LOUISA DOLL IN NEW MEXICO * ; Writes Entertainly About Trip To Far West Mogollon, New Mexico. October 26, 1914. I Dear Folks At Home. Well here I am at Jay and Lucy’s. iGordy’s, have gone to school; | Laura, their girl, is straightening iup and Evelyn is leaning on my knee. She’s the dearest little youngster. Jay’s have a nice fiveroom cottage built on the mountain which makes the back door level and the front about ten feet from the ground. There is a board fence all around to keep the burros out. About an hour before leaving Chicago on my way here a little girl came accross the waiting room and introduced herself, said site saw me reading a Santa timetable and thought we might be company for each other for the next few days. She and I went to the lunch room and each got a cup of tea, while we were drinking our tea she told me her plans. She had been an Ohio grade teacher for six years. She was then on her way to Phoenix where she would meet her fiance and live happy ever after. Wednesday at 2:40 we went through Raton pass which is the highest place on the road between Albuquetque and Chicago, They very often find people dead in the sleepers after they pass the Raton tunnel. The air is too light for people with advanced stages consumption or with weak hearts. We pulled in front of the Elvarado at 10:40, and was to get out at 12:30 for Rluco. The Elvarado is a beautiful structure. Spanish archetecture, of course, of white stucco. It contains the depot, hotel and Indian relic rooms. The Indian rooms close at six so I didn’t get to see them. I hope to when I go back. There are enormous sums of money spent; there every year. They come to the Elvarado and sometimes sp=nd as high as SIOO.OO weekly. On these branch lines south the service is very poor. Got to Rincon at 7:20 Thurday a. m., had breakfast at a Harvey house there. After breakfast I met a lady who was going to teach at Jackson, a place 50 miles out on the same road from Silver City. We got to talking about transportation facilities with a c-ouple of men on the way to Silver City. They got off at Dening. We had 20 m*nutes to wait so we got out and went into the station. One of these men was in there and proceeded to chat. He said “So you have decided to stop off at Dening have you, I’m very glad.” I said no indeed I’m going on as soon as the train from the south comes in. He tried to coax me to stop over ia Dening. Now you know I thought I had made a hit. After he found out he couldn’t get me to stay he said he would see me up herejffiis week. I don’t think I’ll see him but if I do I’m going to tell him the next time he goes heart mashing to borrow a face and that I know a place in lilionis where he can get a lucrative job in a watch factory making faces. We arrived in Silver City at 12:05 and spent the afternoon looking up people who had offices and weren’t in them. A fellow by the name of Marriott said he would send us out in one of his machines at 8:30. The next morning we hunted up our rooming place. The woman that owned the place was once very wealthy, and had spent all her money and was« morphine fiend. She had the deluded impression that she could not walk. The last thing I remembered when I went to sleep Thursday night was her dancing and singing in the next room. I was to sleepy to stay awake and see how long it lasted. The next a. m. at 11.00 we started for Mogollon on a two seated apparatus with five men and a stack of mail sacks and baggage. We got a mile out of town broke our fan belt and eame back to town. At 142.00 we started again. My hat w&s such a ausance, so an oil man froth Mexico

