OPPORTUNITY FOR
COTTON GROWERS

Expert cotton growers who are
looking for q location in which to
plant cotton will find the Carlsbad
irrigation project, in New Mexico,
most attractive. Cotton has been
grown here successfully on small
areas since 1901. Notwithstanding
that the growers have been as a rule
men without experience in the IN
dustry, the average has been about
.2-3 OF bale per acre. The crop
has not been stabilized and the pros
duction has been limited and Of
several varieties. The region is
eminently fitted for growing long
staple cotton OF excellent quality,
and this grade Of cotton grown last
wear at Phoenix sold for an average
of 35 cents per pound by DIVERSE
flying crops on the project, alternat-
ing cotton with legumes like alfalfa,
peas, and beans, all Of which pro-
fta1le, the necessity Of fertiIizing
the land is usually eliminated so
that cotton can be produced with
less expense than in many southern
districts
The U. S. Reclamation Service at
Washington, d. c., has invested
several millions dollars in construc-
ting an elaborate irrigation system
for watering the 10000 acres in
cluded in this project, aad will
furnish information concerning the
soil, climate, CROPS and terms.
The New Mexico valley is beau

crop as we'll as many others. Its
people are largely drawn from the
