ing value of this crop. With the
record breaking yields Of the Pecos

the Whitehill ranch home and is a
beautifully shaded spot that has
no superior in this whole region.
When the writei first arrived in
Deming he met Harry V. Whitehill.
who remarked at that time: IF
you want to see the prettiest place
in New Mexico, come up to our
ranch" We accepted the invita-
ton this week. and are not going TO
dispute the claims of genial Harry.
1t is certainly a charming shady
spot, made so by trees planted by
the Whitehill brothers a few years
ago and now grown to giant pro-
portions, no irrigation being re-
quired, as water comes within a
few feet of the surface. Harry
says the native grass is sometimes
two feet high and and that he has
pastured as many as 400 head of
horses and cattle On inn acres az
land.
Mr.. Whitehil and his good wife,
together with his four bright little
girls, occupy the big ranch sur
rounded with trees that would dc
credit to Central Park. The writer
saw the pear and peach trees from
which some of the prize fruit ex.

ground for the erection of the fin,

where school is held nine months il

more singular specialized talent and
a greater number Of strange diver

audience at any one time In any
building, theatre or under canvas.
Surely there is sufficient variety of
added novelties of appropriate char
acter fitting to the well-known his
toric features to astonish and please
the most blaze and pessimistic.
The longbow is never drawn nor
the improbable introduced; only the
actual, the possible, though marvel
Gus, that educates as we'll as thrills
Every American should see its
scenes of past history; every stud
ent should see it for its human in
terest and every parent should have
his children see il as an aid to their
education.
incidentally there will be stirring
scenes of western life in the early
days pictured with the Wild West
and Far East. The Battle Of Sum-