gave me a big white silk muffler to tie my curls down with. Talk about roads you people back there i should be ostracized from society at the mere mention of bad roads. We went around the foot of hills with a 15 foot drop straight dow i on one side ahd so high on the other that the car went around on two wheels, the roads would be like pavement for perhaps 20 rods and then we would take a drop as nearl / perpendicular as would be posHble without rurning a flipflop, one minute the road would be rough jagged rocks and we’d roll out intoamirey muddy fla\ When we stopped at a little place called Gila a Hup, with a middle aged and young man ia drove up behind us and asked if they might follow us to Mogollon. Our driver said they could so when we drove out they followed us. We were only a few hundred feet from the Gila river. They had been taking the cars across on cables. But our driver thought he could ford it and could have if he had done it right but down hetlrove into the river and when we were out into the river nicely the thing stopped and when we stopped the Hup stopped on the bank. They fooled around until they stripped a gear and then the driver made the men get out and push. But the i engine was no good then so they j called a Mexican boy with a team !to pull us out. We were 35 miles ! from Silver City. Had to get new | geariug from there before we could ]go on. The men in the Hup had gathered courage, crossed without difficulty and had driven up behind us. Our driver asked if they could take us ladies up to Cliff and telephone for repairs So we got in the Hup and they took us up to Ciiff a little post office and road house. They telephoned and when they came back they offered to take us on with then, so we gladly accepted. I was kind of worried about having the oil man’s sear! but I knew he would come on up to Mogollon so I went on and left him We got to Jackson about 4:00. The men decided to stop at Jackson all night. Jackson is just a store house owned and run by Jackson. They are very nice people. We had a very pleasant evening and comfortable quarters for the night— Wawasee rates. The next morning at breakfast they offered to take me on. I had quite a debate with myself whether I should go or not if they asked me. I decided I would. Only 45 miles over mountain trail and God forsaken roads, with two men I hadn’t known 12 hours. I depended strictly on my intiution I had no idea when I would get here if I waited for the broken down truck, so we started for Mogollon at 8:30. The older roan made me put on a sheepskin vest and the youngest one slipped his big ulster on over that and my jacket I must say I never had total strangers treat me so nice. I think the southern men put it all over northern men for politeness and consideration. I never had such a grand ride. 1 had the whole back seat of the machine to myself with the exception of a suit case and a tire. The pull through the cactus fiat was like driving through half cooled rubber. But we had a good car and pulled through. We passed six machines disabled or stuck in the mud. Every time we would meet one of these machines or terrible places in the roads one would say, and they say the roads to Mogollon are good. We wondered what it could lie like when it was bad. We stopped at an orchard where there were the grandest big red apples, helped ourselves to a hat full. We came up convict grade from Glenwood about 10:30 Saturday. Half way up the grade we stopped at a slaughter house for water. On one side the mountain side rose on the other the road stopped with a drop which varried at different points from 20 feet to five hundred. As we came down this side of convict grade we got the first view of the mesa. It looked like a big ball diamond so smooth and just a little higher in the center. When we struck that,road we rnn at the rate of fifty miles an hour for three whoie miles, but when we struck Mogollon mountain we made up for all that speed. A very few times we were able to go on intermediate but nearly all the way up we had to come on low. Not for lack of power but for safety. We turned around a corner one of those with the straight wall up on the right hand and simply a space on

