THE STATE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
ENDORSES DAVIS MOUNTAIN PARK
BARSTOW RECEIVES
FIRST BALE
Ward County’s first hale of 1922
cotton came in Monday, and was gin-
ned free by the Farmers Gin Com-
pany.
Th“ cotton was grown by Sefemio
Martinez, a Mexican tenant on
one of the farms of the Hillside Land
& Irrigation Co. The bale weighed
473 pounds, and was bought by the
Barstow Cotton Company, which net-
ted the owner $104.06, or 22 cents
per pound, including premuim.
Continued dry weather and a
shortage of irrigation water has me-
terially affected the cotton crop in
the valley and the yield will be much
shorter than was expected. Picking
is getting under way, and all gin
plants will be running on full time
next week. It is expected that the
majority of the crop will be out in
sixty days. —Ward County News.

Completed Federal-aid roads now total

struction and approximately 60 per cent

There is no indication of any slacken
ing of the greatly increased rate of progress
which began with the season of 1921 as
the States continue to pour hi plana lor
new projects and place them under con-
struction as rapidly as ponible. Nearly
twelve and one-half million dollars was ob-
ligated to ne£ projects in June and July
and in toe week ending August 5 reports
were received of too letting of 68 new
projects and announcements of 57 te be let.
At toe preseat time the force of tire bu-

tion of roads under construction and toe

tem which is being gotten into final shape.
H. A. Colbert of Walnut Kidge
Arkansas, ia here on a visit to Mr.
and Mrs. B. G. Smith. Mr. Colbert
and the Smiths were neighbors be-
fore the latter came went. Mr. Col-
bert states that they do not know
any such animal as complete failure
of crops in his section of the coun-
try. The lightest crop he ever raised
during his nearly fifty years of
residence on the same place was
eighteen bushels of co^n to the acre,
besides they raise everything else
needed to keep the wolf from the
door. Mr. Colbert and daughter are
on their return trip home from a
visit to a daughter in El Paso whom
drawn its loan to the cotton assoc-
iations, where do you suppose the
price of cotton would fall to?
“Our main work is to stabilize
prices so that they will not slump
when cotton or any other commodity
is dumped on the market, the supply
is greater than the demand and the
bottom falls out of prices. The bus-
iness of the Farm Bureau is to sell
gradually—feed it to the consumer
as he can use it—make the supply
just satisfy the demand. This puts
a stop to Hie dumping It puts a
stop to the break in prices. It keep?
prices high. The present high price?
jfor cotton in my opinion are due
largely to toe $57,500,000 which h*s
been granted to the South to sell
its cotton gradually and to the fact
that the Southern farmers have pool-
ed nearly 3,000,000 bales to market
in orderly manner.
“If the cotton marketing associa-
tions fail, then we can expect toe
price of cotton to fall back down to
the old levels. The associations must
not fail. Every broad n inded farm-
er who stops to think will see the
reason why the associations must
not fail.**

money. It takes some people a good
while to learn that the money spent
in a newspaper would infinetiy bring
better returns.
This country is filled to the brim
with smooth young men who do noth-
ing but think up publicity schemes.
Once they have framed a catchy one
they beat it to the smaller towns to
“unload** on the merchant who be-
lieves that any kind of advertising
is good advertising, and who thinks
that novelties and time cards, and
stock booklets with his name upon
them are actually business getters.
These young men don’t ply their
trade so much in the large cities, be-
cause there is usually a commercial
club or a board of trade ruling
against just the sort of thing they
seek to dispose of. But in towns
where every merchant has to think
out his own plan of advertising, and
where he hasn’t tried to understand
the inside workings of these fly-by-
night schemes, the waste of good
money goes right on. And the fun-
niest part of it is that the merchant
who bites actually pays cash in ad
vance and takes the smooth young
stranger’s word for it that he is go-
ing to get more than his money’s
worth.
We are strong for every kind of
advertising that will pay the nan
who advertises, but we detest fakes.
That is why we spend a good deal of
time regretting that some merchants
can’t see what succesful merchants
long ago learned—that of all forms
of advertising known to man—noth-
ing has yet been found as goow as
space in the home paper—The Min
den (Neb.) Courier.

THE TOY4JI.BEIJL WELL ^
B. Ramsey w?is in town yesterday
and returned to the well with a new
brass cylinder which they are install-
ing in the pump today. They have
been having considerable trouble
with the iron cylinder which wears
out the leathers too trecpjently te
make much headway. Mr. Ramsey
hopes with the new cylinder to re-
duce this trouble to a uucifzmni* and
believes he will get anywhere from
one to three hundred barrels of ofi
per day from tiiis well when he has
it well under way. In drawing tire

drillers feel so confident of bring-

oughby that thoy will continue drill-
ing regardless of wages.
Less than fourteen thousand dol-
lars have been spent thu« far in the
development of toe company’s three
thousand acre drilling block which
is no doubt by far the smallest sum
spent for like development and with
the bringing in of an oil well it is
easily seen that those who are for-
