E PAS0 RAISES
BIC FRUIT CROP
IN BACK YARDS
City Orchardists Reaping
Benefit of the Favorable
Season; Many Grapes.

FL Paso is raising big crops Of fruit
and grapes this year in back yard
orchards and vineyards Peaches
plums, pears and grapes never have
been so abundant in FL Paso as they
are this year and many housewives
have been busy canning and preserv-
ing fruit to keep it from spelling on
the trees.
Rains, which appear to have come
at just the right time, and sunshine in
the proportion which fruits require
have contributed to make young trees
produce the largest and most luscious
peaches and grapes and the frosts Of
last winter appear to have had no bad
effect in this section
Valley orchardists also report con-
ditions favorable for a large crop Of
believed the fruit crop now has passed
the point where there is any danger
Of damage resulting from insects or
weather conditions
Many fruit trees in the Alta Vista
district are producing this year for the
first time and the trees are bearing
exceptionally large peaches and plums
City cantalOupe growers also have
found this a good season for melons.
In many back yards are melon vines
bearing as large and as luscious canta-
lOupes as are found on valley ranches.
Mr.. and Mrs Thomas Jones, of 1892
Rivera street, East FL PasO. are
among the fortunate e. PasOans who
have had unusual success with their
fruit. They obtained a large uuan-
tity Of apples this year from the trees

sILVS URGED As
REMEDY FOR Rain
DAMAGE TO CROPS
Tom Powers Is Trying the
Experiment on His
Valley Ranch.

Silos will save the salley hay crop
from another rainy season, valley lanu
owners declare. The construction OF
silos throughout the lower and upper
valleys is urged upon the land owners
as a way of salvaging the alfalfa crops
if another rainy summer comes 10 the
valley Tom Powers is now the only
valley rancher who has silo on his
ranch and his experiment with TINS
method Of handling forage crops IS
heinz watched with keen interest by
the other hay growers OF the valley.
Save Wet Hay.
Not only will the silOs save the wet
hay crop from becoming tOJal loss,
but they will yield an income OF more
than $50 an acre from milo maize,
kafffr corn and other forage crops A
siIo that will hold 100 tons Of ensilage
will cost $500. the ranchers estimate.
If the wet alfalfa, which is ruined for
sale on the markets, is placed IN these
TO remain there, il can be fed to cattle
or hogs at a good profit and the en-
tire crop utilized. Unless this is done
the crop will be lost on the ground, as
heavy rains ruin alfalfa for sale IN
the open market and she only salvage
nat cen be made Of it is 10 dry it in
the sunand feed IL at loss
Rotating OF Crops.
BY rotating ensilage crops with
wheat, oats and otehr grains II IS pos
sfble to get two crops off the land
each YEAR This will increase the pro-
ductfye mower Of the land and will net
a rteurn equal TO that obtained from
alfalfa and will be less liable TO be
ruined by the summer rains. Feeding
of valley crops is urged by the valley
ranchers who have tried various crops
A number OF lower valley ranchmen
are planning to try feeding cattle and
hogs next year instead OF selling their
alfalfa on the local market
