Senator Elkins. whose father,
Stephen B. Elkins, represented

years. heartily endorses H. o. Bur-

election will be a. victory for the
people of your state" in letter re-
ceived by Senator Bursum yester-
day.
II have a great interest in the
progress and development of New
Mexico" Senator Elkins stated in
his letter, "and in the welfare of
it's people, due to the fact that my
father, Stephen B. Elkins, as a
young man, cast his lot with your
people. He represented New Mex
leo as it's delegate in the house of
representatives two terms and
served as United States district at
torney.
"It was in New Mexico and due

Fate, in the shape Of adverse
conditions, conspired against the
boys of the Bernalillo County Corn
club and the is boys who planted
their acre of corn under the super
vision of County Agent al Lee Gown ,y .
nolds but five still h.-,;ira .
in the ring for some OF the Morn
ing Journal prizes. The county
agent has felt for some time that
the grade of corn grown In the
middle Rio Grande valley could be
strengthened or changed to a point
where 1t would prove a more pro-
life and profitable crop. The boys
club was formed with the end in
view of teaching the young farmers
the most scientific form Of planting
and cultivating and to increase
their interest in raising this crop
on valley farms.
1t was also intended to be step
forward in the distribution Of bet
ter types of seed corn. The move
ment was fostered by the chamber
of commerce, which donated seed
for the boys from the prize ears
shown here last fall at the opening
Of the world corn show, at which
3S states of the union were repre-
scented. Feeling that the boys
should have some encouragement
in the work and that they should
have something to work for besides
the crop from their acre of land,
the Morning Journal arranged with
the. chamber of commerce and the
county agent to furnish the prizes
when the boys exhibited their corn
this fall.
The corn club created consider
able interest in other counties of
the state and county agents in a
number of sections followed the
example set by Bernalillo county.
Arrangements were made with
the boys parents for the acre of
ground, which. in most cases, was
prepared for planting under the
supervision of County Agent Lee
Reynolds and other experienced
corn growers in each vicinity.
Flood Does Damage.
The first hard luck which
knocked at the door of the club
members was the near-flood down
the valley, which put several of the
boys out of the club in "a 'lours by
washing their young corn out OF
the ground. An overlooking irriga-
ton ditch treated few OF the
others in the same manner. Hard
luck in the way Of under-ircigation
at the start put others out OF the
contest and poorly sproutias seed
and the hail storm treated one or
two the same way.
The acres of corn which re-
manned in ne contest rs possible
rize winners have shown varying
prospects during the summer. Some
that got late or poor start is now
looking fine or fair qni some that
early in the season gave great

DUKE CITY AND
ITS SUNSHINE
NOW IN DEMAND

With the coming of fall weather
inquiries are arriving by the hun
dreds at the chamber of commerce
from all parts of the world regard
ing Albuquerque. its possibilities
and its climate. One mail yester-
day brought 81 such inquiries.
The first thing usually asked
about is, If what the writer has
heard about Albuquerque's wonder
full climate is true. Then usually
comes the question of housing and
rental rates ana the prospects Of
work, of business opportunities In
the city or within easy distance Of
it The chamber of commerce has
for several years made it point to
answer all such inquiries the same
day received.
OF the 81 inquiries in the one
mail yesterday. three were from
other countries than the United
States, one came from Mexico. one
from Canada and one from China,
The letter from China was par
ticularly interesting to Secretary ID.
3. Mckee, through the fact that IT
comes from a person who has had
Albuquerque on his mind as home
for several years. The first inquiry
was received from the writer by
Secretary John Tombs. In 1915.
The next year the writer prepared
to come here. but was prevented.
Later he made similar arrange
ments, which did not materialize,
and now he is about ready to come
all the way from China in order to
1--we in the land of sunshine. He in
quired for the latest information
regarding schools. houses and rem
tails, the price of building lots and
the cost of building various types
of houses, the general rate of inter-
est obtained from invested money,
the opportunity for investment and
the general business conditions.
The letter was mailed from 500
