LOW PRODUCTION
In an interview with a representa-

that his reason for selecting the
Mimbres Valley was because he had
conducted experiments in water
melon growing at Columbus and hat
aseertained that larger tonnage Of
good quality melons could be growI
here than in any other section oI
the Southwest. What finally deter
mined him on this location, however
was the cheapness of the land whicl
assures a low cost of production O

ut is safe to say" said he, that
the stockholders Of this company
have had little idea Of the tremendous
work Mr.. Miessc has done. We will
recommend that an appropriation be
made at once for developing the re-
naming 5000 acres of the tract.
This work probably will start just as

the board Of safety has concluded 10

ascertain to what extent il will help.
The Siamese connection as explain

carries the water NOm the hydrant 10

instead of one, the two connecting on
one back of the nozzle at a sufficient
distance TO allow a single nose lot

that the loss of pressure would be re-
duced about one-third by this process,
as to the loss that takes place beyond
the hydrant.
Another test will be made as soon
as these connections can be secured,
and if they are thought sufficient, all
hose wagons will be equipped with
one Otherwise il will probably be
necessary TO buy pumps. two of which
will add some $4,000 to next year
