II the man who causes two blades of
grass to grow where one grew before is a
public benefactor certainly. Hon. M. S.
Otero, of Bernalillo, this county, is phil

The past winter he employed number oi
men and teams and put 400 or 500 acres
of the high mesa land east of Bernalillo
under cultivation and this spring planted
the same to wheat, alfalfa, beans and
other cereals. The whole investment has
involved an outlay of 81, 900 or sc, 900, and
where he now has a 25O acre wheat field
was six months ago barren desert, utter
y worthless. ess.-Albuquerque Citizen.
