FOR THE COMMON GOOD

~ 8 we anderxfand Il, some 500 Albuquerque business men have been
a asked by telephone and have agreed to attend q meeting In the
~ Chamber Of Commerce tomorrow night, TO enter into a confer
crrc with the board Of directors of that organization a 20 WAYS and
mesns for accomplishing two major objechves,
l.. To revive and extend the activities OF the organization, so as
10 make IL function effectively as G means Of commercial, industrial
and population growth.
2 To secure for tho, organisation the support and active back
fr in money and personal effort Of the whole community.
I'M such g movement there can be ne place for criticism OF any in
dividual or group Of individuals. IL is not individual criticism and
suggestion for overcoming obstacles that are now standing in the way
ef efccfinR community effort
On the street today we have heard small waeers proposed as to
whether or not this or thut individual would be at the meeting to-
norrow night, As 10 whether the community spirit of this man or
that WIS sufficiently alive and loyal to take him away from his bus
iness, his club cardgxrae or his home for the evening, as TO whether.
this or that man would be willing TO come out and cooperate with
certain other men in q community effort. Aud these wagers have led
said they would be there, win be on the job when the meeting is
called TO- order. r I
The fact that such wagers could be made; the suggestion that so
per cent Of promises TO take part In community meeting of speh inn
portance would be broken; these are sufficiently illustrative Of one
Of the community conditions that needs to be overecme.
II Albuquerque is to progress and grow, its people must stop
pplling apart.
We ere informed that while a certain number Of men have been
asked by telephone and letter to attend this meeting las many as
time would pernit-every citizen os Albuquerque will be welcome at
this meeting, Il is TO open promptly at 8 o'clock. Its purpose is to
show 10 the community what the Chamber Of Commerce has done;
what IL Is now doing and what 1t has had before il TO do during the
coming year; to ascertain, IL possible, II that program is sufficiently
active and comprehensive to meet the needs of the city and If not to
suggest ways to expand il; and to put behind whatever program is
agreed upon, the united support Of the whole city.
The meeting tomorrow night, then, is for the good of the order,
and the common welfare. Such a meeting can hardly be overlooked
or refused his presence BY any man who has the welfare Of Albuquer-
que at heart.
Will YOU be there. Mr.. Mani
Or will you be one Of those, who, by your absence, may be classed,
perhaps unjustly, as one harboring a grouch, a grudge or a confirmed
case Of personal indifference 70 the future of the community

An Old Friend
Comes Back
lkannaa ON star.l

That delightful sour milk story Is
cut again. II this time from
C~aucasia whence a professor OF the
University OF kicv sends the glad word
that he has discovered a village whore
almost everybody Is NJ least 100 years
old. That's the way all the sour
milk stories start. and Il was idcnti-
fled instantly without further read
ing. And sure enough. upon investi-
CATION our Kiev professor found that
these hale and sprlghtly persons had
fed on sou milk and cheese from
childhood's happy hour.
There il only one disturbing thing
about these stories II Is the fact. well
atteHted by travellers who do not
happen TO be professors. that the In
habitants of the Balkans and the
other regions where this legend Of
sour milk has its habitat, never know
how old they are. They all look to be
100 or more. but are more likely TO
be 90. They lead hard. outdoor work
ing lives. and " they don't happen 10
be killed IN war they have. In middle
life. the appearance OF extreme old
age. II you ask them II they are 100
they'll say yes. Probably they feel
that way.
The fact Is life In tho Balkans Isn't
longer than elsewhere. and b. more
likely TO be shorter. Another fact Be-
hat sour milk Is n principal food
there because other foods are scarce.
But anyway. the our milk story b. a.
delightful story and we hope To see
II again.

EXTENSION WORK

EARM extension work; taking practical education to the farmer
has passed through four definite periods Of development within
the memory Of most Of u.s. There was the county fair with its
prizes and best yields Then came farmers institutes, spreading
book knowledge Third came the travelling agricultural school, such
as a number Of enterprking railroads financed a decade ago, when
they realized that an educated farmer furnished more freight than an
iguoramus Just now we are in the period of the county farm agent,
home demonstration and boys and girls clubs; the most useful de-
velopment thus far. ffoN
& There Is TO be another period now; according to c. W. Pugsley,
assistant secretary Of agriculture. This will be the period in which
the Efforts Of the department of agriculture will concentrate ON a
more well-balanced production of crops, more direct distribution TO
extension Of farm extension work promises to make all the rest bear
fruit.

eoking coal burned in various ways without any attempt being made
TO recover the byproduets. Ammonium sulphate supplies the soil
with nitrogen, one of the three gases necessary for crop production.
According TO the federal census figures, New Mexico had LII.
224 acres Of land under cultivation January /, 1920. This is a in
crease from l,467,l9l IN 1903. During that period, however. the value
of New Mexicos crop increased from $~s,6l9,s02 to ~$4O6l9634 while
its expenditures for commercial fertilizer ran M from sos 37l 10
$ll34s3.
For many years nitrates for fertilizer were obtained from Chile
Later, modern science evolved a method of obtaining nitrogen from
the air. The method was first used commercially in Germany during
the war and that country is now producing large quantities of atmos
pherc nitrogen. Some atmospheric nitrogen is now beinv produeed
in this country, but coal is still our main reliance.
