Carrying only one gallon OF water,

an alleged lead mine at the head OF

night, and the search party left early
the next morning. On the lowest
ledge OF the red sandstone about 1900
feet below the rim, McGraw's trail
was picked up. Here the party was
compelled to leave the saddle ami
mails, but managed to work n mule
about two miles along the ledge. AT
4 D. m. McGraw was found where
Pipe creek heads against the main
wall. In the intense heat he mad been
without water for 30 hours, and was
unable to move; but he was finally
revived and able to return.

This was his first trip to that partic.

and they are kept busy supplying the
wants of the settlers in the country
contiguous thereto.
Since the passage Of the 640-acre
homestead law" the senator contin-
ued, "about 800 families have moved
into the Cuba neighborhood from
Texas. These men did not come in on
Pullman cushions. They are sturdy
sons of the Lone Star State, used to
hard work. They did not come here
to sell blue sky to anybody or work
a flim-flam game Of any kind. They
brought their furniture, turkeys,
geese, chickens, horses and blooded
c-ows-Herefords and other good
grades of dairy stock-with them.
They will be a valuable asset to the
Cuba neighborhood, and, of course,
to the state of New Mexico. They are
the kind Of settlers we need. The
only thing that will build up any COM
munity is live, energetic people.
These settlers belong to that class.
Another thing" the senator con.
tinued with a chuckle, these 800
families mean 300 more Democratic
votes at the next election"
Cattle and sheep also thrive In the
Cuba country. Mr.. Barth told Of see
ing a check for $46,432 which n
large sheep raiser had received for
his 1917 wool clip.
Coal Is Easily Obtained
Coal is easily obtained. Most oil

BIG BEAN ACREAGE

State College, N. M, July 23.-Tne
harvesting and ~threShing OF the wheat
crop 10 IN full swing In Socorro conn'
ty, according TO reports received from
County Agent H. P. Powers. The
yield Is unusually good, with an aver
age OF about BIB bushels per acre,
estimated. All farmers propose to
save their own seed for spring plant
ing. There Is very little winter
wheat planted in this section, owing
to the shortage Of water in the winter.
Beans are being planted on the
lands from which the wheat is har-
vested. The bean acreage has in.
creased this year over last about 120
per cent. The bean beetle hit the
bean growers hard early in the sea-
son, but the pest Is now being con-
trolled by the assistance OF arsenate
of lead. Until this year the farmers
in Socorro county paid nc attention
to spraying for the BEETLE. When the
beetle appeared the farmer threw up
his hands and called his planting
practically a total loss with no insur-
ance. Now he is using modern meth
DDS to combat the beetle, with the re.
suit that very little damage is ex-
pected.
The farmers are helping each other
out in true n~eighborly spirit. In bean
planting, which has been going on
since July 5, a farmer has eight or ten
acres to plant. His neighbors all
come over With their teams and plows
and finish up the job in n day.
From there they go to the next field
and so on until all have finished. In
this way very little side labor is
necessary. The same rule Is being
followed in haying and threshing, 'as
a result of which the farmers are
greatly encouraged. This method Is
developing q splendid spirit among
the farmers. They are getting better
acquainted with each other, that they
have problems in common, and can
cooperate. in solving them.
County Agent Powers is planning a
number of demonstrations later In the
season. He will show the farmers
how to treat the different kinds OF
seed against diseases, with especial
attention to wheat, oats and potatoes.
Meetings are also to be held for the
purpose of urging the farmers to buy
better grades of stock.

ice, the lumber manufacturers, and
1.-The lumberjacks to make this regi-
ment c%reditable to the great lumber
Industry of the country. Lumber

Estancia valley of New Mexico and
investigate its possibilities.
There is practically no land that
has not been filed On, but land can
still frequently be bought for from
$500 to $1,000 per acre, which
is capable OF producing several times
this amount in one years crop under
average conditions.

Government Experiment
The Government is trying all kinds
of experiments. About one-fifth of the
Zone has been cleared of the jungle
and planted with grasses and several
thousand head of cattle brought from
Colombia. They are doing splendidly.
A chicken farm has been started, with
chickens from Costa Rica. Eleven

Rhode Island Reds. Cinnamon are
brought here to start gardens and
they look fine, much like California.
The quartermaster told me last week,
that In five years we would not have
a jungle on the Zone.
Deer are very plentiful down here.
The officers go hunting every Sunday
and never fail to bring in a deer.
There is quite a bunch on Ancon Hill,
surrounded by Ancon and Balboa.
They come out in the clearing very
often and yesterday Miguel saw two
near our house; the authorities pro
tect them. The officers tell me they
kill quite a number of wild hogs and
some tapir, the latter weighing as
much as 800 to 400 pounds.

The zon police force is a fine BODY

They do all the criminal department
work for all the courts on the zone.
We have no grand jury here. Com

courts; il found guilty, the papers are
all certified to the district court at
Balboa or Cristobal and are mostly
tried by the judge of the district court
as in almost every cas- the trial by
