which is so common in the east. IL IS
q well known fact among cucumber
growers of the east that whole Llelo
OF cucumb ers may be practically ruined
during the growing season by one NOT

valley, and the general desert conul-
tions, insure cool nights the year
round. Early cucumbers come on the

CauIlfIOyver Grows Wei.
At the present time, manufacturers
of table condiments import most or the
cauIiflOWer which they use from Hol-
land. The Importation OF caullLlOWer
into the Mimbres Valley would be en-
tirely unnecessary. as cauhIlOWer Is
grown here of a quality equal to any
that can be imported. Furthermore,
beans, tomatoes, cabbage and chill pep
pers are produced here In the greatest
abundance. and all Of these vegetables
ar. used in the manufacture of pickles,
catsup, choWchow, sauerkraut, etc. Be
sides this, sorghum cane is grown very
prOf1tably even as a forage crop, pro-
ducing as much as seven and eight
tons Of dry feed to the acre. Molasses
and vinegar are manufactured from
sorghum, and are valuable as adjuncts
to condiment manufacture.
The climate is also great asset TO
manufacture Of this nature. The dry,
cool air allows the factory a much
longer time in which to handle the
vegetables after they leave the truck
patch, since they do not spoil so readily
as IN a humid climate.
With all Of these favorable condi-
tions, there is no doubt but that there
viii be a factory of this nature estab-
Ished in Deming as soon as the prOpo-
sition can be brought to the attention
Of the proper people.

The Admission OF Texas
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.

The pivot of the mighty see-saw be-
tween the north and the south. which
fairly began with the Missouri compro-
mise Of 1920 was slavery; and slavery
was the bottom question in 1874. when
the matter of the admission OF Texas
was engaging the country's attention.
Headed by the great John G. Calhoun
the south said we must have Texas or
slavery will go by the board" while
the north said For that very reason we
do not want Texas" Clay declared
against the admission of Texas, and the
declaration cost him the presidency.
Van Buren,, the political opponent Of the
great Kentuckian, agreed with him
about Texas, and he. too, went down.
Calhoun was too powerful for them.
Through the door that was opened the
Lone Star state entered the union. the
war with Mexico followed. and the rest
is best told in the words Of Sunset
Cox. How frail and pitiable appears
our human. Wisdomi The south, IN the
interest OF slavery, succeeded in annex
ing Texas. Other vast Mexican terri
tories were acquired, over which il was
hoped slavery would be extended; but
II was soon found that a large part Of
the golden prize was appropriated by
their opponents, and in the end the in
stitution Of slavery itself tottered 10
its fall"

OF THE AIR
MEN IN Ell PASO
Chas. F. Willard, Boy in
Age, but Has Been Fly
ing a Long Time.

Charles F. Willard, boy veteran of
the American school OF aviatOrs, is in
FL Paso. Willard, accompanied by Mrs.
Willard and P ]. Young. his manager,
arrived Saturday from Mexico City en-
route to Los Angeles to participate in
the annual aviation met on January 20.
Willard. although not vet out of his
20s was Glen Curtiss's first pupil, and,
with the exception of CuTtiss and 0uville
and Wilbur Wright. who no longer give
exhibition flights, Willard IS the dean
of the American air corps.
His recent pilgrimage to Mexico was
not a complete success. The air there
Is high and dry and chOppy," Willard
said SATURDAY. Flying IS no fun in
an altitude as high as that, for the
ground Is liable to fly up and hit one
in the face if anything goes wrong and
It becomes necessary to drop 100 or
more feet to get out Of the Swiss cheese
air holes"
Wiiliard's record during the three
wears that he has been flying IS re-
1n9rkable one. He learned his Grade"
al Wineola. Long Island, three years ago
under Glenn Curtiss. Since that time he
has flown hundreds of miles and in one
machine he made a record OF flying over
loo hours at an average speed Of 40
miles an hour.
The Noisant International Aviators,
who have been flying in Mexico City,
arc expected THROUGH FL PasO en- route to
los Angeles about January Is. The
International crew includes Miss Har-
riet Ouimbv. dean of the wOman's corps
Of fIVers and special writer for Leslie's
Weekly. and Miss Matilda MOisant, sis
ter of John MOisant, who was killed at
