himself a 10 to 9 favOrite in his bout

Both are old time fighters on the

Murphy is clever and has a punch, and
of Atteu nothing need be said.
From this angle 10 looks as though
both viii get through the 20 rounds
safely, although Atteu may be de-
pended upon TO put up a Desperate
effort to beat Murphy before that
time, as it would regain a lot Of the
prestige which he lost in his fight
with Kilbane
The two have fought several ten

baled alfalfa sold in the field in the
Mimbres valley for S14 per ton.
Roughly speaking. IL costs in the
neighbOrhoOd of $50 per acre per year
TO raise alfalfa in the Mimbres valley
This amount includes, of course, all
items of expense, such as 1924 per acre
for water, where the lift does not eX-
coed so feet, labor In irrigating per
acre season S1.40; seeding alfalfa, 81
per acre per year Zone seeding does Z
years and it costs $12 per acre to seed),
and raking; 81 per acre per season
for baling: $3.50 per acre per season
as depreciation Of pumping machin-
cry. The gross yield Of alfalfa in the
Mimbres valley IS seven tons to the
acre Marketing at 81 per ton, the
alfalfa on one acre brings in $9S per
acre per season Deduct $40 per acre
as expense Of raising same. and the net
return per acre per season is seen to
be SOS.
Well Managed Farm.
The farm from which the above fig
ures were taken is exceptionally well
managed, and probably the average
farmer cannot make this much. But
with any sort of care and manage
nent. the Aimbres valley farmer can
count on netting $50 per acre on his
alfalfa, when it can be marketed at
sI4 per ton. If the price is in eX-

is less, he receives prOportionately
less. It may be stated, however, that
