A MEM COUNTRY OF GREAT WEALTH COM
ING 10 THE FRONT.
whore Farmers Grow Rapidly Rich.

"The richest agricultural and stock coun-
try on the face of the EARTH" says j. c.
Swoof, the big ranchman of South Dakota,
in the Denver Tribune, is Southern New
Mexico. "These farming lands are
all irrigated-and by irrigation in
this country the farmer is GER
tain of all the water he wants, and as
he wants it, and he is also insured against
floods or too much water. Only very
small portion of Southern New Mexico can
ever be irrigated. The uplands are cover
ed with a fine nutritious Nj xics n blue grass,
which make them the finest grazing lands
for stock cattle upon the earth.
''These irrigated lands are worth under
cultivation from $500 to $4,000 per acre,
and they are worth these prices from the
fact that they pay the farmer every year
from 500 to $1,000 above the expenses per
acre. Farming in this country is gold
mine-a mint. A hundred acres under ir-
rigaiion near the railroad in Southern New
Mexico in grass and corn will pay larger
profit per acre every year than any 100
acres in Illinois, Iowa or South Dakota will
in ten years. Besides the farmer there
runs no danger from flood, drouth or frost,
dangers which menace every farmer in the
East, North, South and West. In fruit
and vegetables these lands pay annually
from $500 to $l200 per acre. l am selling
out my ranches and all my Dakota property
and shall move Immediately to Southern
New Mexico"
"What section of New Mexico are you
going to-" asked the reporter.
"Deming, New Mexico, will be my des-
tination. 1t is beautiful town of 5000 in
habitants, great railroad center, in the
middle of the most beautiful valley ever
saw. Deming is certain to soon become
great city. The town of Deming and sur
rounding valley have been recently put
under irrigation by the Deming Land and
Water Company. These lands are rich
and exhaustless, and under irrigation will
raise anything nearly that grows, from the
hard No. 2 Canadian wheat to figs and rails

.'These lands will be opened for settle
ment by the middle Of August. They can
be, bought now for from $75 Gncluding
water rights up to $400 per acre. If the
farmers of the East and West knew of
these facts every acre would be taken with
in 80 days. 1t is not likely that an acre of
land near Deming can be bought in two
years for $1,000 per acre."
eporter-What do you think of the
climate?"
"It is the finest and most delightful eli
mate on this earth. l think l am safe in
saying it will cure any case of lung, bron-
chial or throat trouble or malaria or nerve
diseases, and the waters will cure almost
any kidney trouble. Asthma cannot exist
in that climate"
"How is the society"
Equal to the society of similar towns in
Illinois and Massachusetts,, and l am
Massachusetts, man myself"
Greater fortunes can be made in the next
two years in Deming than in any other sec
ton of this country. 1t is country which
will pay you 800 for every dollar you in
vest in ia lovely country to live in-a
market for everything you raise-the far
mer's paradise and the stockman's heaven.
