Noeales can never hope to become

eation. such as a milk condensery'

= few others. The future growth

ransion Of those basic factories
mines and farms-and man
huilding, utilizing this wonder
ful climate. The vegetable IN
dustry Of the West Coast Of Mex-
eco is now and will continue to be
very important to Nogales. The
mines of Sonora in former years
gave 20 Nogales large volume OF
Hnsiness and It may be expected
lat this situation Will again be
eekablished.
Mining In Santa Cruz County
Aen or fifteen years ago created
much business for the mercantile

Por several years past, the cat

been IA q very bad way, but the

ThROu9h the introduction Of the

a decided advance. The great
drawback 70 he growth Of agri-
culture IN Santa Cruz County has
been the enforced idleness Of the
lands on the Baca Float for a
number Of years past, but there
h good reason TO believe that the
near future will see the sub-divis-

flux of real farmers into this

proves the success that the outlook

derful climate and facilities are
commencing to be provided for
those who wish to enjoy this en-
yigorating, healthful and comfort
able year around climate. Good
roads have been a large factor IN
opening up an opportunity for the
"tourist industry" in Ambos No
gales and in Santa Cruz County.
The establishment of the Circle
z guest ranch is but the enter
ing wedge to large development
plans for selling the climate.
Other tourist resorts will be es-
tablished; the new Montezuna
Hotel will be but a forerunner OF
larger and better hotels to meet
the influx Of tourists visiting this
section; "man-building" sanitari-
ums are sure to come.
The completion Of the South
ern Pacific Of Mexico line 10 the
City of Mexico viii cause thous-
ands Of tourists to pour through
this city, most Of whom will stop
over here provided the proper IA
cilities are made available. There
win be a tremendous increase in
freight traffic through this port
and since every railroad freight
car that crosses the line pays a
toll to this city In the way Of bro
kerage charges and labor ranging
from $14.oo to $1,000 a car,
this greatly increased freight traf-

Some fear that the opening OF

disadvantage Of Nogales- Some
business Of course win be divert

consideration that the purchasing

what are they to do? Lack OF
these necessary elements causes not
only a big drop in egg yield but
lowered vitality that makes all the
poultry subject to sickness and dis
ease.
Some poultry men supply the ami

AS this is often made from scraps
and refuse that are too ripe. disa-

to the eggs or the flesh of the hens
that eat it. Then too. meat meal has
to be mixed with other food and this
takes considerable time.
When cut bone is fed you can be
sure that it is always fresh. The bone
can be secured at reasonable cost
from your butcher each day and
ground in a good bone cutter in no
time at all. The meat. gristle, oil, fat
fine bone and graduated bone result

needed for producing eggs, bone and
flesh The sharp hard pieces of
ground bone act as grit. The fine
bone helps to make the egg shell.
and the other half or two thirds of
the cut bone is rich nourishing food,
forming the feather and flesh of the
fowl and the interior of the egg.

Indians i'm L. S.
School Being Made
Into Good Farmers

Chilocco, Okla, Jan. 22.-(AFD-
Indian aversion to agricultural work
is based on lack of confidence, not Ia
ziness, concludes Clyde NJ. Blair. SUI
perintendent of the United States In

The theory that Indians cannot be
good farmers has been disproved, he
adds, by the successful resultsA OBJ
tanned by students who have operated
farm projects for the last three years.
Not all Oklahoma Indians are in
the favored class that rides in expen-
sive automobiles and enjoys other lux
uries afforded by leases on rich oil and
mining properties Mr.. Blair says.
"A majority of the youths who at
tend school here are from the poorer
tribes. and most of the boy farmers
are dependent upon their own re-
sources for expense money.
Nearly all of the students. however,
have allotments of farm land. They
are being taught farm management SO
they may know what to do with their
own land after they leave school, and
that they may act as economic mis-
sionaries to their people"
Twenty three farm projects, averag-
ing 20 acres EACH were conducted by
Indian boys during the last year. on

year and 2 the second.

