CHASE, of Cimarron which should be convincing proof that the Cimarron country is the apple region of the southwest. Mr. Chase is now gathering a thirty to forty car load 1910 crop: Cimarron, N. M., March 15, 1910. New Mexico Bureau of Immigration, Albuquerque. Gentlemen The results of fruit growing in Colfax, county out of an experience of nearly forty years, have demonstrated beyond any question that this is as good a fruit country as any of the famous fruit growing districts of Colorado or the northwest, and that it has some advantages over any of them. The late frosts after the fruit is in blossom, are not so frequent nor of such long duration as in Colorado, thus lessening the cost of smudging and decreasing the percent age of failures. Those insects and parasites which make fruit growing so uncertain and ex pensive in many localities do not exist here and so far, spraying has not been necessary. Our fruits are of exceptionally fine flavor and have splendid keeping qualities, the ap pies particularly are well colored, thin skinned, crisp and juicy. The crops are as certain as in any locality where fruit of the highest quality is grown. In most of tne orctuvdj 01 tne county there nave been but few failures from any cause, and in my orchard but one failure in thirty three years. The trees grow very rapidly under irrigation in this rich soil and come into bearing early. The older trees have remarkably smooth clear bark and continue to pro duce abundant fruit of highest quality. Altitude, climatic conditions and soil all seem pérfectly adapted to fruit growing. Do not understand me as saying that perfect crops can be grown without labor and attention. The orchard land should be thoroughly plowed and irrigated at proper intervals. The trees should be pruned at the right time and in the right way. After the fruit is gathered the ground should be given a good plowing leaving it rough. It then should be irrigated and laid by for the win ter. By this means the ground will freeie to a greater depth thus retarding the early budding in the spring. The life of an apple tree in this locality depends largely upon the use of pruning tools. Let the orchardist properly prune his trees, removing each year the old branches which have done their work and allowing new shoots to take their place and it will prolong the pro ductive life to the tree for years. I moved to this country in 1866, and started fruit growing in a small way on my present ranch three miles north of Cimarron, in 1872, when I set out a small orchard of apples, pears, plums, cherries and berries. I have added to it from time to time until I now have an orchard of 65 acres. The orchard began bearing in 1875 76, and I have had but one complete failure of a crop from that time to this. Prior to 1907 I had no loss worth mentioning from any cause. It has never been necessary for me to spray or use any preventive against insects. I can say that I have never found what is known as a wormy apple in my orchard. In my judgment there is no better paying crop to be grown in Colfax county than the fruit which I have men tioned, provided the fruit growers will give his land and his trees careful attention. I will say further that apples, pears, plums, cherries and the small fruits will do as well here as in any other place in the Rocky Mountain region. Yours very truly, M. M. CHASE, Cimarron, N. M.
