County Farm Project Delayed as Committee Seeks Details
A Deming county farm demonstration plan stalled at a luncheon as the county farm bureau executive committee asked for more days to finalize plans. Speakers emphasized need for guidance amid losses from poor irrigation, crops, and farming methods, with officials noting 10 active farmers in the valley and the necessity of a county demonstration farm to assist them. The organizing committee requested one more week to shape the program, while local church groups prepared future luncheons.
