Southwestern Fills SiIOs
sends Special Man Into New Mexico
to Aid Farmers-Little
Interviews.
5. TRU1IBULL agricultural agent

for the E. P. & S. W. railway, has
IN returned from a trip through
northeastern New Mexico. Mr.. Trum-
bull has been experimenting the fill
ing of the silos on the Dawson branch
of the line, that were put up by the
farmers last spring. The railroad
promised all the farmers that it would
provide a silage cutter and would send
a man to super.ntend the filling of the
silos if the farmers would build sllOs
on their ranches. THE farmers are
taking up the silo question" said Mr.
Trumbul, "and the indications are that
where there is one silO this year, there
viii be five by next year. BY the slloS
the farmers get the mOsta immediate
returns. bringing in quick money" Mr.
Trumbull is planning to visit the farm
ers in other sections of New Mexico
soon. to make them the same silO prop
csit:On. In addition to his work with
the farmers Mr.. Trumbuu has been eX-
ploring the territory in Animas and
PIayas valleys in Grant county, n. NJ
near the border in the southwestern
part of the state. There are many
parts of this section all undevelOped,
he said in describing il, which show
fine natural conditions. There is very
good soil, the climate conditions are
good and from the surface conditions,
the drainage and contour of the dis
trict there is every indication that
water can be found near the surface.
AT present the United States geo
logical survey has man in the south
ern part of Grant county making de-
tailed study of the geology and water
resources of the vicinity As soon as
his report is available we will be in
position to give out any information
desired about this district. The land is,
for the majority, state and government
property. The government property
would be open to demonstrating. We
need to do little boosting about any
land" Mr.. Trumbull added. There are
so many live real esttae agents through
the southwest, that all we need to do
is to give out the information we have
CLEANED from our Investigations, and
the agents see to getting settlers on
the land We are called on a great
deal for information regarding differ
ent sections of the country
Mr.. Trumbuu will leave Monday for
the New Mexico state fairN at Albu-
querque.
Miss Margaret Ellington is without
doubt the best actress in Chicago" said
Frank S. Frickleton, who has just re-
turned from taking in the shows of
Chicago for a week. Her play within
the Law" is the best show of any
played in Chicago and she has taken
the whole town by storm. It is a rather
unusual thing for the president to en- +
dOrse play, but both president Wilson
and former president Roosevelt have
sent in their autographed photographs
with signed criticisms endorsing the
playiwh are exhibited in the theater
lobby. Wilson is on the right as you
enter and Roosevelt on the left"
Most people do not know that it
takes as short a time to get to Ysleta
on the interurban as it does to go to
Fort Bliss, but this is a fact" said
Frank Tobin. 1T takes just 40 min
uteS from FL Paso to Ysleta and the
trip to the post takes usually that or
a longer time With the Communication
rates, people are beginning TO realize
the advantage of living on the inter-
urban where they can have all the al
vantages of the country combined with
all the conyeniences of the city.
think this troublel with the farmer and
produce men will adjust itself when
more farmers settle in the valley. At
present there are comparatively few.
With a large number the valley farm
ers will undoubtedly have a farmers
organization like those in other sec
tions of the country, and these organ
izations will see that their stuff isl
properly packed and marketed.T

while was away" said Fred Field
man, 4 heard a noted artist say that
Of the 10000 American art students
who yearly study in Paris, only one in
that number really arrives. Most
people hearing this. Immediately class
the other 1899 as failures This I
think is very unfair. Why cannot the
study of art be looked upon in the
same way as the study of music?
Everyone admits that it is broaden
ing of ones education to know even a
little music, and everyone who learns
to play the piano is not classed as a
failure if they do not become famous.
1 would great deal rather have
children know a little art than to have
them know a little music. Even a short
art training teaches observation,
broadens ones appreciation of the
beautiful improves ones sense Of
color. and artistic color combinations,
and really means more to the individ
ual than the same amount of time
spent in the study of music"

There is a stronger movement in
valley land than has been for the past !
IS years." said r. c. Bailey, and there
is every indication that this activity
will continue. We are not selling any
valley land of our own. as we think |
it is too good to sell"
