HIMSELF To MD
SHEEP INDUSTRY
New Senator Predicts Early
Passage of Emergency
Tariff Measure BY Nation
al Congress.

Taking tho optimistic view of
the stockman's present situation,
Senator II. o. Bursum declared to
the delegates of the New Mexico
Wool Growers association yester-
day that: THE flag of the sheep
men has flown before in prosperous
skies and 1t will do so again"
Senator Bursum prophesied that
the emergency tariff measure will
be q law within the next thirty
days.
THE present congress is strong
for protection" Senator Bursum
declared, land feel sure of my
ground in stating that they will
pass the emergency tariff bill with
in short time after convening."
A protective tariff is thoroughly
favored by New Mexico's new sem
ator, but he cautioned the dele
gates not to expect too much from
it.
"a protective tariff will help, but
the fate of the stock industry de-
pends on yourselves. The faith, de-
votion and energy which you are

dustry must be scientifically and
economically handled
Senator Bursum indicated that if
the sheep men had been better pre-
pared, they would not have suffered
so much during the reconstruction
period.
DRY farming has been a great
success in this state" he stated,
"and l advise sheep men to go in
for a little agricultural work.
There are tracts on most every
ones grazing land which can be
cultivated. A little work in this
direction will proYe of great bene..
fit, for the grower will then have
his own feed on hand to use during
the periods of lean pasture"
Thoroughly defining the stand
he will take In the senate regarding
the stockmen legislation, Senator
Bursum concluded his address with
the statement that, you wool
growers and cattlemen can rely on
me making my best efforts in as
sisting this industry. which l con-
slider one of the most important
in any country"

w Washlngton, March 20
The old Payne-Aldrich tariff
duty on grease wool, eleven
cents a pound, has been
agreed upon by the house
subcommittee framing the
permanent tariff measure to
be introduced at the extra
session.
Members said today the
wool schedule pro b a b | y
would be adopted by the
full committee without ma
terial change.
Taking grease wool as the
basis, the rate on washed
wool would be % cents and
on secured 33 cents. In the
emergency tariff. the grease
wool duty is Is cents. BY
accepting these figures the
committee virtually revives
schedule K, long fought over
in congress.
Mr. Fordney told republican SEN
ators today that tariff revision
would have clear right of way in
the house. The committee bill for
revision of the internal revenue
taxes will net be introduced. he
said, until both the emergency
tariff and the general revision bills
have been passed.
Fordney Sees Penrose.
Representative Fordney confer
red with Chairman Penrose of the
senate finance committee and is
understood to have been urged to
modify his plans for procedure
with the internal tax legis' alton.
As near simultaneous consideration
of the tariff and tax bills as posi-
BILE is advocated by several influ-
entail republican senator's,
A general tax modification plan

publicans of the house committee,

profit tax and reduction OF, the
higher income surtax is virtually
certain, but an agreement aS to
substitute tax was said not to have
been reached.

Due to the large number of del
egates and visitors expected at the
cattle growers meeting, it has been
arranged to hold the sessions in
the federal court room in the post
office building. The opening ses-
sion will be called to order by
President T. f., Mitchell of Albert
at 10 o'clock.
Confronted with practically the
same questions as the sheep grow
ers, the cattlemen will probably
add their support to many of the
resolutions adopted by the wool
growers Some of the most promi-
nent cattIemen of the west and of
New Mexico will address the con-
vention during its three-day ses.
sion.
Cooperation to BE Keynote.
Freight rates, market conditions
and possibilities, national forest
grazing matters, finances and
many other equally important mat
ters will be taken up by the con-
vention. The organization of the
stockmen is gradually becoming
more firmly established and CO.
operation will be the keynote Of
the convention starting here to-
morrow morning.

