The Valuable Results of the Experiments That
Have Been Made at Mesilla Park by the New
Mexico College of Agriculture
and Mechanic Arts.
A Benefit TO THE FARMER.
THE FRUIT GROWER. THE
STOCK RAISER AND OTHERS

been done is as follows: For the first
time in the history of the territory the
practicabilty of pumping for irrigation
at low enough cost to be of use to the
farmer has been demonstrated undenla-
| bly,. Lands can be irrigated by machine
cry similar to that used by the college
at a cost of from so to IS cents per acre
| for an irrigation three inches deep.
These figures are based upon short
runs which are not as economical as
long runs, and upon using small torn
lilo wood as fuel. costing 1926 per cord.
1t is entirely probable that by using
more economical plants the cost can be
reduced to below these figures. All the
leading types of pumps have been 50
compared and tested that the citizens
of the territory interested in this ques-
ton can procure from the college infor-
nation which it would cost them hun
dreds of dollars to find out by exper-
ience.
1t is difficult to estimate fairly the
good the territory has received from
this one line of work which the college
has undertaken. 1t means the way Is
now open for q higher development of
the whole Rio Grande Valley along bet
ter lines tllan ever before. 1t means
that the cry of mo water is vain and
hollow one and that when the river
fails to give it's supply, the farmer can
Icall upon the inexhaustibie supply be-
he can use it on his land at a small
cost and one that will repay him two or
three times. 1T means more to the ter
ritory than can be understood through
the increased and unlimited possibilities
of the fertile lands of the Rio Grande
Valley. This question of pumping for
irrigation is only one of number that
the college at Mesilla Park has been
quietly and persistently carrying out.
1t illustrates in a forcible manner, how
ever, what the college is doing for the
territory not in one locality nor in one
county, but as a whole. Surely an in
stitution that has been and Is doing
good for the farmers cattlemen, sheep
men, fruit growers, and others, all
through the territory, deserves the
strong support of the territory by
means of the necessary appropriations
which the Legislature should give to the
Institution and without which it's work
will be very seriously crippled and
hampered.

O'Clock This Morning-.A Fire
at New York.

Cincinnati, O., Feb. 26.-This city was
visited today by the most destructive
fire in it's history About 1:30 this NOR
ming, the flames were discovered in the
cellar of George Joffee's grocery store in
the Pike building on 4th street, between
Vine and Walnut. An hour later there
was an explosion, supposed to come
from liquor in storage, and the fiames
soon shot up through the roof and from
that time until daylight the fire was not
under control. At o'clock this morn
Ing the territory between Vine, Walnut
Fourth and Baker streets is burning
control in that district. AS there are
over 400 different losses, it is impossible
at this time to estimate accurately the
total loss. 1t is believed to be over
three millions. Among the losses Is
that of the United States Express Co.
Adams Express Co., American Book
Co., the Telephone building, Pike thea
ter, Joffee's grocery and scores of 9TH
er stores and offices AS it was well
known that about 20 people slept in the
Pike building, there We're reports OF
several lives lost, but this is not con-
firmed The only loss of life so far
known, is that of John Keenan,, night
watchman of the American Book Co.
who was caught by the falling walls,
and fatally injured.
SEVERAL FIREMEN HURT.

Some people in New Mexico may still
be found who are blind to the positive
good that the territory is receiving
from it's territorial educational insttu-
tions. The Agricultural College at Me-
silla Park is an institution that is prob
ably more directly in line with the work
of positively benefting the territory in
a practical manner than any other OF
the educational institutions of New
Mexico. This is largely through the
practical character of it's work, espec-
tally the work of that part of the col
lege known as the Experiment Station.
The Experiment Station at Mesilla
Park has done much for the people OF
the territory. 1t has shown what kinds
of fruits are best adapted to certain To-
calities, the high value of the irrigating
water of the Rio Grande, the quality of
waters from many parts Of the terri
tory, the high grade Of sugar beets that
can be raised particularly in the north
ern part of the territory and has DEM
onstrated many other facts of value to
New Mexico. But probably no line OF
work has so materially benefited the
territory in so short a time as the work
recently undertaken by the college in
showing the possibilities of pumping for
yvI ha 1oy,pth nf
the Rio Grande Valley which extends
through a great part of the territory,
the one thing that has delayed the de-
yelopment of agricultural lines has
been a shortage of water. 1t was gen.
orally recognized that the Rio Grande
Valley had not enough available water
for irrigation, but the most optimistic
persons had never ventured to suggest
what the college has shown to be true.
In less than a years time the college
has demonstrated in a practical and
forcible manner the entire practicability
of irrigating from wells in the RIO
Grande Valley. Day after day it has
been pumping from 6-inch pipe we'll
flow Of water varying with the kind OF
pump tested, from $50 to 1,2O0 gallons
minute. This flow has been pumped
from this we'll continuously without tine
slightest sign Of any failure of the
available supply. The college has test
ed eight different pumps secured from
all parts of the United States, and the
most complete and reliable data have
been recorded in each case.
Briefly, the substance of what has
