Albuquerque, n. M,
May 3. 1921.
Editor Morning Journal:
Dear Sir:-You have accom-
plishcd great deal, through the
columns OF your wonderful paper,
in advertising New MtXico's health
climate.
Albuquerque, we believe, has an
ideal climate and much has been
done to advertise it rs health
vicinity. School nurses have been
employed, restaurants, ice cream
parlors, etc, inspected and report
ed upon regularly, which is very
commendable, ana all done to pro-
mote 4 healthy and sanitary COM
munity.
But some of our public highways
are sadly neglected. On East Cop
per avenue, between Walter and
High streets Zone block north of
East Central avenue), there is an
arroyo, and in this arroyo there
exists the most unsanitary ana
filthy condition Imaginable. To
tho writer's knowledge, this arroyo
has not been cleaned out for years.
The high winds and floods have
carried debris and tin cans down
the arroyo and are lodged here,
which gives it the appearance of a
public dumping ground, and the
people are using it for that pur-
pose. The slightest rain fills these
empty cans with water, which, be-
coming stagnant, attracts flies,
mosquitoes and creates a very I'M
sanitary condition.
On April % tho writer reported
to the city managers office the
condition of this arroyo. The

Week Begins Cold But Fa-
vorabIe Warm Weather
Follows; Rain Is Badly
Needed Over State.

New Mexico crops are re-
covering from the recent freea-
es through few days Of
warm weather but rain is
urgently needed in most sections,
according to the weekly report on
crop conditions by the United
States weather bureau office at
Santa Fe. The report follows:
The week began cold, continuing
in northern counties, but gradually
warmed up, becoming favorable
but for the dryness. Rains are ur-
gently needed, especially in much
of the southeast and south parts of
the state. Range is poor in many
southern districts, but fair and
slowly improving in northern.
Mich stock is thin and some loss
es are reported from extreme south
and southeast counties, with ship
ment to better range Alfalfa,
small grain and gardens are slowly
recovering from the freeze. and
general farming, blowing, discing
and corn planting are active, dry
ness retarding the work in some
central and eastern districts. Light
crop of apples still appears, also
some plums, pear and cherries, but
few peaches and no apricots.
Grapes even will be light.
Springer: Fruit in any degree
open has been killed and alfalfa,
which was growing nicely, was
frozen to the ground.

April.
Pearl: Dry and cold; no farm

Bloomfield: Cold and very
windy. Practically all fruit frozen,
from present outlook. Farmers
planting and irrigating; potatoes

apple blossoms frozen, but alfalfa

has become so valuable that a

Several years ago a department
store wished to buy the corner
plot, having procured the land on
both sides as the site Of a sky
scraper. But the owner would not
SELL even for 100000. and the
big store had to erect its home
around the small building.
A four-stOry structure housing
on the ground floor a busy cigar
store, still remains on the valuable
corner lot, on all sides lofty build
ings rear their bulks of steel and
stone. The new lessee, who will
pay Pbgp'NsNOV IOl ltlA, NdlNtc anu
other expenses over a twenty-one
year period, plans to erect a mar
row skyscraper on the triangular
plot. A candy-making corporation
will occupy the building.
Twenty years ago Robert S.

startled realty men by paying
$3S7,000 for the land. which has
only 1850 square feet of area He
had come to America with $5.15
from his native Russia in 1880,
When he bought the property he
was told such a small strip was not
worth the price and could never
be profitable.
Within a few hours after the $9,-
100000 lease was drawn up. an
other candy concern offered S10,-.

Editor Morning journal:
Dear Sir:--The dairymen say
there has been no reduction in the
principal items entering into the
production and distribution Of
milk.
Grain is certainly a big item,
and it has gone way down. Alfalfa
Is another and it was down to SIS
last summer. When alfalfa was
low we asked for reduction in
milk and they told US grain was
too high.
Have we got to wait until grain,
alfalfa, glass bottles, tin cans, sun
dries and labor all slide down in
unison before we can buy a quart
of milk for less than 20 cents?
They say conditions of food
supply and prices In this valley are
distinctly different from any other
section of the United States"
There must be some big differ
encc. Albuquerque is the only city
oi its size in the United States with
milk selling ut 20 cents n quart.
At Hutchinson, Kans., it is 80 cents
q gallon,
In the letter written by Mr. Lou
con no says; The dairyman Of
yesterday could tie a bale OF hay
on his pump handle. seal the re-
sulting pSoduct and get away with
it. The dairyman must have a
modern barn with cement floors"
| am not prepared to question
the baled hay ON pump handle.
AR. Loudon may know more about
that, but it is certain that cement
floors, barns and sanitary condi-
tons were here when milk was

OUR TEST FOR GREATNESS.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Did you ever stop to think how easy it is and how some of us are inclined to dump our feelings or our troubles on some one else Some of us are chonic Jumpers. Our friends tremble when they see us coming, for they know they will be called on to hear an organ recital or some other woefuI tale. Shifting the blame, "pass- ing the buck" these are most modern methods of the Jumpers.
 Csrelessness over personal responsi- bility that's at the root of the dumping habit desire for personal ease at whatever expense to others; that's the bsne of the present. The man or the woman who can braveIy shoulder his or her burden, carry 1t without complaint or fussing to the end; these are the excep- tions.
 Sometimes we who are mothers start our children in the dumping habit. We chase about after them pick up what they leave, do the hard part of their work for them, in the mistaken idea that we are showing our love. As matter of fact we're simply showing our fool ishness and lack of forethought. They will be here after we are gone-who vii be the dumping ground for their hard ships then?
 None of the worlds great ones have ! been Jumpers. All have cheerfully ] accepted their loads and carried them l Our test for greatness is .he same ~ Cheer up. sisters. and let's meet tn test.
