Probably land such as this could
not be bought in California for less
than $500 an acre. In this vicinity
unimproved land can be had at
from $50 to 500 per acre. And all
II needs Is water to make il produce
such luxuriant crops as the farmers
who depend on rain, never dreamed
of. 1t is true that il takes some
capital to start farming here, but
once established, no better income
or more valuable home could be
desired.
Choice building lots in the city of
Deming. well located for residence
and business, may be had for from
$l75 to $500. There are many
things that make this a desirable
town and one of the coming cities
Of the state. The streets are laid
out at right angles "a rare feature
in New Mexico towns. Many of the
stores have tasty window displays,

This brings to thought the Dem
ing sewerage system commendable
and adequate and extending even
to sections of the town not yet
built up. For every dollar thus
expended, there will be at least a
thousand in return. The excellent
walks, the pretty yards the substan-
tial buildings, all point to a pros
porous, growing city. They employ

National Land and Irrigation
Journal Says Nice
Things.

The last issue Of the National
Land and Irrigation Journal pays
the following worthy tribute to the
different systems of irrigation and
to two prosperous cities Of the new
state:
The fact that there are two
great methods Of irrigation in vogue
in the Southwest is well illustrated
in the case of the two fourishing
cities of Las Cruces and Deming,
located in the new state of New
Mexico. Las Cruces, being locat-
ed on the banks of the Rio Grande,
enjoys the system of irrigation that
prevails on all running streams in
this section where there Is agricul-
tural development. Under this
system such rules and regulations
are provided by the Water Users
Association as are necessary for the
protection of the farmers generally
as well as of the individual, the
rules and regulations being abso-
lutely necessary for the conserva-
ton of the supply, and to place all
men within the district upon the
same basis. Deming, however, in
the development of her irrigation
enterprise, has proceeded along
different lines, as her water does
not come in a flowing stream.
Some miles above Deming the MIN.
bres river suddenly acquires the
idea that it is its solemn duty tc
disappear from sight, and 1t pro-
ceeds forthwith to bury itself in the
sand with a celebrity worthy OF a
better cause. 1t gets down to such
level that in the Deming sec
ton il is necessary to bore hole:
down to its subterranean bed il
order that the concealed flow may
be tapped, and when this is done
gasoline engines and powerful
pumps lift the precious fluid to thu
surface. where II is distributed
over the rich soil Of the famous
Mimbres Valley, which produces
crops Of such prodiguous proper

SPECIAL TRAIN
TO SANTA RITA
Deming VIII Run Special to
Santa Rita to Play
Ball
LEAVES SEVEN O'CLOCK
Returns Direct to Deming
After the Game is
Concluded.
LEAVES SEVEN O'CLOCK

Not to be outdone by Santa Rita,
Manager Bush, ably assisted by N.
A. Bolich, has arranged for spe-
cial train TO convey the base ball
crowd to Santa Rita, next Sunday.
The train will leave Deming at 7
O'Clock in the morning, and will go
direct TO Hurley, where an hours
time will be given to the inspection
Of the big mills. The run will be
then made to Santa Rita, where an
inspection of the mines will be
made, after which Deming will pro-
ceed to eat up Santa Rita, figura-
lively speaking. OF course Santa
Rita may possibly object to this
devouring process, but the way the
boys are figuring now she will have
to submit it.
1t is expected that a very large
crowd will accompany the team,
not only to witness the game. but
to see the great mining develop
ment in our neighboring county.
Ample provisions have been made
to feed all who come and the min
ing people will do all in their power
to make it pleasant for the visitors
by showing them the biggest min
ing development in the Southwest.
Round trip fare has been put
down to two dollars.

DEM|NG MELONS
THE VERY BEST
Mimbres Valley Sweets Be-
coming Famous as a
Table Delicacy
LARGE AND LUSCIOUS
Forty-five Dollars Worth Sold
From the Seed Of One
Melon.

Looks good to US to see outside
newspapers advertising: "Deming
watermelons. sweetest and juiciest.
Carload just in," Looks good to
US, because we know its the truth.
There can be no doubt that Deming
watermelons are superior to any
grown anywhere.
The GRAPHIC force can vouch for
the excellence Of these giants of
the vine. Early Monday morning
Earl Craig walked into the Office
with a 47-pound melon from the
Van Sickle field and a few minutes
later E. NJ. Keyton of lola came
across with a 3Ol-pound Coles
Early, that measured IA inches
long and 10 inches in diameter,
when Cole himself never dreamed
of them growing within two inches
of this size.
The Van Sickle melon was grown
from the seed of one of the Doug
lass prize melons and it may be
interesting to know that $45 worth
of melons have been sold from.the
vines grown from the seed of this
one melon.
Some of the companions oh the
same vine with the GRAPHIC melon
weighed 55 pounds. And when it
comes to flavor. the earth does rfot
grow anything bette. -

