his cotton was ginned he had 1880

w o. HOdgsOn, supervising farmer
on the reservation, has introduced q
new system on the school farm at Sac

into ten acre tracts and each tract is
given to two boys to work. They go
to school half the time and work half
the time, and one-fourth of what they
produce is their own. Next year seve-
raj other tracts will be turned over
to the boys. This is a system that

PUMPING GROWS IN
FAVOR IN VALLEY
Railroad Station of Santa Fe Road at
PeeOs is Being Improved; Capital
lists Visit Valley.

PecOs, Tex Dec 19-That the
pumping proposition continues to gain
favor throughout the Pecos country, is
being demonstrated daily. G. w. stan
cliffe, a pumped water farmer, of the
Sandia valley, a tributary of Toyah
creek, near Saragosa, says he will
farm 40 acres under pump next season.
Mr. Stancliffe says he will plant can
taloupes again in 1913. Even IL
couldn't find a market for my canta1-
oupes, ] would plant them anyway,
Just to feed my hogs on. Hogs thrive
on these melons, as I found out this
year, where I tried it with Is hogs OF
my own"
Mr.. Stancliffe has an 11-inch well,
with a 30 horse power gasoline engine.
He farmed ten acres in 1912, and
states that it cost him SO the acre for
his water for the season. In what is
known as the shallow water belt' of
the PecOs and Toyah valleys the lift
is not heavy and Mr.. Stancliffes ex-
perience shows that the cost of pump
irrigation in the Pecos country rs not
greater than that under the so called
gravity systems

FARMERS OF QUAY
FIGHT PRAIRIE DOGS

Tucumcari. n. NJ, Dec 19.-Kohn
brothers. Of MontOya, have started a
fight for the determination of the
prairie dogs on their farms, using a
mixture of cyanide of potassium and
strychnine, with wheat. The work was
begun a week ago, since which time
two men with wagons have been busy,
Others in the vicinity are also using
the poison and traps in the hopes Of
getting rids of the pets. The animals
are said to waste large tracts of graz
ing lands, in addition to the harm
which they do growing crops.
l. P Konkler, formerly of Jackson
county, Oklahoma, has settled on a
claim near Rama Mr.. Rush, of Galena,
Kas., has settled near Happy Hollow.
William WoOley and family, of Pa
ducah, Tex, have located near San
Jon. Hugh Horne has returned to the
county after having sought a location
in Texas. Ralph skinner has returned
to his claim, after having spent a year
in Kansas.
J. V. Carter has shipped another car
of bear grass from the San Jon neigh
borhood. A broom corn buyer from
Amarillo, Tex, was in the county this
week buying broom corn.

INTEREST TAKEN IN
ROSWELL EXPERIMENT
Underground Conduit system OF Water
Distribution Is Expected to Solve
IRRIGATION Problem.

Roswell, n. NJ, Dec. 19.-Those in
terested in the pumping development
of the higher lands of the valley are
watching with much interest the con-
struction and installation of the IN
foreground cement conduit water dis
tribution system on the South Spring
orchard
The Pecos Valley Investment CON-
pany, which owns and is developing
about 5000 acres of the old Hagerman
land at South Spring, is now cOmplet-
ing the installation Of the first unit
of this system Experts from Califor-
MIA were brought in to superintend the
work and the unit now being COM
pleted is precisely like many Of those
in use throughout California.
1t is necessary to construct over
three miles of conduit for this first
tract, which contains 400 acresA The
6-inch conduit weighs over a hundred
pounds TO the two foot section and
the smaller in like proportion. The
ends of each tile are made to secure
a bell and chime fit As the tile are
laid together the joints are cemented
and wiped much the same as a plumb
er's joint, making the pipe absolutely
waterproof and smooth on the inside.
1t has been demonstrated that tile
of this kind laid in this way will save
from 40 to 20 percent of the water
pumped, that is otherwise lost
through seepage and evaporation
from the open ditch. The underground
uAlCA AldkeS dNdlldD4e a COnSlQeIdDl9
area usually devoted to bitches and
weeds and it guarantees against the
Sub-irrigatiOn of the land adjacent to
the ditch and one is sure he will not
be spreading weed seed upon his field
when he irrigates for the water never
touches the soil from the time it
leaves the pump until it spreads over
the land to be irrigated.
Men interested in securing the full
est efficiency from the water supply
of the valley are watching the install
alton at South Spring very closely as
