The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-04-16
(By Wagner)

There is chance that Manager McCann may land Elmer Duggan. who played with Holyoke until that team disbanded last season. Duggan signed with the St. Louis Browns af- ter he left this league and was taken to Montgomery. Ala., with the squad this spring. He did not stick with the American leaguers and a few days ago wired the Mechanics manager asking for a job. McCann sent him a telegram offering him a trial if he would report at once. Since then the local manager has heard nothing from Duggan. He hopes the player has left Montgomery for this city but the fact that Duggan has not answered leaves the situation in the air. Dug gan played first base for Holyoke but is also a star outfielder. He was al- ways a. heavy hitter in this league and if he can be landed will prove valuable addition to the Bridgeport club as an outfie1der.
 Manager McCann is anxious to get his club in good shape for the open ing of the league season. He realizes that the present lineup is not strong enough. On next Friday he plans to take another trip in search of play CTS. Manager Wolverton of the New York Americans has promised to give him a left hand pitcher little later. There are three young southpaws who will be farmed out. Hoff, Clark and Sykes are the three possibilities and either one would be welcomed by the Mechanics. The local boss would also like to get look at Outdelder Carroll if the Troy outf1elder ever decides to leave his job of coaching a school team in New York state. At any rate McCann declares he will have another outfielder and one inf1elder before the first game with New Haven is played.
 As predicted a month ago, the New York Americans have sent Benny Kauff to Atlanta of the Southern as. sociation. Albany was also after the former Mechanic but Manager Vol verton decided Benny deserved chance in Class A company because of his good showing in this city last season.
 Jack Hannifin has reported to the Holyoke club. He was purchased by Dan O'Neil from Elmira of the New

AN AGRICULTURAL
EXPERT IS NEEDED
Waste Through Misdirected
Farming Methods Results
in Grave Problem
CALL FCR FUNDS MADE
R.H.Case Tells Farmers$ $1,000
Are Available if $1,000
Are Raised.

The need of an agricultural eX-
pert was again brought up at the
meeting of the Mimbres Valley
farmers, Saturday afternoon, at
the Chamber of Commerce, and the
need of immediate action looking
toward the employment Of such
person was urged. 1t was pointed
out by many present that the waste
of capita and time through the
the misc rected effort of amateur
farmers in the Mimbres Valley was
appalling. 1t seemed to be the
consensus of opinion that this was
the most important question before
the people of this region.
FAILURE THROUGH IGNORANCE.
1t is no secret that some of the
finest vegetables ever produced in
any country were produced here
last season and allowed to rot on
the ground for lack of a market.
This might have been avoided had
the farmers studied the market
conditions relative to our section.
Many failure to make profits is
due to improper methods of dispos-
ing of the crop. A small number
failed to score success because of
the lack of knowledge of irrigation
methods, pumps, engines, etc,
while others lacked information as
to soil, preparation. cultivation,
seed and other practical agricultur-
al subjects. All this could have
been avoided had the services of an
expert been available.
LIBERAL OFFER.
K. II. Case, a member of the Real
Estate Board, went over the subject
and promised that the board would
give 81, 900 toward paying the sal
airy of an expert if the farmers dis
played any interest in the matter.
In addition he pointed out that the
Chamber Of Commerce probably
would give another 81 900, and that
still another 81 900 could be secured
through the crop committee of the
various boards of trade, as that
committee had already made the
offer contingent on the raising of
sufficient amount in the county to
pay an adequate salary. This last
was endorsed by the government,
he said, which would guarantee
like amount after the first year if
the local organizations were able to
continue their part of the payments.
OFFICIAL CALL.
The following is again published
for the benefit of those who wish to
get behind this movement in sub
stantial way:
The most important question that
has come to your attention in the
history Of the Mimbres Valley is
presented now for your immediate
decision.
The crop committee, sanctioned
: by the United States Department of
Agriculture and the New Mexico
Agricultural College, offers a con-
tribution of 81 900 in cash toward
, the salary of an expert agriculturist,
, horticulturist and irrigationist in the
, Mimbres Valley. He will be hired
by you, be absolutely under the di-
rection of board selected by you.
He will be subject to dismissal at
your discretion il he does not make
good. This expert will act in the
capacity of an agricultural adviser.
A detailed report of what he is do
ing will be published weekly in your
local papers. His Office will be in
the Chamber of Commerce or in the
court house, as you may elect.
} He will organize farmers clubs,