NO BOOM WANTED
IN This VALLEY
Just the Steady Solid Growth
That we are Having
Suits us
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Irrigation Farming is Attract
ing the Best People in
Our Country.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

The Deming country don't want
a boom. We are perfectly satisfied
with the steady solid growth that
we are having and have enjoyed
for the past two years. The coun-
try is peopling with the best and
most intelligent farmers in our
whole country, who are tired of
drouths and the uncertainty of
rainfall and are attracted by our
certainty of crops, our delightful
climate and the fact that every
man, independent of every other
man, is in absolute control Of his
water supply. He don't have to
watch the clouds to figure when TO
plant his seed. He simply touches
the button and the flood gates are
opened. That's all there is to it.
After travelling the old world
over and spanning our own great
country from coast to coast, one Of
our prominent young men, Samson
A. Lindauer, says the most pleasing
thing he has seen in the course Of
his transcontinental tour is the mar
vellous transformation wrought in
his home town and country. The
business development in the town
and the subduing Of the desert
looks better to him than glittering
crowns and royal robes. 1t means
more to the civilization Of the fu-
ture.
Secretary Hills is receiving daily
scores and scores Of inquiries con-
cerning the Deming country and
many of them write second letter
telling of the intention of the part
les to make the Mimbres Valley
their home. The following is a
sample of what many prospective
residents say TO Secretary Hills:
Il am in receipt of your booklet
descriptive of Deming, and as a
result am very much impressed.
Will be there this fall. Not NOV
ing on account of i'll health, as
there is not a sickly member of
the family, but simply because we
want to locate in a good town.
What Editor Shepard Of Midland
says in another column of this issue
expresses the feelings of strangers
who visit Deming. They all note
our activity and united effort to do
things. They take notice of our
progressive spirit and are satisfied
when they see the results.
Deming doesn't want any inflated
booms and is not getting them. We
do want solid, substantial growth
and are getting it. Things are
coming our way sure and strong.

The Deming country has added
two more prominent citizens Of the
the Southwest to her string of
admirers, in the person Of Mayor
G. E. Kelly, official head of the Pass
City and DR.. J. B. Brady, police
commissioner and Democratic head
Of the body polite of the same bal
liwick, both prominent men Of
affairs whose opinions carry weight.
The mayors family and the doc.
tors mother have been taking q
quiet rest at haywood Hot Springs
and the two dignitaries went up,
Saturday, to accompany them home,
Monday.
On the way up they glanced over
the town and were very much
pleased with the evidences Of pros
perity on every hand, but when on
the return trip, James s. Kerr and
c. ]. Laughren took them out to
see the big wells at Hund's, Hicks
Connoway's and McBrides and when
they saw the earth giving up of the
underground sea to make the desert
produce unheard-of vegetation, It
caused them to imbibe the booster
spirit so prevalent here.
After visiting the farms the gen.
tlemen regaled themselves on a 3Oa
pound watermelon just presented
the GRAPHIC by E. M. Keyton Of
lola, the entire office force joining
in the feed. Both gentlemen gave
il as their opinion that they never
had tasted better fruit from the
vine.
The editor remarked to the
mayor that the Humid farm was
purchased as a REIMBURSEMENT two
years ago for $3.50 per acre and
that he had refused 500 per acre
for the same tract.
He would be very foolish to
sell it for $lO0 per acre." replied
the mayor, adding quickly: You've
certainly got great future here"
DR.. Brady performed the necess-
ary ablutions to remove the water
melon juice from his hands and
came across with the very pleasing
statement:
Yes, this is certainly a great
country. We're nightly interest
ed and want to know more about it.
Guess we'd better take the GRAPHIC
for a year and keep posted, suiting
the action to the word and produc-
ing the necessary dinero.

tor, who was registered at the Har-
vey house with his mother as Mrs.

who was not acquainted with the
party, assigning both to one room.

and the proper accommodations were
provided.

Practically all of the farmers OF
Stevens county are opposed to the pres
ent state aid road law, and now some
of them are proposing that the state
aid levy in the future be used for the
payment of bounty on ground squir-
rels instead. Since the bounty on squir-
rels was removed few years ago. they
have increased very rapidly. until now
they are again the greatest pests with
which the farmers of this county have
to contend, and the question of their
determination has become one of vital
importance to all growers of grains and
vegetables. During the operation of the
bounty law several years ago, the little
rodents became quite scarce, and con-
sequently did little damage. and the
sarmers are naturally anxious for a
return to the bounty law.
