All of the Greene teams ara now at
work on the lower farm putting in 600
acres Of Egyptian corn. Tho crop of
this corn raised last year at the vineyard
place was worth $75 per acre for stock
feed and for seed.
From ten to fourteen punches Of grapes
are maturing on many of the vines plant
ed at the Greene vineyard fifteen months
ago. The crop of the $40 acres will bs in
excess of home demands and shipments
will be made by express.

Not less than 100 people may bo seen
fishing in the lake and river every even
ing about sundown. Some catch fish

to the cool stream. IT they don't get fish

Capt. Samuel Small few days ago sold
his forty-acre farm in the lower part of
the valley for $50 an acre. He purchased
this land only fifteen months ago for $25
an acre, thus netting him a handsome
profit on the investment, besides the
crops he has taken off. This is only one
instance of what can be done in the Pecos
valley.
Tho first ripe fruit of tho season ar
rived Wednesday--a jar of pears, the
Smith Hybrid, from the farm of Judge a..
G. Rogers, near Roswell. The fruit was
taken from a 4-year-old tree not ever
four and half feet high, and it has about
100 we'll grown and now fully ripe
pears. This is dwarf species and can
be planted at distance Of only six feet
apart.
The Pecos Valley Railway company is
laying its six inch pipe in the alloy east
of Main street from the water tank south
of Tansll street and thence to the new
wells in Dark canon, three miles distant.
A twelve inch feeder is being put in
Greene street from Canal street to the
Hagerman reservoir across the river,
and six inch mains will be laid in Canal
and Canon streets. where the railway
main and the twelve-inch feeder iniersect
in Greene street. The two systems will
be connected in such way that either
river water from the Hagerman system or
water from the new wells can be turned
in as may be desired.
RoswELL NOTE.
Mover in the history of Chaves county
has there been such fruit crop as is now
assured. Strawberries and cherries have
come and gone, the early peaches, pears,
and apples are beginning to turn, and the
trees are loaded with late fruits. With
proper facilities for preserving the crop
of fruit that will this year be grown,
sufficient sum could be obtained to pay
tho territorial and county taxes; this, too,
when the fruit industry IS in it's infancy.
When the great number of trees that have
been planted within the last few years
come into bearing, this valley will be
able to cope with any section of the
United States in the quantity of her
product, as she now equals the most
favored in the quality. The out
look for the rapid development of this
valley is exceedingly flattering. Roswell
