Encouragemnent will be odered by the Mexican government for tue develop ment of the diamond field in the state of Guerro by private capital, It is au thoritat.vely announced. The existence of diamondls in a mountainous district of that southern state has long been known, but the remoteness of the locals ity and the di'tculty of getting in and out of the district have heretofore pre vented anything being done toward mining dhe gems. It was; more than fifty yearsi ego that the discovery of diamondls there was ade by an ot1ier of the Mexican army. A collection of the diamonds was taken to the City of Mexico and after bt ing cut they found their ia into the chn als of comnmerce. Efforts to relocate the diamond field piroved fu tile andl it was not until many years later that a mining prospector came upon the formation in which the dia mionids were found. Hie collected a large number of them in the rough and took them back to the capital, where they were placed on exhibition. Noth Ing was done, however, toward the de velopment of the field. Not long ago the department of com merce and industry of the Mexican gov er:2nent sent an expedition in charge of Antonio Lopez, an engineer, to the locality. Mr. Lopez reported that iis research had been entirely successful. Among the diamonds he brought back with him was one of enormous size in the rough which he turned over to the :epartment of commerce and industry. He made a report to the effect that dia mods in large quantities are to be found and that the mining can be done at comparatively little cost. Letting the Lawyers Work a Little.

In a few sections of the United States do the majority of farm fam ilies produce on their farms the pro portion of the family living that best farm economics indicates they should produce. Many reasons are given for the failure to do this. With the most of these we are all familiar. It cannot be denied that some sections are bet ter adapted to the production of certain of our standard foods than are others, and in consequence the growing of these foods in the less favored sections may not be profit able from the standpoint of growing surplus food for the market. However, in practically no sections 'where the production of standard foods is not barred by soil or climat ic conditions should the farm family neglect to produce food for home consumption. This is true because of the fact that, under even quite ad verse conditions food crops may be produced at less cost than the amount of money it takes to pay for foreign grown food, when transportation and dealers' charges are added. Another very important fact is that if certain class of foods are not pro duced at home, the average farm famiry will be obliged to do without them. Take milk and cream for instance, My quite wide observation over the Southeast leads me to believe that in our section not one farm family in a hundred, where cows are not kept on the individual farm, ever has for use one.tenth the amount of milk and cream that the best interest of the members of the farm family de mands should be used. With these food products it is not a qustion of cost, but is a question of producing at home or going.with out. .Then in the matter of eggs and poultry the case is not far different. While I have always been a firm -believer in the quality dairy cow, I do not believe the quality in the cow at this time is any way near as im portant as securing the cow. Any sort of a cow that will giv' milk will prove a boon to the family that has heretofore been without milk and cream, and such a cow can be fed on the waste products of the average farm at a cost of half what the milk she produces would cost on the mar ket and one-tenth of the cost that follows doing without milk in the family where there are growing chil dren. With the average family when spe cial money crops are at normal prices the bare necessities in clothing and standard foods consume so large a proportion of the farm income that a corn bread and hog meat diet be Tire M SIZE and TYPE 30 x 3 Clincher 30 x 31 Clincher 32 x3A S.
