THREE YEARS. TIME
PROVES EVERYTHING
The Mimbres Valley is Fav.
orably Known all Over
the Country
At Least 100000 Acres Fit
for Successful and Profit
able Irrigation.

Thoro knowledge of the resources
of the valley in water and fertile
land; ;.Sabsolute faith in these re-
sources, and the results of proper
development; energy and unbound
ed courage. These, well mixed in
equal parts, carefully and systema-
tically applied, are responsible for
the present state of development
accomplished in the Mimbres val
ley, and the assurance that it is to
be one of the most promising irri-
gated districts in the great south
west.
IL has been demonstrated beyond
the shadow of a doubt that at least
200. 900 acres of this rich valley are
capable of successful irrigation a
scope sufficient for a large popula-
ton of prosperous farmers.
1t has been demonstrated that
the soil of this valley is as rich as
any to be found in the United
States; that the water is the purest
in America, in abundant supply and
of easy access.
1t has been demonstrated that
this valley will produce any crop
and any fruit which can be success
fully grown in New Mexico, and
that all products have a superior
flavor.
The three years of experimenting
just gone by have wrought wonders
in this valley but the effort is now
paying big dividends. The period
of experiment, of taking chances,
of meeting the big problems of
raw land and unknown conditions is
now over. The pioneering is prac,
tically over. Resources have beer
proven; faith firmly established
The good news of conquest, of re
suits, is being heralded to the -four
corners of the earth; people are be
. coming attracted this way -Colum

for from SIS to 500 an acre. Re-
linauishments few miles out are
selling for from $40 to $50 per
acre. Decided land unimproved
from five to ten miles out brings
from $40 to $50 an acre.
Transportation facilities are ex'
tremeIy important factors in the
farmers financial success, and these
facilities are found in the Mimbres
Valley. The Southern p a.c Fl c
crosses Luna county near the center
and is transcontinental road; an.
other transcontintintal line, the
Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe
enters the county from the north
east. The FL Paso and Southwest
ern System connects at Deming
the ccunty-seat of Luna, with
the two other by branch road.

NORMAL INSTITUTE

1t has Been an Unqualified
Success from Start to
Finish
Deming Physicians Give Prac.
teal Lectures on How to
Teach Physiology.

The Luna County Normal lnsti-
tute, which will come to close to.
morrow, has been an unqualified
success from every point of view,
thanks to the excellent work of our
most efficient county superintend-
ent, Grace G. Goebel. and to the
ablest institute instructor in New
Mexico, Supt. }. B. Taylor, outside
aid being furnished by other noted
educators of the state.
Ample time has been given the
teachers for study and research by
holding the institute sessions from
700 a. m. to 1890 p. m. All in
struction has been made so plain
and practical that the teachers can
take the good ideas into their school
rooms and make Luna county
schools something worth while.
President Boyd, of the Univer.
sity, President Roberts, of the Nor.

Agricultural College, Mrs. 4. B.

Three Noted Educators Visit
Irrigated Farms and Catch
Deming Spirit.

II YOU have any doubt of the gen.
uineness of the enthusiasm of Presi-
dent ID. X. Boyd, of the University
of New Mexico, President F. II. II.
Roberts, of the Normal University
at Las Vegas, or Prof. w. I. Con-
way, Of the New Mexico Agricul-
tural College, concerning the devel-
opment and possibilities of the Min
bres Valley it would be a good idea
to talk with any one of these noted
educators personally.
They inspected some of our irri-
gated farms and market gardens,
last week, and it is safe to say the
country from now on will have no
more consistent boosters.
A view of the market gardens,
alone, convinced them there is no
more productive soil in the whole
world and a comprehensive study of
irrigation pumps, in ac ! o n, won
them over completely. They are
now Deming boosters in season and
out of season and are ready to swear
by our irrigation pumps and the
volume and purity of Mimbres Val
ley water. They are also good au-
thority on the splendid quality of
Mimbres Valley watermelons as
raised by Earl VanSickle, one of the
livest young farmers This wife tool
in the sunshine state. DR.. Boyd
said SO from the public rostrum.
On the occasion of DR.. Boyd's
public lecture, which was so richly
enjoyed by our people last week, he
said he could much easier boost the
Deming country than he o u d
talk about anything else. He paid
glowing tribute to this region so
favored in a thousand ways, anC
said he could always be counted OF
as a Deming booster.
DR.. Roberts endorsed the senti
ment of his friend and brother edu
Gator in both public and private, ant
DR.. Conway, who made days NOR,

presidents, said to the editor that h,
had never seen anything superior t
, this region in all his travels ant
quietly admitted that he never ex
pected to.
These noted men were quick t
catch the inspiration of this famou
region and keen to see the unparal
leled advantages offered here fo
those who come to this favored spot

frijole, more properly called the
California pink bean. About eight
cen inches of water is necessary for
growing crop of beans in the
Mimbres Valley; they are planted
in July and harvested in Septem-
ber; they yield 1000 to 1900 pounds
per acre, and the market price
ranges in Deming from four to six
cents per pound. This vegetable
requires n comparatively small
amount of labor. one man being
able to handle sixty acres.
Nearly every semi-tropical vege-
table grows luxuriantly in the MINI
bres valley, and the section is par
ticularly famed for its celery and
asparagus, which for flavor, crisp
ness and "unstringiness" are un,
eaualed in the world. While the
section is not old enough yet to
show any commercial orchards
still there ore trees in the yards
and in the gardens of Deming rep
resenting all the deciduous fruits
and the products of the trees have
encouraged the newcomers to sci
out large apple, pear and peach or
chards, which, of course, will not
bear for several years yet. There
is a well-grounded opinion that the
orchardist who gets in on the
ground floor in the Mimbres Vale,
with an orchard will literally coli
money for number of years, be-
fore the business settles down to
straight commercial basis.
With all the development thai
has been going on for two years
land values in the Mimbres Valley
are still extremely low. Irrigated
lands near town may be had II
small tracts for small cash pay
ments and the balance in terms t
suit, for $3.50 an acre. Unirrigat

having written him letter in which
he describes just the kind of a woman

The letter in part follows:
Il have just read your marriage Of

AUTOS AND SHOE LEATHER
What tho Modern Luxury VIII Cost
the Poor OF All Countries In
Foot Wear.

New York.-The tremendous growth
of the motor car industry is produc-
ing a scarcity OF leather so great that
in little over four years, according to
the leading authority in the New
England shoe trade. the price has ad-
vanced 70 per cent. the Toronto
Globe notes. This advance, he stated.
must inevitably result in an increase
of 20 per cent. in the cost OF shoes
all over the world. The interde-
pendence not only of nations In mat
ters OF trade and commerce. but of
the rich and poor, is strikingly illus
trated by the statement of the New
England expert Poor folk in the re-
hottest corners of civilization, who
rarely see a motor car. will be forced
to spend a larger part OF their scanty
income upon shoes, a necessity of ex-
istence, because rich people are pour
ing out money upon new luxury.
