j. G. Dunn, who has been ap-
pointed as a mem Der of the board
of control, of the 10th Irrigation
congress which meets in Albu-
querque in September 1908, re-
ceived a letter this week urging
him to arrange for committees
to assemble exhibits of agricul-
ture, horticulture, mining and
livestock and also asks if there
are not some here who will offer
cups or cash prizes for various
exhibits at this congress. This
will be one of the greatest op-

April l to July 81. This estab-
fishes the minimum capacity of
a pumping plant to take care of
a given acreage. Assuming 30
acre-inches as an average annual

I acre inches per month for the
average crop. On this basis,
each pump Of 1000 gallons a
minute capacity run at full cap
acity "a hours day during those
months, will take care Of 300
acres. On the same basis the
same pumping plant would take
care of 300 acres in the month
of March run Il hours a day and
in the month of February run
10 hours a day for eight days;
July irrigation OF 300 acres with

SURE TO PAY.
These figires are all based
upon actual experience and
average requirements; yet to be
perfectly safe one may double
the capacity Of the plant or, in
other words, provide a pumping
plant of 1000 gallons a minute
capacity for each $50 acres, and
yet, as above demonstrated,
make the proposition pay gen.

JUDGE SHERRY RANCH SOLD
5000 Paid by a ISuns Man From

NEW OWNER LIKES THE COUNTRY

Eli Winesett, of Galx, Va, has
bought the Judge Sherry ranch
for $4,000.
This is another indication of
the increased and permanent
values that have come to the
land surrounding this city, not
long ago this farm was consider
ed hardly worth the filing fee
as indeed was all the land in
the valley. Now scarcely a day
but new land deal is made and
each time the price is a little
higher than the time before.
Mr.. Winesett is a well-to-do
young man from Virginia who
has the money to improve the
place he has purchased and is
looking for more land. He eX-
poets to put out about 20 acres
of fruit trees and 10 acres of al
falfa. Every man of this char
acter who lands here increases
the land values permanently.
Mr.. Winesett has travelled
much, having rode in bicycle
races all over California, Oregon,
Washington and British Colum-
bia and having managed Bob
bic" Walthour, the worlds long
distance champion in Europe
two years; he says that this
country suits him the best of

the old story too, the more a
man has seen of the world the
better he likes this country.

THE GRAND JURY REPORT
Assessor and Superintendent Of Schools
Found Wanting.
IMPROVEMENTS IN CLERKS OFFICE.

To the Hon. Edward A. Mann,
Associate Justice of the supreme
court of the Territory of New
Mexico, and Judge of the sixth
judicial court thereof:
We, your grand jury having
disposed of all of the cases which
have come before US, and acted
upon all crimes and offences
against the laws of the territory,
which have been brought to our
attention, respectfully submit
our final report as follows:
We have found nine (9l "True
Bills" and seven "a mo True
Bills"
We have returned indictments
in all cases, where in our opinion
the evidence produced would Sc
cure u conviction before a trial
jury, and in cases wherein such
WAS not the case, we have re-
turned mo True Bills"
The committees appointed by
the foreman to examine the
books and records of county Off
GERS have reported to us that
they find all of them neatly
kept, and as far as we are able
to Judge, correctly, save the fol-
lowing exceptions, to wit:
The assessors report to the
treasurer for the year 1907 is in
complete, and also, that the
assessor has made no report to
county clerk for 1907.
We also find that the superin-
tendent of schools is absent from
his office with the exception of
one day week, also neglects to
visit the various schools of the
county as required by law. We
suggest that he be required to
attend to his duties as superin-
tendent of schools.
we further suggest that pro-
vision be made in probate clerks
office for the binding and pre-
serving of road surveys and maps.
Would advise that the officers
in Elk Horn District, use every
effort in their power to suppress
the carrying and discharging Of
deadly weapons on the public
highway, as it was not possible
to get evidence enough before
the grand jury to warrant an
indictment.
We wish to acknowledge the
courtesies extended to us by the
court, and also the officers APP
pointed to serve us.
Having completed the work
placed before us, we respectful
ly ask to be discharged.

