It is none too early to lay the foun dation now for the annual exhibition of I -una county product under the ausph-es of the Luna County Fair As msrlation. The premium lists should he sent ont very noon and the adver tising matter should Is well circulated to Insure that the interest of all Luna county citizens wlU tie aroused to the importance of the event. Last year the fair waa held at tlie armory the first three days In October and was a great success from the standpoint of an agricultural exhibit of educational value. There waa noma complaint that the amusement feature were neglected. If that be so It la up to all those Interested to get to the mass meeting at 2 o'clock next Thurs day afternoon at the Demlng Cub and register their Idea. There 1 now more than H'.tKKI available for the fair and at least a thousand more can be raised If the enthusiasm of the commu nity I sufficiently aroused. The fact that cotton haa been added to the list of Mimhre Valley product suggest that there will aoou be renew ed Interest In farming and that new settler ran lie expected to enter the business. Already the Interests In lands here is apparent lu renewed en quiries, filings at the land office and pending real estate transfers. It is predicted that real estate will be mov ing freely before the end of the year. The Mlmhres Valley offers tlie cheap est and best agricultural Ian to be had iu the Culled State.
