Vegetables; Ha! Ha! Why even
the cows go to bed every night
amply filled with nice fresh tur-
nips and the chickens, (1OOO in
number), have every kind their
appetites crave.
With seven different kinds on
our table for Sunday dinner, ct
didn't hurt, we are use to IT'D,
and more in the garden we can't
think of any kind you could have
that we are not already over
stocked on.
With plenty of good water
within twelve to twenty feet of
the surface, to use during the dry
season, it's no trouble for us to
raise vegetables, but having been
here over six years we have long
since ceased to tell of what we
could raise, we thought every one
knew. We are very quiet and
peaceable over here onthe east
side and a visit to our neighbor-
hood might be an eye opener.
You will have to find some
thing that isn't as common as
vegetables to trade for fried chick |

We also have plenty of nice
fresh pullet eggs so don't care
for anything in that line. Can
you solve the riddle?

Cabbage is
in Demand

Because of the failure of the
cabbage crop in the southwest
Texas, Oklahoma and parts of
Arizona, there is an unprece-
dented demand for Albuquer
que cabbage this year and local
gardeners are selling their pro
duct out of town at fancy pri
ces. Herman Blueher and
John Mann, who operate two
of the biggest gardens in the
southwest, have been shipping
cabbage in carload lots for
several days past, most of the
shipments being to Ell Paso.
Ell Paso, because of numerous
railroads and favorable rates,
re ships the cabbage into New
Mexico and to Texas, Okla |

is Of extra good quality, solid

GOOD CROPS
IN MhNzhN0
COUNTRY

The News family drove ou
southwest last Sunday, taking i
the Means neighborhood near Mt
Calvary, then on to Manzano
where lunch under the old appl,
trees was enjoyed, returning
home northward and eastwar'
from the old apple town. Th
crops throughout that district ar,
simply marvellous, no other wore
will suffice. We saw several larg'
stacks of wheat, ready for th'
thresher. While most of thu
wheat straw was very short, the
heads are a good length. and the
yield is estimated at from ter
to fifteen bushels per acre. Most
of the rye is in the shock. The
yield of rye will be heavy, the
heads in almost all the fields be-
ing so heavy that they hung over.
Corn is from three to five feet
high, of a beautiful rich dark
green color, beginning to tassel.
In some fields roasting ears are
not far off. Beans thousands Of
acres of them are looking the
best ever. The stand is excellent
the height good. and the promise
of a large crop the best ever.
Apparently the only thing that
can prevent a splendid harvest
would be a heavy hail storm
throughout the valley, something
which has never been heard of.
Cane and millet are doing their
share to make the valley famous,
while the oats is a wonder. In
many fields the first crop has
been cut and the second is about
knee high, a pretty dark green.
Some Of the best individual
crops we saw were those of
Messrs. Donoghe, Mullen and
Byrd, just south of Manzano. The
weeds have been kept down in
these, the corn is almost shoulder
high to a man, the beans are in
blossom, healthy large stalks,
oats and millet coming on in fine
shape. On the mesa east of
Manzano, the crops are better
than ever before. Where last
year the stuff had trouble in even
coming up, this year the crops
are money makers. This is GER
tainly the farmers year and mol
