COUNTY ASSESSOR STUMP
TELLS OF RECENT TAX LEVY

Luna county is chiefly a stock
grazing region and most Of the work
being done by the farmers. including
those in the Mimbres Valley is 'ex-
perimental" according to a statement
made by County Assessor j. A..
stump in explaining the shrinkage in
the small amount Of agricultural
lands reported in the Luna county
tax roll. Mr.. Stump said:
Last year the Luna county rolls
showed a great many acres Of land
which were supposed TO be agricul-
tural, but which should have really
been listed as grazing lands. While
do not say that such lands could
not be developed as agricultural land
The expense OF so doing would be to-
tally out Of proportion to the value
"f the lands, and so for the purpose
81 assessment they were listed as
razing lands. explained this phase
Of the subject to Travelling Auditor
Earnest when he was here and he
agreed with me that I had adopted
the most sensible course in assess
ing these lands as grazing lands in
stead Of agricultural lands. There
Is no limit to the amount Of agricul-
ture that can be successfully per-
formed in Luna county"

TAKE MOVNGP|CTURES
Of BIG M|ESSE TRACT
Parade Of Employees, Teams, and
Hundreds Of Agricultural lmple-
ments was over a Mile Long.
UNDERTAKING GREAT SUCCESS
A Large Crowd Of Deming Citizens
Were on the Grounds TO see the
Show as C0mpany's Guests.

The value of the crops grown this
year on the Miesse tract will be be-
tween $85, 600 and $4,000. This is
the careful estimate of o. l.. Bailey
who has had charge of the farm work
for the farmers who have not been
able to get on their land in time to
put il in cultivation this year The
crops are growing ON 5000 acres.
on which GOO, 900 pounds of beans.
900 tons of milo maize seed, 5000
tons of fodder and 1900 tons of al
falfa, it is estimated, will be grown.
REMARKABLE PROFITS
The work was done by the Illinois
Development Association, a mutual
organization of absentee land own
ers, which was so well directed that
it is, in the middle the season, So, ,260
below the estimated cost of develop
ment. The cost of producing the crop
is from S2l to $22 an acre and the
value from $40 to $50 an acre. It
will be seen from this that there is
a handsome profit left for the own
ers who have had nothing to do with
the actual work or management. IL
such profit can be realized the
first year, on raw land, farmed by
proxy" it can be readily seen that
the individual owner can make a
much greater profit through person.
al supervision and hard work. Per-
haps no other irrigation project ever
yielded an actual margin the first
year.
REAL WEALTH PRODUCED
BY adding almost 100000 to the
wealth of the county this year, the
Miesse interests have done much for
Deming and for agriculture in the
Mimbres Valley. It can be readily
figured what 100000 acres will pro-
duce when all the land in the valley
is in cultivation and when the rev.
enue from il passes to and through
Deming.
TOOK MOVING PICTURES
Last Saturday afternoon the Mes
Sc company had moving pictures TAX
en- of the work of development on
the 10000 Mimbres Valley AL
falfa Farms Company tract. The
films will show the work of prepar-
ing the ground for milo maize. cult
waiting beans. cutting alfalfa, irri-
eating, pumping, in fact all the var
ious farming operations carried ON
by the small army of men working ON
the tract. The teams, farming ma
chinery, and workmen were assem-
bled in n column to pass before the
camera. The column 'Tas almost
mile long and it took 600 feet of
film. There were numbers of DEM
ing citizens on the ground to see the
show and all are enthusiastic in their
praise of the way in which the de-
velopment is being brought to sue
cess.
The cutting of the first crop of
alfalfa is in progress and the yield
from alfalfa planted last May will
be from one half to n ton an acre.

tions and fittings. the grading of the

royals. This was overcalled by East, who
afterward stated that he thought West
