FORT SUMNER TO
CO STRONG NEXT
] YEAR ON COTTON
Success of the PeCoS Valley
Leads TO Proposal to
Plant 1000 Acres and
Erect Gin in De BaCa Co.

The country in the vicinity of
Fort Sumner, de Baca county, like
that surrounding Portales, Ar
1+esia. Carlsbad and Roswell, is
about to engage extensively in the
raising of cotton. Reports from
Fort Sumner are that 1000 acres
will be planted to cotton next
year, and that gin will be
erected. Promoters of the gin
have assured the Fort Sumner
farmers that if they will contract
1900 acres the gin will be ready
for operation by the time the
1928 crop is picked Cotton was
raised successfully this year to
within IA miles south Of Fort
Sumner. Cotton crops also did
we'll in the Clovis vicinity, when
has a climate practically identical
with that of Fort Sumner.
Pecos Is Prosperous
Acknowledgement who have re-
turned recently from the Pecos
valley say that the cotton crop
has proved so successful that the
Farmers are going in for larger
iacreages next year. The cotton
growing sections of the valley are
said to be the most prosperous
sections of the state this year be-
cause of the good crops and
ready sales. A prominent banker
of the valley said recently that
cotton would be the salvation OF
a country which had almost gone
bankrupt through the misfortunes
of the livestock industry The
financial shortage has been great
ely relieved through cotton sales
Sand banks in the Pecos valley are
reporting conditions better thar
!, for several years.
The cotton crop on dry land
ihas been running from one-hali
sto twc~thirds of q bale to the
.iacre, and on irrigated land a bale
an acre has been the average
The country is full of cotton buy
ers from Texas. Land values have
Increased and sales are numerous
In the Portales district 80 pieces
of land have changed hands with
in As days. Indications are thai
the cotton growing activities viii

the most successful and richest
sections in the southwest.
The Portales gin has ginneG
1910 bales of cotton so far this
season and has so bales in sight
over $4,000 was put into circu'
1 lation through the cotton crop
MI is hoped to increase the pro
8duction within a few years t
5000 bales, which would NEAR
#s500,000 at present prices. 1t is
ESTIMATED that a $4,000 acre croI

Aduce fully that amount and would
Ispccupy less than 2 per cert OF
Hhe total acreage of the county.
The gin at Roswell has turned

Recent visitors at Artesia say
that the oil well recently drilled
there is turning out 25 barrels {
