Deming and the Mimbres Valley

The stranger is never told confiden-
italy that things would be much more pros
porous if the town were not split up into fac
tons, because as a matter of fact there are
no factions in Deming, and every legitimate,
progressive movement has the solid backing
of the entire community.
In short, Deming is a town without any
apologies to make In the bright lexicon of
Deming and the Mimbres Valley there is no
such word as eff -

free from alkalies in damaging quantities.
You never hear the Mimbres Valley
farmer complain II would have made 4
much better crop if the water had come at
the right time because the AIimbres Val

This is the place we invite you to IN
vestigate. Opportunity knocks here: nOeone
else. Come and see if this is not true.
A representative Of one of the great
Insurance. and loan companies in the United
States Investigated the Mimbres Valley a
short time ago. and at the conclusion Of his
investigation he declared that his company
would be glad to put $1OO,OOOOO into this
valley for actual development Of farms as a
sort Of starter This man has been in
reclamation work all his life, and is prob
ably the best judge Of land and irrigation
conditions in the entire west. 49,
You can't expect land to remain cheap
in the Mimbres Valley for very long. The
conditions are here which are constantly
pushing up the price. Twenty-Five dollars
an acre for decided land eight or ten miles
out of town is a price which cannot be main
tanned for any great length Of time. Seven
tv-five dollars. per acre for land adjoining
the town is now the price; how long this
price can be maintained is hard to say, but
it is certain to be raised before a great while.
Accomplishments can now be purchased for
from So to $40 per acre, but the price Is
steadily advancing. tss
The point is, of course, that in order to
get the benefit Of present prices, you must
come now. Do not put off your investiga-
ton. The good things don't last always.
Life is short and cheap land is fleeting,
Eventually, land in the United States will
become as the land in the thickly settled
European countries, lie, practically off the
market But before this condition obtains.
land values will soar out Of the reach of the
ordinary man. The man who leaves his
children landless when he has the Oppor-
tunity Of purchasing cheap land, is,certainly
not doing his duty by them. a.,
Deming and the AIimbres Valley now
offer you absolutely the best proposition to
be found in the United States today. Every
condition is conducive to success, and prices
are now on rock-bottom. OF course, Deming
is going ahead whether you come or not, but
why not 90 ahead with her}
