GOOD THINGS TO KNOW

The GRAPHIC Is glad so furnish
this week an accurate description OF
Case Brothers fine well recently
completed east of the city.
The first gravel stratum was
struck at l5ft.. was l2ft. thick, and
dry. The second stratum was
struck at AFT. was loft. thick and
had an abundance of water. The
third stratum was struck at loft.
and was l6ft. thick. The fourth
stratum was struck at ll5ft.
and was Aft. in thickness. The
fifth and last stratum was struck at
135ft. and showed up three feet,
thus giving actual water-bearing
material of 33ft.
There are Soft. of 26-inch casing
made of No. 8 steel with l5ft. of
strainer, with 30 per cent. openings
punched out of the steel. Below
this is placed 40ft. of 22-inch No. 8
steel casing, with 2Oft. Of screen.
Still further down is 40ft. of l6-inch
No. IL steel casing with left. per-
foration, having 30 per cent. open
ing.
Case Brothers are using a 4O-h. p.
Western gasoline engine and are
about TO install a large Layne e.
Bowler pump. The water level is
2Sft. and pumping reduces the head
to l6aft., delivering $50 gallons per
minute with 20-h. p. BY lowering
the head proportionately to 6Oft.,
| 900 gallons can just as easily be
produced.
Mr.. r. II. Case, who is authority
on the subject. figures that one
good watering in the fall on river
silt sandy loam is sufficient for the
planting Of alfalfa.

Peter Cameron, expert mechani-
cal engineer. spoke of the vast
knowledge he had acquired and the
great advantage and benefit the Wis
it had been to him. He was one of
the most copious note-takers in the
crowd.
The last. but one of the best talks
of the evening was given by j. A..
Mahoney, who was introduced as
future senator from the Deming
district and from the applause he
received we judge that the banquet
ers, at least, would make the vote
unanimous.

The boosters arrived In Albuquer-
que at $50 yesterday morning, max
ing the return trip in their private
ear The trip was a great success
from every standpoint and not a
member of the junketing party
would have missed il for anything.
Deming outdid herself in extending
the glad hand and hospitality was
dispensed with reckless abandon.
Whirled through the city and coun-
try in automobiles at a speed that
far exceeded the speed limit; shown
farms that would make Kansas
farmer ashamed Of his native state
as an agricultural country; and
made the guests Of honor at a bril-
liant banquet in the evening at the
Harvey House, the Albuquerque
men put in very strenuous day
Thursday day that they will not
soon forget.
A vast amount of accurate infor-
nation regarding pumping and irri-
gable lands was stored away in note
books and craniums, and the Albu-
querque visitors know so much now
about farming and what can be ac-
complished on New Mexico land,
that they can talk farm with the
best of them.
AT the banquet in the Harvey
House Thursday evening. nearly
every Albuquerque man was called
upon to make speech or answer to
a toast and several new orators
were brought into the limelight who
will be called upon regularly at
similar occasions hereafter.
Altogether the trip was revela-
ton to the excursionists. They
went to Deming. many Of them,
with but a vague and Indifferent
idea of what had been accomplished
in the Mimbres Valley during the
past few years. They returned to
Albuquerque wonderfully impressed
with what has been done. And they
also return firmly convinced that
what can be done in the Mimbres
Valley can be done in the Rio
Grande and the Willard valleys.
The excursion was undertaken at
the suggestion of the Commercial
Club of Albuquerque and the trip
should properly he credited as one
Of the splendid achievements by that

DO you know that croop can be

prevent the attack. 1t is also a GER
tain cure for Group and has never
been known to fail. Sold by all

An attack of the grip is followed
by a persistent cough. which to
many proves great annoyance.
Chamberlein's Cough Remedy has
been extensively used and with good
success for the relief and cure Of
this cough. Many cases have been
cured after all other remedies have
failed. Sold by all druggists.
Deming graphic. (Deming, N.M.) 1903-1948, 1911-02-03

A few minutes delay in treating
some cases Of Group, even the length
of time it takes to go for a doctor,
often proves dangerous. The saf-
est way is to keep Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy in the house, and at
the first indication of Group give the
child a dose. Pleasant to take and
always cure. Sold by all druggists.

crawford Chronicle.1

Bert Long, the new meat vendor
expects to move his family over from
Paonia in a few days.
Miss Dearborn, one of our teach
ers, will leave for Denver tomorrow
to spend the holidays. 1t is a mere
coincidence that H. w Gould hap
pens to be leaving at the same time
for the same destination.
Plans have been under considera-
tablishment of creamery at this
place No reason exists why an en-
terprise of this kind should not be
entirely successful and profitable.
Dairy COWS can be had, and no place
on the Western Slope is better pre-
pared to furnish feed for them. 1t
is the Chronicles hope that cream
cry will be established soon.
F. c. Paist, chancellor commander
of the Paonia Knights of Pythias
lodge, made inquiries while here Mon
day and found enough members Of
the order here to start charter list.
The expedieny of organizing lodge
here is being considered and it is
quite likely that favorable decis-
ion will be arrived at. There is
plenty of good material here for an
enthusiastic lodge. Many young men
will be glad of an opportunity to
join this splendid order.
The youth of diaphanous costume
has been busy of late. On Monday
he conducted Fred A. Pace and Miss
Nellie E. Billmire to the Baptist
parsonage in Delta, where Rev. ia
cobs duly joined them in matrimony.
On arriving in Hotchkiss tin-pan
orchestra did them the honor of a
serenade, and Wednesday evening
at the Pace residence on Missouri
flats, the friends of the young peo-
pie gave them an old fashioned CHR
ivari. All who know them wish them
a long and happy life.
Fred Foster, one of our prosper
GUS merchants, last week went to
Salt Lake City to meet Miss Carrie
e. Grier, an accomplished young
lady who came from California for
the meeting. They were married in
Salt Lake City by Rev. f. b. Short,
pastor OF the First NJ. Il. church of
that city on Thursday last. After the
ceremony the happy couple returned
to Crawford, where they were the
recipients of the hearty congratula-
tions OF multitude of friends, as
well as many appropriate gifts. Both
bride and groom are well known
and popular. The Chronicle joins in
wishing them a long and prosperous
journey through life.

ABOUT APPLE ORCHARDS.

In both cases they get air and dry

of trees from hard watering from
wells that were strongly alkaline.

We believe in Decentralization
and our largest crop of apples
grown in Otero county came one
year when we had one hundred
hives of bees in one orchard and
the same number near the other
one. We use what may be called
the open system of pruning, taking
out the centers OF the young trees
and where older orchards are ac-
quired we are doing the same thing
so far as insuring symetry and bal
ance to the tree will permit. Under
this system the trees bend every
way from the center, easily carry
ing their fruit. We use no PROPS
and rarely find limb broken. Most
of our apples are picked from tho
ground.
This plan of growing apple trees
we find in every way best for pol
lination, air drainage. pruning.
spreading trees catch little wind and
we have few windfalls. We use the
