Of wheat, one acre of corn, and one
acre Of cotton, and then the amount
purchasable for an average acre of all
OF those crops for the years Of 1919,
1914 and 1909
OF few OF the articles listed one
can get more for an average acre OF
crops in 1919 than In either OF the pre-
ceeding years. But on most. even the
selling price per acre is a great deal
more for 1919 than the preceding
years, the purchasing value Is consid-
erably less.
On farm machinery the purchasing
value Of an acre Of crops Is about the
same In 1919 as in 1914 and 1909. But
ON clothing and shoes the purchasing
value Of an acre OF crops is consider
ably less.
The conclusion. therefore. is that
even the farmer is receiving a higher
price for his crops In these latter days.
the purchasing value OF an acre Of
crops Is not as great as I'm the earlier
years. and the farmer, therefore, is
not benefited by high prices, but on the
contrary is not as well off.

FREE WATER FOR TREES

A reduction OF 10 cents each from
the monthly water bill OF the owners
Tor trees on city streets and avenues
is the plan for encouraging the planting
ana care OF trees in Albuquerque sug-
gested In letter to the secretary OF
the chamber Of commerce by the men,
Der.
Stating that he is very much in
terested In the present activities of
the chamber OF commerce townrd max
ing Albuquerque more beautiful city
and commencing the reduction of the
water rate for gardens, he says:
But what do you think Of re-
duced water rate for trees, especially
IN the part OF the city where they
nave to he watered as long as they live.
and the older they are the more water
they require?
1T Is true that In the lowlands
after tree gets few years growth.
the roots reach moisture and they will
continue to grow without being water
ed This Is not true however, in that
part OF the city lying east OF Broadway.
since trees, especially those planted
along the street are public property,
In way, benefiting the whole city,
and the city reserves the right to trim
or cut them down II II chooses, and
since the city owns the water, do you
not think II would be fair for the city
to furnish free water where neededY"
The chamber OF commerce member
then suggests that an amount OF "say
10 cents per month for each tree In
The street be allowed from the water
rate. provided such allowance did not
reduce the minimum OF $3.50 per
month.
'The meter reader could make note
ut each reading Of the growing trees
and the office could make the allow

Der then suggests that II such a plan
Is considered avisable, that the matter

OUR ADVENTUROUS BAKER

How would you like TO be captured
by wild women? Yes, we mean real
wild women, not the kind found in FL
Paso. Such an experience might be
solicited by many men, but according
to Otto Paul Preussler, the globe
trotter and our baker, II Is not so good
as IL sounds. IL was In 1905 when he
was travelling overland from Bolivia 10
Argentine that he was rounded up by
a band Of wild women and forced to
marry one of their number. Now. TO
look at our baker, you would know
right away that men must have been
pretty scarce out there In South Amer
lea. Well, after remaining with the
savages some time, he managed TO es-
cape and take his new wife with him
Once In Argentine they settled down
and some three little Preusslers arrived
TO bless his home.
During the war our baker en- tered
the marine service as cook and made
number OF trips through the sub
marine zone. On one occasion, while
In the Mediterranean Sea, his ship, the
BLACK Arrow" was unsuccessfully at
lacked by submarine aud only
escaped by good fortune. Preusslei
has selected Deming as his home and
already Is the proud owner OF a house
and several lots. He intends to save
his money and when he has a sui.
ficient bank roll the little wife in Ar
genuine Is coming here to live.

Deming Cooperative Exchange Is For
maIiy acknowledgement, Ramsay,
POrtwoOd. Elliot, and Doderer
Elected on Board Of Directors

One OF the ost important meetings
ever held in Deming, it is believed by
many, occurred on Tuesday at the arm.
CRY, where mre than fifty men and a
few women gathered to formally
launch what is 10 he known as the
DeD,ing Cooperative Exchange.
The meeting was called by com
mittee Of the farm bureau. which has
heen working on the proposition of a
cooperative produce market and store.
After II was apparent TO the committee
that the 5000, which was deemed
necessary 10 start the business, was in
sight, a meeting was claled of those
who had subscribed for stock, and the
business was put on foot.
The meeting was called to order by
j. e. Ingram, chairman Of the commit
tee Temporary chairman and secre-
tary were Hugh Ramsey and J. +.
Doderer.
Chairman Ramsay first called for
more new subscribers and increase OF
subscriptions from those who had al
ready subscribed. In n few minutes
$3.50 more was subscribed for the
project.
Next, the proposed bylaws were
taken up. article by article. discussed.
amended. and approved. These by
laws had been very carefully studied
by some present and about every flaw
in them was eliminated A. c. Elliot
was particularly commended for his
sagacity in this respect.
Following the adoption of the by
laws, action was taken to select those
who would act as incorporators, hut
each kept in mind that the five incor-
porators would also act as directors
until the next stockholders meeting.
When nominations were open for these
officers there appeared to be many IA
vOrites, dozen or more being nomi- |
mated, hut the choice finally fell on J. |
c. Ingram and Hugh Ramsey to repre- |
sent the farmers, Marion V. POrtwoOd |
TO represent the stockmen, and A. G. |

Hatfieid's 1919 Bean Crop Costs 3Is

acre on eight acres, and G. ID. Hat

on IS acres Mr.. Shope produced his
crop for $40 cents per pound and Hat
field produced his for 3.5 cents per
pound, after allowing the value of
bean straw In each case as worth 50
per acre. However. IL both these
crops of beans sold for cents Der

$42 per acre while Slopes would net
$I1.S2 per acre. But, ON the other
hand, IL one would figure ON the net

would have considerably the best OF II.

How Much High Prices for Crops
Benefits the Farmer

The Monthly Crop Reporter for
March, 1920, lists 80 different articles
purchased by farmers and gives the
comparative prices OF these articles
for the years Of 1919, 1913, 1914 and
1909. On all OF these articles the prices
increase from 1909 to 1919.
But the most interesting part OF the
report shows the amount OF each of
these articles purchasable for one acre

Hatfield Also Does Well on His Milo
and Alfalfa Crops

Figuring on his milo crop in the
same manner as the bean crop was
figured. Hatfield's IS acres OF milo
cost S57.S1 per acre to produce. The
yield was $500 pounds per acre and
the cost Of production was 1.5 cents
per hound. Selling this crop for 2.3
cents per pound, nets him 5000 per
acre.
Hatfield's alfalfa crop cost $685.
