Lewiston.-The years just closed
has established new record of land
sales for the planting of orchards,
the Investments aggregating be-
tween 100000 and 100000. The
Lewiston orchard company's original
plans provided for carrying on all
features of the development of the
district proportionately, and in pros
ecuting these plans only a certain
area of orchard lands has been set
aside each year to be marketed.
Never before have the sales reached
the quantity the company has been
willing to sell, but with the closing
OF the business for 1910 the sales
reports have shown that the entire
acreage set aside for last year has
been disposed of.
The company about a year ago ad-
vanced the price of land in the orch
ard district 500, the former minimum.
being 5000 per acre, while the price
last year was $500 per acre The
reports show that sales of the year
are 60 per cent larger in area than
an previous year. The aggregate
acreage sold during the year is in
excess of 1000 acres.
Last year marked the beginning of
the orchard culture under the per-
sonal direction of the company. and
during the season more than 1900
acres of orchard lands, as well as
500 acres of general farm lands, were
handled by the company's outfit. 1t
is matter of much satisfaction to
the management that the manner of
cultivation has met the hearty ap-
proval of horticultural experts and
with an increased orchard acreage
of at lease 1000 acres this year, the
company has provided for even
more systematic plan of cultivation.
The demands in this line have re-
suited in the adoption of gasoline
power for cultivation purposes and
by this innovation the company will
operate its cultivating forces day and
night.
In the matter of planting, another
innovation has been introduced which
will have an important bearing on the
future of the district While the reg
ular planting win be confined to APP
pies of the standard varieties, a plan
of planting pear filters will be adopt
ed on about 500 acres, so that at the
time the orchard comes into bearing
the pear trees can. be removed with
out much loss.

The United States department of
agriculture is going to recommend
the establishment of a national park
and game preserve, to be erected
out of the Pecos National Forest,
and use il for the stocking of near

The national park will contain more

Spend Your Money in Dem
ing.

We don't believe that there is a
community anywherethat sends less
mouey to she mail order houses
than Deming. Well, we are glad
of it, and hope to see less of it this
year than ever.
Your home merchant is your
friend, he builds your schools,
churches, streets, sewers, hospitals,
etc. The mail order man makes his
millions profit and builds himself a
monument in some distant city.
The saving is about so per cent
imagination and the other so per
cent is the novelty of buying from
a catalog - sitting around and won-
dering what it will be like when il
comes chances are ten TO one that
it will be disappointing.
If a big assortment of medium
priced Christmas goods is any in
centive to buy at home, you will
surely keep your money in Deming
this year.
Think it over-put yourself in
the other fellows place look over
the big stocks and decide to do the
right thing, even if it does seem
that's alD that you are squander-
ing few pennies.
