Hon. John A. Lee, who has just been

every move calculated to push Albuquer-

of which Albuquerque is practically the
center, and each year sees it growing in
importance. Louis lmbert's success is
fair sample of what the fruit grower with
pluck and push can accomplish here.
In less than five years he has made
fortune in fruits. He has now in full

peach and plum trees that would turn a
fruit farmer from Michigan green with
envy. Mr.. Imbert will this year manu-
facture about 5000 gallons of wine.
A gentleman who owns fine vineyard
near Albuquerque states that fair yield
for good vineyard is from Two to three
gallons of wine to vine which is worth
in Albuquerque from 1925 to $40 per bar
rel of forty wine gallons, according to
quality. With the vines eight feet apart
each way, there would be $50 vines to
the acre, which at tho lowest estimate
above given would yield 1860 gallons.

est district of Kansas" is the assertion
OF one Of the best farmers residing near
Albuquerque. All fruit, grain and vegeta-
bles find ready sale in the towns and
mining camps and there is good market
already existing for at least four times as
much OF all these various articles as is
produced at present.
TIE PROFIT IN IT
\ good farmer or gardner with forty
acre farm makes, in the Rio Grande val
ley near Albuquerque, from 81 800 to 49,
600 profit each year besides paying all
bis living and working expenses. Be-
sides the crops OF grain and vegetables
that can he raised the farmer must take
into account lis fruit, poultry and dairy
products.
Good, fresh butter is in great demand
at 40 cents to so cents per pound. Fowls
do well in this vicinity and sell at $4 to
~ per dozen and hens eggs sell at %
cents to 80 cents per dozen. Cows do
splendidy here, and half an acre in al
faIla will keep COW the year round.
The cultivation of alfalfa has also re-
ceived much attention. This plant was
comparatively unknown ten years ago,
but fields OF it may now be found in every
part OF the territory. and the native grown
alfalfa hay is rapidly suppanting the
prairie grass formerly shipped i'll. 1t is
cut four times year, and averages one
and II hall tons Of the cutting and there
is steady demand for the hay at $15 to
$40 per ton. By baling this hay and
Keeping to sell in the winter $40 per ton
could be easily realized in the Albuquer-
que market. Just think moment, We
sweltering, Over"orked farmers of the east,
what ii field is here open to you. Here
you are not wasting half ynnr tiEno heul
ing tife-Wood to keep warm in winter, nor
exPen'liug two thirds the value of your
crops in getting them to market, nor are
you dependent upon the rain fall, for the
waters Of the Rio Grande, ladened with
fertllizng minerals, and the daily sun
shine are elements ever at your command
to regulate and guarantee abundant Larry
ests.
SUPERB FRUITS.
Fruit growing has also received much
attention. Many thousands of trees of
VIC liioSb pIONcl NdIlGllGS VI lTuiI have
been put out during the last few years
and the number is increasing every year.
Much new land Is being put under cult
walton for this purpose and the results
thus far have been eminently satisfactory.
The quality OF fruit, where good varieties
are planted, is very superior. The almost
perpetual sunshine OF this climate causes
trees OF the same variety to yield fruits
much superior i'll favor to these grown
anywhere in the states.
Fruit farming is probably the most pro-
titabIe in this country. A farmer near
Albuquerque who has one acre of apple
trees states hat his orchard produces 25,-
600 to 10000 pounds of good saleable
apples year which he sells at prices
varying from 2cents to cents per pound.
1t is poor year indeed that this orchard
does not pay him over 81 900 and often
pays 81 800 per year. The apples grown
here are so far superior to any that can
be imported that native apples bring a