PUMPING PLAN PROFITABLE
SeVsntyfOur Percent Of Annual Irrlsa.
tlOn In Four Months.
FIGURES BASED ON ACTUAL EXPERIMENT

The following article taken
from a recent issue of the FL
Pasc Herald is equally applicable
in the territory surrounding
AlamOgordO.
There are existing canal sys-
tens alfording irrigation facili-
ties to much of the land in the
Ell Paso valley. But until a
large, permanent diversion dam
is built at the head of the FL
Paso valley similar to that which
has just been completed at the
head of the Mesilla valley, there
will not be enough water avail
able in the Ell Paso valley below
the city of FL Paso to supply
many desirable tracts of rich
land which are too valuable and
too fertile to let lie idle. Pro-
gressive land owners have found
way to make the valley lands
productive even where they are
not supplied permanently with
irrigation water from existing
canal systems.
This method is simply to
pump water from the great un-
derground reservoir which exists
throughout the valley at depth
of 90 to 40 feet, and spread it
over the land by ordinary irriga-
tion methods after lifting it to
the surface. This is no expert
mcnt, for many valley farms
have been successfully develop
ed by means of pumping plants
during long term of years.
The United States government
has made exhaustive studies of
the ground waters Of the Rio
Grande valley and the cost of
raising these waters and apply
ing them to the land for irriga-
tiOn purposes.
WHAT PUMPING WILL DO.
ITO summarize the results of
years of practical experience
and as careful scientific study,
it is stated authoritatively that
wells with a pumping plant Of
1000 gallons per minute capacity,
requiring 20 to 30 horsepower,
will suffice, if run to full cap
acity during the summer period
of maximum use of water, to
irrigate approximately 300 acres
of land. Most irrigators under
this system, however, prefer to
provide about double this amount
of water and power, estimating
that each pump Of 1000 gallons
per minute capacity will take
care of at least 150 acres under
all conditions.
FIRST COST AND OPERATING COST.
Such plant costs about $20OO
and can be run year for $1,000
to $25O0. Assuming that the
first cost and years operation
amount to $50 per acre, it will
Z be seen that the profit on single
years alfalfa crop will easily
pay for the entire first cost OF
operation. Thereafter, the cost
will not exceed So or SO per acre
to operate the plant, which
amount, as elsewhere demon
strated, represents but a small
percentage on the gross product
or the net profits of any crop
taken from the land.
PAYING PROPOSITION.
1T is easy to show that it
would pay any land owner in
the valley-unless he is so situat-
ed as to be absolutely certain OF
obtaining an ample water sup
The Alamogordo news. (Alamogordo, N.M.) 1899-1912, 1908-03-14

pun plhS piouO W piONiNO mo
land with all the irrigation wa
ter necessary. The very first
year he would be able to pay for
his plant and take care of operat-
ing cost, while the second year
the profits on his crops would
not be cut into to any serious
extent by the cost of operating
such a plant.
THE wIsEsT POLICY.
This is without question the
wisest policy for any land own
er to pursue in almost any part
of the valley at the present
time if he would insure the
maximum product and maximum
net profit from his farming
operation during the period that
must elapse before the great
storage reservoir at Elephant
Butte can be completed and an
adequate permanent water sup
ply be assured to him.
PRACTICAL APPLICATION.
In the FL Paso valley a good
many land owners have already
adopted this plan. Judge Leigh
Clark, owning a tract of many
hundreds of acres near Socorro,
16 miles east of FL Paso, has
sunk four wells and is installing
the necessary pumping plant to
provide irrigation water for his
entire tract. Whether he SUBJ
divides his land for sale and un-
dertake to furnish water to the
purchaser, or whether he adopts
a leasing and share system with
guaranteed water supply, he cam
not fail to derive great profit
from the immediate develop
ment of his land and, in addi-
ton, his holdings will rapidly
multiply in value and increase
in productive capacity by reason
of being under active cultiva-
ton.
Charles Bassett, of FL Paso,
another large land owner, has
sunk four wells on his ranch and
is pumping all the water used
for irrigation and making it pay.
Some farmers in the FL Paso
valley, disgusted by failures of
the inadequate local irrigation
system during past years practi-
cally abandoned other forms of
irrigation for u time and con-
fined themselves solely to the
pumping proposition, finding it
at all time absolutely relia Bile
and highly profitable.
THE BASIS OF REASONING.
ut may be interesting to give
in some detail the figures bear
ing on this subject and showing
the amount of water necessary
for irrigating the average farm
during the different months of
the year and the capacity of
wells and pumps required to
take care Of the average crop.
Based on exhaustive investiga-
ton, covering every state in the
west and extending over a long
term Of years, the bureau of ir-
rigation investigations of the
department of agriculture has
fixed upon the following schedule
as showing the average distribu-
tion of irrigation water month
by month for the average irrigat-
ed farm:
January 0; February, 2 per
cent; March, 8 per cent; April,
20 per cent; May, 90 per cent
June, 20 per cent; July, IA per
