lowing letter to The County Commits
laioners Of Torrance county
Room 1906, 81 Cedar ST.,
New York, January IA. 1916.
County Commissioners, Torrance GO,

Gentlemen
i learned with anxiety that there Is
sons Thought On your part Of discOnt
Itinuing the work os the County Agent
In Torrance County. May | be per
mitted to ten you what think about
lif3
A very large portion of Torrance
county Is best adapted to grazing and
practically all Of that land "a used free
Of charge BY tha oWner Of our fiocks
and herds. They are selling theil
products at exceedingly high prices
and enjoy the benefit Of there ranches
with Tia lowest possible contribution
On their part 10 the general develop
ment Of the community.
Possibly 100000 acres Of your land
may be used III one way or another
for forming purposes. Used az graz
ing land IL will not produce to exceed
zoe per acre a year; used as agricul1
tural land, Il should produce at least
$I2 Per acre per year, gross income.
year In and year out, and as people
become better acquainted with thu
climate, SOIL and crops that are adapt
Pea to our country, this income win
become more certain and probably be
Increased. II irrigation becomes i'm.
possible for a whole or any consider
able portion Of It. the income will be
multiplied many times.
Farming in New Mexico Is not like
farming III Illinois, and it Is very TX.
pensive to have thu experiments tried
year in and year out by a number Of
people working as individuals. 1T Is
Ia good deal better to have all Of the
people profit from the experience of a
few, which ID made possible through
your County Agent.
If l am right as TO the earning pow
cir OF the land used for grazing pur.
poses and when put in cultivation,
you can assume that 100000 acres as
grazing land might produce $20,0 600
worth 0f livestock, and that the same
land iii cultivation would produce a
million dollars worth Of farm prod
ncts.
Every man who lives in Torrance
county, whether lie Is a wage Garner,
a merchant, or whatever his business
may be, will IN one way or another be
enriched by the tremendous increase
