RAISING CROPS WITHOUT
IRRIGATION.

Homeseekers are fast settling
the mesa lands in New Mexico.
It has been discovered that ir.
rigation is not necessary over the
northern half of the territory,

to see the plains around Deming,
alive with successful farmers.
Intelligent cultivation Of the soil
is the secret. II is not wise to
expect too much. but the system

Sugar Beets by Dry Farming

San Miguel county holds the
record Of having produced the
finest sugar bects ever raised in
the United States. No beet
raisers in the west can show
better government analysis than
the ones which have been receiv-
ed from the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture by the
farmers who sent in samples sCv-
eral weeks ago. The percentage
Of sugar and the coefcient of
purity is remarkable and some
Of the reports are higher than
any received by the bureau of
plant industry from the entire
country during the year 1906.
The analysis also proves that
dry farming produces the best
beets. which will make this crop
a popular one in the semi-arid
regions Of NewMeXico Santa Fe

two years, upon hundreds Of
farms have satisfactory crops
been raised by the intense cul-
tivation and culture OF the soil,
although it must be admitted
that in many sections the annual
rainfall for the past two years
has been a little above the aver
age. But a commencement has
been made and the cultivation
Of what was Heretofore known
as the arid lands by the dry cult
ure system will be continued and
extended. and the indications are
very favorable that they will be
successful.
Within the next five years
agriculture and horticulture will
work a wonderful transformation
in this country, and lands that are
today open to entry will be worth
anywhere from $50 to 500 per
acre. This has been done in many
places in New Mexico and this
