A DEMONSTRATION
Of BEST METHODS
home Place Of n. n. Jacobs Offers
Conclusive Evidence That
Farming Is Science
ALFALFA BEST PAYING CROP
Should Not Be Seeded on Raw Land.
But In Fields That Have
Been Well Cultivated

ii. ii. Jacobs, former Iowa and
Idaho farmer, after two years ex-
pcrience in the Mimbres Valley, de.
veloplng farming property. has begun
to develop third farm about seven
miles west of Dcming. lie has l2O
acres of this quarter section cleared,
and about half of it plowed, leveled
and ready for water. lie is sinking
by II novel method an irrigation well
which will deliver when completed
eight hundred gallons of water a
minute. lie is sinking this well by
means of a bucket pump aud is now
down eighly-one feet, with six foot
pit, and has drilled hole in the bot p
tom of the pit To depth of two
hundred feet.
SMALL FUEL COST
The Sherman and Jacobs place,
four miles west oi town, holds the
record 81 far rs is known on econom.
ic delivery of water A test run was
mndc short time ago of fifty hours,
using I'm oil engine aud bucket pump,
and foriySix gallons of 6-cent fuel
was consumed. The pump was de-
livering 425 gallons of water against
II head of cighty-one feet. In the
fifty hours l.275,000 gallons of water
were delivered. or 80 acre feet,
bringing the fuel consumption down
To about 10 cents for an acre-foot
of water delivered against head of
eighty-one feet. There may be in
stances of lower fuel cost, but none
has so far been brought to public at
tention in this valley. This plant is
irrigating fifty acres of alfalfa on the
Sherman Jacobs place.
GOOD DEMONSTRATIONS
The Jacobs home place, five miles
west of Deming, shows the results OF
careful farming. Mr. Jacobs is har-
vesting oats this week that Is yield
ing srvcnty.lvc bushels to the acre
after acting as a nurse crop for al
falfa for several months. Mr.. ia
cobs says that no one should try to
SOW raw land to alfalfa, that no
amount of labor will put raw land in
shape for alfalfa the first year. lie
believes thoroughly in the corruga-
ton system for watering alfalfa,
and glance over his field would
convince anyone that he is right
Besides some thirty acres of oats
and alfalfa seeded together, Mr.. ia
cobs has considerable acreage in
Indian corn, milo maize, and two va
ricties of wheat, one of which, the
North Dakota Blue Stem, is especial
y promising. In addition to about
fifty acres of the crops above men,
toned Mr.. Jacobs has forty acres
prepared for beans, which will be
seeded at the proper time.
HARVESTING ALFALFA
Mr.. Jacobs has also interesting
advice concerning the harvesting OF
alfalfa. He declares that il should
not be cut until two-thirds in the
bloom, and that the hay should be
stacked and allowed to go through q
sweat before baling. This, he says
prevents NOW burning, and makes q
weiphtier and better quality of hay

The Corn Show.

Editor of The News: want
to congratulate you on the ear
nest efforts you are making to
get the people of Lancaster
county to attend the National
Corn Exposition in Columbia.
1t is certainly one of the most
remarkable displays that has
ever been in the South, so far
as quality and educational fea-
lures are concerned, and I trust
that many of our farmers and
their families will attend the
exposition this week as it con-
tinues all this week.
There is just one point that
/ wish to stress in regard to
this show, and that is the alb
.sence of the gambling and
amusement features that so
often prove so disgusting to
the visitors. All the merry
go-rounds, wheels of fortune,
dancing girls, fortune tellers,
etc., are conspicuous by their
absence, and the management
of the exposition are to be con-
graduated on eliminating this
feature. We think that the
management of the State Fair
ought to profit by the example
that has been given along this
line, if they expect to receive
the cooperation and support of
people of intelligence and re-
finement.
The Corn Exposition is edu-
cational from beginning to end,
and who would want better
amusement than to see the hap
py tomato club girls give their
songs and yells, make their
speeches and give their dem
onstrations in canning, or to
see the Winthrop girls give
demonstrations in cooking, pre-
pairing viands that looked good
enough for the Kings table.
shall not attempt to enum-
crate any of the features of the
exposition as they have been
emphasized in the columns of
The News, but / trust that all
who have not been to the show
will do so in the few days vet
remaining.
Just one more thought, is it
possible that the Lancaster
county citizens who attend this
exposition will imbibe enough
enthusiasm to organize a coun-
ty fair and thus encourage and
advance the agricultural pro-
gress of our county?
