Over in the eastern part of the
state, in Roosevelt county, is the thirty
ing little city of PortaIes. surrounded
by as rich an agricultural country as
the is to be found anywhere. The crea-
tor was kind to that particular section
of the state when he fashioned it, as
part of his work in that vicinity con-

generation knows as Black Water
draw, valley several miles wide and
perhaps $50 miles long. Portales is To-
Gated in this valley, or rather toward
the south end of it.
In the Black Water draw one can
drill down fifteen or twenty feet and
strike a never ending supply of water.
A hundred feet on either side of the
draw water is not found at a depth
less than 200 feet. The result is that
the residents of the valley have sunk
wells, installed gasoline pumps and
have found an abundance of water for
irrigating thousands of acres of land.
Several years ago the farmers be-
gan raising sweet potatoes on a small
scale. They found that the crop paid
Others began raising sweet potatoes
until that crop became one of the lead
ing industries in the valley. However,
the success of the venture was not as
great as it should have been. In the
first place, sweet potatoes must be
cured for a certain length of time in
order to eliminate all surplus moisture,
before they are marketed. Possibili-
ties for doing this were lacking, con-
sequently large quantities of potatoes
were shipped to market without being
cured. Many of them decayed and
proved to be unsatisfactory in other
ways The reputation of the Portales-
grown sweet potatoes was not an en-
viable one. Furthermore, owing to
lack of cooperation and system, the
crop was not always marketed to the
best advantage.
Last spring a sweet potatoes grow
ers association was formed. The con-
Germ was incorporated under the laws
of New Mexico. Practically every
sweet potato grower became a mem

commodating 10000 bushels are being

MIKE BACA WILL FIGHT
PASS CITY BATTLER IN
CLOVIS RING TONIGHT

Mike Baca. the pride of Santa Fe
and claimant of the lightweight cham
pionship Of New Mexico, was here last
night on his way to Clovis, where he
meets tonight Calman Carlson Of Ell
Paso IN a twelve-round bout
Baca also has a fight scheduled for
the middle of September in Santa Fe
with Nick Gundy Of FL Paso. Joe
Carratto, the Gallup wonder, Will also
take a trip to Santa Fe soon to fight
/ AGA. l3aca wi / fight Al .McManus
of Bisbee fifteen rounds late this
month. Carlson. Gundy. Carrato and
McManus are all of the best material
in the southwest but Baca is confident
that he can stop them all.
1t is said on good authority that
Baca is in the best of condition and
has developed a tremendous wallop
which is a real sleep producer. lie
has been training constantly and I'M
proves every day. but he is little
handicapped for the lack of sparring
partners as he has inflicted terrible
punishment to his human punching
bags.
Baca asked The Journal to an
nounce that he challenges the winner
of the Makey-Cordova fight tonight.
Baca says he will meet the winner at
any time and in any place. He says
he has always been anxious for a
crack at Benny Cordova but If Makey
beats Cordova he will be pleased to
fight Makey. Either one, he says,
but he wants chance to fight the
winner.

The Denver boy appears H have
the edge on dope, but that is scanty,
since there is only one glove-slnger
whom both have met-Wop Flyn
who is credited with a technical
knockout at Benny's expense and who
was on the receiving end of a X. ..
operated by Carl. Benny, however,
has a perfectly good alibi for his
showing against Wop, averring that
he was weak on account of having
made too low weight for him.
on the other hand Benny has never
been stretched on the canvas for the
full count, and his adherents main
tain that Makey won't be the one to
set the precedent. They point with
pride to Bennys walloping ability and
declare that while he is on his feet

bacon with either mitt.
The card will include three bouts

Young Cordova, a young brother of
Benny and Tommy Sanchez will stage
the curtain-raiser. The semi-windup
will bring Sailor" Gonzales and In

bout has stirred up n lot of interest
among the habitual ring-siders and
it has been alleged--on information
and belief--that tidy sum has been
posted in bets on the Sailor and the

HAPPYS SUFFER THEIR
FIRST REVERSE WHEN
GUEVARA LOSES BALL

The Happys were handed their first
defeat yesterday afternoon on the Uni
versity field. The Old Town Stars, who
had lost a previous battle to the Hap
pys, were the donors. The game went
ten innings.
The Stars jumped into the lead in
the first inning when "Speedio" Cue
vara clouted the ball into the weeds
back of first base. When the ball was
recovered "Speedio" was painting on
the bench. There were two men on
the bases when he got the hit. The
Stars got another run in the fourth.
The Happys began their counting
in the fifth, getting a lone run across
the plate. In the last half of the ninth
they pushed three runs home, aided
by errors, and tied the score. Speed
10" broke up the game in the tenth
when he raped the ball to the weed
patch again for three bases, scoring
two men on the sacks.
Gillian of the Stars pitched a good
game, striking out nine batsmen and
allowing only four hits. O'Connell of
the Happys whitfield four and allowed
seven bingles.

loads, which will net the growers
about 100000. The crop will be thor
oughly cured in the sheds before an
attempt is made to market any of it.
This will insure the potatoes reaching
the consumers in good condition. BY
selling the crop through the associa-
ton, better prices are assured than
have prevailed in tho past.
The country contiguous to Portales
seems to be peculiarly adapted to
raising sweet potatoes, and as there
are thousand of acres not yet devoted
to agriculture with an abundant sup
ply of water lying few feet beneath
the surface, it is predicted that par
ticular locality will, within the next
few years, develop into one Of the
largest sweet potato producing sec
