bursting through the milky way.
In the corridors of the temple of
justice of the western Kentucky
town a posse of men was silently
assembled in military file. On
theloutskirts of town a score or
more Of saddled horses were
champing at their bits.
Masks covered the mems faces
and a band of white, the ensign
of the night riders, circled each
breast. Silently they filed from
the corridor, four abreast, and
took up the march to the rendez-
vous where horses were hitched.
The few pedestrians who saw
the strange clan stopped and
spoke in whispers: "The riders
are out. Who pays the penalty
tonight"
The section was warning with
the tobacco trust, for a reasonable
market price for its tobacco. AT
ter years of maneuvering, the
trust had secured control of the
dark district market. The sequel
was arbitrary prices, made at the
will of the trust.

Mimbres Valley has natural monopoly on the
climate, soil and water which produce the best
melons, celery, cabbage, onions and other garden
truck in this general section of country These
conditions will eventually increase the price OF
land until it reaches the point compatible with
its earning power.
The same conditions, namely, its isolation,
gives the Mimbres Valley a high-priced market
for all kinds of fruits excepting citrus fruits.
Pears, grapes, apples, berries of all kinds cher
ries, peaches, nectarines, in short all kinds of
deciduous fruits produce abdndantly here and in

excellent flavor The elevation of the valley,
1900 feet, is the ideal elevation for apples as has
been abundantly proved. Fabian Garcia, the
well-known authority of the New Mexico Agri-
cultural College, states that an apple orchard in
New Mexico would produce net $500 per year
when it has gotten into full bearing and where
the trees receive the proper attention. And still
excellent apple-land is selling in the Nfimbres
Valley today unimproved for from $40 to $50
per acre.
Here are few figures: Onions, the round
globular Spanish variety have yielded $3.50 per
acre, cabbages $3.50, sweet potatoes 5000, and

The element OF location enters largely into
the value of even farm lands. Land near mar
ket is worth more because it takes less labor to
put the goods upon the market than it does from
farms more remote, and convenience to town
also increases the productive power of the land.
Again, climatic conditions or soil condi-
lions, Of certain section may be such as to make
possible the growing of certain rare products to
such an extent as to relieve the section of the
competition suffered by other regions in which
such conditions do not occur. For instance, farm
in the Mississippi VALLEYS in competition in the
raising of products with vast area Of country
where similar products are grown. The high
priced orange lands of California and Florida
are high-priced because the area for growing
oranges in this country is very restricted.
Isolated valleys, like the Mimbres Valley in
New Mexico, are at an immense advantage in
being restricted areas surrounded by vast
stretches Of mining and cattle-raising sections
where nothing can be done in the way of hOrti-
culture, agriculture or truck-growing. For in
stance the quality Of celery grown in the MINI
bres Valley is unexceled for flavor and market
ing facilities in the United States. The Harvey
System buys most of the available supply Of eel
cry raised in this valley at very fancy prices
Deming cabbage is famous in the southwest for
compactness and flavor, and command the top
of the market; Deming casabas have made such
a reputation in one season that Rocky Ford
commission firm has contracted for every casa
ba which will be produced here this season. Dem
ing watermelons crowd out their nearest com
petitors the Texas product, wherever the Dem
ing product is available. The qualities which
give the Deming product preeminence in all
these instances are flavor and shipping qualities.
These qualities are impaired by soil and water

This is aregion of high-priced. products 1t Z
is also a region of Iow-priced lands. These two
statements are apparently contradictory. Lands
are low-priced because the section. is new. Sim
liar districts elsewhere where agriculture and
horticulture have reached their full develop
ment, lands sell for from $500 to $1,000 per acre,
as against land of exactly the same ultimate
earning power here for from 800 to 500 per
acre. The difference is merely in the age. of the
community. Here development is three years
old, there development is ten and twenty years
old. IfyOu have plenty of money and wish to re
tire from actual business and dislike the bust
ness of developing new farm, perhaps you will.
be best suited in sections where land is now at
limit, $500 to $1,000 per acre. IF you wish to
make money, and desire to see your property in
crease in value from year to year, and like the
business of development, the Mimbres Valley is
the place for you.
