THE MlMBRES VALLEY CANAL.
The Rio Grande Irrigation & Colonial
tion Company and What 1t Is
Doing.
Special Correspo ndenc. of the New Mexican.

Special Correspo ndence OF the New Mexican
DENINa, July II, 1911 learn that
the Rio Grande company's engineers have
completed their work on the Mimbres
and Deming canal line, and that the con-
tractors are working on this line in full
force and expect to complete the canal to
Deming by September 25. This line is
only twenty-five miles long and can be
quickly and cheaply constructed, and the
only object in constructing it first is be-
cause the company can show results of
irrigation sooner here than at any other
place on it's lines. However, they do not
consider that it's importance compares
with the great system of irrigation which
they hope to establish in the Rio Grande
valley. The engineers leave Deming on
the 18th for Albuquerque, where they will
at once run connecting line from Albu-
querque to Santa Cruz canon, where Chief
Engineer Anderson, of Colorado, will meet
them on the LIST and hand in his estimates
and plans for the dam at Santa Cruz
canon, and also for the first section of
fifty miles on the east side of the river
from Santa Cruz to a point opposite AL
heir plans and speclHcatioE-s. |

source Col. n. J. Cuniffe casually remark

specimens are more than six feet in
length and the heads are all well filed
out with large, fully developed kernels.

Jacob Applezoller near La Mesa this
year and were selected at random from a

that most of them will dry their grapes.
For these they can always obtain a good
market. So far the mildew has done very
little injury to the vines, and with the ex-
ception of few isolated patches, no dam.
