for Late FrOst-Carls-
bad News.

Carlsbad N NJ, March with a
clear sky and the thermometer hover
ing around the IS mark, it is almost
necessary to make an affidavit for the
visitors from the north central states
that Carlsba is governed by the same
calendar and almanac tnat is used by
them. Here, the fruit buds are open
ing out. the grass is green and, to all
appearances. spring. has arrived.
There is some uneasiness felt by the
fruit growers that the fruit may be
caught by a late frost Some of them
have supplied themselves with smudge
pots and determined effort will be
made to guard against killing frOsts.
This is the first season they have been
used in this part of the valley and
their success will be watched with a
keen interest by all of the fruit grow
ers up and down the valley. They were
used successfully on the Hagerman
farm at Roswell last year.

Miss Nettie Anderson at her home in

ing come to the Pecos valley seeking

been a barrier between this city and
the plains country and has been the

cent meeting of the Carlsbad CONNER
cial club, a committee was appointed
to solicit funds for the purpose of as
sisting the county in rebuilding this
road. Already over $1,000 has been sub
scribed and paid in. which is now avail
able for the work and with the funds
which will be given by the county, it
is thought the road will be put in
frstclass condition. II is the main
travelled road between this city and the
towns of Knowles. Monument. Low

have recently sprung up between this
city ana the 1eXdS state line