All students at the school spend half

Blair continues. This lack of conn

State have co-operated with the En-
tension service of the University OF
Maine in collecting financial DATA
from their farms. The account DOCKS
have been summarized and some very
interesting Facts have been 1ouhd III
the results.
The question whether Maine
farms pay or not is beng brought
I'D in these meetings and discussed.
The reason why some farms pay bet
ter than others is being explained
using practical figures obtained in
Knox and Lincoln Counties.
There are also figures from the
noultry plants of the State showing
Vhv some focks have a larger labor
return than others.
NJ. d. Jones, farm management

Union, North Edgecomb and Dresden
meetings held this month. Mr.. Jones
has spent several Years SUMMARY :

on Farm Management problems.
Several important bulletins have
been published by him. the latest and
most valuable one to poultry men is

! have been Il club member for three
years and enjoy it ve"y much Peo-
pie may wonder Just why girls be-
long to dairy clubs but there were
not girls enough in our community to
start a girls sewing or cooking club
so our county agent suggested the
calf club for both boys and girls. The
boys did not object to having the
girls so another girl and myself
Joined. We bought our calves and
started with them all about the same
age. two years ago. One night we
met with the county agent and talked
things over. At our next meeting we
elected our officers and chose my
father, Clyde Luce as our local lead
er. We all purchased a pure bred
Jersey calf and started our club work.
There We're two boys that belonged in
another club but wished to come into
this club and also a girl. That made
us eight members in all. We held our
meetings once A month and at those
meetings we had good times as well
as our work. I was the secretary
and did not miss a meeting our first
year.
At the annual county contest our
club received a charter which we
were very proud of. As the time for
our county fair drew near nv calf re-
fused to eat well and lost flesh but
she went to the fair and was ex-
hibited along with the others. Need
less to say l got beaten. However. |
knew very well that the Judge had
made no mistake and took my defeat
cheerfully but made a secret reso-
luton to try to win next time
When 1t came time for our reor-
ganization meeting we elected the
same officers as the year before. One
member dropped out because her folks
were going to move away. There were
five boys and another girl and my
self. That year ! attended every
meeting. At our annual county con-
test we received our seal which made
Us feel quite proud because it was
only our second year of club work
That year at the county fair Kings
Fair Louise was placed first which
pleased me very much
Each year we have finished 1907

were very interesting to the people of

Spread Manure in Winter

1T costs a farmer SIC on every ton
Of manure he allows to accumulate
outdoors in the barnyard." A 21-year
test at the Ohio station proves this
That is why it pays to haul manure
directly from the stable to the field,
even in winter. Of course. I would
not spread manure on rolling land or
side hills where it will wash away,
and it always pays to use plenty of alb
sorbent so that none of the LIQUID
manure may be lost. Nitrogen is
voided only in the urine and nitrogen
is the most costly element of plant
food.
In the Ohio experience over 81
years, manure applied directly to the
land produced a yearly average per
acre of four more bushels Ct corn two
bushels more of wheat. and 523 more
pounds of hay than was obtained
from manure left in pile in the
barnyard for three months before it
was spread.

standards or guides showing actual

farmers who desire to use them. 1t
is also possible to organize farm

and with the help of the College Of
Agriculture to develop community

farms are doing, when handled in

less successful farmers the weak
spots in the business management
OF their farms.
The farmer who keeps careful
record of the factors relating to the
business management OF his farm Is
In position to compare his farm with
the average and with the best In the
volume of business, as number Of
acres, total investment. number Of
cows, total receipts and total ex-
penses. He can check on his diver
sity OF income by comparing his in
come from sale OF cows. sale OF live
stock, livestock products and sales
from miscellaneous sources. His
quality OF business can be studied
by comparing such items as income
per acre or income per COW. etc.
By such process the farmer Is
in position to make his records talk
to him and point out the weak and
the strong features in his farm op-

pay today that compares with the
tax we pay for our ignorance. This
Is true on the farm as elsewhere
