ARTESIAN WATER
IN OTERO COUNTY
TO DO WONDERS
WELL KNOWN GEOLOGICAL
EXPERT DECLARES WELL
IN ALAMOGORDO VALLEY
HAS COMMERCIAL VALUE
NOT LESS THAN 100000

That the arteSian flow 10 miles
southwest of Alamogordo is the big
gest thing that ever happened i'll
the valley commercially
That the volume OF the flow ex-
ceeds that of any artesian well in
the Pccos valley;
That the water is suitable for ir
rigation;
That the artesan flow struck is
running over 500 gallons per minute,
and has an intrinsic value of 500,
600;
That the flow is true artesan with
its source far up in the mountains
and from the rocky bed of the val
ley;
That the flow is contra to the
prediction Of one OF the best under
ground water experts OF the geolo-
gical survey;
That it is difficult to tell the area
of the artesian basin;
That the pressure at the well is
sufficient to pipe the water almost
to Alamog gordo:
The above were statements made
by Prof. Fayettc Jones last week to
a representative of the News. Some
OF the statements were qualified to
a certain extent, but as they are
they represent his general opinion Of
the artesian water struck southwest
OF Alamogordo several weeks ago.
Geologist OF High Rank
Prof Jones is one OF the best
known geologists OF the southwest
and was in charge OF the New Mex
leo School of Mines for number of
years. He was consulting engine -r
for the Twin Buttes company, and
before drilling was commenced made
study of that portion of the val
ley that the company had holdings
in. Prof. Jones stated that in gen
eral way matters had 'panned" out
about as he had predicted. He states
that the big flow OF water which
seems to be gradually increasing has
no special bearing on going on for
oil. Prof Jones stated that without
doubt some oil was in evidence out
there. 1t is entierly feasible that
heavier flows may be obtained from
basins further down
Prof. Jones did not encourage or
discourage the theory of wide ar
tesian belt over the valley. He lac
onically remarked, relative to a
statement of improbability of arte-
sian water in the valley by an auth
ority of nation wide reputation, that
it merely went to show how easily
a scientific man could be mistaken.

RIO CRANDE VALLEY IS
INCREASING ACREAGE IN
SEVERAL WINTER GRAINS

That there is considerable in
crease in the acreage planted to
winter grains in the Rio Grande val
ley, both north and south of FL
Paso, thus aiding in the campaign
for greater food supplies, was the
statement made by Orc McDermith.
of the Elephant Butte reclamation
project, Tuesday morning. Water
from the big dam was released No
vember IS, and reached the city
Monday, four days later.
5000 Acres Winter Grain
There are approximately 5000
acres planted to winter grains, bar
ley, wheat, oats and rye, below FL
Paso. which is slight increase. The
acreage in rye has been increased
considerably. The increase is due
in one way from the fact that al
falfa fields have been damaged by
seepage have been plowed up and
grain planted
"In the valley above FL Paso. in
the vicinity OF Las Cruces and Me
silla Park, there is large increase
in winter gr2ine, the increase III
wheat alone being 1000 acres"
Farmers Form Bureau
The heavy increase about Las
Cruces, it is stated, is due in a con-
siderable part TO the efforts of farm
agent II. II. Brooks and the organ
iz7tion OF farm bureau movement
among the farmers Of the valley. A
newspaper is published by them, full
OF aid for the farmers, and meet
ings are arranged for the discussion
of agricultural subjects.
Water was turned on at the dam
two weeks earlier the present year,
as last year there was no winter ir-
rigation until Deccmbcr.-El pajo

WAR-SAVINGS
STAMPS READY
DECEMBER 3RD
DEPARTMENT
EXPLAINS DETAILS OF
PLANS; THRIFT STAMPS
BEARING NO INTEREST
WILL BE EXCHANGEABLE

The war-savings plan provided for
in the last bond act, of September "a,
1917, has been formulated and an
nounccd by the Treasury Department
and goes into operation on Monday,
December ).
The plan puts it easily in reach OF
every American citizen to save money
and at the same time aid the Gov
ernment by supplying it with the
sincWs of war.
In Two Denominations
Stamps, which are the Govern
ments certificates OF indebtedness.
are to be sold in two denominations
thrift stamps, which cost Is cents
each, and war-savings stamps, which
cost from $4.l2 to $423 each accord
ing to the month in which they are
purchased
With the first thrift stamp the
purchaser is given thrift card with
spaces for 10 stamps. When 70
thrift stamps have been purcha sed
and affixed the thrift card can be
exchanged for war-savings stamp
by paying the difference between the
$4 the thrift stamps represent and
the current value of a warsavings
stamp, which in December, 1917, and
January, 1918, will be SAP, and
thereafter cent for each succeed
ing month during the year 1918.
Exchange Thrift For Savings
With the first warsavings stamps
obtained by purchase or exchange
the owner is given a war-savings
certificate containing spaces for 70
war savings stamps. Ii the 20 spaces
are filled during December, 1917, or
January, 1918, the cost to the pur-
chaser will be $412 for each stamp.
or $S240 for the full certificate. and
on the lst day of January, 1923, the
Government will redeem the certifi-
cate at 500, giving the holder net
profit of $1760 for the use of his
money.
Maturing January, 1923
Although these investments do not
mature until January |, 1923, pro-
vision is made whereby upon 10 days
written notice after January |, 1918,
such certificates will be redeemed by
postmasters at their cost to the pur-
chasers plus cent month on each
war-savlngs stamp on the certlflcatc.
The thrift stamps do not bear in
terest, but the war-savings stamps
bear per cent, compounded quart
erly. sThe certificates will be dated
January 2, 1918, and mature January
/, 1928.
May Invest Is Cents
Under the plan an amount as shall
as Is cents can be invested in a
security, and as soon as
81 has been thus invested an inter
certificate of the United
States Government can be secured.
The stamps and certificates can be
obtained from post offices. banks, or
trust companies, at most railroad sta
tions. stores. factories, and many 9TH
er public places.

