CATTLE SHIPPED
FROM DRY RANCE
To NORTH TEXAS

Cattle from many of the drouth
stricken sections of the Manzano
national forest and adjacent ter
ritory are being shipped to north
Texas ranges, according to K. C..
Karchner, supervisor of the Man
zano national forest, who return
ed yesterday from a two week
survey of the general situation on
the Manzano forest.
1.-THE excessive drouth Is work
ing a great hardship on many
growers" Supervisor Karchner
reported, land most of the grow
ers who can afford it are ship
ping their cattle to better range
in the hope of saving them"
The cattle are being shipped to
the Texas ranges which were
practically denuded in 1918 when
the drouth forced the owners to
ship their cattle to the New Mex
leo grazing lands which were in
good condition at that time. Since
that shipment. the north Texas
ranges have not been restocked
to any great extent and the range
feed there is now reported to be
in fairly good condition.
Some sections of range land in
the Manzano forest have had
slight rains, but not enough to re-
lieve the situation and the forest
fire danger is not yet over, sew
eral extra guards still being en-
ployed.

up, cattle suffering and irrigation
water becoming scarce in many
districts, as a result of the pro-
longed drouth, it is shown in the
federal weather bureau report for
the week ending Tuesday. The
bulletin says:
"The week was mostly hot,
partly cloudy, dry and unfavor-
able, although scattered showers
occurred, largely in north ana
east counties, but they were in
sufficient and rains are urgently
needed over practically all Of the
state. Crops and range are burn
ing UP in many central and north
dry-lands districts; in others the
growth has been stunted. but in a
fair portion, where aided by
showers, corn, beans, sorghums.
kafirs and range are fair to good.
elsewhere fair to poor, or a fail
ure. On the other hand, in irri-
gated districts the heat and sun
shine have favored rapid growth
and crops are good, corn and cot
ton in southern valleys being es-
pecially favorable. Shipments of
cantaloupes are in full swing, and
pears past the peak, while apple
shipments will soon be under

ket in the south. The third cut
ting of alfalfa is mostly done in
southern valleys and the second
in north. Irrigation water is grad
ually failing, streams are low and
the water supply generally at low

The Ford Motor Company, |
Detroit, has just made pubic q
list of recent improvements IL |
the mechanical features OF t'orG |!
cars.
Asserting that Fo I'd cars are !
better today than they ever hav.
been before, the statement adds |
that fuel consump ticn lower; ths
engine is even more elttlcien,
than formerly; improvements il,
the springs and steering appara
tus insure easier riding and drls-
qualities; a new headlamp lens.
which complies with all state laws
improves the road light; anC
that many other minor bettements
have been made.
Ford pistons and connecting
rods have been re-design and are
| matched for weight before assem-
! bling into motors. This reduces
vibration and gives the motor a
quicker pickup. The new pistons
weigh three-quartefs Of pound
less than those formely used. A
highly polish crank shaft bearing
surface also reduces wear and
added to the piston and connect
ing rod Improvements, insures a
/ smoother-running and better bal
anced motor. The material used
in the Ford crankshaft and the
| care and precision in its manafac
| ture make it second to none.
The new Ford carburetor gives
Increased acceleration. Though
mot radically different from the
carburetor previously used, the
new construction improves the
all-around performance of the mo
tor giving it a quicker pick. up
and a greater flexibility of action.
The wiring system has been
completely re-design. and while
It costs more to install than the
old system. is most efficient,
proof of which is evidence by the
fsct that it affords a fire insur-
aDee rate as low as the higher
priced cc~r on the market. :.
Many other changes have been
made: A Is" steering wheel is
now standard equipment; Tlnken
roller bearings are used in the
front wheel; one-peice. pressed
steel running board brackets in
snre body rigidity and eliminate
Vibration and BODY, noises; a
dash weather trough prevents
rain from reaching coil terminals
or dash wiring: the steering me-
chanism has also been improved;
and the tools supplied to.purchas
ers of Ford cars have also been
improved in quality. Another I'M
portant improvement in the truck
chassis is the adoption of cord
tires as standard equipment or
the rear wheels.
The chance made sometime age
in the seating arrangement o.
the touring car hassnes with wide
spread approval. BY lowering tn
seats and altering the seat back
greater comfort added.
It ispointed out that retail sale
of a million cars and trucks yearl.
and the consumption pf raw am
finished products at cost OF ap
proximately one million dollar
a day makes it possible to Sc
Fords at their present low price
and at the same time to produc
a car of exceptionally high auallt
