NEW MEXICO LIVE STOCK
REPORT FOR OCTOBER

Las Cruces. - The condition of
ranges on Oct. were reported ut an
average for the state of 81 per cent for
cattle and % per cent for sheep. The
condition figures show constant Inn
pr0vement each month during the year,
and for the past month an increase of
points over that of Sept. l, is indi-
Gated With the exception OF few To-
cal areas in the southern and centrals
parts of the state, reports Indicate an
abundance Of winter pasture. Many
localities have excess and more wild
hay is being harvested than for the
past several years. Much of the grass
was not matured when frosted, and its
nutritive value Is consequently poor.
Condition of cattle for the state was
reported at 95 per cent, showing a 10
per cent Improvement for the month.
Cattle Movement-The Cattle Sani-
ary Board reports the September ship
ments at 3S,712 head. During Septem-
Der, 1922, 1t amounted to 52.535, but at
this time the movement to pastures, as
result of the drOuth, had begun. The
average September movement for 1919
1927 was only 22,S00. The heavy
movement in August and September in
spite of abundance of feed, low prices
and light demand, is in part due to
forced liquidation Of loans.
The shipments were destined as fol-
lows: Kansas City, 1862; Texas, s.
695; Denver, 5,545; Wichita, 1894 Il
iinois, 1,462; Omaha, 1903; Los An
geies, 1,179; st. Joe, S55; Iowa, 765;
Oklahoma City, III; Colorado, 1855;
Nebraska, 1858; Interstate, 255; Kan
sas, 1888; Indiana. 1856; Louisiana, 1876;
El Paso, 92; Arizona, 80; Missouri, Al,
and Oklahoma, 1S. 1t Is interesting to
note that about IS per cent were sent
to large market centers. whereas this
amount is only about 81 per cent in
September, 1922. About A per cent
OF the September shipment for this
year went to Kansas City.
Shipments were made from all coun-
ties except Bernalillo, Mckinley, San
doval, San Juan, Sierra, Taos and Ca
tron. Some leading counties were
Roosevelt, 5,769; Quay. 5.G53; Union,
1855; Curry, 1852; De Baca, 1850;
San Miguel. 2,243; Chaves, 2.Os5. and
Lea, 2,O71.
Sheep Movement-The Sheep Sani-
tary Board report the following ship
ments for August: Ewes, 448; weth-
ers, 9S5, and lambs, 452. OF these
Chaves county shipped 1.136 to Mis-
souri, points, and San Miguel sent TAT
to Denver. For September the only
movement reported was from Chaves.
which sent 922 ewes, and 300 lambs to
Colorado points. For nine months this
year the movement is reported at 90
COS ewes; 1,235 wethers, and $3.50
lambs.

is MAKING CAMPAIGN
ON RECORD AND MERITS

jackson, Miss, May 22-The
people Of Brandon and Rankin
County who are following the great
campaign that is being made by
Henry l.. Whitfield in his canvass
for the goternorship, will be glad
to know that he is continuing III
fine trim, physically and vocally,
and thoroughly optimistic in his
outlook. 1t is gratifying to his sup
porters and workers to know that
day by day and week by week
the outlook for his success grows
brighter and more suspicious. Mr.
Whitfield is making this campaign
as he started out to do, on his
record and merits, especially as an
instructor of youth and administra-
tor OF departmental and institution
al affairs, and Is letting the merits,
personalities or dement's of his OPP
ponents entirely alone.
1t is confidently asserted by the
Whitfield Campaign leaders that the
only change in the relative status
of the man from Lowndes in the
gubernatoria race is that he has
grown stronger and more secure i'll
respect and confidence of the people
since the formal campaign opened.
This opinion could be verified, to

TEACHERS MAKE
UP FOR SHORT TERM;
WORK IN SUMMER
Have Classes i'm Elementary Agri-
culture. Organize Girls and Boys
Clubs. To Make Exhibits at
County Fairs.

Thousands Of country schools
with six months term or less closed
in March, the seven months schools
in April and the eight months
schools are closing in May. The
consolidated schools and schools in
country villages where nine months
terms prevail form comparatively
small group. Many wide awake
teachers who are really interested
in the progress of their pupils try
to make up for the short terms
by providing continuation work for
the three to six months vacation.
The wise teacher suggests subject
which will best connect up with
the individual pupils home work.
Useful to most of the boys will be
problems in arithmetic relating to
the farm. such as farm accounting,
land measurement and the weighing
and measuring farm products.
Household problems will be assign
ed to the girls.
Two young women who teach
in adjoining districts in Il Virginia
county have classes in elementary
agriculture. They have organized
in each school IA Boys Corn Club
and Girls Poultry Club. These
clubs are in competition and the
results of this summer work will
be made known at a public meet

MORE READING
MATERIAL NEEDED
IN RURAL SCHOOLS
Children in Rural Districts Are Year
Behind i'm Reading. Supplement-
airy Readers Being Purchased for
Primary Grades. p. T. AS Help.

The State wide school survey
made recently i'm New York State
reveals the fact that children in
the small rural schools are a year
or more behind children in the
city schools in reading achievement.
Surveys made in other states show
like backwardness in reading on
the part of rural children. The
cause is to be found partly in
the lack of adequate reading ma
terial i'm small rural schools. How
bored the average adult would be-
come is he were compelled to spend
an entire year rereading a book that
could easily be read in Il few
hours, Children likewise are bored
when they must spend an entire
school year reading and rereading
the single school primer, first or
second reader provided for them.
Progressive rural boards of edu-
cation are purchasing sets of sup
Elementary readers for primary
grades. Rural school patrons are
raising money so that school Of
ficialS may purchase annually
library books suitable to the needs
of even the smallest children in
the schools. Rural parent teacher
associations are subscribing, Tor
schools. TO standard magazines for
children and youth, such as are
widely recommended by experienced
teachers for supplemental reading.
Such activities on the part OF
board members and school patrons
make available reading maternal
that will enrich the experience OF
rural children, add interest to school
work, and enable them TO learn
TO read more easily.
