CARLSBAD FINDS
IRRIGATION HAS
BEEN A SUCCESS

No more striking evidence of the
beneficient. effect and unsuitable
stability of government-initia ir-
rigation is to be found than in
Carlsbad project. The effect of
practical reclamation is to uplift
not only the immediate community,
but to develop the entire environ

even beyond. All southeastern

and virile population and to exer-
else commanding influence upon
the whole state--owes it's railroads
and settlement to the vision and
initiative of those who began irri7
cation at Carlsbad. although in
their own enterprise they succumb-
ed to disaster.
In 1906 the reclamation service
assumed control and repaired the
Irrigation works to save from COM
plete bankruptcy community de-
prived of water for two years
through the loss of Avalon dam. In
spite of initial disappointments,
Misunderstanding and individual
failures, the strong arm of the gov
eminent carried on steadily to final
success. ...s
Today, with its wonderful cli-
mate, abundant water, promise of
through railway connections, pros
poets of doubled productive area
through an extension of the pro-
ject should Investigations now
nearing completion prove satisfac-
tory, a long growing season, a very
wide diversity of staple crop pro-

mutually helpful population, Carls-
bad project looks with confidence
to the future. relying implicitly
upon self help. building upon the
foundation laid in government

upon government backing as in
surance of stability that no disaster
can destroy.
Repayments to the United States
are $634.S7S.35 upon construction
and operation and. maintenance

than $4,000 June 80. 1920, partly
due to 40 per cent increase In an
nual construction accruals for these

in crop values in 1920. Our in
debtedness increased only $4,000
the past twelve months, and good
crop this year with fair prices will
reduce it at least $4,000.
No appeal for general relief has
gone to Washington from Carlsbad
project, and we have this year
spent nearly $250.000 in local i'm
provements and forward-looking
surveys and Investigations. We
stand confidently upon our own re-
sources, with an average crop pro-
duction in 1921 of $41.53 per acre,

A total of $3.50 acre-feet was de-
livered to the farms during May.
Replanting of cotton, caused by
heavy rains in the latter part of
April, was in progress, and at the
close of the month had been prac-
tically completed; good stands were
reported over the entire cotton area
with the exception of a few small
seeped areas near the town of Low
ing. Cutting of the first crop of
alfalfa hay commenced about the
twentieth. During the last week
of Nav few fields were damaged
by showers. The price Of alfalfa
hay. opened at about SIS per ton
and gradually declined. until at the
end of the month the best hay was
selling for about $11 per ton.
Flocks of sheep which had been
held for Landing on the project dur
ing the spring were generally
moved to the ranges during the
latter part of the month. Practi-
cally all of the fat lambs shipped
to the Kansas City market were
sold at prices averaging about $14
per hundred. Eight carloads OF fat
yearlings were shipped to the Ell
Paso and Fort Worth markets. The
Ell Paso shipment of two cars
brought 81 cents per pound; the
Forth Worth shipment had not
been sold at the close of the month.

EASILY BOARD MOVING CARS
Women Today, With Their Short Skirts, Said to Be Adept in the
 Running, Flying Leap."

Whether the girls of today, with the muchly discussed bobbed hair and modernized skirts are more ath- letic and daring or their brothers are losing their speed, is not known, but according to conductors of busses and trolleys the young maid has a mania for the running, flying leap for the car step, which former ly was the exclusive right and pos session of the male.
 "I have to positively stand in front of the step to prevent them from either jumping on or flying off at the corner," said the dime col, lector of a Fifth avenue bus which went up along the drive, according to the New York Sun. "They take a fast start, a flying leap, and there they are. When I say anything to them they are indignant; and one day fiapper slipped at the end of her leap and then bawled me out be- cause I asked her if she was hurt. :"
 On the street car line the cars having the side running board are the target for the leap of the flying stenographic Amazons these days. They seize the side handle of the car as well as any hardened com muter clutches the rail of the 7:58 each morning as he swings aboard at the furthest end of the suburban platform. The best part of 1t all is, the fare collectors say, that the fair maids are pretty efficient at that sort of thing and few fall or are hurt in any way.
