j. 6. LABORATORY
HERE WILL MOVE
To DENVER OCT. |

The chief experimental labora-
tory for the United States biologi-
cal survey, which has been located
in Albuquerque for more than six
years, will be moved to Denver on
October |. it was announced yes
terday by officials of the survey.
Better opportunities for the pur-
chase of materials was given as the
principal reason for the change of
loca ton.
The laboratory here has been in
charge of Stanley e. Piper and
Hugh E. Williams, who have
worked out in this laboratory most
Of the formulas now in use in ro-
dent and predatory animal destruc-
ton. The laboratory is the only
one in the country engaged in re-
search work for the biological sur
vey, and is constantly engaged in
working out new poison processes
or the perfection or existing ones.
The change of location was di-
rected by Washington officials of
the survey, VINO believed that the
laboratory would be in a more CEN
trail location for experimental work
in the bureaus filed of operations.
A still more potent reason for the
change was the fact that poison
materials and drugs more or less
uncommon could be obtained more
readily in Denver than in Albu-
querque.
Mr.. Piper and Mr.. Williams were
notified of the change about the
first of the month. but the infor-
nation was not made public until

although were are sorry to see
him leave US, he will go to larger
business folds"
Two years ago Mr.. Watkins
came to Albuquerque, having been
unanimously selected from a list
Of applicants, particularly for his
record in civic work, which was
heartily endorsed by some of the
most prominent men in the east.
Arriving here and diagnosing the
local situation, he decided that the
chief and foremost needs of AL
buquerque and New Mexico as q
stepping stone or foundation to
prosperity was to bring the peo-
pie here. Greatly handicapped by
lack of funds for publicity pur-
poses, Mr.. Watkins was forced to
resort to his own personal ingenui-
ty to devise ways and means to get
Albuquerque and New Mexico in
the lime light under favorable
auspices.

name as a convention city. The
meeting of trains at the Santa Fe
station and the interest compelling
reception accorded them have
caused the registering of interest
in the city which would not have
been but for a live wideawake
of commerce. New Mex
ico's first Harvest festival and
Open-to-the World Corn show have
also been pointed out as achieve
ments of moment by the chamber
of commerce under the direction
and supervision of Mr.. Watkins.
This year rounds out ten years
of experience in civic work for Mr..
Watkins and he has been particu-
larly fortunate in the fact that his
work has thrown him in contact
with the larger organizations there
by giving him a wide range of ex-
perience.

kins stated that he had received
several tempting offers in his par
ticular line of activity. but that he
had not yet decided which one to
accept.

FAULTY SPEED0METER
RESULTS IN ARREST

"How many motorists test their
speedometers to see If they are ac-
curate?"
Police venture the opinion that
not one in ten owners take this
precaution-but nevertheless, the
remaining nine depend on their
speedometers to keep their cars
within the speed ordinance of the
city.
Arthur Sisk was arrested yester-
day on a charge Of speeding in the
city at rate of "a miles an hour.
He stated to the court that he had
been watching his speedometer
carefully and that at the time of
his arrest he was going just 20
miles an hour.
A test was decided upon. Motor
cycle Policeman Carter, whose
speedometer is tested every few
days, and Sisk started out to-
gether. When the tested speedom-
eter on the motorcycle registered
IS miles an hour. the speedometer
on Sisk's machine only registered
Is miles an hour.
A $40 fine was handed to Sisk,
and then suspended, Whether such
suspensions in similar cases will be
the rule at police court is doubtful
and Judge Mcclellan intimated
that they could not be relied upon.

FARMING LANDS
ARR: OPENED To
SERVICE MEN
About 10000 Acres of
Land Included in North
Platte and ShoShone Pro-
ject Openings.

On September g. 222 farms will
be opened to homestead entry by
4 folders of the world war, on the
North Platte irrigation project, IN
: Wyoming, and one week later, Sep
.ember 16, fifty-seven farms will

one project in the same state About
10000 acres of land are included
4 In the two openings For sixty days
no one but soldiers of the world
war will be permitted to make fill
lngs on these farms.
1 A decade ago the lands now in
cluded in the North Platte project
were a vast range occupied by
nomadic herds of cattle, but ma
/ tional reclamation has wrought a
marvellous change in that section.
The landscape is now dotted with
hundreds of prosperous farm homes
and a hundred thousand acres are
producing valuable crops of alfal-
ia, sugar beets, corn and potatoes.
Numerous towns have been estab-
lished and railroads have extended
their branches to connect the val
ley with the country's great mark
cts. Dairying has become a profit
able industry. More than $4,5OO,-
600 worth of crops were produced
on the project in 1920.
The Shoshone project, in the
northwestern part of the state, lies
in a region of great scenic beauty,
and has a delightful and healthful
climate and fertile soil. Like the
North Platte project it has trans
formed the desert into a thickly
populated and highly productive
agricultural section. 1t is fine
dairy country, has a creamery and
: alfalfa meal mill. 1t is devoted to
general farming.
Soldiers who are interested in
the land are invited to investigate
the opportunities offered by these
openings. Detailed information
concerning the farms and the
method of obtaining them may be
secured by writing the project
manager, U. S. r. s., Mitchell, Neb.,
about the North Platte project, to
the project manager, Powell,
Wyoming, concerning the Shoshone
opening, or to the U. S. reclama-
ton service, Washington, D. C.
