The Land or Sunshine.
(To the Kilitor Intctior Journal.)
My attention Iihh just been called to an
Hrticlo published in your paper, under
the above heading, listed at
Now Mexico, in which the writer
enyB that tho fnct of our hnvitiu to
our IntiilH hero will prevent this
Houth western country from ever becoming
a great hunting country.
Tho writer is sadly in error, in this
statement. I'. Is h fact, known to till
persons who have ever traveled
in tho arid rontons especially in
(Solnrndo, Now Mexico, Arizona, and
Southern California -that this region
comprint several of the uiont prolltahlo
farming districts on tho continent. The
expense of nppljing water to laud, that
is under an irrigating ranal, is hut a
small matter. Men who are experts in
irrigating can ho employed at jl.00 to
fl.W) a day, and a good hand will irrigate
i to 10 acres a day, regularly. Forty
acre.-, properly handled, under irrigation,
will produce more crops, on an
average, one year with another, than KM)
acres In any portion of tho rain belt
country. Not only thin, hut prices of
farm productHaro niuchbottor.all through
tho arid region, than in tho Kustern
states,
In refutation of your correspondent's
statement, to tho effect that a man can
y auly cultivate a few seres of land under
irrigation, it is only neccjwary to state
that thorn are many farina in Southern
California ranging in extent from
rive hundred to several thousand acres,
each. Tliere are single fields of alfalla,
in California, of 1,000 to .',000 acred, each.
There aro grain f.nim of L',000 to 5,000
acres, each, b!1 of which are irrigated
regularly, every tear, There are orchards
and Tlnevarda ratntiiii! in slice from H00
to 1,'JOO acres, each.
In tho Pecos Valley, tho most Important
irrigation district of New Mexico,
there are already several large faring,
and other capitalist aro Investing largely
in lands hero and will open up larne
farms within tho next year. Mr. C. V.
Greene hns over 0,000 acres in cultiva
tlon; Mr. It. W. TaiisM haa CIO acreH in
alfalfa and small grain; Mih. Rogers haa
300 acres in alfalla; Mr. Gregory haa :EM
iu alfalfa and small grain; Mr. K. McQueen
Gray ia planting H'-H) acres to tho
aame line of crops; Mr. F, IJ. Pepper I'""
3'JO acres planted in rannlgre; Mr. M.
Satterwhite haa 100 acres in alfalfa.
Tlieao men all live near Kddy ami may
ho addressed through the postollico at
this point. Tho Chisum farm, at Kos-well,
consists of 1,'JOO acres, all under
cultivaliou, and largely in alfalfa, w hilo
Col. John W. Toe, of the iwiiie place, haa
300 acres In alfalfa. Many other largo
farms might he mentioned, hut these
inHtancea aresulHcient to establish tho
fact that extensive farming may he, mid
is carried on, under Imitation, aa well as
iu the rain belt country. A man who
invests his money in putting in farming,
under an irrigating canal, knows that ho
will teap a harvest, while in n country
dependent upon rain fall ho is never certain
of tills. Ho Mimplylhopeaand prays
that there will bo rain enough to pro
duce a crop, and not enough to destroy
it, In caao it does grow. In tho arid
wo have neither droutliBjnor floods.
In case any of your fanners jdesiro further
Information, regardlnglthislcountry,
I shall be glad to answer any questions.
If any of thorn aro skeptical aa to the
statements tnado above let thorn write to
tho parties whoso names anJ addresses

Dishes to wash and dresses to make.

Oh, grandma smooths out)her apron string,
And gates down at her wedding ring,
And still she smiles as she drops a tear:
'Tlssolemner nat to. "Yes, my dear."
