SATURDAY, JUNE 10

June the 22nd has been pro-
claimed by the governor of the
territory to be a day set to boost
New Mexico by every citizen.
All the people of the territory
will on that day have some ar
ticle of publicity boosting New
Mexico, and postal cards will be
furnished free to the people by
many of the commercial clubs of
different cities of the territory.
No doubt this is one of the most
patriotic and wise things done
by governor Mills. he has the
right spirit of an American citi-
zen,. and too great a boost can
not be given to a territory which
for so many years has been en-
titled to become a state and
which has met more obstacles in
stepping into the doors of the
union. .

ton on irrigated farms.
For seven0l weeks the New Mexico
Bureau of immigration has been ell
gagged in making a census of the dry
farming districts of New Mexico with
a view to ascertaining as accurately
as possible the acreage actually being
planted in New Mexico this season on
non-irrigated land. The census has
been made by correspondence with re-
liable people, the letters going out to
every postonice around which dry
farming is practiced. A large number
OF letters replying to the questions
asked by the bureau were received,
practically every township in the dry
farming regions giving detailed in
formation, not only as to acreage in
actual cultivation but as regards
rainfall this season as compared with
last season and as compared with nor
NAL, number of homeseekers, who
moved out of the various districts dur
ing the past two seasons and numbers
who have returned to their home
steads during the present season.
This information was turned over
by Secretary II. B. Hening of the
bureau to j. d. Tinsley, agricultural
demonstra for the Santa Fe rail
road, whose work lies chiefly in the
dry farming districts of New Mexico.
Professor Tinsley added to the infor
nation obtained by the bureau his
own thorough knowledge of dry farm
ing conditions in all of the New Mex
leo districts. through all of which he
has travelled this season. From this
information Professor Tinsley has
produced very carefully prepared
and conservative statement which
shows reliably not only the acreage
ualyunder cultivation this season
but the acreage in each county which
in his opinion eventually will lie sue
cessfully cutivaIed by dry farming.
Tlis table gives some interesting
figures. 1t lhows that dry farming
has been by TO means the failure
many people have been led to believe
through the reports which have gone
out during the past two years of light
rainfall; that it is already tremend-
Gus industry and that its development
along intelligent lines means the re-
clamation of an enormous area of now
unproductive land
Heretofore the estimate placed on
the dry farming area of New Mexico
has been 10000, 000 acres and by many
people that estimate has been consid-
cred excessive, Mr.. Tinsieys table
shows 1880, ,GjJ acres possible of cul-
tivation by dry farming methods.
Heretofore the acreage under actual
cultivation by dry farming in New
Mexico has been variously estimated
at from $50, to AGO. 600 acres. The
Bureau of immigration census and
Professor Tinsley's report which has
been made conservative with regard
to every county, shows 718,000 acres
in actual cultivation the present sea-
son. The table follows gives the area
under cultivation this year.

"0f course the statement as to the
possible dry farm area is purely an
estimate" said Mr.. Tinsley yesterday
in an estimate based upon our knowl-
edge of the rain fall in those districts
applied to the known agricultural acre
age in the several counties not under
cultivation and the known rainfall
over this latter area. Certainly 49,
600, 900 acres is a conservative esti-
mate of our total dry farming area.
1.-The figures of the dry farming
acreage under actual cultivation this
season are very nearly accurate. The
figures obtained by the Bureau of I'm
migration agree closely with my own
estimates and knowledge Of the acre
age under cultivation and where a
doubt has existed the figures have
been made conservative. AS nearly
as can tell the actual acreage under
cultivation by dry farming in New
Mexico this season is nearer 750, 600
than the total given"
In addition to the statements as to
acreage under cultivation the replies
to the Bureau of linn gration's inqu:-
res have given other information of
great value as regards the dry farm
ing industry and which throw a rosy
light on the outlook for dry farming
