Much New Land
Being Broken Nou

Many acres of sod land have been
plowed up this summer and will be
in cultivation next year for the first
time. At the rate that Curry Coun-
~ is getting under the plow it will
not be many years before fifty per
cent of the entire county is under
cultivation. The land has increased
in price until it is no longer profit
able to use such large portion OF
the acreage for grazing purposes.
The increased acres which will be
planted mostly in fall wheat will
make the money crop bigger next
year if another good wheat crop is
made. Weather prophets are already
predicting that there will be Il good
deal of snow this winter as We had
little last winter and il this should be
the case, Curry County he's a good
prospect Of making another good
wheat yield. This section almost IN
variably makes good grain yields
following snowy winters.

increased grain shipments this year
In the first place Clovis elevators have
splendid facilities for handling grain
now. much better than they had last
year The roads to the north are
maintained in better manner and
the freight rates have been re-adjust'
ed. The milling-in-transit rate, to-
gether with the decrease in shipments
gong west, will result in a great saw
inc to farmers and bu.iness men
