STILL AT CARLSBAD.

town in the hesh,-but our notion cd

and Imagination to drift for a week.
While at Carlsbad, Col. w. H. Null
Ian lent us a Navajo blanket and
we slept for three night in the open
air; hence there is no telling wnen
we shall run out of atmosphere. By
the way, we like that man Mullane.

manner-but there is no ~pretension

Or not, and the label is not tuck on
the surface with paste-it is blown

d the prettiest towns of New Mexi-
co. II there be sand, there is also
the river and sky, hills and trees, to

level prospect. However, it is alfalfa,
and not scenery, that makes fat
cattle.
This reminds US hat the farmers of
the lower valley are making an effort
to secure a creamery at Carlsbad. Mr..
Hove, the leader of the movement,
learn that the people of Roswell did

the gold mine they already possess
In having a creamery. While there is

he mad been informed that the Ros-
well creamery had to ship nearly all
dts cream from points north and
south. The farmers around Roswell
should wake UP to the golden oppor-

A. H. Kent, organizer and former
cashier If the Dayton bank, was in
charge of the Dayton exhibit at
Carlsbad. He informed US that the
Dayton Orchard and Nursery Co. this
year threshed 1000 bushels of vol
unteer oats that yielded 60 bushels
per acre. Sixty bushels of oats to the
here without sowing would seem to
break all records. He had n stool"
OF oats five feet in height, with 125
stalks In the stool, which we under

Dayton also exhibited alfalfa, second
crop OF this year, in bales-and,
Blending the useful and the beautiful,
had some fine specimens from the
two-acre field of roses cultivated by
the Nursery company, besides onions

There were many exhibits to remind
us that so far as farming goes, the
possibilities surrounding Hagerman,
Artesia and other towns, far from
either Hondo or Avalon projects, are
fully equal to the prospects of the
country Immediately surrounding Ros-
well and Carlsbad. WHAT has been
done east of Roswell can be duplicat-
ed in the n~eighborhood of the vii
lagos farther down the valley. The
farmer bores a we'll and controls his
own plant; and the well does not
cost as much as it would to buy a wa

the government irrigation plants.
While the West wears off the cor

teaches men how to work out their
own salvation, it does not harden the
heart nor blunt the finer sensibiities.
