SELLING FARM PRODUCTS

The agricultural colleges are getting
around to teaching salesmanship. Ger
tainly if there is anybody who is in need
of a sales system it is the farmer. He is
forced to buy at the top of the retail
market and sell at the lowest wholesale
figure. The last two years have been
discouraging ones for many farmers, and
any movement to make their work more
remunerative will be welcomed.
Here of late years we have heard so
much about improved farm methods that
sometimes we really wonder how Grand
pa ever managed to get along. Well,
Grandpa was pretty well used up when it
came time to turn over the farm to his
sons, and i'll many cases the sons didn't
care whoop about farming, and sold out
their interests and went to the city.
The city profited by the fresh energy
of these farm lads of generation ago.
but the farm lost. Farmers now are
learning that they must organize if they
are going to keep abreast of the compe-
tition of modern days Farm bureaus are
splendid indication of how we'll that
question has been learned. You may
have been told by some city folks that
the farmers are slow, but maybe you've
noticed that they've taken hold of all the
new ideas that have come along in the
last 20 years, developed them and made
them successful.
Cotton farmers in several Mississippi
counties learned to realize eight to ten
cents more pound on their product by
organization. The citrous fruit growers
of the west coast have learned the secret
of salesmanship. Pass it along, boys.
II the agricultural colleges are going to
teach the farmer to be salesman, first of
all they'll have to realize that the farmers
already know a 'leetle" something about
that themselves, and second, they'll have
to be practical, and not dose the farmers
with too much theory

AN INTERESTING QUESTION

BY far one of the most interesting sug-
gestions in the Presidents message to
Congress is contained in the recommends
ton of a study by Congress of the vide
spread difference between production
costs and prices to consumers.
Perhaps the greatest difficulty which
will be encountered in such an inquiry
will be to determine a starting point.
While man has always been subject to
fundamental economic laws, particularly
the law of supply and demand, yet under
our highly specialized system Of pro-
duction even that law is falling under
the control of the producing forces so
that prices are no longer determined by
the available supply, but by the artificial
curtailment of that supply as it is made
to conform to the prevailing demand.
Thus, while in theory and according to all
established economic doctrine, increased
production should result in lowered costs
and a corresponding reduction in price to
face of a production adequate to meet
any demand today both costs and prices
continue to ascend.
The result is that we are continually
going around in a circle; the householder
and all who provide him with the neces-
sary commodities of life chasing each
other around in a vain effort to catch up
with each other.
Just how far Congress will succeed in
arresting the upward movement in pro-
duction costs and the steadily declining
value of the dollar is a question which
sooner or later must be answered. Ger
tainly Congress cannot answer it finally.
Its ramifications are so far reaching as
to require the most expert and scientific
investigation and for that reason the
most that Congress may be able to ac-
complish will be the appointment of
commission to study the means and
methods of production and their relation
to prices.
Albuquerque morning journal., 1922-12-14

Arthur Conan Doyle set the country buzz
zing once more over the old question OF
survival after death, and the return to
earth of ghostly visitors. Certainly the
.uuestion is yet far from solution, but the
pursuit of scientific methods in attempt
ing to solve it seems much more reason
able than categorical acceptance or cate
gorical denial.
It is the aura that is to be studied at
Leeds. A dim outline of light is to be
seen about the human frame under cer-
tain lighting conditions. Whether this is
an optical illusion remains to be proved.
According to those who think it is a
spiritual emanation, the aura should be
pink for one in good health. Varying
colors reflect varying moods and states
of spiritual being, and these in turn are
said to have their effect upon physical
health and mental habits.
If the Leeds experimenters find out
anything new about us, body and soul,
their addition to our knowledge will be
welcome. The world waits with sus-
pended judgment, to learn that ghosts
are anything but the painting of our
fear"

CITY UTILITIES
Light Plant Runs "a Hours
a Day; Sewer System to
Be Installed at Once;
Water Works Improved


| Artesia, n. NJ, Dec. 19.--The
new municipal electric light plant
at Artesia is now running on a "a
hour service schedule. This is the
first time that the town has been
favored with such service for sew
eral yearsS The city is now owner
Of the, plant, which was formerly
under the management of the Pc
cos Valley Gas and Electric conf
pany. The old site was purchased
from the company and new engines
purchased, with a total cost Of
over $50, 000, The engines, $500
horse power, which have a Ca
pacity of 1856 X. w. per hour, are
Of the best type that could be pur-
chased The management Of the
municipal light plant has been
placed under the department OF
water and light. George Frisch
has been selected as the head of
this department.. Business houses,
which have been forced to rely
on gasoline engines for power dur
Ing the past few years, are being
equipped with electrical appli-
ances. Several thousand dollars
has been spent in repairing the
electric wire lines and putting in
new wires.
The contract for the new sewer
age system is expected to be let
in the near future. The bonds for
$4,000, which were recently voted
by the citizens, have been sold
and the money available. This
sewerage system is a great need
to the town. r.
West Main street and Grand ave-
nue. and RoselaWn avenue, which
are the principal streets of the
town, have been put in excellent
shape. Other streets will be i'm
proved as soon as possible, accord
ing to Street Manager Bradshaw.
The city council also has voted to
spend $4,000 in increasing the city
water works. New main pipe lines
will be laid and other improvements
made before the summer months.
At a recent banquet at Hotel
Hardwicl. under the supervision
of the chamber of commerce,
many enthusiastic citizens were in
attendance. City Councilman G. Il.
IddHH Was lIIe tOdSLtttdStCIs 1lttel-
osting addresses were made by
Messrs. Daugherty Of Phoenix.
Ariz.: s. Daughty, of Roswell; and
Mr.. Briggs, who has been assisting
the electric light plant manager

banquet. radio concert by i. j.
Evans was enjoyed by all present.
The chamber OF commerce and
the city council are cooperating
in making the needed improve
ments for the town.
