MARKET ASSOCIATION PAYS LARGE PROFITS Pinto Bean Growers of Newfllex ico Making Money. Form Organization, Eliminating Local Buyers Who Were Rapidly Destroying Industry Through Careless Packing. "The pinto bean growers of this state have earned $82,000 in additional iprofitsN from their 1919 crop through ?their co-operative marketing associa tion Initiated by* specialists of the ?bureau of markets, United States de partment of agriculture;" Was the recent statement made by a New Mex ico pinto bean grower. Before the association was formed the beans were purchased by local buyers who practically controlled the market and therefore paid almost any ?price they chose. These buyers were rapidly destroying the possibilities that offered in the marketing of pinto beans through the lack of care In grading and packing. Choice re cleaned pinto beans was a technical ?trade name that came to mean noth ing, for the beans often contained splits and dirt, as a result of which jthe trade could not depend upon the quality of the product. Now the fanners do their own marketing through the association. .Sixteen warehouses, properly equipped .with grading and packing machinery, have been erected. The beans are carefully graded and then packed in new, even-weight 100-pound bags, which are neatly sewed and branded. :The association demands clean cars from the railroad, and in loading the sewed ends of the sacks face one way. The association believes in the bureau of markets' proved theory that when a buyer throws open the door of a car he ls Instantly Impressed if the con tents present a clean, orderly appear ance. The New Mexico association has 1,500 members and marketed 250 carloads of beans last year. It Is con stantly calling on the bureau of markets for assistance, which ls cheer fully given. SHEEP REQUIRE PURE WATER Regular Daily Supply ls important in Winter as Well as Summer for Best Results.. Some farmers seem to think that sheep do not need water and will do Just as well without it. Although not heavy drinkers, sheep certainly need a regular daily supply of water in winter as well as In summer. If they cannot get clean water they will find dirty water, or in winter, will eat snow. . Experienced sheep ' men see to it that water for sheep is always and easily accessible. The best of feed ing with hay and grain Is useless with out water. The body suffers without water, the appetite is lessened and a poor, run down animal is the result Besides water, the sheep need salt. All these things are necessary to keep sheep in good condition. SYSTEMS OF^ FEEDING FOWLS Dancer of Bowel Trouble Lessened Where "Dry" Plan ls Used-. Also Saves Labor. There are two systems in use for I the feeding of fowls, in one of which all tt-e feed is given dry and in the other of which one or more of the daily feeds consists of a moistened mash. For convenience they may be termed the "dry-feed" and the "mash" systems, although in the dry-feed sys tem a dry mash is often fed. Dry feeding Is used by many where lt ls i not convenient to make and feed a . moistened mash.

PROPER TIME TO CUT WHEAT When Straw Has Lost Nearly All of Green Color and Grains Are Not Entirely Hard. Wheat may be cut with safety when the straw has lost nearly all its green color and the grains are not entirely hardened. If cut sooner than tbis . shriveled kernels will result. If left standing until fully ripe a bleached appearance, due to the action of the elements, often results, and loss from shattering may ensue. Wheat that ls .fully ripe is also more difficult to handle. Where the area of wheat Is large, cutting should begin as early as it can be done safely.-Farmers' Bulletin 885.
