What do you think of the ordinance

THE ANSWERS.

George E. Cobbe-"The ordinance
prohibiting the playing of baseball in
the city parks on Sunday is unjust.
Many people do not have an oppor
tunity to play baseball or to watch a
game of baseball on week days. Base
ball is a good clean game and as far
as I can see IN no way violates the
sanctity of the Lords day..

CURRY COUNTY FARMS
HAVE SOAKING RAIN
With $3.50 Additional Acreage Under
Cultivation, Moisture Assures
Good Grain Crop.


Curry County, with a record break
ing crop year just closed, is looking
forward to at least yield of 1870
of last years production, following
the gentle downpour of rain that fell
throughout the county during the
week end.
Crop conditions now are 1909 bet
ter that they were week ago. Wheat
that had been given up as lost on ac-
count of the drouth, will now make,
according to the most conservative
estimates, from fifteen to eighteen
bushels per acre.
The rainfall came just in time to
put the ground in good shape for
planting row crops, and it is probable
that maize, kaffir and other small
grain crops will be as good as last
year,
Last year nearly four million bush
els of grain Of all kinds were pro-
duced, with less than ten per cent Of
the tillable land under cultivation.
However, with the popularity of
the tractor, breaking sod is a much
faster job than it used to be, and this
spring these "iron mules" have been
at work in every community turning
sod for additional acreage
II is estimated that 35c, additional
acreage is now under cultivation over
any other previous year.
Curry County, during the year Of
1920, produced crops to the total
valuation of S3,975,S72, as compared
to 81 millions as II total state pro-
duction. Curry County ranked sec
ond n total acreage under cultivation.
It was exceeded only by Union coun-
ty, which has 235, 900 acres of land in
cultivation, but has a total area three
times greater than that of Curry
County.
The leading crops in Curry county
in 1920 were grain sorghums, with an
acreage of 1886 acres valued at
81 ,912,l57. Winter wheat came sec
ond with an acreage of 56,0S0 acres,
valued at $1,256,l92. Corn was
third, having 1854 acres, valued at
$5S,6lS. According to the report of
the agricultural statistician of New
Mexico, Curry County had eleven
hundred farmers in 1920, with an av-
erage of las acres per farm in cult
walton.

MEMBERSHIP DRIVE
To END NEXT WEEK
Campaign Teams Plan to Bring Mem
bership to 800 Mark; Fund Of
$4,000 Has Been Raised.

Confident Of putting the member
ship Of the reorganized Clovis Cham
ber of Commerce over the 800 goal
in final Cleanup" next week, the
team organization which has already
secured 27l members for the Cham
ber is "laying off" in order to get
caught up on personal business and
to attend Chautauqua this week. The
organization will be called together
for one more mornings work which
will end the drive for membership.
Several score Of likely prospects have
not yet been seen and the workers
feel sure of making the goal set.
Usually these drives last five
days" said Campaign Director Mowat
this morning, "but we believe that if
we can get the whole gang out for
one more big effort, we will go well
over our goal. The trade excursion
and Chautauqua have taken away
considerable impetus from the cam
paign but the four majors and myself
feel confident that the workers will
respond for a final effort after they
have got caught up on their own
affairs. The showing made in the
face of the most discouraging out
look prior to the recent showers
stands as a monument to the spirit OF
Clovis. You can't stop town that
goes out and raises over $4,000 fol
its Chamber of Commerce with such
a gloomy outlook as existed before
the rains came"
The service fund is now lowering
near the $4,000 mark and will &C
well over that when several firms
which still have their subscriptions
under consideration have been hearC
from. With the present membership
the total income already assured fol
the Chamber is over $4,000.
