Mulberry is the Best.

Professor Fabian Garcia, head or
the horticultural department of the
New Mexico Agricultural college,
has been devoting considerable time
and labor for the past ten years to
Il study of the various shade trees
with a view to determining which
species are best adapted to this coun-
try. 1t has been found that the
eucalyptus, which is one Of the best
varieties for California, does not dc
well here, though a great many
have been planted at various times
The poplar has been found to be q
success, but it grows too tall and
slender to be- of much advantage
So far, the best variety seems to bt
the mulberry, especially the male
trees, which do not bear fruit anC
are therefore devoid of any disa
greeable feature of drawing tht
birds and littering up the yard with
fruit. The maple has been founC
to be of some value but is not
complete success. The cottonwood
ilourishes where all others fail bu
is prone to decay earlier than 9th
prs.

country with their muscle and their
money to help in its development.

and every croak is a discord in the
chorus Of praises our people should
sing.
We have splendid land and it i,
fortunate that it has slightly vary
ing characteristics, for if it wer,
absolutely uniform, it wOuldn't
meet the desires of the varying
men. We have a good class oI
merchants, who are doing their best
to make the town and county grow
We have a good class of farmers
who are doing their utmost to max,
their farms more productive and
valuable. II you have to run off ;
lot of wall about how the other fcl
low runs his business, wall to youl
wife and tell her not to tell, theI
don't let any stranger talk to her
II is easier a thousand times to dis
courage a man and send him away
than II Is to encourage him an,
bring him to Luna county, wher,
we need him and want him. If h,
don't buy your land, let him bu!
your neighbours. Sooner or late
somebody may buy yours, In an.
event you will be- a lot better off i

The Deming Country Could
do the Same.

Pomona ranch of 100 acres- at
Dayton Wash, in the rouchct val
ley, south of Spokane. yielded l20
carloads of standard winter apples
this season, which is believed to be
a record for an orchard of this eX-
tent. The yield is 200 per cent
greater than in 1909 The apples
are free from blcmishcs and Il care
ful examination showed but one
wormy apple for each 900. The
acre average was $50 bushels from
10 trees, though individual acres
ran as high ms $50 boxes. The own
ers paid S25, 900 for picking and
packing boxes, and it is estimated
that it will cost S35, 900 to transport
the crop to eastern markets The
commercial value of the yield is
placed at 500, 600. The orchard was
developed by j. l.. Dumas of Day
ton, ex-prcsidcnt Of the Washington
State Horticultural Association, who
sold it to Il syndicate of Walla Wal
Ia and Dayton capitalists for $780,
600 several months ago, at which
time it was estimated the crop
would reach value of $75. 900 on
the ranch.

for a fine exhibition of a pumping

What Will Deming Lands be
Worth?

An Alamogordo man gets n flow
of a thousand gallons per minute
out of four wells, some of them
nearly 200 feet deep. With this
sort of water supply. they figure
that their land will bc worth $500
per acre. Just think this over for
IA minute and then figure how much
Dcming land will be- worth in the
same length of time. Most of the
water propositions in New Mexico
look like three dimes when COM
pared with the water inducements
offered in the Dcming country.
Come over, ncighbors. and see for
yourselves.

If This Don't Mean You,
Don't Take il.

The man who can look through a
keyhole with both eyes at the same
time is so narrow in his vision that
he isn't much good to any commun-
ity. and is certainly not source of
pride or of pleasure to himself.
Did il ever occur to you that while
you are living your life every man
in the community is living his, and
that we are actuated by much the
same impulses and lured by the
same hopes.
The man who is in trade is in
trade for the profit, and what is in
il, exactly the same as the man who
is farming is developing his farm
with the hope of enriching himself
and leaving something for his
children. The man who locates a
farm on tight land does 80 because
in his past experience tight land
has been most satisfactory; and the
man who locates a farm on loose
soil does 80 because in his past ex-
perience that soil has been more
satisfactory, or held moisture better
or for some reason or other has
looked better TO him. II you like
your land, say so; but 1t never did
any man good to croak about the
other fellows land. There ism,
any more difference between thu
land in one place in this valley ant
the land in another place In tn,
valley in its ultimate productivenes'
than there Is between two black
eyed peas. II Is all good. Th'

AT the same time ii is pronounced
constitutional by eminent legal tai
ent. The claus provides that
whenever the commission hands
down an order, The party or corpo-
ration has the right Of appeal to the

however, that no appeal is taken,
the commission must present the
order an accompanying document
ary evidence to the supreme court,
which will affirm the order if il is
found to be- in proper legal form
and constitutional, thereby creating
promptly a Judicial precedent by
the highest tribunal of the state and
preventing further delay and use

ror in the order. il is remanded to

Returned Saturday Evening
from a Six Weeks Tour

SAW MAYOR CAYNOR
He Talked Deming Every
Minute and Always had
Interested Listeners.

