Economise In The Use
OF Water.
tSanta Fe New fiexican. !


DR.. A. C. True, director of the
office of experiment stations of
the department of agriculture, in
his address at the Irrigation
Congress, was quite right when
he said that the farmer from the
east who settles under ditch
does not know when nor how to
apply the water to his soil But
he might have added that many
of the older settlers are euqally
as ignorant upon the subject and
in consequence one may see in
New Mexico and other arid COM
monwealths a great waste of
water and large areas of water
logged soil where the application
of too much water has leached
alkali to the surface. Continued
DR.. True:
Taking the country as whole
however, and looking at the arid
region from national standpoint
economy in water is more impor-
tant. The highest estimate of
the area which can be served by
the available water supply is
about 10 per cent of the total
area, while the more conserva-
tive students of the arid region
place it at 5 per cent. All admit
that the water supply is the lin.
iting factor in the development
of the West. 1t follows then
that every reduction in the guam
thy used upon a given area
makes possible a corresponding
increase in the area which can De
reclaimed. The quantity OF wat
er actually used by plants in the
process of growth is very small,
as compared to the quantities
divirted from streams for use in
irrigation, and it may be possible
to decrease this quantity by
breeding drouth resistant crop
but this does not offer very
large opportunity for saving on
account of the small quantity
required by sny plants. But in
order that plants may secure
their supply it is necessary TO

Seven Hundred Fools.
Roosevelt County Herald.l


Is that too pointed? Well,
what would you call those seven
hundred people who left Roswell
and other points down the Pecos
Valley because, forsooth, some
body said that somebody else
said that some prophet some
where, perhaps in New York,
had prophesied that the Pecos
Valley was going to sink some
time between the 4th and 18th
just past? And those seven hum
dred were not all negroes either.
A good lady above the average
intelligence who was so journing
in Artesia claimed that she felt
two samll earthquake shocks
Wednesday 4th. When she was
laughed out of court by those to
to whom she related this Won
derful experience, she insisted
that such a thing was possible!
Yes? Possible that any scien-
tific man who is worthy of the
name or the trust-worthiness of
being called a prophet would
have good reasons to believe that
a seismatic disturbance in volving
the lives of so many thousands
of people was about to occur and
not warn then over his own
signature or at least give the
people some hint as to who he
was, where he lived and on what
he was basing his conclusions?
Preposterous! In our judgement
it was a clever real estate
knock. :" But just how any
one except ignorant negroes and
fools could be scared out of their
wits by a prophecy about which