the left hand and we came right up; on a couple outfits. The'first had j 12 horses in front and 6 behind ani an auto behind it. We backed up and drove up again a little netr space. Petingall said ‘‘watch the wheel Joe.” I gazed down and thought to myself yes for heaven sake do watch the wheel Joe. Before I got there I was used to riding along with two wheels on the brink of space. We got to Mogollon t.t 12:30. They were kind enough to drive up to Jay’s with me and the t was up a stony creek bed. I would - n't have a machine of mine pu l over those mts. for all there wss in it. The only way l can see to put it is that it simply “gets” a machine. We are 8000 feet above sea leavel here. People all wear the latest styles and the Mexican all wear mail order goods. At present they are all running around in basq les. Jay’s have an open well and get water with a bucket, rope and pulley. I haven’t been over to Cooney yet but will go some time this week to get board settled betore I go to stay. Mogollon is built in a canyon, eggs are 45 cents a dozen, wood SIO.OO a cord, butter 45 cents a pound and moving picture show at 25 cents. They say this is the richest gold and silver nining district in New Mexico. You would think it would have to be to pay such oriees. lam getting a cramp in my hand So must quit. Evelyn and I are going up to the school house and will mail this on the way up. Sincerely Lou Doll. « 10 KNOW HE HESSIAN FLY * Farmers May Discover This Parasite In Their Fields Now At this season of the year he Hessian fly begins to make its'presence known in the fields of yo g Vvheat. The eggs are always l it on the surface of the leaves, nut the maggots, as soon as they hatch, make their way dorn the leaf to i point just above the roots of tin young plant. There the young maggots become embedded in the tissue and begin to feed upon the juices of the plant. Very few farmers are able to detect the presence ts the Hessian fly in thi.ii fields until much latei in the season, after the plants have become brown and dead. In the meantime they are likely cither to mistake the pest for other insects that maybe present in abundance, or to overlook its presence entirely. The occurrence of the pest may be very easily detected by any farmer provided he understands and observes the difference between infested and uninfested plants. The leaves of an infested wheat plant are always broader and have the appearance of being shorter than those of an uninfested plan', v. bile the infested leaves are of a much deeper green color, resembling in this respect the leaves of | volunteer oats. The rolled central j leaf, which indicates the presence j of the stem, if always absent, and infested plants stand much mote erect in the drill row and do n >t spread out and cover the ground. It is by this erect habit, broauor leaves, and deeper color that either an infested entire plant or a tiller of the same may be easily detected. In an uninfested plant the leaves are more slender, of a lighter greet*, and do not stand as erect, but ns the tillers are thrown up they spread out and cover the ground. Although they have every appec - ance of being less vigorous than V e infested plant, as a matter of fact they are much more vigorous, while the central unfolding leaf is always present. Where the darker green wheat plants are excessively abundant or predominate, if the soil is fertile it is a good plan to pasture the fields lightly. The pasturing, however, should be done only dating dry weather and preferable by young or light-weight animals. The tramping of the soil will probably cruHi many of the maggots and thus facilitate infested plants in throwing up fresh tillers, and these will appear above ground too late to become infested.

ter, these uninfested tillers will give the fields an increased number of plants in spring while the ememy has been more or less reduced, all of which is, of course, favorable to increased production in the coming crop.

Horses Going Up In the larger cities of the United States, the price of horses is steadily raising by reason of the large demand being made by the European war. This of course effects the smaller communities and it is prohesied that horses will bring the highest prices in the history of the country. The Hay Crop Indiana farmers produced 1,764,000 tons of tame or cultivated hay during 1914, according to the preliminary estimates made today by the United States Department of Agriculture. The yield last vear was 1,800,000 tons. The product is selling for an average of $14:70 per ton, compared with $12.40 per ton in 1913. The yield per acre this season is one ton per acre. —New arrivals in furniture now on display at Beckmans.

Report On Indiana Crops

The Crop Reporting Board of United States Department of Agriculture has just completed its estimate of the acre yield of the principal farm crops of Indiana for this year. The estimates are based on crop conditions during the early part of October. The final figures will be given out within, a short time, but it is reported that they will not differ to any great extent with the preliminary estimates. According to the figures the yield per acre of the principal crops of this State in 1914 will be as follows: Corn 45 bushels; buckwheat 21.5 bushels; Irish potatoes 120 bushels; sweet potatoes 132 bushels and tobacco' 1040 pounds. Supervisors Are Game Wardens Road supervisors are being given a hint that they are commissioned by reason of their official capacity, as local game wardens and that they are responsible for violation of the game and fish laws in their respective districts. The state law provides a fine of not less than $5 or more than $25 in case a supervisor fails to arrest or have arrested any violating the laws, when the knowledge of such violation comes to his notice. The official is practically a deputy game warden and is allowed a fee of $5 for each arrest in case of violation of the game aud fish laws of Indiana. Indian Prophesies Edward Kak-Kak, an aged Indian who is spending the winter with friends in Cass county, Mich., says that there will be a few snow flurries such as we had two weeks ago but winter will not set in until after the first of January and will not get down to business until in February. Kak-Kak is ninety Years of age but is still strong and robust. Try a Journal Want-Au <.