j. b, IIodgdon arrived on the
Golden State Limited, Saturday
evening from one of the most de-
lightful tours of his life. He was
a delegate from New Mexico to the
Sovereign Grand Lodge of Odd Fel-
lows at Atlanta, stopping for day
in New Orleans. The meeting Of
the craft was one of the greatest
in the history of the order and the
great southern metropolis extended
the cordial hand of welcome to the
body Of men representing one Of the
noblcst secret orders in the world.
From Atlanta, Mr.. Hodgdon went
to Washington, where he visited
many relatives and friends and had
interviews with many people who
are deeply interested in New Mexi-
co and the development of our agri-
cultural and mineral resources.
From Washington he went to Phila-
delphia and New York, where he
had a pleasant little interview with
Mayor Gaynor, on the occasion Of
his first visit to his office after the
recent shooting affray that nearly
ended his official and earthly career.
Several prominent people in New
York have their gaze rivetcd on this
section of New Mexico and were
mighty glad to talk with a man who
knws the country from a to q.
| Wilkcsbarre, Pittston and Scranton,
Pa, were the next boosting spots
where people were anxious to know
about the Dcming country. Next
Buffalo, N. Y, Detroit and Belle
vuc, Michigan gave the booster the
glad hand, and piled him with hun
drcds of questions concerning the
great Southwest AT Chicago he
was compelled to answer more than
a thousand questions of interested
parties. The big metropolis of the
west is seriously working up to the
possibilities of the new state that is
destined to outstrip many older COM
monwealths. While in Chicago he
had delightful visit with Chaun-
cey 0lcott the distinguished actor
who is charming vast audiences in
the breezy town, but who takes
time once in awhile to write nis
letter, with enclosure of ;, 10 or 20,

SAYS FAREWELL
Two Thirds of the Popula.
ton of Luna County at
Big Show
EVERYBODY DELIGHTED
Schools Dismiss and the
Town Practically Sus-
pends Business.

Col. W. +. Cody, known to all the
world as Buffalo Bill" badc his
farewell from the saddle" to a
Deming audience, representing full
ly two thirds of the residents of Lu-
ma county Friday afternoon. All
business was practically suspended
in the city and all public schools
were wisely dismissed for the big
event, which is really world edu-
Gator in itself
Buffalo Bill's Congress of Rough
Riders of the World" was one Of
the most stupcndous undertakings
of It's kind ever devised, and when
"Pawnce Bills Far East" was COM
bned with il two years ago, it
makes an enterprise, the immensely
of which is difficult to express.
The great arena, filled with
equestrian experts of the world,
is a sight never to be forgotten. and
the patriotic inspiration of the
great mass of graceful riders follow
ing the lead of the odd Scout" "
who knows them all in a personal
way, leaves a good impression.
The appearance of u. $. troops or
old glory" always brought forth a
hearty cheer
Col. Cody and Major Lille, with
their army of artists, have done
more to bring out the intelligence
of animal life and bring To people
the history of races than any two
men now living. They have
amassed great fortunes hut give
dollar for dollar to the people, who
flock by the thousands to enjoy the
arena triumphs they have gathered
from the four quarters of the globe.
No person living sits horse
more majestically than Col. Cody
and he will be- sadly missed from
the congress of rough riders, which
will henceforth h. under the man
agement of Major Lille, who, by
the way, holds a mighty big place in
public esteem.
Col. Cody and his good wife and
Major Lille all took intense interest
in our agricultural development and
the GRAPHIC furnished them many
pictures of pumping plants and 9th
er evidences of our agricultural
thrift and progress. Their private
car was generously supplied witt
copies of our prosperity edition ant
recent issues of our regular publica
ton, in which the entire oilicia
staff was intensely interested. Ma
jor Lille expressed the opinion sev
eral times that an investment il
land in the Deming country woult
be wise and prudent for any maj
and it would not be at all surprising
If the gallant major himself set th'
example.
Col. Cody was especially enthusi
astic over the success of his boyhoo'
chum, John Humid, whom he ha'
not seen in half century and witt
whom he had n good old Fashioned
visit, promising the big farmer o
the Mimbres Valley that he woul'
come and rest under his vine an,
flg tree for at least two days, jus
as soon ms his business cares woul
permit. The colonel told the write
he had not had so good a visit wit
any person in ten years as he di'
with his old boyhood companion.

GROUND HOG AGAIN
GOES WRONG IN PlTTSBURG

PittSburg. Jan. 31.-Tho ground hog
has gone wrong for three successive
years in P1ttSburg. and Henry Penny
witt, weather forecaster for this dis
trict. warns the people to ignore the
creature when he emerges from his hole
next Wednesday. In 1907 and 1909 the
ground hogs shadow was plainly visi-
bic, yet the weather was mild for the
next six weeks In refutation OF tradi-
tion. and in 1905 when ground hog day
was as black as night. six weeks OF
heavy snow and flood followed.
Incidentally, PittsburS is a bit anx
ious, since the Paris food. There are
three rivers threatening Pitsburg. while
Paris has but one. The weather bureau
reports that the snowfall for the last
month has been 22.5 inches, the larg
est for any similar period for l6 years.
The guesses that the abundance Of
comets or general wear and tear on the
sun might have anything to do with
phenomenal weather this year were
met at the local weather bureau with
the statement that records taken at
Kew observatory In London, for tho
last 125 years. showed that the temper
nture has not varied as a whole one
