handled over this line, while much 9th

creek section Of the Pecos valley has
been the best on record, as is also the
case with the irrigation farmers nearer
to Pecos.
Large. crops have been harvested by
pumped water irrigation farmers with

crops from up the PecOs river on the

good. This year has seen the largest

Up to a year or two ago They have

At BarstoW crops were somewhat

BarstOw this year This is the best
record they have ever made. At Grand
Falls crops have been good Next year

The most startling growth, however,
of the year has been the growth and
