Climate and Agricultural Pursuits
Touched On.
From the Granite Tribune.

From the Granite Tribune
Many people will ask, "What about
the agricultural interests of New Mex
ico?" This is not an agricultural
country. In some parts the grazing
of sheep and cattle is engaged in quite
extensively.
Fruit raising and gardening are car
ried on by means of irrigation but agri-
culture is not success in land where
the farmer must buy the water with
which to grow crop. The man who
owns the water has the money and the
farmer has the experience at the end
of the season.
A large portion of New Mexico can
be reclaimed but it will require a
great outlay of capital for the purpose
of building dams and digging bitches.
The present prices of produce will not
pay return on the money invested
which would satisfy capital and leave
anything for the farmer. Farmers of
Minnesota, you do not realize how
