MethodIst sanItarlum for state.

Silver City.-The Methodists Of the
United States are DESTROYS of locating
sanitarium in this state to be under
the supervision of the Deaconesses'
Association of the Womans Home
Missionary Society; with headquarters
at Cincinnati, Ohio. The church raised
matter of one million dollars last
year to be used for benevolent pur-
poses. Silver City, it is believed, will
put in a bid for its location in that
place. A donation of forty acres of
land near town, it is said, will secure
the institution.

A PARTIAL PEACH CROP

State College, Mesilla Park. N. M
In Investigating the damage done to
the fruit crop by the recent frost, the
department of horticulture at the New
Mexico College of Agriculture esti-
mates that there is still left from five
10 twenty per cent of a full peach
crop, providing that no freezing
weather occurs in April The chief
damage done to the peaches was dur
ing the extremely cold weather in
January, when something like half of
the dormant buds died, and the freeze
during March materially reduced the
number left. But in spite Of the in
jury already done there will still be a
partial crop if no further frosts oc-
cur The number of peaches left will
depend to a great extent on their To-
cation on the tree, their even distri-
button being essential to successful
growth.
Most of the other fruit has so far
escaped injury. The apricots and Jap
anese plums were nearly all destroyed
by the March freeze, but if the wealth
er continues favorable there will be
full crop of apples, grapes and
plums, these fruits having entirely es-
capped damage during the cold snap in
January.

ture of our civic life in which large

peculiar location of the town. base
ball is the only form of public recre-
alton in which the inhabitants can
take part on large scale and the gen
erous support that has been accord
ed the game in the past is in no
small measure due to a recognition
of this fact. 1t is the opinion of
thinking men that the community is
better community, morally and ply
sically, because of the clean sport
that has fourished here during the
past few years and it is to be hoped
that they back up this opinion by
their attendance at the meeting to-
morrow evening.