vention of the American National
Cattlemen's association held last
winter at Ell Paso. Tex, that CO.
stockmen of the west and south
west coming through the recon-
struction period In fair financial
condition. Much was done toward
a closer union of the individuals
and state association at that
meeting. Many of the suggest ions
made at the national convention
will be considered by the New
Mexico growers, who were we'll
represented In El Paso and in
many instances took the lead in
formulating the nationals course
of action which was adopted for
this year.
Officers Here.
Several officers of the cattle
mems association arrived in the
city yesterday and it is expected
that informal meetings of the COM
mittees will be held prior to the
opening of the convention in order
that this tedious routine business
may be well out of the way and
not block the carrying out of the
program as arranged for the ses-
sions of the convention. While
there is large amount of COM

Der until April. which necessitated
an enormous expense for feed at
war prices to prevent our breeding
ewes from dying. In spite of this
expense about 90 per cent of all
the sheep in New Mexico perished
and the remaining ewes were so
poor that they were unable to
mother their lambs and very light
lamb crop resulted,
Growers Forced to Borrow.
ITO save their sheep. growers
were forced to borrow almost as
much as banks were willing to loan
upon their flocks even under con-
ditions of easy credits and high
valuations.
1.-The fairly favorable season of
1918 and 1919 enabled growers to
pay off a portion of this indebted
ness, and TO partially restore their
herds by saving eve lambs. Yet
they went into the winter of 1919
and 1920 still heavily in debt and
the enormous carrying charges due
to the high cost of labor and sup
plies, forced them to add greatly
to their Indebtedness.
Wool Market Collapses.
with growers thus deeply in
volved. and depending upon the
1920 wool clip to ease them up with
their banks and with much of the
clip still unshorn. came the COM
plete collapse of the wool market
in May, 1920.
Since that time there has been
practically no market for wool and
rs per cent of the 1920 clip is still
in the hands of the growers.
Meantime, war time wages and
other war time expenses have con-
tinued so that, while there Is no
market for sheep and wool upon
which to estimate values, 1t Is fair
to state that most of the wool
growers of New Mexico owe more
than their sheep and wool are
worth. The average Indebtedness
being about SIS per head, as against
$3.50 per head in pre-war times.
Our present running expenses
are far in excess of any returns we
may hope for under present condi-
tions, so that time is only serving
to make our plight more hopeless.
I'VE realize that the misfortune
of our industry is in part shared by
all enterprises, as the result of re-
construction; so far as this is true
we make no claim for relief. But
there are peculiar conditions af-
fecting the wool industry of the
west which will cause its complete
destruction il not soon corrected.
Among these conditions is the fact
that owing to adverse weather con-
ditions recounted above, the sheep
men of New Mexico in common
with others of the range states,
were not able during the period of
high prices to accumulate sur

opened and softly closed.
With brisk step that indicated he

notorious renegade walked around the
west end of the cabin, past the spring,

waterfall, where the Pearlhunter, who

night was intensely still. Not an oar
stirred the river. The waterfall alone
fretted the silence. The Pearlhunter

The shock of her sons death re-

Mrs. Dodd's health, but everyone will

she is now in splendid health again.
When seen at her home recently she
made the following statement, giving
the entire credit for her recovery to
the Well-known medicine, Tanlac.
AFTER my dear boys death I had
q general breakdown in health" said
Mrs. Dodd. "At first it was just in
digestion. Ny food used to upset me
and I had to diet myself very care
fully, which wasn't much hardship,
as lost all desire to eat. Then had
an attack Of rheumatism, with severe
pains in my shoulders, back and arms.
Sometimes I used to suffer a great
deal, and my joints would get all
swollen up and stiff. I was able to do
very little about the house, and at
times couldn't even cook meal. I
got very nervous and restless, and at
night would lay awake for hours, and
lost many a nights sleep as conse-
quence.
"A friend Of mine had received a
great deal of help from Tanlac, and
it was she who advised me to try it.
7 am so glad + did for it proved the
best medicine I have ever taken. 1t
soon gave me a good appetite and
seemed to settle my stomach so that
was no longer troubled with indiges-
ton. I don't know what it is to have
rheumatic pains now, the swelling and
stiffness has all gone out Of my
Joints and I am able to do the work
Of the house with the greatest ease.
My nerves are now steady and strong.
I sleep fine at night, and feel better
in health than ever before in my life.
shall always be grateful for what
Tanlac has done for me, and shall
recommend it every chance I get"
