Do YOU want to raise ostriches. figs and

There are plenty of chances to do so
on the lands (which Uncle Sam now OF

south, and SO also of the irrigation
schemes OF southern New Mexico. In
these regions the country is practically
frostless, and oranges. lemons. grape
fruit and olives can be easily grown.
The lands lie several hundred feet above
sea level and the temperature ranges
from 10 10 lis degrees above zero.
In some OF the tracts the units are as
low as ten acres. which is found TO be
plenty. az crops can be raised all the year

Information concerning them by writing

But how does one get u farm on these
fertile GASES? The lands are allotted un-
der much the same terms as the home
stead law. save that the settlers must pay
the actual cost Of erecting the dams and
making the irrigation works which put
the water upon the lands. They must
also pay q small rental cost per acre each
wear for the use of the water. The pay
ment for the land Is made in ten annual
instalments. the money all going back
to the government. When the works are
paid for the land and the works will be-
long to the community, and they will be
to a certain extent under the Secretary of
the Interior for the future. The scheme
provides against monopoly. No one has
the right to own more than 160 acres on
any of the tracts and the units of owner
shin are somewhere as low as ten acres.
In other projects they are forty, and in
others eighty.
If the land is taken up under the home
stead law, the settler must live on It
for five years before he can get a title.
and this is so whether the land has water
yet or not. The amounts paid foi
water vary with the cost OF the irrigation
works needed to redeem them, but In no
case are they anything like the value of

them a lot of promises of which these
are chief: The Malissor tribesmen should
serve as soldiers only at home or in Con-

should get snug administrative posts
(where they can steal decentlyo; taxation

does not matter much, as no Malissor
wanted them. First because their chief
demands are home rule and a guarantee
BY the great powers of their liberties,
and the Turks will grant neither of these.
Secondly because the provision about
arms is impossible from the Malissor
point of view.