water he pumps, as he could If Cd.
Grating an oil or gas power plant.
And, finally, wood will soon become
scarce and expensive, If used very
generally for this purpose.
1T is not necessary to discuss the
subject at length from a negative
standpoint-to to give all the reasons
why certain fuels are unsatisfactory.
The whole subject may be sum-
med up in statement that the
ranchmen of California have lately
made unusually thorough investiga-
tions, and seem to have solved the
fuel problem. The solution is crude
oil. But the statement must be
qualified. The Eastern oils mostly
have parailine base. Such oils may
be used in a crude oil engine. The
California and Texas oils have an
asphaltum base, and must be
topped" by a limited distillation
before they are adapted to fuel uses
in an oil engine. These last are the
available oils for southwestern
ranches. These oils range in price,
at almost any Arizona railroad sta
ton, from five to six cents per gal
lon.
These engines are guaranteed to
furnish one horsepower per hour
with n consumption of not more
than one pint of oil.
How much power is required to
operate a pump?
"One thousand gallons of water
will weigh $500 pounds. Suppose
the lift is 40 feet. $500 40 equal
332, 600, and $4,000 divided by
$4,000 equal 10. Ten theoretic horse
power will lift 1000 gallons per min
ute forty feet high; but, allowing
for friction and other losses, say
twenty horsepower.
An engine of this power con-
sumes about two gallons per hour, or
81. 80 for ten hours.
The result of ten hours pumping
would be 600, 900 gallons enough
water to equal two inches deep on
nearly twelve acres; but allowing
for waste, say ten acres.
This means two inches of water
ON an acre of land for fifteen cents
in fuel value. This estimate of
course does not include the haul OF
oil from the railroad station, nor
wages of the operator. These must
be governed by local conditions.
But, after including all items of ex-
pense, the cost of the pumping, for
depths less than 100 feet, seems to
be not much greater than of gravity
waters, and in some cases even less.
There are thousands of ranch
men who do not require more than
enough water to irrigate five acres
and a ten horse engine would be
sufficient. BY doubling the theoretlc
horsepower, so as to be safe, the
following table will show the power,

PUMPING SYSTEM
PROVES ITSELF
Facts Relative to Irrigation
Methods as Practiced in
Mimbres Valley
HORSE POWER NEEDED
Practical Questions Regarding
Fuel, Pumps and Engines
Are Answered.

Does irrigation by the pumping
system pay? So many business en-
terprises appear practicable in
theory, but when worked out in q
practical way end in failure. So
many agricultural schemes have
ended in disappointment that the
American people are getting a bit
farm shy" and are coming to adopt
the Missouri motto: You gotta
show me-. That the Mimbres Val
ley has been able to demonstrate is
certain-so certain in fact that
Deming citizens are spending more
on advertising than all the other
cities in the state combined
MIMBREs VALLEY ADVANTAGES.
A few of the advantages of the
Mimbres Valley over other irrigated
districts of the Southwest are cheap
rich lands at from So to $50 an acre,
according to location; an unlimited
and pure water supply; an un-
equalled market and a progressive
community.
CHEAP AND RICH LAND.
The average price of raw land is
about $50 an acre. Relinquish-
ments at a distance from Deming
may be had at from 81 to $40 an
acre, and land close in varies from
$40 to $50 an acre according to the
improvement.
PLENTY OF WATER.
The water supply is the greatest
advantage of the Mimbres Valley
over other sections, as the whole
valley is underlaid by sheet of
water perrnnially renewed by rivers
that rise in the mountains and dis
appear in the sand. There are no wa
ter courses draining out of the valley.
The watershed consists of nearly
l,400 square miles of mountainous
country on which over twenty inches
Of moisture falls annually, or 49,
600 acre-fect. The purity of this
water was a great surprise to the
government chemists, who declared
it to contain only thirty parts of
solid to 100000 parts of water.
This water is found at a depth OF
from fifteen to seventy-fivc feet,
averaging about forty feet, and can
be pumped with profit anywhere in
the valley.
RAILROAD FACILITIES.
Deming enjoys the best railroad
facilities of any city in New Mexico,
having three lines, the Santa fe,
Southern Pacific and the FL Paso and
Southwestern. This means quick
hauls to distant markets that will
consume all that can be raised in the
whole of the valley at II handsome
profit.
ALL ABOUT PUMPING.
The advantages and the problems
of irrigating by pumping is set
forth in an exhaustive article in the
Progressive Farmer. The article
follows:
Economical pumping for irriga-
ton depends on many conditions
Among these are the following:
|. The price of fuel;
2. The depth to water;
3. The price of the products, and
4. The supply of ground waters
The fuel problem is difficult one
in many locations. Some ranchmeh
burn wood and utilize steam. Bat
steam as a power is open to many
objections. One is that it requires
more MECHANICAL skill than the aver
age ranchman possesses. Another
Is that steam plant requires con-
