Crops Are All Doing
Well

Carlsbad. n NJ. May 17-'This sec
ton of the Pecos valley has received
another rain, which was In the ma
ture OF a genuine soaker and was
welcomed by all branches Of farming
industry. On an average of once ev-
cry month a rain has fallen in the
valley since January, and as a conse-
quence the valley never presented a
better appearance, nor was the fruit
crop ever more promising or the grass
on the range in better condition.
The last rain caught considerable al
falfa hay down. which had just been
moved the day before, but the farm
ers are all jubilant over the rain and
willingly sacrifice the small loss of
hay for the general benefits to be de-
rived from the rainfall.

ton of the valley is about three times
what was in at this time last season
and the amount of hay which is being
marketed from Carlsbad will be far

win be changed this year and already
