The Socorro chieftain. [volume] (Socorro, N.M.) 1902-1959, 1908-09-26

The Agricultural Exhibit.
An inspection of the agricul-
tural exhibit could lead to the
only possible conclusion that
Socorro county's possibilities in
the matter of the production of
fruits and vegetables are very
little known at home and of
course not at all known abroad.
The display must have been a
revelation to some people who
have lived in the county for
years. They would not have
thought it possible to grow fruit
and vegetables of such size and
quality in the Rio Grande valley
or else where in Socorro county.
The Mineral Exhibit.
The mineral exhibit was col
lected by Capt. c. II. Brown,
displayed by Prof. A. X. Adams
with the assistance of several
students, and credited to the
New Mexico School of Mines.
In fact, portion of it came
from the School of Mines cab
met. 1t represented practically
every mining camp and every
variety of ore produced in the
county. 1t is doubtful whether
a larger or better collection OF
ores was ever made in the couu-
ty or, for that matter, in the ter
ritory. The collection will be
on exhibition next week at the
Irrigation congress in Albuquer-
que.

WEDNESDAY, THIRD DAY.
Wednesday morning was de-
voted by the visitors at the fair
to vie wing the exhibits, listen
ing to the excellent music rem
dered by the Santa Fe band, and
attending the baby show and
minor attractions. In the after
noon a good crowd of fans as
sembled to witness what proved
to be hard fought game of ball
between Socorro and Carthage.
The score:
Carthage 0 5000 0 l 0 90
Socorro- 10 200 20 II
Batteries-Lopez and Edwards
for Carthage, Thorsen and
Huckabay for Socorro.
The game was for blood from
the start and the finish was
thrilling enough to set the grand
stand wild with enthusiasm.
Carthage ran her score up to six
in her half of the ninth inning,
leaving Socorro one point to the
bad. Things looked Squally for
Socorro. At a critical moment,
however, when two men were
down and one on base, Thorsen
smashed the ball clear over
against the fence for a home run
and the game was won for So
corro.
