The representatives of New Mex
leo are unanimous in the conviction
tina never in the history of New Mex
leo has her products and her varied
enterprises, her possibilities and her
opportunities been placed so forcibiy
before the public as at the land and
irrigation exposition, just closed in
the city of Chicago. Several things
account for his splendid result, but
all are agreed that the largest share
of the credit is due to H. B. Hening of
the bureau of immigration of New
Mexico, at Albuquerque, who not only
planned every detail of New MeXico's
part in the exposition, but who did
much in organizing and arranging the
several parts of this exhibit into one
foreible presentation of New MeXico's
agricultural progress. A word of
credit is also due the representatives
of the several sections of n new
state. Carlsbad sent up e. e. Hart
shorn, with her cotton. potatoes, al
falfa seed and what not; Roswell sent
along Messrs. J. s.. Kerley and Fred
JoIley, with an exhibit of apples and
alfalfa second to none; Artesia had
A. c. Keinath with more apples, al

Smith and f.. r. Alldredge and an ex-
