FACTS ABOUT MIMBRES
VALLEY OF NEW MEXICO

Not only is the soil Of the MINI
bres Valley of New Mexico easily
worked, but it also is deep, rich and
enduring. 1t produces abundantly ev-
cry product grown in the temperate
zone with the exception of citrus
fruits. The climate is mild and eX-
ceptionally healthiul, The supply of
water practically is ineXhaustible. 1t
is obtained from an immense under
ground lake some Is to 20 feet from
the surface. 1t is claimed by the val
ley people to be the purest water in
America. Every year there is pro-
cured by pumping sufficient water to
irrigate pa 900 acres one foot deep.
The Mimbres River furnishes the sup
ply. 1t is mostly a sunken river, ris-
ing in the Black Range and flowing
in a southeastcrly direction. Under
normal conditions it flows on the sur
race for a distance of about forty
miles.
Cotton growing has passed the ex-
perimental stage with results to salts

At Deming.
All grains thrive in Mimbres Val
ley, making heavy yields. Alfalfa is
depended upon, averaging from three
to seven tons per acre. There Is a
ready market for all alfalfa grown.
The raising of live stock is carried
OF successfully, hogs, poultry and cat
tie do remarkably well in this health
tul climate. Farmers fatten their hogs
on peanuts, turning them into the
fields to dig them. S~un-flowers are
grown extensively for silage, avery

ing period for sunflowers in this eli
mate is 90 days.
Dcming is the metropolis of MIN
bres Valley and the county seat of
Luna County, Ii is the hub of the
mining activities in southwestern New
Mexico. 1t is served by three con-
tinental railways that give the val
ley exceptional transportation facili-
ties for marketing produce. Deming
shares with the valley the advantage
of a water supply that tests 99.99

immediate future an organized effort
to improve the Indians stock will be
Instituted by the government.
In addition to the sheep raised in
the territory surrounding Gallup,
more than 100000 head OF beef cattle
are raised. Mckinley County itself
grazes about $1,000 cattle, Rio Arri-
ba County 10000, San Juan County
$500, and Valencia County $4,000.
Again it is to be remembered that
this does not inclure the vast herds
ranging in Apache and Navajo coun-
ties, which are among the largest IN
the state of Arizona.
The motorization OF industry
throughout the United States has
minimized the importance of the
horse in many sections, but in the
hundred-mile strip Of land radiating
from Gallup 10000 horses are being
raised, or enough to moun several
divisions of cavalry.
The actual financial value of these
immense herds OF sheep, cattle, and
horses is hard to estimate i'll the pres
ent unsettled condition OF the stock
market, but from the numerical sta
tistics here given, it is easy to see
why this region OF the southwest is
enc of the richest portions of the
United States. The figures given are
exclusive of the herds and flocks be-
longing to the Navajo and Zuni In
dams which are not taxable, and
therefore are not figured in the II
ty tax rolls, Nevertheless, the com
mercial Importance of these herds is
no less than the white mems herds,
and the majority of the business in
connection with them is handled
through the banks and business
houses of Gallup.

A PROMISING INDUSTRY

One of the local industries which
promises to increase and become OF
Importance Il Santa Fe is the plant
OF the Santa Fe Utilities company
which was organized and made a
start last year, but did not get down
TO a productive and profitable basis
until this summer.
The plant includes an artificial ice
plant which has sufficient capacity
TO supply Santa Fe and surrounding
communities, an ice cream plant which
is supplying most of the local and
some outside demands with an ex-
ceedingly high grade product, cold
storage rooms which at present are
sufficient to take care OF the COM
pany's products and the stock of the
NICHOLS Packing company which is
now carried in this city, and a butter
factory which has only recently been
put in operation.
At present the company is using
all of the local cream that is being
offered, considerable from shipping
points along the New Mexico Cen
trail railroad in both Santa Fe and
Torrance counties, regular shipments

onal shipments from the San LUIS
Valley in Colorado.
Among the proposed engagements
which are being considered for the
immediate future is increased storage
capacity.
Santa Fe, at present essentially a
residential city. needs and has OPP
%portunitics for productive industries,
and such undertakings as the plant
OF this company should have the sup
port and patronage OF every citizen
OF the community.
The building boom of the present
season and the increased demand for
more residences has resulted in num-
erous building plans along that line
which insure more adequate housing
facilities within the next year, so that
the next most important conSidera-
ton for civic progress IS industrial
enterprises which will provide a home
pay roll FOR the local unemployed.

would normally be credited to the
fiscal year of l92l-will be deferred to

ferred grazing fees are credited to

$544,OU of local county revenue will
be deferred one year beyond the date
when normally due. This is an i'm
source OF income to many
western counties, which depend upon
it for current school expenditures and
the construction and maintenance of
county roads, and the failure to credit
the deferred grazing fees to the fiscal

to counties not meeting current obi

cases.

HOW

HOW
CODE OF THE PILGRIMS
DEALT WITH PROFITEERS.
-Profiteering began in this cOun-
try with the coming of the Pill
grims. The protest against this
form of greed came almost as
soon from the same Pilgrims.
That it was certainly unique
there is no doubt, take it from
the record of the First church.
In Boston, for the year 1889.
According to this record the
first profiteer to be hailed before
the court of public opinion was
Robert Keavne, a bigwig of that
city. He was publicly admOn-
isEed against excessive rates for
his wares, because 1t was dis

His minister administered the
public rebuke. And not only
was Brother Keavne called to
account before the congregation.

pains to indicate the true from
the false rules of trade.
The false principles were
these: That a man might sell
as dear as he a and buy as
cheap as he car If a man lose
by casualty at sea or In some Of
his commodities. he may raise
the price of the rest. That he
may sell as he bought, though
he paid too dear and the COM
modify be fallen. That as a man
may take advantage of his own
skill or ability, so he may Of an
others ignorance or necessity.
Some of the parsons rules for
trading that were approved at
this extraordinary meeting read
as follows in the old record: A
man may not sell above the cur
rent price. When a man loseth
in any commodity for want Of
skill he must look to his own
fault, and not lay it to another.
When a man loseth by casualty

by Providence that he may not

ON A WHITE BASIS

1t is mistake to say that the Republican party
ever was a real friend to the negro. There
a time when many influential men under that ban
that the system of slavery gave the south
certain economic advantages over the north, and
they thereupon yearned to set the negro free. The
accomplishment of this shrewd purpose naturally
put the negro under obligations to his benefactors
and, feeling that large contingent of assured votes
would nure to their political advantages, the Re
publicans gave him the ballot,
Almost at once, however, they began to expert
ence difficulties. Dearly as the negroes loved their
liberators, they loved themselves better and in
exercising their newly acquired rights of citizen
ship they insisted that to the voters belonged the
spois. They wanted the Offices themselves. The
white people of the north would not stand for that
Hence. for years and years there have been strife
