Two crops that have been given very little attention
up to the present time apples and sugar bees Inc
beets raised in the valley contain unusually high per-
centage of sugar, and sugar refinery would no doubt
prove profitable in this locality. AS the rainfall is very
slight in the irrigated districts the farmer is practically
master of the situation crop of bees rich sugar
contents is the rule rather than the exception The
troll of the water supply makes certain what would other
wise be in doubt It the harvest
AS an actual example of the results to be obtained
within few hours ride of Ell Paso the following report
received dated July 1909 from the Lucerne Farm
Company, Berino New Mexico:
'Last February, Viljoen brothers, after properly
preparing thrtyfve of land, seeded 1t to alfalfa
and supplemented 800 pounds of wheat seed as nurse
crop. When the wheat several feet high and about
ready to for fodder in the usual way appeared such
splendid stand that it determined to let the same
ripen About the first week in July, the crop har
vested and the threshng the wheat comps ted later The
result 622 pounds of fine wheat and the straw being
well mixed with alfalfa baed and sold at $500 per ton
O. BerinO there being upward of 50 TONS The wheat
was sold to Mr. Chas. Miller, of Anthony n NJ at $1561a
per hundred pounds The thryve was, of course
irrigated right away again and was soon covered with
beautiful stand of alfalfa inches high which yielded
three good cuttings of alfalfa the season..
GOVERNMENT IRRIGATION.
The Southwest is big country, where they do big
things and the Elephant Butte DAM located in the Rio
Grande Valley exception to this rule being the most
undertaking of this nature within the memory
of mankind To say that the United States Government
is actively engaged at the present time in the preliminary
work what will be the greatest dam earth, creating
the largest artificial lake the world and the most extern
sive irrigation system of modern times is to state the SIM
pie fact.
complete explanation of what this will to the
CITY of Ell Paso and the surrounding country would
quire special volume. No part of North America pro-
duces such abundance great variety of crops
made possible when the arid lands of the Southwest
are properly irrigated This is partly due to the great
percentage Of nitrogen found in the soil and the fact that
this region enjoys average Of $50 days of sunshine each
year Couple these conditions with the ranchers ability
absolutely control the water supply and you make
tain what would otherwise be in doubt You abso-
utely assured successful harvest crop failure is
rare as killing frost in the tropics.
The Elephant Butte dam is located twelve miles
southwest of Engle n Mex about 100 miles north of
the city of Ell Paso Advantage has been taken of the nat
ural formation occurring in the valley at this point which
creates natural wall from which the dam extends
the river bed. The cost of the completed work will be

tabulated list of the average value of crops in this
district is ecessariy vague, the modern methods

THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY.
The Rio Grande Valley is in many respects the most
remarkable valley on the American continent It is
pletev walled in by mountain ranges both the Amer

planters point of is absolutely perfect The soil Is
so rich in natural fertilizer silt supplied through the
waters of the Rio Grand that the experts Of the Govern
men service have pronounced its growing qualities to be
probably equaed but assuredy not surpassed by the val

Reed and McKinlay were billed to
speak in Jacksonville on the same
evening. Some one suggested a
joint debate and the California
Congressman not having met Reed
easily fell into the trap. Reed was
given the first hour to riddle Re-
publican fallacies and he did it to
a FRAGILE. McKinlay was dazed by
both argument and oratory, and
when he arose to attempt an an

the audience for not being an ora

chump enough to defend Republi-

One Year of Taftism.

Nearly year of Taft's admins
tration is at an end. What fruits
are we gathering from his rule?
Here are some of them:
1. Necessary congressional 'inves-
tieation in almost every department
of the government, because 'ot
charges of long continued, .pre4med-
itated and wholesale corruption.
2. Demands from every direction
for a more economical expenditure
of the peoples money in which
claims are made that $i0Q0OQ,OOO
of salaries could be easily saved to
the people.
8. Hundreds of the civil service"
fakirs on the government pay rolls
found to be thieves and grafters.
q. Millions stolen by the Sugar
Trust through connivance of Re-
publican government officials, some
high up"
S. Internal dissension amongst
cabinet members.
6. Too close relationship with
Morgan, and other Wall street ma
nipulators.
7. Government bonds below par.
8. Deficit of nearly $1OOO00O0O
in the u. S. treasury.
g. An inquitous system of feder-
al taxation.
10. Necessities of life increased
from so to 100 per cent.
II. Government officials salaries
alone increased, adding only q
greater burden upon the shoulders
of the tax payers.
IL. An efficient and burdensome
financial system as a result OF Re
publican policies.
Unless the people have lost al
hope this ought to be more thar
enough to convince them that il
there is not soon a change in oul
administration, our country and Oul
