FINE CONDITION

George Arnot, manager for
Gross, Kelly & Co., returned yes
terday from a week in the Es-
tancia valley, and went to Belen
this morning. Big purchases of
wool, especially along the cutoff
are being made by Gross, Kelly
& Co., this year.
Il have never seen the Estan-
cia valley in better condition, y
said Mr.. Arnot today. Beans
and potatoes are doing well
everywhere. One man is said to
have 100 acres of beans under
cultivation. These farmers have
planted their bean crop late, to
avoid bugs and weather changes,
both of which drawbacks are
scarcer late in the season. The
early oats seffered from frost,
but in beans and potatoes, | don t
see how the Estancia valley far
mers can be fooled out of a tre-
mendous crop. Albuquerque
