INTERESTING LETTERS
FROM THE .PECOS VALLEY

"The Earth published at Chicago

Der issue publishes number of let
ters from prominent Roswell people
the first of the series being from r.
F. Barnett, who puts apples first as
a profitable crope in the Pecos Val
ley. His letter was as follows:
ITO show you wnat l think of the
Pecos Valley as a farming country,
/ will briefly recite my experience in
that line of work. 1 came here from
Cherokee Nation, Indian Territory,
twenty years ago. After two years
started farming. Twelve years ago
bought 100 acres of raw land two
miles east of Roswell. The following
year l set out forty acres of orchard,
and the rest in alfalfa. Afterward
l secured enough alfalfa land to
make my hay field 120 acres. Altho'
the alfalfa paid from the start, 1 con-
slider apples the best paying crop in
the Pecos Valley, for it was only for
two years that the orchard did not
receipts are remarkable. At the age
of nine years my orchard paid me

the second best crop of the Valley
and have made good money every |
year from my alfalfa fields.
0Signed) r. F. BARNETT.
From Cattleman to Farmer.
Editor of the Earth:
Arriving in the Pecos Valley in i,
1884, 1 went into the cattle business. |
1t was not until seven years ago that
/ realized what 1 was missing by not
farming, but when l saw what could
be made at farming, 1 secured a place
north of town and began to till the |
soil. I point to my country home, |
one of the most beautiful in the Pc
COS Valley, as an indication of the
success l have made.
For large farming, apples and al
falfa are the crops to make money.
But any crop will grow mere. and !
if cared for on the plan of "small [
farming" I have some apple trees |
per tree. That is allowing 50 per tree
for boxes and picking and 81 per year
for irrigating and spraying, which is
very liberal. With eighty of these
trees to the acre it is easy to compute
the sum of $3.50 per acre as net pro-
ceeds from the orchard. And that
does not include the feed that l raise |
in my orchard in the shape of Indian
and Kaffir corn and Brown Dura. For
six years have raised as good Indian
corn as 1 raised all the time l was
farming in Cass county, Missouri, be-
fore coming here.
My alfalfa pays well and I know
from experience that alfalfa will pay
ten per cent on an investment of |
$3.50 per acre.
Too many of us have too much |
land. That is the only fault with the
Pecos Valley farmers. They do not |
get the value out of the land. Small |
farming and produce raising will |
some day show that the Pecos Val
ley is a garden of Eden in its pro-
ductiveness. Brown Dura is easily |
raised and makes splendid chicken
feed. With ten or twelve dozen chick |
ems and Brown Dura for feed. mani

eggs not only pay for everything |
get at the grocery. but the account
is often overbalanced in my favor.
And I have good sized family. too. |

CANADIAN TRADE is LARGE.
Transactions With Neighbors on North
1902 999.213 Last Year

Washington, March 26.-Trade of
the United States with Canada in the
fiscal year 1905 aggregated $500, 1893, 213,
against sS9,429.096 in 1885, according
to a bulletin issued by the department
OF commerce and labor. 1t shows that
in the twenty years from 1875 to 1895,
our trade with Canada increased s27,-
100000 and from 1895 to 1905, it in
creased s114.000,00o. The larger por-
tion Of this growth has been on the
export side. The imports increased
from $27.S67,615 in 1875 to $50, 46s.632
in 1905. and exports advanced from
$S4,54z219 in 1875 to s14O,52s,5s in
1905.
"This rapid growth in trade relations
with Canada" says the bulletin, sis es-
pecially interesting in view of the
varying conditions to which commerce
with Canada has been subjected. Dur.
ting the period from 1855 to 1866 a re-
.eiprocity treaty was in force between
Canada and the United States, bll in
the latter year it was terminated. so

no VOTE ON RATE BILL.
Effort Will be Made to Fix Specified
Dav

Washington, March 27.-There was
q hint in the senate yesterday at an
effort to fix time for final vote on
the railroad rate bill, but it was sur
rounded by so much circumstance and
doubt that no prediction as to the time
would be justified. Mr.. Tillman stated
that he would bring the matter up in
the senate today and unless OBJ
lection was then made he may ask to
have a day specified
The suggestion as to time arose in
connection with the more or less SER
ious effort on the part of a number of
senators to secure immediate consider
alton of amendments offered by them
selves. Mr.. Tillman resisted all at
tempts of that kind in the absence of
many senators, saying that votes ought
not be taken without full notice to sem
ators. Among the provisions offered
were: BY Mr.. Foraker, prohibiting
the issuance of passes; by Mr.. Scott,
compelling railroads to connect with
other railroads, and Mr.. Culberson, de-
nying to interstate roads the privilege
OF making campaign contributions.
Mr.. Overman made general speech
in support of the bill and Mr.. Teller
spoke at length against undue haste
in considering the question.
C. j. Adams was confirmed as post
master at Reinbeck at the executive
session.

