1.-THE Farmer needs just Ave things to
make Vandert lit out Of him." says Prof.
il. Warren Woods, the agriculturalist
and horticultural II. Rich and ex-
haustless soil. Q. Rain as he wants
it and when he wants it, without
floods. 8. All the dry weather he
wants, without drouth. 4. Early spring,
and late autumns, which excludes the pos
sibility Of damage from frosts. 5. A ready
and high priced market for everything he
raises" Combine for the benefit of the
farmer these FIVE features and he be-
comes Immediately the most prosper
GUS, well-to-do and luxuriously sit
uated business man ia the world.
No business would be'so profitable as farm
ing, no children so fortunate, no wife 10
happily situated amid easy surroundings IS
the farmers children and wife if such things
could be.
In most sections of the country the
farmer is the hardest worked man, his chill
dren have less advantages, and his wife
lives the most slavish life of toll.
The farmer plants his seed in the cold
ground of early spring with doubts as to its
coming up, and if it does, the cut worm
may take it; if the cut worm don't. the
drouth may; but if 1t escapes all these
perils, then everybody will have raised so
much that he finds little or 10 market for
what he has to sell. No wonder the farmer
ages prematurely, the wife loo ks
"Tired and labor.worn
From her bridal morn"
Such things are wrong. No man works
harder than the farmer, and, as rule, no
one is as poorly paid.
1t goes without saying that the day OF
high prices for farm products has past, In
the South it will be five-cent cotton instead
of ten, in the, North 5O-eent wheat instead
of dollar; % cent corn instead Of 80; Is
cent butter instead Of 40 and so on to4the
end Of the chapter = ds siis
In the face of these facts what will the
wise farmer do? He will seek location, it
possible, while it can be- found, where the
soil is rich and exhsustless, the growing
seasons long, the climate conducive to
health and youth, and the markets are the
best. Many of the best sections of the
country are settled, and the lands are so
high that the average farmer cannot touch
them. "There is one section of country"
says Prof. j. Warren Woods (and, in my
opinion, it is the best spot of land in the
world for the farmer, "now being opened
for settlement-it is Deming, New Mexico"
The Beautiful Town Of Deming.
The beautiful town of Deming, in the
delightful Members Valley, is now being
irrigated, and irrigated lands are the only
lands the farmer of the future can work
with any safety. ssd- L.
At Deming the soil is rich and exhaust
less, and the farmer can make at simple
farming 500 per acre and upwards every
year. at gardening and fruit raising be
can make from 5000 to 81 500 per acre
yearly. No section Of the world bids so
loud for farmers, and no country offers so
much. A farmer in this country with only
ten acres can lay up thousands per year
and, at the same time, live like lord
among his vineyards, his fig trees and his
palms.
Here the climate is sub-tropical-mil
winters, early springs, with autumns ex-
tending, far into the lap of winter-a coun-
try which will cure bronchial and lung con-
asthma. throat troubles and ma
laria in any and every form; country
where drouth cannot exist, because the
lands are irrigated; where floods don't exist,
because it don't rain in crop season, and
country where there is, and always will be,
a higher market for everything raised than
in any section of the American continent.
Churches, schools and society are the best,
with four railroads (three of these are
trunk lines). and others building into the
town. A country where age hesitates and
youth continues, and where human vitality
seldom weakens, exhausts or wanes.
These lands are offered to settlers for
short time at prices less than they can make
every year by farming them. To investors
this country offers more at this time than
any place upon the American continent.
