An Honest Administration,

Territorial bonds are away above par.
This is the surest proof that the terri
torial administration is honest, prudent
and efficient, and that public funds are
properly and honestly handled. Calam-
ity howlers, ward bosses and heelers, a
few disappointed office seekers and
some disgruntled Office holders, who
imagine that their great and glorious
abilities are not sufficiently recognized,
may howl fraud and corruption, but the
facts disprove this howl to the fullest
extent. 1t needs no argument to demon
strate that a commonwealth, whose
bonds are quoted as gilt-edged securi-
ties, and commanding a premium al
from s to Is per cent. and whose oun
ties are refunding local Indebtedness
from s, 6 and Z per cent bonds into
per cent bonds at par, is well governed,
and it Is clear to all fair-minded and
well-disposed persons that no corrup-
ton and dishonesty exist in the adj
ministration Of public affairs and the
handling of public funds in such a po-
litical subdivision. This is the case in
New Mexico to-day, and the fake sto-
ries and falsehOods. told by a few pa
pers and the gang behind them, to
make public affairs look bad an dis
gushing, will not and do not go down
with intelligent people. New Mexico is
all right, and will continue to grow and
increase in wealth. population and civ
ilization right along.

SECOND HOMESTEAD ENTRIES.
. Boon to Many Persons Who Left Thei,
Old Homes.
Denver Republican,

Denver Republican,
1t is of great interest to the west that
the conference committee of the senate
and the house of representatives has
reached an agreement upon a bill per-
hitting persons who have failed to per-
feet their homestead claims to make
new entries.
This lifts a prohibition upon home
stead entries which prevented many
persons from making them in new sec
tons of the west because they had pre-
viously entered land under the home
stead law elsewhere. The law contem-
plates that each person shall have but
one homestead entry, so that the public
domain may not be taken up by COM
paratively few locators. But men who,
for any cause, have been prevented
from perfecting their homestead claims
have failed entirely to derive any ben
eft from the law, being denied the right
to make a second entry even under
those conditions.
The new law will restore the right of
entry to persons who have been pre-
vented from perfecting their claims. 1t
will be a Door to persons who. because
of financial disaster or other causes,
have left their old homes and sought
fortune in newer and more remote parts
of the country. Many such reside in
Colorado. Doubtless hundreds Of them
would long since have taken up h"me-
stead claims here or in Wyoming If 1t
had not been for the restriction which
the new law will remove.

PROFIT IN ALFALFA.
One of the Most Lucrative Crops That Is
Grown In the Southwest.

Alfalfa, lucerne or Spanish clover is
\ the most extensive and lucrative crop
grown in the west. This remarkable
plant is one of the most valuable of ma
lures products. Once successfully
planted there is no termination to it's
wealth-producing life. It's characteris-
| ties are as follows: The roots penetrate
to the lower stratum of the soil and put
it in excellent physical condition for
corn, wheat, and any succeeding crop,
potatoes especially, besides acting the
part of a fertilizer, similar to red clo-
The corn, wheat and potato rop are
| almost doubled. 1t is Easy to raise and
! secure a fine stand of plants If the soil
| be put in proper condition.
It's staying qualities are good, as the
oldest fields show no diminution Of
| yield; neither does it die by winter ex-
| posture. The quantity produced by the
many cuttings makes it much more val
| liable than other clovers or grasses. 1t
is as digestible as clover hay, taking
constituent by constituent. It's chemi-
| cal composition shows that it is a rich,
strong food when property cured. Its
feeding qualities are excellent, being
| relished by all farm animals. 1t is also
| strong food when properly cured. It's
| healthfulness as a steady diet for work
| horses and mules is another of it's
| strong points. The long life of work
| animals has no parallel in clover or
timothy regions.
| There are two methods of growing
| alfalfa: One is to irrigate freely and
| cut exclusively for hay, whereby four
| and sometimes five cuttings are har-
vested in a season, the total product be-
ing an average of about five tons an
| acre, worth from IS to 81 a ton in the
| stack. Owing to the heavy yield of hay
the total cost of producing and putting
it in the stack does not exceed $1.25 a
ton, leaving a net income of from $l0
| to 1925 an acre. The other method of
| growing alfalfa is to cut one crop for
| hay and one crop for seed. The yield
| of the hay crop in this instance will av-
| erage one and one-fOurth tons an acre.
The average yield of the seed crop is
five bushels an acre. The largest yields
Of seed have been from fields which
have been pastured during the spring
months.
The seed is worth from So to 81 a
! bushel of 60 pounds. The total cost of
| producing alfalfa seed, including har-
| vesting, threshing and cleaning, does
not exceed $3.50 a bushel. In addition
to the crop of hay and seed, the alfalfa
straw and pasture remaining always
sell at So an acre net, making a total
net annual income of from $40 to 500 an
acre. When a stand of alfalfa is ac-
| quired it will last a life time, but where
it has been produced a number of years
it is frequently plowed under as a fer
| tilizer, and lands so treated yield enor-
nous crops of all kinds. In the irri-
| gated districts of both Europe and
America the demand for alfalfa seed is
constantly increasing for reseeding
land exclusively for it's fertilizing quail
tiles.

The capital city is gratiied at the
large delegations sent by Las Vegas
and Albuquerque. They are the nearest
large neighbors of Santa Fe, and by
working together can do much for the
upbuilding of the territory. They are
not near enough to each other to be
rivals, and yet near enough to be neigh
bors. Santa Fe has always sent large
crowds to the Meadow City and to the
Duke City upon festival occasions. and
it is pleasing to note that Las Vegas
and Albuquerque people to-day recipro-
cate by coming en- masse to the capitol
dedication, which is not merely a local
event, but an event of interest and i'm
portance to the whole territory.

The plan to make the census bureau
a permanent department of the govern
ment is not a bad one. This is an age
of scientific legislation, and legislation
much dependent upon conditions as
they actually exist. Statistics that are
accurate and thoroughly up to date are
often a necessary foundation for such
legislation, and the census bureau could
furnish required data upon short no
tice. AS it is, the bureau Is in existence
the greater part of the ten years which
elapse between each successive census,
and by adding a few more years to its
life it would be made permanent, and
would avoid doing again every ten
years the costly and complicated work
Of preparing for the d%ecennial census.

The southern Rio Grande valley-in
fact, every part Of the te~rritory-has its
representatives in the capital city to-
day. Many of the visitors have been
here before, many come for the first
time, and others come for the first time
at this season of the year. If the visit
ors remain several days they will dis
cover that the capital city is a delight
full place to visit in summer. Perhaps
II this fact were better known the city
would always be crowded in summer
by as many visitors as are in it to-day

The upper Rio Grande valley Is wei
represented in Santa Fe to-day. That
part of the territory has a great future
awaiting it. While the stream Of i'm
migration in late years has mostly
sought other sections, there are indica-
lions now that Rio Arriba and Taos
counties, as well as northern Santa Fe
county, will see rapid growth and de-
velopment within the next few decades,
Santa Fee Is the natural outlet for those
parts, and whatever benefits them will
benefit the capital city. 1t is a great
field for trade and for enterprise, and
the New Mexican will continue to do
its best to keep the fertile valleys, the
rich mountains and the superb climate
of that section before the world.

of an extraordinary discovery of copper
ore in Santa Fe canon, about thirteen
miles from Santa Fe. He says that the
vein is 200 feet wide and has been traced
for more than 5000 feet. A sample chip
ped from the surface of the ledge and
entirely across the vein gave an assay
return of s per cent copper, and Mr..
Reynolds thinks that he has a property
that, with development, will make one
of the great copper mines of the coun-
