You say don't preach the gos>

The thing now to be most dreaded

God never forces a crown upon
anybody who does not want it; if he
did, the rascal would 60 and sell III

1t takes two things to make a
christian; first to realize that Gsd
loves you, and second, for you 90
pitch right in and love God all yqu
can. 2
Pm so glad I don't preach Ike

that when anybody else tries 20

THE appointment of Mr.. Jose Segura
as Pueblo Indian agent is very good
and proper one. Mr.. Segura is news
paper man and has been publishing and
editing the Boletin Popular, an influential
Spanish weekly here, for the past four
years. He is an educated man, an hon
est man, a good Republican, and well ac-
quainted with the habits, customs and
language of the Pueblos. He is a native
OF this territory, and therefore, from polit-
ical standpoint his appointment can also
be considered very timely and judicous
one. He is at present territorial librarian.
We predict that Mr. Segura will make an
excellent record as an official and that he
will perform the duties of the office with
benefit to the Pueblo Indians and credit
to the government. The senate should
confirm his nomination at once, as there
is an absolute vacancy in the office and
as it is for the public interests to have a
regular agent in charge of that important
agency.

THE SOcOrrO board of county comm

THE Socorro board of county commits
sioners makes very satiiying exhibit of
county finances, Notwithstanding the de-
lalcation OF its treasurer, leaving the
county without funds for several months
during the past year and bringing some
discredt upon its standing in the money
markets. However, the recovery ola part
of the defalcation and the sale of $4,000
current expense bonds enabled the clos
ing up of the past years accounts in bust
ness-like shape, and close collections by
the sheriff of taxes for 'S9, which remain
intact for meeting the expenses of go,

ing efficient, and capable county officers,
men who can comprehend the law and
have the honesty to execute it to the

FOUNTAIN VALLEY HORTICULTURE.

The whole range OF horticulture, from
he rayaCes Of the cndiing moth to The
attest safety device in the shape Of an
electric frost alarm" WAS discussed in
an able and intensely interesting mann'r
at Denver last week, at the annual meet
ing OF the Colorado State horticultural &
Forestry association. \ score or more Of
highly entertaining essays were read on
seasonable topics, and the whole range OF
discussion was of such character as to
indicate that in no industrial science is
the Centennial state making greater
progress than in this. Colorado is now
only beginning to foster horticulture, yet
she is able to boast of upward Of 100000
bearing fruit trees, with the acreage rap
idly increasing. 1t is claimed that the
state has 34,000,000 acres of irri-
gable land accessible to water, lying
at an altitude of 5000 to 5000 feet, with
climatic conditions favorable for produc-
ing any variety of fruit outside OF tropical
products. At the meeting much atten-
ton was evinced in the work of develop
ing the underground water supply and its
effect in bringing about the establishment
of small fruit farms. Subrrisation for
tree culture also found many advocates.
1t was decided that the state legislature
should be asked to introduce a sort of a
primary system of teaching horticulture
into the public schools. One member
explained the workings of new and in
genious devise known as the electric
frost alarm" which gives warning Of an
approaching temperature dangerous to the
fruit crop--certainly most useful device
in all mountain farm districts, ii it proves
practicable in its workings The alarm
rings in the houses and the people hasten
to the orchards, build fires and
the ascending smoke drives off the frost,
thus averting great loss. But the lesson
for New Mexico in this assembly lies in
the statement that ''the older our or
chards and vineyars grow the more in
sects we have to fight At present in
Colorado orchards there coddling moth,
the grape leaf hopper and the apple flea
beetle are the most destructive; there
also are the sphynx and curculio. Meth
DDS of destroying these pests were set
forth, but it was freely admitted that,
where neglected in the beginning, it
was hard and continuous battle. New
Mexico fruit-growers are urged to bear
this fact well in mind. Our fruit men
should not feel secure in the freedom from
these pests which they now so happily
enjoy.
