THAT the farmers of New Mexico have
80 theoretically taken hold of the alleged
new forage plant, sacaline, is certainly
creditable to their enterprise and up-to-
dateness, but the New MEXICAN would
advise that only experiments be made
with the plant this year. Reputable au.
thorities declare it not near what it is
represented to be by the seed houses. In
fact, it is said that Prof. Pommell, of the
Iowa agricultural college, who has had
several years. experience in growing it
is very doubtful if it will do what ii
claimed for it in arid soil.

PRESS COMMENTS.
A Prosperous Com munity.

As will be seen by the statement of the
town of Eddy finances published else
where, the incorporation is out of debt
with $253.37 in the bank to its credit
There IS not bill of any kind whatever
against the town which has been pre-
sented that to-day remains unpaid. While
the town tax ls high, it is satisfaction
to know We are out of debt. The next
year, however, taxes will be one-fourth
less than last year, the amount levied be-
ing only q of cent on 81 valuation
against cent last year. Valuations are
high in New Mexico, every parcel of
property being assessed at its full mar
ketable value and some considerably
more than it will bring. 1t should be the
aim 30 to conduct the affairs of town
county and territory as to make reduc-
tion all around.-Eddy Current.

IT is alleged that Premier Rosebery Is
80 sorely afflicted with insomnia that he

of his choice is said to be the Duchess of
Albany, widow of the youngest son of
Queen Victoria, and preliminary to the
interesting event Madam Rumor adds
that he has already bought a $150,0o0
emerald necklace for his prospective
bride. Rosebery is 30 very rich that he
can afford any luxury that happens to
please his fancy.
