An interesting letter to our readers
from Capt. Woolman Gibson, of
Washington:
The Roswell daily record. [volume] (Roswell, N.M.) 1903-current, 1903-09-22
Learn at Roswell.

At Roswell, New Mexico the
country is arid, but irrigation has
made the lands that the water can be
put on fabulously valuable. The
fields, the orchards and the truck
patches attest the truth of the state
ment, that nothing add so much to
plant life and to it's fruitfulness as
water The annual fair will be held
at Roswell on the 22d of September
and the railroads leading there from
Texas will give extremely low excur-
sion rates. The question of irrigation
in Texas is one of great Importance.
The Roswell country will furnish ma
ny useful object lessons to those who
attend. The farmers of Texas should
study for themselves the great eco
nomic question of increasing the
fruitfulness of the soil. and at Ros-
well they can learn more than at
any other nearby place-Farm and
Ranch.

SILK IMPORTS ENORMOUS.
Statistics by Department of Conn merce shows Large Increase in Im-
 portation of the Raw Article.

The imports of raw silk in the fiscal year recently ended were the largest in the history of the government. Statistics just compiled by the depart ment of commerce and labor, through it's bureau of statistics, show that for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1903, 15,271 $40 pounds of unmanufactured silk, valued at $50,011,819 were inn ported, as compared with 14,200,000 pounds in 1902 and 10,400,000 in 1901 From this silk our manufactur- CTS will make finished products valued at over $125 000, ,0O0
 Many attempts have been made to produce raw silk in this country As early as 1923 mulberry trees were re- quired to be planted by all settlers in Virginia, and some silk was grown in the early days of the colony. In the second quarter of the last century the cultivation of silk seemed to give promise of success, but the enterprise degenerated into speculation in Chi nese mulberry trees, and ended in ut ter failure. The recent experiments of the department or agriculture are again directing attention to the prac- ticability of raising on our own farms share at least of this material, which forms so considerable part of our imports.
 During recent years the importation of raw silk has increased almost con- tinuously, until in the fiscal year just closed it amounted to over S50,000,000. The nearest approach to this value was in 1900 when forty-flye and one-third millions of dollars worth was im- ported.

CHRISTMAS GREETINGS.

Tomorrow the Christian world recognizes the day upon which the Christ was born. In the lowly surroundings of a manager in the village of Bethlehem, which is near to Jerusalem, in the year from which our calendar is dated, the child Jesus was born of humble percentage. Wise men of the East, noting the ap- pearance of the new star in the Armament of the heavens, fol- lowed it's guiding rays to the birthplace of the Savior. The angels, too, descended and in spirit voice sang sweet initial Christmas carols, glorifying God and blessing man.
 But train of centuries have come and gone since this com mencement of the Christian era, carrying in their wake a better and more enlightened civilization, imbuing mankind with higher ambitions and crowning his eff forts with more glorious achieve ments. Through all this march of years the observance of Christ mas day has never ceased, and while the Dark Ages clouded it's sanctity with barbarian revelry, excesses and superstition, the hallowed day has been freed of these barnacles of medieval origin.
 The sacrifice of the Son of Man in taking upon himself hu- man frailties, though a divine being, has determined the char acter of it's observance. 'Tis a day of charity and a work of love, which would commemorate Christmas. False barriers of society and wealth are torn down. Human selfshness gives way, while the wants and needs of our fellowman are considered. The whole world seems more nearly akin upon this festive day.
 And while the mind is consid- crate of others and the heart urges liberality, let not the poor and destitute be neglected. The giving of gifts, while a custom from which we would not de- tract, is narrow indeed, unless it includes those from whom we may expect no exchange. But the returns of such giving are the richest in that they are awarded by a being from within, which uplifts and makes stronger the donor,
 The Independent will issue TO edition tomorrow, and extends it's hope for merry Christmas to each reader.
