Fertile VALLEY GONE TowAsTE.
Broad Reach of Mexican Farming
Land Ia "Burning Up.''

A special dispatch to the Globe
Democrat from Washington says: In
an interesting report, just made
public, Charles W. Kindrick, consul
OF the conditions which exist In q Dor
tion of the Rio Grsnde Valley in the
vicinity of the city where he is located
and below Ell Paso, Tex. He Gays that
the farmers in that region have had no
water for the past two years and
| there Is NO prospect of water for irriga-
| tion purposes during the present year
for brief period during the present
month. Continuing, the consul says:
This flood water serves no praoti-
cal purposes, unless it could be held in
reserve. Agriculture depending on
irrigation derives but slighs benefit
from water obtainable for about one
month In twelve.
Agriculture has languished and wind
ling population and diminished busi-
ness testify to she apparently hopeless
condition due to the lack of sufficient
water to irrigate the sell. Fruit trees
have withered and died, alfalfa farms
have burned and persisted. and vine
yards. once producing an abundance
of grapes, have ceased to yield. Form
erly there we're in JuareZ and the val
ley below this CITY about 20, 600 people;
now there are less than 5000. Spread
ing south Of Ciudad Juarez are more
than 10O.O 900 acres of land as fertile
when irrigated as the bottoms of the
Nile.
From the fact that the soil is nat
urally so fertile, 1t may be reasonably
concluded that more water than form
erly has been drawn from the river in
Colorado and New Mexico. There po-
pulation has rapidly increased and
agriculture has been extended to the
limit Of the rivers capacity 70 supply
irrigs tion.
"According to the census of 1890,
1000 persons were engaged In the
cultivation OF 100. 600 acres of land in
the Rio Grande Valley of New Mexico.
The mum Der of persons engaged in
agriculture and the number of acres
added to those already cultivated, it is
estimated, have more than doubled.
As the amount of water drawn from
the Rio Grande in northern New
Mexico can not be diminished, the
outlook for the farming and dependent
interests in the valley about and
below Ell Paso aud Cludad Juarez is
unpromising. This valley will never
again prosper unless something il
done to provide water for the pur-
poses of irriRstion.'
