APPLES ARE VERY CHEAP
IN THE ROSWELL DISTRICT

Apples, all you want of them al
IS cents a bushel and so many of
them that all the pickers available
for miles cannot gather them all, SO
that they have to be raked up from
the ground and fed to livestock, is
what the Roswell, N. M, neighbor-
hood has to show the world; while
city folks are paying 81 and up for
single boxes of the fruit.
w. d. Mayfield, who owns an or
orchard at Roswell, has just return
ed from a three weeks visit there
and brings back this news.
5000 Acres OF Apples
There are about 5000 acres in ap-
p'cs about Roswell, said Mr.. May
field Tuesday, and every tree is la
den with ripened and ripening fruit
until the branches tip the ground.
There are not enough pickers to
pluck them al, and not enough cars
to handle what are gathered. Tie
result is that the ground is over
Cd at some places a foot deep, with
wind shakes. Anybody who wants
them may gather all they want at
IS cents the bushel. What are not
gathered go to livestock. Due to the
scarcity of cars most of the orchard
owners are storing their fruit, but the
loss Of even these from windshakes
IS tremendous. said Mr.. Mayfie1d.--

mercantile stores generally, which is
distinctly - New Mr<ico. \ verse
called " New Mexico Christmas

wreaths, and New Mcxico'S pines and
stars to natures "Christmas trees
forms the basis OF the Christmas
greeting.
An artistic and appropriate draw
ing accompanies the stanzas, which
are in hand lettercd effect. The
verse was composed by Elwood NJ
Albright, a New Mexico boy, who
also made the drawings. The cards
are printed in five colors and are
ready for mailing as post cards.
To complete the claim of these uni

ly New Mexican it may be added that
they are printed at the State Record

LARGE TRACT OF FARM
LAND TO BE RECLAIMED
IN NEBRASKA AND WYOMING

The u. S. Reclamation service is
asking for proposals for the con-
struction of l5.7 miles of main lateral
on the North Platte irrigation pro-
ject, Nebraska Wyoming, involving
about 10000 cubic yards of excava
ton. The work is in the vicinity
of Torrington, Wyoming.
Bids will be received at the office
of the u. S. Reclamation service.
Torrington, Wyo., on December 10,
1917.
This work is on one of the twin
canals designed to serve water to
100000 acres of land. Its completion
will make available considerable pub
lie which will be opened to entry
probably in the fail of 1918. This
will provide an opportunity for many
to obtain a home on the land. The

L'ENVOI

When earth's last picture is paint
ed-and the tubes are twisted and
dried.
When the oldest colors are faded
and the youngest critic has died
We shall rest-and faith we
Shall need title down for an aeon
or two.
Till the Master Of all good work
men shall put us to work anew.
And those that are good shall be
happy: they shall sit in a golden
chair.
They shall splash at a ten-league
canvas, with brushes of comets hair ;
They shall find real saints to draw
from Magdalcne, Peter and Paul.
They shall work for an age at a
sitting and never get tired at all.
And only the Master shall praise
us. and only the Master shall blame;
And no one shall work for money
and no one shall work for fame.
But each for the JOY of his work;
and each in his separate star,
Shall draw the Thing as he sees 1t
for the God of Things as they Are.

BERMUDA ONION FARMERS
WILL INCREASE ACREAGE
ON RIO GRANDE BORDER

Bermuda onion farmers OF South
Texas are preparing TO plant the
largest crop that has ever been
grown in this state. The young
plants are already up in the seed
beds and are doing nicely, They will
be t~ransplanted into the fields next
month. 1t is estimated that there
vii, be more than 1000 acres de
voted to Bermuda onions in the Rio
Grandc border region this season.
This will be an increase of about
1000 acres over last seasons crop.
OF the total area in onions, there
will be about 1000 acres in the vicin-
ity of Laredo. The remaining acre
age will be chiefly in the Cotula
and Brownsville sections.
Worth $4,000 900
1t is expected that the coming c
sons crop will sell for even higher
prices than those which prevailed
during the past season. Basing the
possible revenue on present prices.
the crop should bring to the grow
ers approximately $1,000. 600. In sew
eral instances large fortunes were
made by growers from their last
springs crop of Bermuda onions. Net
clean-ups ranging from $4,000 to $50
600 each were made by growers
off of comparatively small acreage.
The average Bermuda onion farm
ranges in size from 10 to 20 acres,
and in some cases there was as much
as so to 100 acres devoted to the
crop by one grower. When the fact
49,
usual last year for a farmer to OBJ
tain net proceeds of $500 to 5000 an
acre from his onion crop, the profit

An Old Mans S Stomach

AS we grow older and less active
less and less food is required to
meet the demands of Our bodies.
If TOD much is habitually taken the
stomach will rebel. When a man
reaches the advanced age of IS or
90, you will find that he is light
eater. Be as careful as you will,
however, you will occasionally eat
more than you should and will feel
the need of Chamberlain S Tablets
to correct the disorder These ta-
blets do not contain pepsin, but
strengthen the stomach and ena-
bic it to perform it's functions
naturally. They also cause a gen
tie movement of the bowels.

The residents of Miramonte ap-

stalled a crossing half a mile west

went under the track. This new
road gives travellers to and from
Miramonte a direct road along the
section line, which is much better

the culvert.
