Deming. y. NJ, Feb 26.-Kingsbury
san born. one Of the most prominent
irrigation engineers Of California. and
a well-recOgnized authority on under
ground water and the pumping OF
water for irrigation, has been in Dem
ing for the past week investigating the
possibilities of irrigation and agricul-
tural development in the Mimbres val
ley for the purpose OF reporting to a
group Of California capitalists who are
contemplating investments here. Mr..
SanDorn is consulting engineer for the
Riverside Water company. Riverside,
CALI, for the Citizens Water com
pany- San JacintO, Calf. and for
various other similar concerns in Cali
fornia- Arizona and New Mexico He
came here from Roswell where he had
been employed by the Pecos Valley
investment company In laying out
their water distribution system on its
tract near Roswell.
Asked concerning his Impressions Of
this valley, Air. Sanborn said
Praises the Valley.
Il think Deming has the most eIe-
giant body Of lrrigable land surrounding
It that have ever run across in my
long experience in irrigated sections.
I have actually been unable to find in
all this great extent OF valley any poor
land. It is uniformly level rich easy
Of cultivation. and is generally, the
finest body Of land that 1 have ever
seen The water conditions here are
superb, the railroad facilities are bet
ter than those Of many larger cities
than Deming. From a study OF all
the conditions bearing upon the situa-
ton. I confidently predict that within
Eve years there wiz be an increase in
the cultivated area IN the vicinity Of
DenlinE Of at least $4,000 acres.
Pumping System Best.
Mr.. Sanborn is enthusiastic for the
pumping system as against any other
system of irrigation He says. With
the pumping system there are no
bitches TO be kept in repair. no floods
to be cOntended with. no foreign seed
to be deposited on the fields. no wait
ing your turn for water in times Of
shortage; in short, the underground
water. or underfiOw. is the greatest and
most perfect supply OF water for irri
cation in the world You have here"
continued Mr.. Sanborn, about the same
proposition that we had in Riverside,
Calf, IS years ago Now cultivated
land is selling there for $500 per acre,
and raw land with no prospect Of
water is selling 1Or 800 per acre
Mr.. Sanborn declared that the water
supply in the AIimbres valley is absO-
lutely permanent. nature having done
for this valley what il is necessary for
man to DO in many valleys Of Cali

who had much of their years crop
destroyed or injured by the incessant
rains Of the earlier part OF the season,
have planted late crops and are now
claiming that the late crops will be
much better than the earlier crops,
and are expecting to reap good years

periepced during the early part of the
sc ason.
Hundreds of farmers of the section
have planted an extensive crop of
eighty FIVE day corn and are expecting
it to mature and make an excellent
crop long before there is frost this
fall. Many of those who had their
early crops destroyed have planted an
abundance of late potatoes and claim
that the prescn prices warrant the
planting of hundreds of acres OF po-

Grass For The Horse

We often wonder why more effort is
not made by team owners and even by
tirmers, to supply their horses with
fresh green food in spring and summer.
OF course many will tell you that their
hoses will lose flesh, the good hard
fat of the winter. if given grass Well,
suppose they do. Is it not better to
part with some of that surplus weight
when it means thinning down and puri-
f. ing the blood?
A year ago we turned out to grass,
three or four hours day, mare that
we had been unable to cure of ten
dency to scratches. BY autumn the
trouble had wholly disappeared and it
has rot returned. The skin beneath
the fetlock joints is as soft and smooth
"a on any part of the body. All this
time she was used in harness almost
daily. What paradise it must be
for the city horse to get few days in
a pasture. Begin slowly in feeding
grass at first, and no trouble from collie
need be feared. Then think of the hot,
dry feet back once more on cool mother
earth!-Dumb Animal magazine.

His fate was like alkali on his palate.
For twelve hundred miles he had ran

iorie would never marry him. lie did
not blame her. He blamed fate.
He was in solitude in the smoking
room. The place reeked with drifting
cigar stubs and cigarette ends. His
plans were as useless and odious as
cigarette ends. He dropped into a
chair, his elbows on his knees and
his head in his hands-Napoleon on
st. Helena.
And then, suddenly he heard Mar
jorie's voice. He turned and saw her
hesitating in the doorway. He rose
to welcome her, but the smile died
on his lips at her chilly speech:
MAY | have a word with you, sir?''
"Of course. The airs rather thick
in here" he apologized.
Just watt" she said, ominously,
and stalked in like young Zenobia.
He put out an appealing hand: Now.
Marjorie, listen to reason. or course
l know you won't marry me now"
"Oh, you know that. do you?" she
said, with a squared jaw.
'But, really, you ought to marry
me-not merely because love you
and you're the only girl | ever" He
stopped short and she almost smiled
