have to pay something near what ii Is worth for
the privilege of farming under such ideal cOndi-
tons In sections where values have come to be
recognized. The resources of the Mimbres
Valley have just been discovered Even the
most enthusiastic do not yet realize the tremen-
dous possibilities of the region. Land is there
fore cheap.
Raw land at the present writing sells for
from SIS to 500 per acre near town. Land
with water developed near town sells for from
$I25 to $3.50 per acre. Think of it! An I'M
gated farm with water In your ditch within two
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1912-01-03

An eastern editor refers jocularly to the pro-
ceedngs of the recent meeting Of the National
Irrigation Congress, saying that they were of no
particular interest IN the east where Providence
makes It wet and the legislature makes It dry
In the irrigated sections, the farmer Is dependent
neither upon. Providence no.. upon the legisla-
ture. The farmer himself makes his land wet or
dry to suit the needs of the crop he Is growing.
Particularly Is this so IN section irrigated
by individual pumping plants Where the
gravity system prevails, the farmer has the ditch
boss to reckon with; with his individual pump
ing plant, he IS absolute master of the water
question. He has a ready and powerful servant
in his pumping plant which delivers water
whenever he wants It.
This brings US to the point In the Deming
country, there are at least 10000 acres of rich,
level land recIaimable by pumping water from
twenty to ninety feet for irrigation. Each acre
can be made to yield the farmer from $50 to SIS
per acre net In beans and alfalfa; from $500 to
$500 per acre IN garden truck; from $500 to
$1,000 per acre IN deciduous fruits. Think of it!
Here IS an empire! Within the morning
shadows of the Florida Mountains which skirt
the southeastern edge of the Demng country,
lies the raw material for SIX thousand homes.
Tributary TO Deming Is a much larger area
capable of reclamation by the same methods.
Ages Of time have gone into the composition of
this desert soil At the touch of water, this soil
yields Its wealth as if by magic. 1t is as if the

miles of the best railroad centerin New-MeMco
for SIPS per acre!
The Deming country, however, offers a
wide range of investments, from improved, irri-
gated farms at $50 per acre to raw land re-
hnquishments for from 81 to SIS per acre.
Decided tracts can be purchased from 5 to 10
miles out at from $50 to SIS per acre.
The remarkable thing about land sales in
the Mimbres Valley Is that the persons selling
rarely leave the valley. They dispose of only
portion of their holdings, and with the money
thus derived, develop water and otherwise I'M
prove the remainder of their land A typical
case Is that of the man who has homestead of
100 acres. He finds that he does not have
enoug money to put wafer upon the entire tract,
and 100 acres Is more than he wishes to farm
anyway Whereupon he puts eighty acres upon.
the market, and with the money thus secured,
improves the remainder of his land. Thus no
money leaves the Mimbres Valley IN the trans
action; and the population increases. Money
and people are constantly coming IN; and few
go out The larger tracts of land are continually
subdivided, a process which will end with
family on every ten, twenty or forty acres.
This line of development Is destined to make
Deming the metropolis of New Mexico. Al
ready possessing railroad facilities superior to
any other town IN the state, the rapid develop
ment of It's unsurpassed agricultural resources
will give It's growth such impetus that its lead
will be assured and maintained for all time to
come.

dream of the alchemist had come true, and
process had been discovered whereby baser
metal could be transmitted into gold. A pound
of Mimbres Valley soil contains ten times as
much nOurishing salts as a pound of the richest
soil of Illinois,
Most districts In the United States of such
tremendous resources were discovered and
monopolized long since. Go into other regions
of this character, and you will have to pay from
$3.50 to $1,000 per acre for land. They know
