We believe that no state in the
union today offers such exceptional
advantages to the genuine home
seeker as New Mexico, which has
been well termed the Land Of Sun
shine, Opportunity and Health.
Having gust our lot In Deming.
after Investigations thruout the
Southwest and the governor Of New
Mexico having designated June %
as Publicity Day, we believe a story
Of our great resources Is opportune.
The New Yorker believes that
Chicago is too far west TO ever be
entirely free from raids by "Indi-
ans and ST. Louis. Kansas City and
Denver well they are to them on
-ly Gases in the desert, on the direct
road to the Pacific coast. Some of
them may have may have heard Of
New Mexico, comparatively few Of
Deming.
The Mimbres Valley. which lies
around Deming. contains soil as rich
as the famous valley of the Nile
and It's depth Is unmeasured, it be-
ing made by mountain erosion
and vegetable decomposition for
centuries. Here you can grow any
thing that can be grown any where
with the exception of citrus fruits,
and wonderful profits are the re-
suit. Farming is accomplished en-
tirely by irrigation pumping, water
1.-THE purest In the world. 99.99) be-
ing encountered in inexhaustible
quantities at between 20 and 100
feet. The cost of putting water on
the land, by pumping. Is very much
less than any of the government
projects as published by the reclaim
alton service.
Alfalfa, one of our leading mon
ey making crops, last year netted
the growers $40 per acre. Pink
beans (frijoles) another mainstay
crop of this country netted over 800
per acre, last season.
Our farming proposition is only
three years old and yet an expert
enced Kansas irrigationist, told
the GRAPHIC this week that we had
advanced farther in that time
than any other Irrigated
section had in 10 to Is years. We
are away beyond any experimental
stage. Garden truck of all kinds
does well here. a market garden,
one mile from Deming, having net
ted the owners $1,000 per year for
the past 10 years, on only II acres.
Deming itself is lively city of
between two and three thousand
people and has all the advantages of
an eastern city of ten times its size.
We have electric lights, sanitary
sewer, telephone exchange. water
works. ice plant, six churches, hos
pital, lodges Of all kinds and large,
handsome, well kept stores, carry
ing the best brands of goods that
money can buy.
Socially Deming is equal in every
way to the eastern towns of its
size. and in many respects, far
ahead. And why not? Our popu-
lation is largely composed Of East
erners who have come here and
made good. A large per cent Of
them are college bred and thoroly
cultured. Nn@
II Is a fact. and one of which we
are very proud, that no town In the
United States sends more intelligent
young people to its great institu-
tions of learning and centers Of ed
ucational development, than this
gem city Of the Mimbres Valley
Deming, We are sending, this
year, students to the Boston Con-
servatory of Music. the University
Of Texas. Leland Stanford, Notre
Dame, University of Chicago, the
u. Of N. M, and one or two who
are at sresent studying abroad.
II is the red-blooded, live Ameri-
can citizen. who feels incumbent up
on himself TO get out into the broad
expanse of prairie and cause II to
blossom as the rose. and In the BIOS
soming process attain health and
and ease. The greatest wonder Of
people living on these sun-kissed
plains Is that people will continue
to exc out an existence, where six
months are required to prepare
for the other SIX months, and
where the Frost King dominates at
least one half Of his existence.
Deming has two excellent school
buildings, costing in the neighbor-
hood Of $4,000 and our schools are
second to none In the southwest.
New Mexico teachers are paid wag-
es far above the average. and Dem
ing Is the highest Of them all.
The United States has placed its
approval upon our claim 70 the
