It appears to me that there is u
great field for cooperation between
the livestock growers and the farmers
and | think the farm bureaus and
livestock associations should get to-
gether and work out a plan where
by the livestock can be conserved and
the farmers products utilized to the
best possible advantage. There should
be no disagreements, and ! doubt il
there are any, between the livestock
men and the farmers, because our
interests are mutual and we only need
to get together occasionally to find
out how dependent we are on one
another.

DOES CLUB WORK PAY?
By J. D. HOPPER.

In Curry County Farm Bureau News.
have been asked the question,
"Does Boys and Girls Club Work
Pay?" In reply to this question I
will just relate how it has affected
the work on our farm. In 1918, /
had two children in club work, one
having chickens and the other a pig.
Ny little girls chickens took first
prize that year at the county exhibit;
and she did very well selling her pure
bred cockrels. As ! remember IL,
she got about two dollars a piece for
them. She stayed with the poultry
club last year and from her small
flock has sold thirty five dollars
worth Of cockrels and still has three
or four left. We have. sold sixty set,
tings Of eggs and we cannot near sup
ply the demand. While consider. the
Increased value Of the poultry due to
the use of'pure bred stock worth sew
eral times what 1t has cost, yet this
is small item compared with the
valuable lessons my daughter has
learned about breeding, selecting and
feeding good birds. She would never
think Of using scrubs again.
The same may be said Of my boys
in the pig club. They have not only
made good profit on their stock,
but have learned how to feed and Sc
lect hogs both for fattening and
breeding purposes. The boys both
have registered Poland Chinas and
they are interested in improving the
livestock on the farm. This year
they are going to get a Holstein calf
and join the calf club.
l have noticed a wonderful i'm
provement, both in the crops and live
stock during the last three years, due
in a great measure, to the boys and
girls club work. II we parents will
get behind the farm bureau and the
club work, there will be no scrub
livestock or farm crops produced in
Curry County in the future.
This is a cooperative movement
which will benefit every stockman,
farmer and, indirectly, every business
man in the county. Why not boost

1T PAYS TO DO IT RIGHT

Curry County Farm Bureau News.)
For the past three or four years,
Mr.. W. ]. Mathews Of Texico, has
been spreading his stable manure on
his land and the results have been so
noticeable and have paid so well, that
this year he has hauled several loads
from town and spread il on his land.
He says he is going to fix his barn
up so that he can save all the manure,
because he knows that it will pay
well to fertilize. He knows that we
cannot go on year after year taking
crops off our land and never putting
anything back without depicting the
fertility and once the fertility Is gone
It takes something to put it back.
The Nav England states are having
their experience now. We can easily
avoid the experiences Of older couh-
tries by paying a little attention to
the conservation Of the manure pro-
duced on our farms; while at the
same time increasing the yield Of our
crops. o.. -
Last year, Mr.. Mathews had a
patch Of these little yellow weeds,
commonly known as sap weeds. We
all know that nothing else will grow
where they have possession. Mr..
Mathews covered them with manure
and planted his crop where they
we're and produced a good crop, be-
sides killing out every weed.
Mr.. Mathews selects his seed in
the field every year and last year for
the first time he treated it for smut
control, and he says it paid him well.
He says that he could tell right to
the row where the seed had been
treated, and where it had not. This
year all Of his kaffir corn, cane and
broom corn will be treated.

THE FARMERS RELATION TO
BIG LIVESTOCK GROWERS.
Livestock Convention at Roswell,
March 29-30-3l.
By WILL H. pATTIsoN