HOUSE STILL ECONOMICAL.
Now Turns Its Attention to Public
Printing.

Washington March 27.-Following
the presidents suggestion. the house
yesterday passed several resolutions to
correct the useless printing of public
documents. and to empower the print
ing committee of the two legislative
bodies to fix the number of documents
to be printed and should the demand
arise for additional copies of publ
cation. then to have authority to order
another edition. 1t was claimed this
action would result in saving the gov
eminent upwards of $1.000,000 annual
iy. Nearly the entire day was devoted
to District of Columbia business, this
being known as District day" Upon
the completion of the bills having only
a district interest, large number of
bills local in character were passed.
The Notifications appropriation bill
was sent to conference with Messrs.

IS CONVENTION VALID?
PerpIexing Questions Agitate the
Minds Of Hamilton County Republic


cans.
Des Moines, March 26.-A dispatch
from Webster City raises the question
of whether the Hamilton county re-
publican convention held there on
March 20, is valid, owing to no call
having been issued by the state CEN
trail committee. 1t is possible that it
may have to be held over again. In
case it is not held over, will the Per-
kins faction here send a contesting
delegation to the state convention? In
order to avoid a possibility of con-
testing delegation, will the Cummins
faction. which named the delegates at
the regular convention, really call the
membership of the convention together
again and go all over the former work
of naming delegations and adopting
resolutions?
These and similar questions are agi-
tating the minds of the republicans of
Hamilton county, because very slight
whisper has been heard from the Per-
kins element, barely limiting at the pos
sibility of a contesting delegation to
the state convention. But since the
matter has been more or less talked
oNel, tHe POSSIBILITY Oh grave Sltua-
ton is seen. The whisper heard from
the Perkins faction is to this effect:
"The state convention has not yet even
been called. yet the Hamilton county
convention has been held. There hav-
ing been no state call issued by the
state central committee, how did Ham
ilton county know (offically) how
many delegates she was entitled to?
Or how did she even know at all (offi-
cially) that there was going to be

Woman'S Weakness
It.a National Observation-Disclosures.

tea National AffIiction.-Wheeler.
Diseases of the nervous system are
said to be the most common of all
human ills. Nervousness, sleeplessness.
weakness, and exhausted nerve vitality
are common to all. The young, middle
aged and old are alike affected and
afflicted
Woman is probably more susceptible
to nervous ills than man, because of
her more delicate organism 1t is also
true that she responds more promptly
to treatment, and it is also regretable
fact that she is more apt to neglect
her ills no doubt because she is accus-
toned to patient endurance of physical
suffering. This neglect leads to COM
plications during the turning point in
her life that terminates in the most
pitiable physical suffering and mental
anguish. 1t is estimated that this is
the fate of seven out of every ten
American women passing thru that
critical period of life.
Intelligent treatment at the proper
time is changing the lives of thous-
ands of women every year from gloom
to happiness. Wheeler's Nerve Vital
izer has probably contributed more to
the elimination of suffering among
women than any preparation ever dis
covered. 1t contains what the nerves
need, that which has been exhausted
from them by years of hard work, dis
sipation, excuses, worry, and family
cares, and the nerves greedily absorb
these much needed properties when
liberated in the stomach. The delight
full and hopeful change is noticeable
at once; sleep is profound and refresh
ing, the intellect becomes clear, organic
functions are stimulated to healthy ac-
tion and hope and happiness are
clearly manifested in every feature and
movement. The following letter ex-
plains more intelligently the great
value of this preparation:
"For eighteen years I suffered with
nervous prostration, so severe that the
least noise or excitement would pros
trate me. This was aggravated by sick
headaches lasting for days; sleep was
simply impossible. I could get no re-
lief from the doctors. G. w. Cation,
druggist, recommended DR.. Wheeler's
Nerve Vitalizer. 1t proved to be mar
vel; my headache was overcome, re-
freshing sleep comforted my exhausted
nerves, my general health continued to
improve until was completely cured"

washington, March 27.-When the
smoot hearing was resumed yesterday
A. S. Worthington, attorney for the
Utah senator, began introducing testi-
mony for the defense. The most inn
portallt witness was Professor James
n. Linford, president Of the Brigham
Young college of Logan, who, under
cross examination was forced to admit
he believed in polygamy.
Professor Linford was asked whether
he believed in polygamy, the principle
of plural marriage. He said that MS
belief in the principle did not extend to
the practice of the principle under
present conditions
THAT does not answer my question,
said Mr.. Carlisle.

duction of a 1903 edition of the Sunday
school, song-book that America and
s"The Star -Spangled Banner" We're adj
ded to the books since the investiga-
zion began.
Professor Linford testified that Pro-
lessor Walter M. Wolfe had not been
dismissed from the college and the
church because of failure to pay his
titllintg as me had said on the stand.
The dismissal, said Professor Linford,
had been because of continued intoxi-.
cation.
