essentials of a given place he Is pre-

CROPS.
Did you ask what can be raised
in Luna county? Well, just about
the samo as you can raise any place
where Jack Frost visits, only bigger,
better and more Of It. But farm
ing In Luna county is in It's infancy.
Only a very small beginning being
made, but enough to convince the
most skeptical Of the wonderful
productiveness Of the soil. Every
thing earth yields seem to be here,
and Of the finest. Grain Of all kinds
are shown, from the big golden ears
of corn TO the largest heads Of Kaf-
fir corn and milo maize, vegetables
Of every sort, potatoes, beets, tur-
nips, squashes, pumpkins, melons,
and all Of mammoth size. Fruits Of
all kinds, peaches, plums, apricots,
apples, pears and grapes, all grow
to almost perfection, but only a
very few are planted. Remember
government lands are not set in
fruit until occupied by the farmer.
So don't come here expecting to
see blooming orchards and waving
meadows. II is yours to grow them
for yourself.
THE FARMER.
The up-to-date Luna county far
mer is the aristocrat of his craft.
II his farm is we'll located, land
there is no reason why 1t should not
be,) he fears neither floods nor
droughts. neither hard times nor
panics. There is always a good
market in which his products cem-
mand top prices, and as to crop
failures, it is out Of the question II
he knows his business.
ALFALFA.
Alfalfa is one Of the most valu-
able crops of Luna county. Pro-
ducing 3 to 4 ton per acre each sea-
son and at $l2 to $40 per ton yields
a nice income to the farmer.
IRRIGATION.
Farmers in Luna county do not
depend on the rainfall to make their
crops. They want a sure thing.
Each farmer has a pumping plant
Of his own ranging in cost from
$3.50 to $4,000, owing to the amount
TO be irrigated.
HOME.
The sweetest place on earth is
home. Get a home of your own
and become independent. II you
are working for someone else they
are making a profit from your labor
or they would not employ you.
Work for yourself and get the full
earnings from your labor. Come
TO Deming, New Mexico, and call
on me and | will show you some of
the finest land you ever looked at.
So level you cannot tell which way
the water runs. You can home
stead 100 acres and make you a
home. or you can buy relinquish-
ment, or you can buy decided land;
any of which will make you a good
home.
WHAT You CAN DO.
You can buy a good farm for less
money-you can make more out of
your farm-you can operate 1t at a
lower expense and get more use out
of the ground than in any other
section Of America. You do less
work, you make better crops and
get better prices. If you want to
make money, and make II while you
are young, come to Luna county,
New Mexico, right now, and grow
rich. Leave the clay hills and rock
piles and the swamps. Get out of
the over-crowded communities, out
Of the belt Of hail and snow and ice
and blizzards. live in The Land of
Sunshine" where health snd wealth
