M|ESSE ALFALFA IS
CUT FOR FIRST TIME
From Ton to Ton and Half Will be
Cut an Acre Within Next Thirty
Days From Fields Of Tract.
LOO ACRES MAIZE AND BEANS
Absentee Landowners Will Realize
Profit Of Twenty Per Cent From
Work Done by o. e. Bailey.

Within the next thirty days from
II ton To ton and half of hay vii
be cut to the acre from the new 30C
acres of alfalfa ON the Mimbres Val
ley Alfalfa Farms Company tract
east of the city. The 500 acres oi
milo maize which was planted recent
~ Is up and good crop is promised.
The seeding of the 600 acres to beans
is about completed. The work is be-
ing done by the Illinois Development
Company of which o. +. Bailey, Mr..
Miesse's associate, is manager. for
absentee landowners who were unable
to dispose of their eastern holdings in
time to put in this years crop.
TWENTY PER CENT PROFIT
So efficiently and thoroughly has
the work been done that these alb
sentee owners will realize u profit of
twenty per cent on their first years
crop, and without effort on their
part. II is stated that $40 has been
clipped from the cost an acre of do
ing this work. which goes to show
what good and honest management
can accomplish.
WELLS GET STRONGER
Conditions on new development is
hardly ever favorable enough to al
low n profit on irrigation farming the
first year, or. in many eases. for
several years, but the Miesse inter
ests have been particularly fortunate
in this regard. The moisture holding
of the soil on the tract
has demonstrated that less water
than IN the average case is needed
to produce good crops. The wells.
too, have proven exceptional. For
six weeks twelve wells have been
continuously night and day,
some of them have developed as
much as forty per cent more water
than was produced at the beginning.
BY the first of the week twcnty-three
wells will be pumping. $. S. Carroll,
deputy state engineer, has just fin
ishcd the testing of the new wells and
them all to be up to the
standard.
COST OF PUMPING SMALL
The cost of pumping by electricity
has proven much lower than antici-
pated which has added Ia the profits
Of the farmers. The resident land
owners are very enthusiastic, and
many of the absentee owners will be
here this fall 10 engage in hog and
cattle fatiening in addition to gen
rral farming.
Twenty six miles of rabbit proof
fence has been completed with two
barbwires at the top. The roads on
the tract have been newly graded
and were dragged after the recent
rains so that they are as smooth as
When the planting is over
The four big tractors and twenty
teams will be put to work at new de-
velopment.
LARGEST WELL YET
The Dymond Agency is putting in
2 800 -gallon-a minute pump on the
Alfalfa Farms Com
pany's lands which will be the largest
well in New Mexico.

WOMEN IN JAPAN.

From the beginning Of japanese
history to the introduction OF Chinese
civilization, women occupied very
high place in Japan and filled posi-
lions OF importance and honor In
state. religion and household. says the
japanese Society Bulletin. Several
expresses at different times ruled the
empire. The greatest lights in the
world of pure japanese literature are
both women-Murasalgi Shilkiku and
Sci Shonason. Their superb produc-
tions-"Genii Monogatari'' and ma
kurano Soshi"-are strong proofs Of
= large measure Of liberty and Of high
position In society enjoyed by women
OF the time. 1t was chiefly the Con-
