SAYS BRING
DRY FARMERS
HERE
Says More Advertising and
Cheaper Excursion Rates
Are Needle.

Homeseekers' rates and advertising
for this section is V. r. Stiles's recipe
for a greater Ell Paso and q greater
southwest. Given these two mediums
for bringing homeseekers to FL Paso
and the surrounding section, and with
the vast areas of dry farming territory
/ at FL Paso's door, the former general
passenger agent OF the Southwestern
route, at the business mems Luncheon
today, said Ell Paso would grow to be
the greatest city in the state.
What We need is the proper kind of
advertising and the right kind of rates
TO bring people here" he said The
homeseekers rate is 50 higher from Kan
sas City to Ell Paso than ii is from
Kansas City to south Texas points.
This ought to be changed and the bus
mess men OF FL Paso should rectify
this error, or discrimination in favor of
east Texas points as against west
Texas"
Comparing the country surrounding
FL Paso TO Colorado and Kansas, Mr..
Stiles showed how Colorado made use
Of every natural resource, utilizing
every foot of ground and storing every
gallon of surplus water in reservoirs.
In Kansas, he said, the country had to
be settled three or four times before
it was made what it is But finally the
people persisted and made the lands the
finest there was out Of doors Right
at our very door," the speaker said,
I'VE have a great body of land that can
be farmed profitably by dry farming.
The Tularosa valley, the Alamogordo,
the San Simon, the Sulphur Springs and
the other valleys are successfully Gull
tivated by scientific agriculture or dry
farming. If a man had told me a few
years ago that dry farming was sue
cessfuI here I would have said he was
crazy. 1 went to the Denver dry farm
ing convention and was convinced of
it's practicability.
1.-The trouble is that the settlers do
not familiarize themselves with what
they are trying to do. 1 expect 10 see
this country populated two or three
times before a success is made but as
soon as the people are educated, they
will populate thousands Of acres and
