than 1000 gallons minute.
Big Orchard Area.
There are more than 5000 acres OF
apple orchards in Chavez county, Of
which Roswell is the county seat, and
this is being constantly added to. The
apple industry is protected by proper
and stringent spraying laws from the
raVages Of the cOddling moth, the only
enemy of the apple in the valley. The
spraying has been reduced to an exact
science by the horticultural board hay
ing 1t in charge.
Most Of the $4,000 acres of land in
agricultural use are irrigated either
from the North or South Spring rivers,
the Berrendos, the Felix or the arte-
sian wells. The companies furnishing
water for irrigation charge a mean fee
OF S1.25 per acre for what is claimed
to be abundant water to mature farm
crops. Under the private ownership
and the use Of wells the cost is much
reduced.
There are about 500 artesian wells
In Chaves county, the field extending
from few miles northeast Of Roswell
to the southern boundary Of the coun-
~, and the belt is from II to 40 miles
wide One well furnishing 1900 gall
Ions Of water per minute is abundant
~ sufficient to properly irrigate 100
acres Of land. The wells are from $50
to 1000 feet deep, and the cost Of drill

Agricultural development is by no
means confined to the valley proper,
as much land is being taken up on
the great plains that form the eastern
part Of the country where the rainfall
is appreCiably larger than along the
Pecos, and where the application Of
dry farming has made available the
wonderfully rich soil Of the great
prairie. Little towns are spring1ng up
all over the mains a 4 result
With irrigation and proper cultiva-
ton all of this land Is immensely fer
tle-producing four to six crops of
alfalfa per year 70 bushel oats, so
busheI corn. and almost all crops
known in the temperate zone.
Stock farming, now in its infancy,
although its valuation reaches large
sums, offers many opportunities Of
cheap lands suitable for ranch head
quarters, for either cattle or sheep,
and these industries have a vast ex-
panse Of free, open range direct at
hand for the use Of their Eocks.

The folding chairs on sale at pres- ent in this district, of which the Uni- ted States has it's share. range from a vanished birch chair with perfor- ated wood seat, consisting of eight parts beside the seat, which sells for 65 cents, to one selling for $245, with Slatted seat and spindled back, 25 inches high and 16 1-2 wide, or suf- ficient strength and finish for garden use. Between the above range are numerous others, with both veneered maple and slated seats, slated and spindle backs, and others with can vas seat and back, which sell at S5 cents, Sl.t5, $1.25 and 8.
 Retailers in this district state that it is not customary for such articles to be bought in Liverpool directly from the United States, being supplied by large jobbers and agencies in London. One firm, however, does import arti- cles of a like nature direct, and ex- pressed it's willingness to comnuni- . cate with the American manufacturer with reference to the agency for the article referred to. The name of this firm is mentioned first in the list of furniture dealers doing business in this district which is forwarded. Con file in the bureau of manufactures.)- Vice Consul George B.

Talking Admiral.

ssThe unlucky experience of Com nlander Sims. growing out of his ef- fusive speech in London about the Hast dollar and the last drop of blood,'' followed closely as it has been by the indiscreet speech of the Japan ese admiral at Panama, criticising President Taft's proposal to fortify the Panama canal, serves to show that however distinguished sailors have be- come in their chosen calling. they are not adept after-dinner speakers. It is not 50 many years since Admiral Coghlan, one of the heroes of Manila Bay, created an international incident by his "Hoch der Kaiser speech, and Fighting Bob Evans has on more than one occasion got into more or less trouble by indiscreet utterances.
 Our naval friends should cultivate greater diplomatic equipoise, and if they find that they are not capable Of opening their mouths after dinner without putting their foot in it, they should shun after dinner speakin g It is a dangerous pastime for any pub lie man, as even Emperor William oi Germany himself has discovered or several memorable occasions, and the record seems to indicate that the habit is peculiarly fatal to our fighting nava' heroes.-New.

A Gradual Process.

If the republican party has any de- sire to carry Connecticut in 1912 it wants to work for organization, in stead of disorganization, or the 26,000 republicans who stayed away from the polls last November may go to the polls two years from now and vote the straight democratic ticket.-Norwich h Bulletin.
 Reorganization of republican leader ship in Connecticut cannot be brought about by "sne fell swoop." It must be by gradual processes, such as seem to be in the making: Nor would any sudden overthrow be likely to bring strength. change here and another one there. with 8 view to preserving rather than disrupting, would seem to be the less dangerous plan.

How Prove Rrihsry?

Hereafter how is bribery to be proved to the satisfaTtion of a senate committee? In the Lorimer case the investigators held that the confession of four legislators who said they were bribed was untrustworthy, since the four evidently were no gentlemen. If the bribe-giverS had united with the bribe takers in the confession, there still would have been evidence for the committee to accept, because it would have suspected collision be- tween undesirable characters.
 Apparently the only thing that would satisfy the seante committee would be for veery bribery transaction to be carried out in the presence of at least three witnesses with a notary present to take their affidavits on the spot. With the afIidavits in hand, and with an opportunity to cross examine the witnesses to make sure of their credbility, the committee might de- eide that perhaps a degree of suspi- cion did attach to the natter.-KansaS City Times.
