water pumped from wells put down on
their farms.
We find these same conditions all
over west Texas, in the Panhandle,
ard elsewhere, Inquiries are being
made regarding the practicablHty OF
pumping water under varying condl-
lions. Farmers are beginning as never
before in Texas to realize to some eX-
tent the value of water TO increase
crop production. The scarcity Of the
supply, and the necessity of making a
considerable expenditure to obtain the
water is a blessing, in that it induces
economy of use. The use of a smaller
amount means better cultivation, which
in turn produces larger returns per
acre, better kept fields. more home
like surroundings, a greater Texas. SO
over all this west country, homes are
being made on the Great American
Desert of the-past. yet development in
this, as in other sections, is in its in
fancy. The farmer is slowly learning,
yet surely so, that intensive cultivation
IS profitable and that it can be made to
pay to grow many stems of alfal1a
where none grew before.

with the single exception of II days,
when he worked in town, he has never
depended on other than his farm to
support his family which has grown up
around him. Every year even during
the drouth, he has lived and made a
little extra money out of his place, be-
sides adding improvements.
This year he sold several acres of
Mexican beans, which yielded s21 an
acre cash. These were grown on I'M
irrigated land. and were sown after
the middle of July. He has sold sew

Mr.. Bates is a firm believer in New

and says his land is worth to him at
least 500 straight, or $500 for the ir-
rigated portions. He expects to make

WONDERFUL RESULTS
FROM IRRIGATION
J. L. Vaughn at Moctezuma
Demonstrates That the
Soil Is Good.

Moctezuma Station, chihuahua, Mex,
Nov. 12-One of the best demonstra
tions Of the fertility of desert soil,
when properly cultivated and supplied
with water. can be seen at Moctezuma,
which is 40 miles south Of Juarez, on
the old Mexican Central" A few
years ago this was desert land, the
same as may be seen along the rail-
road between Juarez and Chihuahua.
About 10 years ago, J. L. Vaughan and
wife took charge of the station and
began TO improve the surroundings.
Now there is one of the finest orchards
and gardens to be found in northern
Mexico and it is one of the prettiest
spots on the road.
A remarkable feature is the immense
growth Of the fruit trees. Some Of
them have trunks three feet in circum-
ference and look more like trees of the
forest than fruit trees.
Vegetation Of all kinds grows on a
large scale. A few years ago a patch
of corn grew so high that a picture
was taken Of Mrs. Vaughan standing
on the fourth step Of a ladder and
reaching for roasting ear" Some Of
the stalks were from 10 to II feet in
height. This picture has been printed
in The Herald.
In addition to the large variety Of
trees, among which are some lemon
trees bearing lemons OF enormous size,
there is a fine collection of rare
plants brought from different parts cf
the republic. Some of these plants are

he has just completed on his farm.
Water was struck at a depth Of 22S
feet and a once rose to depth of $50

Deming. n. NJ, Nov. 12.-McRoberts,
Willsey and Wentamute have ordered
an I'D to date well machine for the
purpose of putting down irrigation
wells on their respective farms, five or
elk miles east of Deming. The farmers
of the Mimbres valley are much inter
ested in the experiments at Roswell in
using thirty gravity crude oil as fueI
for engines in irrigation. This fuel OIL,
it is claimed, can be laid down in the
Pecos valley at three-fourths cents per
gallon and will develop 25 to 80 percent
more power per gallon Of fuel oil used
than gasoline engines. There are
number of crude oil engines in use IN
the Mimbres valley now, but the trou-
bile with them has been that the proper
grade of crude oil has not been obtain
able in thirty gravity
If crude oil can be obtained in this
valley at anything like the cost men
toned above il viii mean a great re-
duction of the cost of pumping water
for irrigation. The secretary of the
Deming chamber Of commerce is in
vestigating this matter and it is to be
hoped that some satisfactory kind Of
crude oil can be laid down in Deming
at a cost which viii allow the present
owners of crude oil engines to operate
them at a great saving
Edward Kimmick, OF the upper MINI

post at Fort Bayard and the town Of
Santa Rita 500 pounds of fine rhubarb
a week during the entire season.
H A Gallegley, Of Day, North Da-
kota, is improving his tract Of land one
mile west Of Deming. He is putting in
a commercial orchard as well as quite
an acreage of alfalfa, with the inten-
ton of raising hogs on an extensive
scale He is also having built a five
room bungalow and expects to have ev-
erything in shape to begin farming
next season.

LIQUOR DRINKING
SPREADS DISEASE

PARIS, July 4.-To drink beer and
spirits is to encourage the develop
ment of tuberculosis says DR.. Jacques
Bertillon, the well known physician
who originated the finger print sys-
tenn of police records. But he declares
wine is the arch enemy or the white
plague.
He bases his arguments on the
French departmental statistics. In
the northern eight departments where
I beer, cider and brandy are the chief
drinks, there were 23O consumption
deaths per 100000 inhabitants in one
year. In Southern France, where wine
is in general use, only $40 per 100000
die of the scourge.
He finds further support for his
theories in the prevalence O. consump.
ton in England, where little wine is
used, but immense quantities of beer
and spirits. 1t is alcoholism of this
kind that must be fought if tuber-
culosis is to be stamped out, says the
French expert.
