spoken OF in the Trumpet last

As told in the Trumpet the WELD

as the hills were eighteen inches
apart and the rows three feet apart
there were $500 hills, or not less
than $4,000 pounds OF sweet pota.

The crop OF So, 900 pounds OF
sweet potatoes, which sell on an
average OF three cents a pound is
worth $4,000. Thus IT an acre OF
Texico dirt produces a crop to the
value OF $4,000, 100 acres OF the

GROWING BROOM CORN IN
EASTERN NEW MEXICO.

Atter visiting several points on
the Santa Fe in New Mexico, and
making close examination OF many
samples OF cor at various points
OF this territory, | am certain that
this country is equal and will aver.
age any brush grown IN Oklahoma,
Kansas or Illinois.
| have had FIVE years experience
in buying and shipping broom corn
in Oklahoma. In FIVE years time
we will see New Mexico become the
first state in the production OF
broom corn.
This will he true Tor the follow.
ing reasons. Broom com is as
staple as cotton as a moneyed crop.
Broom corn can bc raised IN I or s
months as compared to "a OF g ior
cotton. Broom corn is a. certain
a crop here as is any other crop and
in Illinois they are raising It sue
c~esstully on from two hundred to
two hundred and fifty dollar land.
You can be as certain ut a crop
here OF broom corn as YOU can of
kafir or Maize.
II the Illinois, Kansas and Okla.
homa farmers a make "A success
on their high priced land ! So, no
reason why this should not be the
crop tor the farmer to raise here IN
this country OF cheap land and tree
homes.
The farmers here should combine
in communities OF one 10 three
townships and buy a seeder and
baler, which will cost about $3.50
Tor a first class rig without the
power. This can be operated with
a horse power or gasoline engine.
Every farmer IN this territory
should plant from 10 to so acres OF
this crop and then there will be an
abundance OF buyers TO bid all the
crop is worth and the farmer will
get a market and viii reap a reward
for his labors.
The older states which have been
producing this article are gradually
turning their attention in other
lines and are diversiiying and rails.
ing alfalfa and grains together with
fine stock.
We are general purchasing
agents Tor some OF the largest
broom factories in the north and
east and a pay the highest price
when the corr is ready ior market.
The Santa Fe people have made
a very satisfactory rate out OF this
territory to the north and asst and
this will be an advantage 10 the
producer.
My advice 10 ;he farmers OF New
Mexico Is TO investigate the above
facts and prepare 10 make this the
FIRST state in the union IN the pro.
duction OF this staple article.

Bryan the ~Exterminator

William Jennings Bryan wen,
into business as an exterminator
in 1896 and has stuck to it ever
since. He got after the ''goldbugs'
that year and announced that he
would exterminate the whole pesky
spc7ics by copious applications oil
his celebrated tree silver powder.
He announced his program in a
speech in Albany, n. Y, August
as, 1896, in the following terms;
The Democratic party has
begun . war OF determination
against the gold standard.
We ask no quarter, we give
no quarter. We shall prose.
cute our warfare until there is
lot an American citizen who
dares to advocate the gold
standard.
The war OF determination"
which followed that heroic utter.
ance was the most gorgeous free
amusement entertainment ever or
ganized in America. In every
town where the show appeared Mr..
Bryan rode in the street parade
and took part in two performances
in the big tent every day, He ex.
terminated several millions OF
gold bugs at each performance
and speedily drove every other
circus out OF business. The show
drew enormous crowds everywhere
The funny clowns delighted the
children, the tlght.rope acts OF the
daring artists specially engaged"
astonished all beholders and the
owner OF the show himself per.
formed various antics on his fam.
Gus trick mule Democracy"
which alone was considered we'll
worth the price OF admission.
The show ended its season in
November after a severe frost, but
with money in bank and hope still
strong in its owners heart. Then
after the big red band wagon, the
gaudy trappings and the resi- oil
the outfit had been carefully stored
away in winter quarters, some in
quisitive person away back east
impertinently inquired But,
after all, what did the Great Ex-
termination exterminate1" To
which the ring.master replied,
Why, the Democratic party,
OF course"

Fred Bush OF the Silver City En-.
terprise is making a hot climat,
advertisement out OF the tact thai
the Gulch City has a citizen, Senor
Pedro Melendo, who was born in
1909, and is therefore now in his
10th year. That is going some,
but | neither begrude Freddie his
climate moi Pedro his age. No
sounding praise can exaggerate the
splendid climate OF Grant county
or Justify such a hanging on as
that OF Pedro. No man has a RICH,
to rattle around in the pan OF time
so long, according to my way OF
thinking. The Bible fixes the prop.
er limit at three score years and
ten, and occasionally as a badge OF
honor it is allowed a man to live a
couple OF decades beyond that, but
to stretch the stay as long as Ped
70 has is positively irreligious. |
don't want any ot it in mine. II
would be pleasant to live eighty
years more in Carlsbad from ia ST
one point OF view, to see the devel.
opment OF the town, but that is all.
II would be a irving thing to see
the friends OF this decade drop by
the wayside one by one, to part
with the few knockers that now
keep up a CHEEKY anvil chorus and
TO put 'dobes on the graves Of sun
dry scalawags who now keep life
from being wholly a grind. Ros.
well is the best town on earth, but
| don't want any such p~rotracted
stay in mine. When | get to the
point where | can't do more work
than any other two men OF my heft,
so that ! cant laugh with my
friends who are merry, throw my
arm around the poor devil in
trouble, and whoop things up gen.
orally tor the good OF the land, |
want to quit-and quitting is not
ordinarily a distinguished feature
OF mine either. II is simply time
to quit when YOU get so old that
you cant help to make the world
better and filter to live in and
when that time comes to me, | want
permission TO hike over the range.
No 40 for the Tenderfoot unless |
can hold nv snap, ginger and
skub,f1um every minute OF the

HANDFULS OF SORTS.

You don't have to pull of a grea,
big county fair to get a part OF the
benefits, and Carlsbad is within
the path OF wisdom, in arranging
tor that chicken show that will be
pulled OF this winter. The grea,
American hen is greatest out here
IN the dry wetness. She is coy,
uncertain, hard to please most any.
where, and a little more so here,
where people are used TO taking
care OF the great American COW by
turning her loose on the range. II
is a good thing for the country that
