State Guard Wireless Ready For War Era Use In New Mexico
State Guard in New Mexico operates a modern wireless plant with its own generator for field use by telegraphic or telephone in wartime. It aided El Vado dam when phone service failed, but regulatory issues prevented its deployment. Amateurs could man the system, yet no regular operators are enrolled, leaving the gear in storage until war or relaxed rules allow service. A note on Old and New America praises its Grant county chapter lore though minor inaccuracies are noted about Pinos Altos and early settlement.

Big Increase In Feeding Stock In The Pecos Valley
A New Mexico College of Agriculture report notes a 50 percent rise in lambs fed in the Pecos Valley during 1940-41 to 150000, making the region the state’s leading feeding area. Producers averaged $1.59 profit per lamb, $1.57 return per dollar of feed, and $19.96 per ton of alfalfa hay fed, with alfalfa priced around $10 per ton locally. The practice supported soil fertility, moved surplus alfalfa, and provided investment funds, with an estimated 131125 tons of alfalfa marketed through lambs, yielding about 131250 dollars extra income to producers.
