PROFIT LIMIT
OF PUMPING

The New Mexico experiment
station claims that it has been
determined that the cost of
pumping for alfalfa where the
fuel cost is 16 cents per gallon
and the lift over ninetyfive
feet is Improbable, as
suming that six to seven and a
half tons per acre can be raised;
if gasoline costs % cents then 70
feet is the limit of profitable pro-
duction. Where the cheaper
fuel oils are used and at a cost
not exceeding A IL cents per gal
lon water may be lifted 110 feet
and the crop produced at profit.
For oats with gasoline at 16 cents
As feet is the limit of profitable
cropping, wheat 81 feet and corn
73 feet. For orchard irrigation
the depth of profitable pumping
is much greater. For truck crops
the limit is about 40 feet.

ROAD OVERSEER
is BUSY MAN

C. B. Hambrick, the county
road overseer, has been here for
about week past, collecting
road tax and working the roads.
He says that he has had no
trouble in this district in getting
money or work; that all seem
willing and ready to contribute
their legal dues to the cause of
good roads. In the Mountainair
vicinity he had a good deal of
trouble of convincing some that
he really meant business. There
are men in that vicinity, it is
said, who have never either paid
road tax or worked the roads.
This time all came across but one,
and that one will be given an
opportunity to explain matters in
the district court Mr. Hambrick
is working on the PIP. Highway
from this point east, will work
the road between this place and
Moriarty, and between here and
Tajique. 1t seems that Mr..
Hambrick is the right man in the
right place.

old EXPRESS RATE
RESTORED

Santa Fe, May 19. The Wells
Fargo Express company recently
raised its express rates on milk
from the Estancia valley to East
Las Vegas and formal complaint
was filed today with the state
corporation commission. 1t is
shown in the complaint that the
rate from Estancia to Las Vegas
is now 81 20 for ten gallons, while
from Willard, a greater distance,
it is 81 cents or less than one-half.
The milk from Willard is brought
on the same train and in the same
car each day. The same rank
discrimination is also shown
against other places in the Es-
tancia valley.
This is more remarkable as up
to three months ago, the express
rate was only so cents per ten
gallons. However, under the
recent agreement with the ex-
press companies after confer
ences with the corporation COM
mission, the old rate will be re.
stored but now Las Vegas asks
for a refund of the excess charg-
es during the past three months.

COUNTY CLERK MATTER
UNSETTLED

At this writing the county
clerk matter is still up in the
air" so to speak. Raymundo
Romero, appointed clerk by the
commissioners after revoking
their former action appointing
Julian Salas. made a bond atonce
and forwarded it to Judge Med
Ter for approval. Meanwhile
a bond made by Julian SaIas had
been submitted to Judge Medler,
who had rejected it on account
of defects in form, and returned
it for correction Now, it is seid,
he declines to approve either,
and the matter will be passed up
to the supreme court. Accord
ing to the generally accepted
version of the matter, Salas was
dilatory in making a bond. It is
said, however, that Mr. SaIa5 is
determined to make a fight for
the office. Meanwhile public
business in the clerks Office is
proceeding with r. L. HiCt in
charge as deputy for Acasio Gal
legos.

OIL WELLS
At STANLEY

Stanley, May 15.-Is the Es-
tancia Valley going to be trans
formed into an oil field?
There is no doubt that it has
oil. In fact it has already shown
that it has enough to make a
number Of oil-fans sit up and
take notice and it is believed
some bona fde oil wells will be
drilled in this vicinity as the re-
suit of a discovery in two sepa-
rate wells.
Several weeks ago the drillers
on the Walker claim east of
Stanley struck a light vein of oil
at a depth of 1926 feet. Last
week at a depth of 260 feet the
same substance was found on
one of the Montana claims. Ar
tesian well casing has been or
dered for the latter well.-Santa

wick" FOR TREES
IN DRY COUNTRY

Billie Johnson, a humble
horseshoer OF Hutchinson, Kan
sas, has made a discovery that
will be a blessing to every home
in western Kansas. 1t was John
son who figured out that the way
to make tree grow is to wick
it, just as you would wick an oil
lamp to get a light.
The horseshoer was talking to
a neighbor one day last sum-
mer about the unceasing under
flow Of water that lies only a few
feet below the surface all over
western Kansas.
If we could tap this water
and bring it up to the roots of
the trees" he said, we could
grow a forest on every western
Kansas farm. I've got plan
and will try it out"
johnson secured soma young
trees and planted them on vacant
lots in Hutchinson. After he
had dug a wide and deep hole for
each tree, he took a long augur
and bored a hole down to the un-
derfow. A rope was dropped
down each hole to the water and
the upper end was tied about the
roots of the tree. then the hole
was filled up and the dirt tamped
in around the roots Of the young
tree. The result was that every
one of thirty trees planted grew
and are now vigorous and
healthy.
twenty-five cents worth of
rope will insure the growth of a
tree anywhere in western Kan
sas, it is claimed, and farmers
and townspeople are buying
many coils of it, along with post
augurs, as recommended by the
Hutchinson blacksmith. It's the
same principle as a lampwick, "
Mr.. johnson says. The rope
will bring the water up around
the roots, just as a lampwick
brings the oil up to the burner. u

FINE RAINS AND
EVERYBODY HAPPY

In addition to the rain of the
preceding Wednesday night re-
ported in last weeks issue, good
rains fell almost all over the val
ley Friday and Saturday. The
precipitation at Estancia, includ
ing that of Wednesday night, to-
tailed LOG inches. AS far as we
have been able to learn, all parts
of the valley except q strip
across the southerly part from
west to east and about five to
ten miles south Of Estancia,
were we'll soaked, In many To-
calities the rainfall was undoubt
edly much heavier than that reg
istered in Estancia. These rains
have put heart into everybody,
and even the most pessimistic
now say that the chances are ex'
cellent for a good crop, while the
cheerful man feels that it is
practically assured. The ground
is wet clear down, and it will
take a long period of dry wealth
er to put the crops to the bad 1T
is fair and sufficiently conserv-
ative statement to say that at
this time prospects could not be
better.

YOU ARE ASKED TO
NAME THE DAY

Santa Fe, May Is. New Mex
leo Day at the Panama -Califor-
MIA Exposition at San Diego in
1915. is to be the greatest Pub
licity Day in the history of the
state,
1t is to see the greatest con-
course of New Mexicans that has
ever gathered in California.
twill witness the elimination of
the finest exhibit of the States
greatness and achievements ever
made.
What day would be most con-
venient to you? What day should
it be? Should it commemorate
some great event in New Mexico
history?
The New Mexico Exposition
Managers ask you to assist in Sc
lecting the date through a news
paper referendum.
Write your local paper the day
you prefer, or write the head
quarters of the Exposition Com
mission at Santa Fe. If you have
any suggestions to make to en-
hance the attractiveness of the
exhibit make them.
New Mexico is expending $780,
900 for a building and fixtures at
the Exposition. With it's coun-
ties and private donors, it is
spending at least 100000 more
to make the exhibit noteworthy.
The Exposition Managers. the
mems and women's auXiliaries
are giving their time and talents
freely to crown the effort with
success. And they will. Both
building and the exhibits will be
such that every loyal New Nexi-
can will be proud of them, such
as will eclipse the exhibits of
states far more populous and
wealthy.
Every county, at least every
county that contributes, will have
its own day at the Exposition
which will open every day except
Sunday during 1915. The big
cities will have their days too,
but first of all, help select a date
for New Mexico Day and do it
without delay.
