Although superintendent A. p.
Stroup, OF Exhibition hall at Traction
park. had only three or four weeks IN
which to work up the agricultural
fair exhibit, the results have proved
more satisfactory than expected. me
exhibits of farm products at the hal
form a striking object lesson. They
show more forcibly than volumes that
New Mexico, with and without irriga-
ton. can produce fruits and vegeta-
bles second to none in the west.
New Mexico IS in the not far dis
tant future TO become a land of small
farmers The hame-seekers. are flock
ing into the eastern part OF the ter
rftory and the tide Is setting toward
the great Rio Grande valley, whefe
there are thousands and thousands OF
sauare miles Of LAND that VIII soon be
made to blossom by the magic touch
of the acequia. The Rernalillo couh-
tv exhibits prove conclusively that the
limit of the agricultural possibilities
