TOBACCO CULTURE.
S. {. Edmunds Writes a Letter on
Tobacco Raising in New Mexico,
THINKS WELL OF RIO GRANDE VALLEY.
From Louisville (Ky.) Times.

From Louisville (Ky.) Times.
s. K. Edmunds. who formerly lived
in Louisville, where he was the repre-
sentative of the Drummond Tobacco
company of st. Louis, is at present at
Albuquerque, N. NJ, where he is gen.
eral manager of a company of capital
lists who propose to engage in the
manufacture of the various tobacco
prospects for the business in New
Mexico. Mr.. Edmunds was born on a
tobacco raising farm n worked in
the field as a boy. Since 1873 he has
been prominently connected with the
tobacco business in Louisville and st.
Louis, and, having handled and cured
millions of pounds of the e he is
we'll qualified to judge the prospects
for the business in New Mexico. He
writes, under date of May rs, to Louis
vile friends. as follows:
1T would likely be of interest to a
good many Kentucky people to know
something of the effort being made by
New Mexico to introduce the cultiva-
ton OF tobacco in the territory. a
company was formed April l of this
year at Albuquerque. to raise n
manufacture. 1t is composed of some
of the most prominent and wealthiest
men in New Mexico. A dozen plant
beds were sown between April land 10
and forty acres of very desirable land
five miles from the city of Albuquer-
que were secured. A thorough test
will be made OF the following var
ieties, Kentucky Burley. Virginia
Prior, Connecticut seed leaf, Havana.
Sumatra and Turkish. Ten acres have
been transplanted, and the remaining
thirty acres will be set within the
next ten days. The ground selected
is d rich sandy loan situated in the
Rio Grande valley, twenty to forty
miles wide, extending the entire
length of the Rio Grande. Every foot
of this valuable land can be irrigated
and it will produce anything in great
abundance. All crops are raised en-
tirely by irrigation, as rain seldom
falls. These lands can now be pur.
chased at from s25 to $50. predict
they will be worth 5000 per acre II
less than ten years. High canal ant
bitches run all over this beautiful val
lev. The water rent ranges from Sl.5'
10 $3.50 per acre for Ian in cultlva
ton. There is no trouble about weed
and grass the lands only produce h
is put into them, and the cultivation
can be done almost entirely with tn
pillow, eliminating working with IN
hoe. Tobacco or horn worms are Sc
dom ever seen. There are no rains U
give a second growth to the Tobacco
or wash away the gum, and the sea
sons being long. there is no DANCE
of frost. Two crops can be raise
q year on the same land and the sam
stalk. The experiments made here D
a farmer from Greensboro, KY, sho'
that an acre will produce over 800
pounds one crop. IL only took f'oo
plants to produce 5000 pounds
cured tobacco.
"In order to prevent the TOBACCO
plants from growing too coarse an
rank it will be necessary to plant ver
close, about twice as many plants pc
acre AS in Kentucky. I see no reaso
why the very finest grades OF n "
riety of tobacco cannot be successful

new COAL FIELDS.
Twenty-Five Hundred Acres Located
in Valencia County.
CORPORATIONS BACK OF SCHEME.

At the United States land office in
Santa Fee, as stated in official notices.
w. ". Houser Of Denver. as attorney
IT. fact. filed eleven coal %declaratiry
statements for 800 acres each in the
southwestern portion of Valencia coun.
ty, about ten miles north of the So
zorro line and about fifteen miles east
of the Arizona line. About thirty more
coal d~eclaratory statements were
offered by him, but were not filed by
the officials of the land office, there
being several errors and inaccuracies
in them. 1t is presumed that Mr..
Houser will return shortly with these
declaratory statements corrected and
will file them on the quarter sections
In townships 4 and 5 north of ranges
II, IS and 19 west containing coal. 1t
is presumed that Mr.. Houser is acting
in the interests of parties connected
either with the Phelps, Dodge and
Company people. The locality in
question is about fifty miles north of
the Datil range in Socorro county
also north of the Mogollon range and
northeast of the headwaters of the
ella river and its tributaries. The
! section is about fifty miles south of
the Santa Fe Pacific railroad. Rail
communication could be established
from that point or from S~olomonville
on the Southern Pacific railroad in
Arizona. 1t would be quite an en-
cheering problem to reach these coal
fields from the south, which the
Phelps, Dodge and company people
would have to do. However, they
might run a railroad line up the ella
river to it's west fork and then creep
up on the mesas, striking these Goa
fields about forty miles from the
river. The fields are quite extensive
and are shown on all land Office maps
and those of the geological survey. II
seems that this part of western New
Mexico is destined to have railroad
communication much quicker than is
expected.
