the ewes left
as well as the wool from them. AT
every bean-hull stack, there are
enough beans that have gone
through the separator together
with splits and damaged beans
which the sheep will eat, to sup
ply all the grain necessary for the
animals. Give the sheep some
pasturage together with the run
of the stack, and they will practi-
cally care for themselves, and
grow fat at it.
"ln speaking Of t iii
tion for sheep, Mr.. Moulton said
that from a fourth to a half Of a
pound of beans contains all the
food properties in the way Of
grain that a sheep needs. At this
maximum amount 100 pounds of
beans or splits would feed one
sheep 200 days or about 7 months.
| know from experience that
beans, bean hulls and pasture will
cause the sheep to put ON flesh
and keep them in good condition.
A small bunch of sheep on the
side, will help the farmers to a
nice income. "
If there are any who might care
to take a few sheep and make the
experiment, Mr.. Moulton is in a
position to assist them, and if de-
sired can arrange that no cash
outlay will be necessary.

FORCED TO SUBMIT
HIGHWAY BOND ISSUE
Although Highway Commission
Favors Extension of Special
Levy Ballot Must be Printed

The highway bond proposal,
calling for the issuance of bonds
in the sum of 100000 for meet
ing federal aid projects, will be
submitted at the coming election.
The highway commission favers
Ia continuance of the special levy
for the purpose and the Taxpay-
ers Association of New Mexico
recently took a stand against the
bond issue, but, owing to the fact
that the highway bond act of the
Legislature made it mandatory up
on the secretary of state to place
the proposal before the voters that
official could find no other course
unless he violated the legislature s
instruction.
There is little doubt as to the
fate of the proposal in view of the
highway commissions decision,
which means, Of course, that no
campaign in favor of the bonds
will be pushed, and the stand
taken by the Taxpayers associa-
ton, but the Legislative charge up
OH the secretary of state makes
an expenditure roughly estimated
at $3,0OO-chiefly publication and
printing costs.
The act provided that these
costs come from the highway fund
and the highway department,
keenly interested in saving the
$4,000 for road building, and the
lsecreary of states office have
been looking for loophole
through which they could escape
the mandatory provision for sub
mission of the question. After an
exhaustive search, however, they
were unable to find any way out
without running afoul the act and
the effort was reluctantly given
lup.
! The ballots for the bond pro-
posal already have been printed
and will be sent out to the county
clerks Offices in a day or two
from the secretary of states Of
flee. These are the only ballots
to be furnished by the secretary
Of states office at the coming
election. There are no other bond
proposals or constitutional amend
ments requiring action of the
electorate Of the state at large
The bonds were intended to pro
vide funds for meeting federal aid
allotments to the state for road
building. The highway depart.
ment hasn't anywhere near the
amount required for this purpose
for the three--year program avail.
able, but it was believed that the
bonds stood little chance of carry
ing and for that reason the ex
tension of the special levy, in
tended for the same purpose, was
believed by the highway commits
sion to be the best means.
The Legislature will be asked tC
extend the special levy.