NEW MEXICO
PRODUCING ITS
OWN FOOD NOW
FIGURES BASED ON FEDER-
AL REPORTS PROVE THIS
STATEMENTS Is TRUE;
CROP INCREASES THIS
YEAR ARE VERY LARGE

Dcming, N. NJ, Nov. 2l-R. S.
Trumbull, of Ell Paso, agricultural
agent of the FL Paso & Southwest
ern railway system, was here look
ing into the local marketing condi-
tions and the possibilities for selling
here farm products which, he said,
are plentiful in other parts of New
Mexico. AS an example, he said the
Coudcrolt section has produced
about $50 cars of potatoes to sell
When asked about farming condi-
tions in New Mexico, Mr.. Trumbull
said:
State Does Produce
"You hear it talked that this state
does not produce the food products it
consumes but | can show very diff
ferently by figures based on crop re-
ports of the United States depart
ment of agriculture and crop surveys
which | have made myself. | can
say, making due allowance for the
beef and mutton shipped out, that the
state produces in food products near
ly three times what it consumes"
Mr.. Trumbull said that he had not
quite completed his report for publ
cation, but based on last years crop
report and taking the states popula-
ton at 100000 in round numbers he
gave the following figures on food
products per capita:
Per Capita Consumption
Beef, 46l pounds the average con-
sumption is ll9 pounds; mutton, 247
pounds dressed; pork and poultry,
IS pounds each eggs, IS dozen per
capita; winter wheat l55 pounds;
spring wheat, 100 pounds; oats, l4S
pounds; corn, 367 pounds; barley, 38
pounds; Irish potatoes, 122 pounds
beans, Sc pounds; apples average
for ten years. &c pounds; vegetables
mot including Irish and sweet po-
tatoes), at least 100 pounds. per
capita; fruits (other than apples),
about IS pounds. Under fruits are
not included wild fruits and nuts,
considerable quantities of which are
consumed by the native Indian and
Mexican population. OF commercial
honey about two pounds per capita
appears in the market.
Increase Is Large
Last year the state produced 396.-
600 bushels of kaffir which is used
almost entierly for stock feed, but
people are beginning to use it, Mr..
Trumbull said.
Mr.. Trumbull has some figures
compiled which show this years crop
increase over that of last year. They
are as follow:
Kaffir, "a percent; winter wheat,
14.2 percent; spring wheat. 2 percent
oats, 16 percent; corn, % percent;
barley, ~ percent; Irish potatoes,
62 percent; beans, W percent; ap-
plies, lis percent-El Paso Herald.

CARS ARE NOT AVAILABLE
CROPS ROT IN FIELDS

Madison, Wis, Nov. 20.-Thousands
of tons of cabbage are rotting in
northern Wisconsin fields and crops
of apples, beets and rutabagas are
suffering because of the car short
age, according to railroad commits
sioner John Allen, who has just re-
turned from Washington, where he
sought fAeral action to relieve the
situation.
The shortage of rolling stock, it is
said, is due partly to the demands
for cars to remove cattle from the
drouth stricken sections of the south

THE VICKsBURG REPORT.

Vicksburg, Miss.-Local authori-
ties declared tonight that although
there was no record of threatened
violence against Joseph B. Sanders,
of St. Louis, a negro, commissioned
as second lieutenant in the national
army, events similar to those in the
charges made by Lieut.. Sanders took
place in the case of George Lee, a
negro lieutenant in the national
army, who said he was from Mem
phis.
According to the authorities, Lieut..
Lee while in Vicksburg recently re-
primanded several white privates
charging them with having failed to
salute him. The soldiers, it was stat
ed, followed the lieutenant to thea
ter and warned him that should he
reappear on the street wearing his
uniform it would be stripped from
him.
No attempt was made by the SOL
diers to enter the theater, and pro-
lection from threatened violence was
afforded Lieut.. Lee from civilians and
city police officers. Acting upon the
advice of local citizens Lieut.. Lee
during the remainder of his brief
stay here wore civilian clothes.

MANY WILL SHARE
in GREEN'S FORTUNE
ANCIENT TRUST FUND OF MIL
LION AND A HALF DOLLARS
TO BE DIVIDED AT LAST.

For fifty years the numerous heirs
of trust fund of $1,500,00O held
by the late Hetty Green during her
lifetime have been waiting to get
their shares. Long before the death
of the worlds richest woman" the
438 heirs had printed voluminous
genealogical tables containing their
names, addresses and the fractional
portions expected to accrue to each.
Two Chicagoans Among Heirs.
Two Chicagoans are among the
heirs to the estate left in trust by
Sylvia Ann Rowland of New Bed
ford, Mass, to her nieces, Mrs.
Green, at whose death the property
was to be divided among the lineal
descendants of Gideon Rowland, of
Dartmouth, Mass.
The local heirs, with their frac-
tional inheritances as calculated,
are:
John D. Sherman, 1870, approx
mately $685..
Preston w. Grinnell, 1-7O2O, APP
proXimately 1918.
New Claimants by Scores.
Now that the trust fund is to DE
divided the heirs are surprised to find
their number augmented by scores of
claimants from Europe, Canada and
this country, of whom they never
had heard.
Their interests are being protected
by the trustees, of whom Col Ed
ward H. Green, son of the late Mrs.
Green, and himself one of the heirs,
is one. The estate is now in court at
Meredith, N. H., for settlement.
Grinnell, a salesman, was found in
second-foor ballroom. He express
ed hope that the estate will be speed
lily settled and that his wife gets a
divorce.
