when he gets chance he is usually sus-
pected Of it. Each thinks the other is get
ting the better of him. and there is thus
always something to fuss about. The
wrangles the ill-feeling the lawsuits which
have arisen under ditch systems in time Of
water shortage would fill good sized IL
brary. Under the pumping system, on the
contrary, there is certainly nothing to inter
fere with neighbOrliness, so far as the water
is concerned. If your neighbor desires to
run his pumping plant all night, you harbOr
10 grudge against him for doing 50; if you
make a straight run of two weeks, you do
so at your own cost and on one is deprived
of drop Of water thereby.
Under many ditch-systems, farmers
who have already paid as much as fifty or
sixty dollars per acre for a water-right,
have learned how Indispensable the water
service is, and are now putting down irriga-
ton wells and installing pumping plants at
an additioal cost of $40 or $50 per acre.
Specific instances need not be mentioned.
Investigate irrigation in the southwest and
YOU will find the pumping plant supplant-
ing In many cases the canals of water-cOm-
panies. The irrigator under a ditch-system
who pays, say, $50 per acre per year for
maintenance whether he gets any water or
rot, would be only too glad to double or
quadrUple that amount If he could be as
sured Of water whenever he wanted il and
in as great quantity as he desired When
YOU double that amount you have the fuel

cost of pumping water in the Mimbres Val
lev at the average lift. But the initial cost
of the pumping plant per acre Is only one
half OF One-third Of the cost Of the average
water-right If, for instance, a water-right
by pumping costs $40 per acre, and a water
right under a ditch system costs $780, there
is difference in the cost of $40. The interest
on forty dollars at the prevailing rate in this
section is 81 per annUm. Add your 81 per
annum to the ordinary maintenance charge
of $3.50, and you have $3.50, and you have
a yearly charge which will almost cover the
fuel cost by pumping water fifty feet, the
attendance charge, the interest and depre-
citation charges, of pumping plant. Then
add to your ditch-Water charge the labor IT
takes to eradicate the weeds which your ditch
water brings invariably, and you have
cost which far exceeds the total Of every
charge which can be made against water
from a pumping plant In the Mimbres
Valley.
The Mimbres Valley Pumping Plant
is the cheapest, safest, most efficient, most
convenient system Of irrigation in the south
west.
The logic is irresistible. The facts are
incontrOvertible. He who runs may read
the evidence. It is written large In the
unexampled prosperity of Dening and the
Mimbres Valley. Even a hint to the wise
IS said to be sufficient; but overwhelming
evidence is awaiting the man who investi-
gates the resources of the Mimbres Valley.

Den1i1g and the Min1bres Valley

able is not matter Of chance, but is die
lated by the individual farmers needs
Thus, the system Of irrigation in the MINI
bres Valley is far superior to the ordinary
ditch system.
The following taken from the report
from an agricultural station in the south
west is Illuminating:
''The Station farm, as do other farms
which it prorates, receives its mrigating
water from the two main canals of the val
ley. The amount received HuctUates from
week to week with the flow Of the river.
Following heavy rains In the watershed Of
the river, the station farm, in common with
other farms in the valley, receives a con-
tinuous flow for several days or weeks.
During dry times of many years, water is
received but few hours once in eight days
from each canal. .... It is during the
periods of smallest flow that irrigation
water is commonly most needed"
The case here shown Is typical of the
gravity ditch. You get the least water when
you need it most; YOU get the most water
when you need it least. You pay for water
whether YOU get it or not. On the other
hand under the pumping system in the
Mimbres Valley, YOU get your water just
when YOU need it, as long as you want it,
and you never pay for a drop that you do
not get.
1t has passed into proverb that one
never has a neighbor and friend on a ditch
system. There is an atmosphere of eternal
suspicion. If man does not steal water
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1912-06-15

A news dispatch In a recent issue Of
The Herald was headlined thus: ''FloOds
damage irrigation bitches" To the man
who knows, those four words tell a long,
sad story. A long drouth, perhaps, is sue
ceeded by floods First, too little water;
then too much. When the floods have passed
and the river assumes normal proportions,
the bitches are damaged 50 that the water
is not available until the bitches are re
paired. And then these same floods that
destroyed the bitches bring the seed of
nOxious weeds for hundreds of miles, and
about the time the bitches are repaired, the
weeds start-shOrtage of water, floods,
weeds, shortage Of water again-that is the
vicious circle under many ditch systems.
Not so, however, where nature has pre-
pared vast underground storage reservoir
which rains in the mountains keep
constantly filled, and from which the
farmer by means of a pump can take the
water just as he needs it, Just when he
needs it, purified by splendid natural filter
Of sand and CRAWL, and strained Of all harm
full seed. The farmer who can obtain the
right water at the right time in the right
quantity has an insuperable advantage over
the farmer who has merely. a water-right,
with floods alkali. weeds and shortage in
the most important seasons.
In the Mimbres Valley, irrigators get
water when they need it; they pay for what
they get, not for what they are promised.
