production will be seen at the Wash

II. The comedy is founded on the
Harry Leon Wilson stories which were
published In the Saturday Evening
Post as serial and had a tremendous
vogue. The dramatist, Lee Wilson
Dodd, has carefully preserved in the
play all the characters made familiar
to the readers of the serial. Was
Bunker Bean, Napoleon or Ram-Tah?
This question seriously troubled a
young chap engaged as stenograph-
err by capitalist. He pondered over
the question and then decided that he
was a descendant of the great Napol-
con. After he had succeeded in max
ing his way along in the world, he
wanted to have even more illustrious
blood in his veins, so decided he was
Ram-Tah. reincarnated Bunker even
purchased an Egyptian mummy to
have his likeness constantly about
him. Taylor Holmes, the young star,
is an actor well qualified to fill the
exacting role of Bunker. The cast
supporting his includes Charles Able,
Maud Hanaford, Pell Trenton, Stanley
Wood, Robert Toms, Annette Westby,
Clara Louise Moores, Grace Peters,
George c. Lyman, Belford Forrest, Lii

been farmed and it was the general
belief that there was not sufficient
ainfall to produce crops successful
.ly. Reference to the rainfall chart,
found in the back of the New Mex
leo Red Book, however, shows that
a large portion of Colfax county, and
practically all of eastern Mora coun-
ty is within the area having a rain
fall of from IS to 20 inches annual
|ly. This chart is compiled from all
available records of the United
States weather bureau, covering
|thirty-seven years of observation. 1t
is to be regarded as conservative
land accurate. 1t may be said with
safety that the average p~recipita-
tion in the eastern parts OF these
two counties, is nearer twenty than
Fifteen inches annually.
1t has been demonstrated over a
number of years that there is suffi-
|cient moisture to produce good
crops of wheat, corn, srghums, kat
fir, Milo, broom corn and beans, in
these districts, when careful cultiva-
ton is had along approved methods
for conserving soil moisture The
rains come in the growing seasons
when most needed. Conditions are
ideal for fall tillage. The spring
season is ordinarily early, although
the elevation, about 5000 feet, serves
to prevent premature budding and
growth and usually averts danger
from frosts which come as late as
April Is.
The eastern Colfax and Mora
county lands are rolling uplands,
with the slopes generally to south
and east. Occasional outcroppings
occur on the higher lands, but as a
rule the soil is rich and deep, rang
ing from a light sandy loan to a
medium heavy clay-loam. These
soils appear to carry all of the con-
tent necessary to heavy production
of the crops best adapted to the
region.

WHEAT FARMING IN CURRY COUNTY
NOW A PROVEN SUCCESS

~ urry and Roosevelt counties, on
~ the EAST central border of New
lMexico. are shown together in the
accompanying map. Up to 1907 this
region was wholly devoted to cat
tie growing and was regarded as .
strictly grazing region. Referenc.
to the rainfall chart IN the back of
the New Mexico Red Book, how
lever, shows that the average an
tnuai precipitation in the region is
bL;v cen Il TO 20 inches and hat n
of the two counties il is
above twenty inches. The average
pf the region, it may be stated with
conservatism, is about u IL an
hually, or ample to produce good
Erops with careful following Of ap-
proved dry-farming methods. This
Fact was discovered in 1907 by a
band of pioneer bomesteaders who
Settled on the plains along the
Texas border. The first season sue
Eesses of these pioneers attracted

kYas a rush of homesteaders which
continued until 1911 and which alb

in this region has suffered three Sc
fious set basks by reasons of un-
usual drouth, but it has invariably
forward again with renewed
Energy and added production until
how farming is on an established
basis Of prosperity and reasonable
certainty of good returns, if careful
cultivation is given.
Four years ago about 5000 BUSH
kls of wheat were produced in Curry
county, the land planted averaging
10 bushels to the acre in
bpite Of an adverse season. The fol-
lowing year the production increa-
BED to an average Of IL IL bushels
Ind the total was 10000 bushels.
New Mexico state record. (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1914-19??, 1917-05-18

Two years ago this wheat produc-
ton reached $4,000 bushels, al
though the season was not up to
normal in rainfall. Last year, with
a normal rainfall and somewhat IL
mited acreage sown. the total pro-
duction was 10000 bushels
Recent inspection of the wheat
areas Of Curry county show that
this seasons crop is assured and it
is now estimated, conservatively at
100000 bushels When it is recalled
that this is a region which ten years
ago was looked on as fit only for
grazing, the present anticipated pro-
duction is an achievement which es-
tablishes this as n of the proven
farming areas of New Mexico
This section of New Mexico is a
flat, prairie region, very similar to
the best portions of the Texas pan
handle The soil is rich and deep
and easily worked The average
depth to water over the county as
a whole, is 200 feet and strong flows
ample for stock and domestic use are
at that depth This is a palatable
water, not heavily charged with
mineral content, healthy and chem
ically pure In some sections strong
flows are found at even shallower
depths and in restricted districts
the flow is ample to permit pump
ing for irrigation
The lands to be sold in Curry
county on June S are chiefly in large
tracts. as will be seen from the sales
