Chapter in history of the Nichols Family
Irvin Nichols records that the Nichols family from Comanche Texas moved to the Otero County area with five children including Andrew born 1874. Andrew left at age 15 in 1889, vanished for years, reportedly joined the Army bound for the Philippines in 1898, and was never heard from again. The parents died over thirty years ago in La Luz, and scarce clues suggest he later returned to the United States with property but no contact with kin.

Conserve Feed by Culling Boarders in Poultry Flocks
State College New Mexico Extension Service urges drastic culling to conserve feed. To meet 1943 goals while feed is scarce, 5 million hens, about ten percent, should be culled and sent to market. High producing hens yield better egg output with less feed than older or poor layers. Each culled hen saves five to six pounds of feed monthly and supports overall production targets.
