THE FRUIT CROP is
NOT THOUGHT DAMAGED

1t has been thought by many that
owing to the warm weather we lave
had in the Pecos Valley ever since
the big storm in November, that the
fruit buds would swell and be damag-
ed during some of the cold nights.
A Record representative had a talk
with Colonel Parker Earle, yesterday,
and asked him in regard to this mat
ter.
Col. Earle said hat he had been in
his orchard every day for weeks, prun
ming, and had examined many buds,
but had seen no i~ndidaction of theI
swelling, except in the case of some
of the plums. The harder fruits, as
apples, pears and peaches, were not,
he thought, damaged by the weather
we had had, unless they had been in
jured by the extremely cold weather
of last November, he saw no indica-
tons of the warm weather bringing
them out enough to be damaged by
the cold nights we might expect.

Iron Company in Sandoval County.
Mr.. Hopewell is of the opinion that
Texas capitalists with whom he has
been in consultation for some time
will take hold of the building of the
connection between Torrance, the
terminus of the Santa Fe Central
Railway and Roswell thence extend
ing this line to Fort Worth, Texas,
thence to me with the railway
system now in course of construction
from Fort Worth via a Antonio to
Victoria and hence to McCOnnelPS
port on the Gulf. This system will
in all be about 900 miles il length
and if the plans now under c~onsidera-
ton are carried into effect will give
Santa Fe and central New Mexico one
Of the best and most direct lines to
tide water. Mr.. Hopewell is sanguine
that these plans will a k tangible
shape before long.

vigorous, progressive, arr intelligent

terial improvements and does not con
fuse economy with parsimo7y. These
people spend money to make money,
and they spend money to better the
conditions of living. The splendid
roads round Roswell. Like the two
Score miles of cement sidewalks in
the little city of 64O0 souls, shame an
Ell Pasoan.
We have hardly began to realize
the natural advantages, here il Ell
Paso. We have not got our ideas
keyed up to the pitch justified by
what we hav inherited. Here in this
valley we nave the materials to make
the finest agricultural region in the
United States. We have the climate
and the soil, and the water will come.
But even then, nature will await the
trained farmer, the man who works
out his problems with the intelligence
of a skilled engineer and the practic-
al foresight of the successful manu-
f~acturer or merchant.
There is much we can do, yer be-
fore the big water comes down from
the dam. First of all, we can and
must build good roads up and down
and across the valley. We must open
easy communication from one end to
the other, and to every part. We can
plant trees, and AVE some beautiful
vitaS and such as surround
Roswell in every direction. We can
~beautify our city, and provide attrac-
lions for capital and capitalists. All
this in preparation for the coming of
the big water.

SAYS SALTON SEA DOES

FNOI ] t.
In regard to the statements made
many times, recently, that the forma-
ton of the Salton Sea a affected
the climate of California, Arizona and
New Mexico, H. E. Williams, acting
chief engineer of the United States
Weather Bureau, has issued the follow
ing statement:
AN investigation of the supposed
influence OF Saltoa Sea on the rainfall
of h far southwest has cen mad
by the Weather Bureau officials with
the following results:
1.-THE claim that the heavy rainfall
of the last two years is directly attri-
butable to the presence of Salton Sea
fails of substantiation. First, because
heavy rains began in Arizona and in
Southern California in January, 1905,
and continued until April of that year
thus antedating by several months
the creation of a large body of water
in Salton sink; second, because of the
insufficiency of Salton sea to produce
the observed rainfall. In Arizona
alone the excess of rain in 1905 was
about 12 times the total quantity OF
water held in Salton sea. The evapo
ration from hat body of water, grant
ing that all the water thus taken in
to the air was condensed and precl
Rtated to the earth, could not by any
possible means have produced ever
a small fraction of the observed rain
fall.
1.-The explanation offered by the
weather bureau as to the great a
fall of 1905 is that it was due tt
| general rather than local causes, a.
evidenced by the act that heavy
rains occurred across the contine1'
from Florida to southern California
thence northeastward to the uppel
Mississippi valley, including eastern
Titan, all of the Rocky mountain state:
| except Montana and all of the plain!
states, including Arkansas, Missouri
| and Iowa"

ONE OF THE BEST
SECTIONS OF THEuNIQN.


The recent visitors from FL Paso,
who came to the Pecos Valley in con-
nection with the proposed road to
FL Paso were much impressed with
the valley, aid were enthusiastic in
its praises while here. To show that
they nave not forgotten what they
saw here. is evidenced by the follow
ing editorial in the Ell Paso Herald.
the editor of which paper was one
of the party visiting Roswell.
To get an idea of what the Ell
Paso Valley will look like eight or ten
years from now. one need only go
to the neighborhood of Roswell, n.
NJ. Here. in a region perhaps Is by
20 miles. lies one of the richest and
most beautiful agricultural districts
in the United States. 1t is a country
of living streams and artesian water,
supplemented by scientific storage of
fiood waters for irrigation. The rain
fall is considerably larger tnan here.
the altitude is almost as great, and
the latitude some degrees further to
the north.

THE SIZE OF FARMS.
They Should be Smaller Rather Than
Larger for Best Results.


The American farmer has always
hade before him the temptation to
grasp a large noun of land. This
is not surprising when we consider
what his education has bee 1T has
been seven or more generations since
our ancestors settled in this country
and during all of that time the de-
%scendants OF the old settlers have had
the thirst for land bred into them.
This was because in the beginning of
the development of this country land
was very easily obtained, and the
themselves was to get possession of
large tracts of land.
But today the new conditions are in
conflict with the tendency to own land
for the mere sense of owning it. Be
fore a nan buys more and he should
first sit down and consider whether
he can use that land, says Farmers
Review. He should also consider
more carefully the question of wheth-
er ne can not more fully use the land
~ Aip'" NNy
of families that are made miserable
by the possession of too much land.
A man known to the writer had 80
acres of land located within a few
miles of a thriving town. He had
only himself and wife to provide for,
and found it hard to get help even
Il take care of the so acres. But ne
had always owned a farm of a half
squar mile in area, and ne was mis-
cradle on his little piece of 80 acres
His wife wanted to stay there, for she
had been overworked on the big farm.
But he insisted on selling the nice lit
tie farm, and then moved to the city
while waiting to get hold of a big
farm. What the country needs is a
large number of welltilled small farms
ers and fewer hired men. 1t can
a solution of the hired help problem.
1t means more families in a township
and hat too of families that own the
LAND on which they are located. Such
make the best citizens in the world.
Such people thrill WIN the uellSnlS
of ownership. They are a help to the
communities. Their children do not
have to rush to the cities to make a
living. More farms means much bet
ter schools. 1t e more electric
lines running here and there over the
country; for the electric lines go
where populations are sufficiently
dense to insure them patronage. If
the American farmer does not get
down to this idea the foreigner will
take his land. The foreigner comes
in from his little piece of land in
Europe. He has been accustomed
there to farm intensively a little piece
of territory. He takes a small piece
here and is c%ontented with it. He
works, and his family work. They
have no hired help problem. They
soon own the land on which the
American farmer was lord, but on
which he nae a mortgage. The thirst
for mere ownership of land is a thirst
that can no longer be gratiied with
out the danger of losing wen the land
necessary for the support of the farm
er'S family.
