by party under Professor 3 Kusa'

The tOating Islands. which at times

The islands originate from masses OF

ates are the Promoters.
WILL FARM THE MiessE LANDS
Have Already Signed 1000 Acres
Belonging to Farmers Unable to
Move Here Next Season.

Alva Johnson and o. +. Bailey are
engaged in the organization of a de-
velopmcnl company and are renting
all the lands on u cash basis formerly
owned by the Mimbrc, Valley Alfal-
IA CAIRNS Company aud the South
western Alfalfa Farms Company, but
now held by absentee farmers who
will be unable to move here during
the season. Other local capitalists
are interested in the organization
which will soon BE- Incorporated for
100000. In connection with the
farming of the land the new concern
will raise hogs and cattle for feed
ing. Negotiations are now pending
for the purchase of 100 blooded
brood sows. More than Il thousand
acres are now under contract.
Much of the lands of the Mimbres
Valley Alfalfa Farms Company was
farmed in this valley last year and
II great success was had. The new
company will handle the land for
inore recent purchasers. and il will
be put in the same excellent produc-
tive condition so that when the east
ern farmers are able to move here
they will find their farms returning
profits.
The company that opeated last
season raised 100000 pounds of
milo maize, 1000 tons of alfalfa.
1000 tons of milo maize fodder,
10000 pounds of beans. and baled
900 tons of native hay. Much of
this is being held for better prices.
The beans and grain are stored in
two barns one "a by 90 feet and the
other - BY 48 feet.
When this crop was growing il
was u wonderful demonstration Of
what can be done in the wonderful
productive Mimbres Valley and serv-

section. The new company will
bring new lands under the pillow and
will add to the attractiveness of this
