my meals, or could slip down the
back stairs to the kitchen.
After while it all blew over and
went back to the saloon. Walter
Cooper had never been friendly with

have soaked in. Anyway, one day he

Montana Wheat King and
Financier Is Going in for
Farming in NewtMexico

A Montana wheat king" and a New
York industrialist and financier,
Thomas D. Campbell and John J. Ras-
kob, have formed a partnership to con-
duct large-scale farming in New Mexico
They already own $4,000 acres, which
they bought last May-the La Joya
grant in Socorro county, the title of
which dates from the 10Th century
Spanish conquest-and last week they
took an option on the 70,O00-acre Belen
grant in adjoining Valencia county.
With $4,000 acres, they are among
the states largest landholders.
Sitting in his office on the Both floor
of the Empire State building-in which
he and Pierre S. Du Pont, his one
time employer and business associate
for many years, are heavily interested
-Rascob discussed his partnership re-
Gently:
Il don't know anything about farm
ing, but Mr.. Campbell knows enough
for both of us I like the southwest and
for long time have wanted to own
q large tract of land which could, with
irrigation and scientific farming, be
turned into useful production.
The price Of the La Joya grant, Ras-
cob said, was under 81 an acre."
"But we will spend very much more
than the purchase price in the next
few years." he added, "in irrigation
and soil development"
Campbell, who has long been known
as the Montana wheat king and who
was retained by the Soviet government
In the agricultural development under
the first five-year plan, win be In
charge Of farming operations for the
partnership.
There's been a story going around
for some months" Raskob said, that
I intended to make my home in either
New Mexico, or Nevada, or Arizona, and
try to get into the senate from one Of
those states. The stories are perfectly
ridiculous and absolutely untrue"
Raskob, however, likes the southwest
and spends considerable time there.

committee and won him nickname
which he carried for years.
OF the entire herd Joe had a bill Of
sale for only one horse, a fine saddle
animal of his own. I'VE had never
thought of such a thing as a bill OF
sale for the kind Of horses I brought
from California" he says.
After selling the horses Joe went
into partnership with Sy Mounts in
the Cayuse saloon and gambling house
in Bozeman. and began to prosper. AT
that time Bozeman had accumulated a
bunch of tough characters, and the
Vigilance committee got busy. 1t be-
came rumored about that Joe had no
bill of sale for the horses he had sold
in the valley. So he was included with
the undeSirables by the Vigilantes Joe
lived in room No. Is at the Clede hotel.
One morning he arose to find "3-7-7T'
on his door and three envelopes slipped
under 1t with similar messages. He
knew that meant leave town or face
the consequences He also knew he had
done nothing wrong but, being new
conner, the unusual transaction in
horses did look rather suspicious.
They called me Joe Keeney, the
horse thief" he says, "and the name
stuck for years. But, hell never stole
horse in my life"

GOATS ARE GOOD
MILK PRODUCERS
CONRAD FARMERS ARE TAKING
ON NEW MILK IN
DUSTRY

The Conrad section is taking on
a new industry with the raising of
goats for milk production. In this
neighborhoOd alone at least 40 milk
goats are owned by that many FAM
lilies.
A goat produces about gallon and
one-half of milk a day, and, according
to their owners, the milk is richer and
more palatable than COW milk, and it
has been found that the cost Of feed
for the average milk producing goat
is only about one-third of that needed
for the average mich COW.
Undernourished children have found
that goat milk has proved vital aid
in body building. These goats are not
all Of one type, but are number of
different breeds, some being Of the
Swiss strain.
There is no danger of the goat get
ting any advantage over the milk COW,
but many millions that cannot afford
a COW get good results from having
one or two goats, especially where there
are little children who require a highly
nutritious element, 1t is said.