BY WILL H. PATTISON
In Curry County Farm Bureau News.
have just attended big livestock
convention at Roswell, and | must
confess that l never realized how
much the farmers of Curry County
are losing by not utilizing the by-pro-
ducts Of their farms, until Il was
brought out in one of our meetings
at this convention. One of the big
stock men complained that he had
been compelled to ship his poor cows
and old bulls to Kansas and sell them
at a very low price as feeders, be-
cause he did not have feed to winter
them through, In the same meeting
a farmer complained that he was
forced to ship lot of second class
hay to Kansas because he had nothing
to feed 1t to. Then asked If it were
not possible that this hay went to
feed the cattle shipped by the big
owner.
Now there are hundreds of old
cows and calves and old ewes and
lambs shipped out of New Mexico
every year and sold at a very low
price as feeders, which might as we'll
be kept here at home and fed on our.
straw, pummies and grain at a hand
some profit, both to the stock owner
and the farmer. l can see no good
reason why the stock man should
send an old COW and calf to Kansas
and sell them at the price he should
get for the calf alone and then our
farmers ship their grain and hay to
the same place to feed them. Now II
1t is profitable for the feeders Of
Kansas to buy this stuff and feed it
through the winter, surely there
would be a profit to feed them here
where we have the fields, straw
stacks and grain, which otherwise
goes to waste. We could feed thous-
ands of old ewes and cut back lambs
here every year on feed that other
wise goes to waste. ] think the
farmers Of Curry County should take
more interest in sheep raising, be-
cause the sheep is one Of the most
economic feeders we have. They will
eat lots Of weeds, which cattle will
not touch. They will also utilize
other feed to better advantage.
Grain does not need to be ground for
sheep, so in many cases they could
harvest q crop Of kaffir corn or
maize, thus solving the labor problem
and at the same time cleaning the
field of bad weeds, and marketing the

High Wages and High Prices.

Senator Calder of New York called
at the department of labor on official
business the other day. Exercising a
senatorial prerogative, he took occasion
TO assert that high wages are respon-
sible for the high cost of living. Here's

voted for the anti-strike clause in the
Cummins railroad bill. Yesterday /

pert investigators and statisticians OF
the department, was present and heard
the senator's brief against labor. sup
pose We get the facts on the high cost
Of shoes" suggested Stewart. This de-
partment has just completed statistics
on wages and costs of production in six
Of the largest shoe manufacturing
plants in the United States. Before
the war. the average labor cost IN
pair Of shoes was about 81 cents. Since
1914 the wages OF shoeworkers have
been increased IS per cent, and the
average labor cost in a pair Of shoes
today is Is cents. Il requires about
three square feet Of leather TO make
a pair Of shoes for man. This leath-
er costs the factory on an average OF
81 cents a foot. or S2.6l for a pair OF
shoes. Add 10 this the 6S cents paid
the shoe worker and you have a total
labor and material cost Of $500. The
difference between this sum and the
Sl2 YOU paid was added after the shoes
left the worxiuglnan's hands. With
this showing Of facts i !. hardly fair
TO charge high wages with being re

A Word to the Voters:
Governor Clement was nominated on

to put the Republicans in hole; the
Republicans shut their eyes and swal-
lowed him like bitter pill; he has
given them acute Indigestion ever since
BY opposing every important measure
that they have favored He still re-
fuses to call special session OF the
legislature to act ON the amendment
which will give Vermont women the
right to vote for president next fall,
although recently requested to do so
by the Republican state committee.

place Vermont in the position OF being
opposed to national prohibition He

By an oversight Of the last legisla-
ture. ballots have to be given TO the
voters tomorrow to vote again on the
question of the saloon. A saloon Is an
impossibility, but the ballots have to
be given to us when we vote. Few men
will vote tomorrow, as there Is no
question at issue this year. There are
only two contests in any OF the wards
in our city.
Every man who does not want our
governor TO say that Vermont Is OPP
posed to the constitution of the United
States should 20 to the polls tomorrow
and vote ono" on the license question.
There will be a few men in every
town who will vote yes for a joke.
Their votes should not give their town
the black eye of standing for rum.
After eight months of prohibition, no
community would vote to bring back
the saloon, if it were possible to have
il. To morrow is the last time that we
shall have TO vote on the license ques-
ton. For the reputation of our fair
state, let's 90 and vote no and spike
the governors guns, who is hoping that
in a small vote the per cent of yes
votes may be large.
Yesterdays dispatches stated that
the New Jersey House had passed a
bill in direct violation of the United
States constitution that the Senate
would pass il to-day, and the governor
would sign il at once, as il is his bill.
Trouble between the United States and
New Jersey must come. Vermont has
always been 100 per cent loyal to the

being an ally of New Jersey If not,
