Sunrise and the Rooster.

Once there was man who was
awakened every morning by the trum'
pet Of a rooster This so provoked
him that at last, putting his head out
Of the window, he shouted:
Miserable creature, Is 1t not
enough that you crow by day? Early
every morning you crow and crow
until you cause the sun to rise. Then
/ have TO get up and work. If you
do not keep quiet in the morning |
shall certainly wiring your neck"
And SO he did, but too late he found
that the sun rose from other causes
than the growing of a rooster.

turc Of the air at night during the
growing season, which is just the
temperature best suited for the pur-
pose Of irrigation.
There is still another unusual ad-
vantage connected with the irriga-
BILE lands of the Mimbres valley.
Beneath the rich surface soil, at a
depth of from two 70 three or four
feet, is a subsoil that holds the wa
ter like a jug. This condition ex-
plains a fact which is so hard for
irrigationists elsewhere to UNDER
stand, viz, that a given amount Of
water will irrigate thoroughly about
twice as much land in the Mmhres
valley as it irrigates in regions
where a porous subsoil allows the
water to leak away before the grow
ing crops have thoroughly utilized

THE DRoUTHs.
But drouths came, and then this
country was not exactly the cattle
mans paradise" 1t was nearer
what Sheridan said Texas was.
The ranges became overstocked,
and dividends in the cattle business
were represented by poverty hides
and bones for the bone mills. :.
Then people commenced to wan
der in who were hungry for the
land. 1t mattered little that 1t was
desert land what they wanted was
land, and they got it. The first
settlers, that is the first ''nesters"
knew nothing Of the possibilities of
irrigation, and they starved out.
Another crop of "nesters" came,
and they starved out, and so on.
Ruins of old adobe huts and shacks
attest this fact, as well as the men,
cries of the old timers.
PUMPING THE WATER.
In the meantime, however. the
American genius for invention had
encountered conditions in other por-
tons of the west where cheap
water meant salvation mot only
salvation, II meant millions of mon
ley. Inventors set about devising
some means Of raising great quan'
titles of water economically
Powerful pumps were the result,
and gasoline and crude oil engines
Then il became possible to transmit
a high voltage of electricity to al
most any distance without appre
ciable loss. With this invention the
central power plant became feast
bic, that is, plant where electrici
ty is generated and from which by
means of transmission lines thu
power Cuice, it is called is convey
ed to motors which run the pumps
so that all the farmer has to do i
Il -
TO touch the button, as of old tn,
prophet smote the rock, and abund
ant water gushes forth.
All of these means of lifting
water are now in use in the Min
bres valley, and 10! this vast rive
valley which II took nature count
less ages to make into a desert !
now being unmade into gardens an
fields and orchards. The repopulf
ing of this desert valley is a signf
triumph Of mans genius for mail
ing nature subservient to his will.
:. MEN OF MEANS.

to the Mimbres valley are NJ
: hungry for free land. They al

garden spots of the Golden state.
He is a veteran irrigationist, and for
years the manager of one Of the finest
fruit ranches in California, but has
the lust Of the pioneer in his veins.
He came into the Mimbres valley a :
little over a year ago and commenc-
ed work on a hundred acres Of
wretched looking cage brush and
mesquite. He got nothing planted
before July |, last year. Neverthe-
less he took premiums on indian
corn, milo maize, sorghum cane, and
a number of other crops. He got
number of acres of alfalfa success
fully seeded so that it is now nearly
ready to cut; he netted over $40 an
acre on his bean crop. He will
have 100 acres in cultivation and
under irrigation this year. He has
box elder trees set out along the
entire north and west lines OF his
farm. This farm looks like an
oasis in the desert and it is.
SOME EXAMPLES.
But there are other cases in this
vicinity. Shull brothers have lS0
acres in cultivation. They raised
the prize Irish potatoes of the
southwest last year. They are put
ting their land this year into beans,
potatoes and onion.
Col. Il. Z. Burdick, one Of the
wealthiest cattlemen of Luna coun-
ty, and one of the Oldest of old
timers, is developing farm about
four miles east of Dcming. He has
a well which pumps thousand gal
Ions of water a minute, and has one
hundred and sixty acres ready to
receive the water. Except for n
thrifty three-acre patch of onions,
he is putting his entire farm into
feed stuffs.
And there are others and others
whom space does not permit us to
mention.
WATER AT TOUCH or BUTTON.
Sam Schwing has twenty acres in
alfalfa just at the edge of town.
He has installed an electric motor.
The power is furnished by the
Deming Ice and Electric company.
Tie has merely to touch button in
orde to get five hundred gallons of
water per minute. His entire
plant. well, pump, motor and all
can be duplicated for five hundred
dollars.
The Chinese farmers, who have
| been truck-gardening one mile from
Deming for the last ten years anc
clearing up from one to three hun
dred dollars per acre on their land
have lately installed an electric mot
or, and find the problem of irriga
ton much simplifed thereby. j
M. Williams whose farm lies fiv'
! miles southwest Of Deming, is hav

power. Cheap electrical power
means cheap water for ihe irriga-
tor, AMI cheap water means tre-
mendous profits. Cheap power also
means cheap telephones. cheap cleo
trical lights, cheap labor saving de-
vices for farms all over The valley.
Every labor saving device on the
farm means greater luxury for the
farmer, means greater profits, means
advance in land values.
II is a conceded fact among irri-
gators that water may be pumped
proftably from ANY distance with

land that will produce merchantable
fruit in average quantities, to say
nothing of land that viii produce
fancy fruit in abundant quantities.
At the FL Paso fair last fall the
Mimbres valley took the following
premiums on fruit in competition
with fruit from New Mexico, north
ern Old Mexico and western Texas:
Ten varieties Of apples. I'd; best

PRIZE WINNERS
Out of thirty-one entries of fruits
and vegetables. twenty-one prizes
were captured. This is an indica-
ton of the quality of fruit grown in
the Mimbres valley. Now If water

pumping it from eXhaustless wells
