write few words for publication,
We are located in the north
west part of New Mexico, near
the Texas line, in the famous
Pecos Valley, six and a half
miles from Portales. This coun.
try has an elevation Of about four
thousand feet above sea level.
The land is covered with mos
queit grass and small mosqueit
trees, or grubbs as we call them,
which are some three or four feet
high and make splendid wood
when taken out of the ground.
We have pleasant winters here,
with the exception of the hard
wind. There is no rain and
scarcely ever snow.
The land is a sandy loam and
we grow kaffir corn, milo maze
cane, some cotton, wheat and
oats, peanuts, beans, melons and
garden stuffs. Potatoes do we'll
here.
This is q healthy country for
most people,. The water is fine,
and we have good churches and
schools for a newly settled coun-
try. The price of land is going
up all the time, and is now worth
from ten to thirty dollars per
acre.
