HI01I CONGRESS
Great Meeting Represented
Every State in Union and
15 Foreign Nations.
CHICAGO ROYAL HOST
New Mexico was Right up
on the Front Seat
all the Time.
The nineteenth annual meeting of
the trreat National Irrigation Con
grew in the matchless metropolis of
the Middle West, was indeed a grand
and glorious inspiration and left an
impression on the East that will be
very bencficital to the West.partieu
lary the new Btates of New Mexico
and Arizona.
It was a fact of general comment
that the delegates west of the Mis
souri river were possessed of a vast-
ly greater degree of the spirit of "I
Will," than the cITete easterner,
and it wua with intense satisfaction
that we noticed how much the east
erner ami even the representatives
of foreign nations are interested in
our marvelous development and
progress. It is also very . pleasant
to notice how the "Magic of the
Pump" has stirred the commercial
world, our own Mimbres Valley
coming in for its full share of
praise.
The ninny government experts
here, and the Southwestern railroad
people, Editor Vandergift of The
Earth and people of the reclamation
service, join the writer in boosting
Deming. Many of the great men
in attendance at this congress have
Urn in Deming and while there
were caught with the editors kodak.
None of them are at all anxious to
deny it and every me seems ready
to verify any statement we make.
Bio. Vnndergrift gave a little lec
ture in the presence of erhaps a
hundred or more delegates and
others at the Auditorium hotel last
evening in which he said: "I honest
ly lielievo that the Doming country
hiis greater possibilities and is the
best proposition in the United States
today. It is suH'rior to any govern
ment project," ami the Deming del
egate was more than delighted to
"second the motion."
So far as our observation goes
the Deming booklets are the only
ones that go into the pockets of
those interested in pumping for ir
rigation and the tremendously in
creasing interest in this matter is
easily apparent.
The Mimbres Valley is attracting
so much attention at present that
Pmf, Sammuel Forte! r, Chief of
the Irrigation Investigations of the
Deportment of Agriculture at
Washington, who has address at this
meeting and who is an exceedingly
well informed man, has asked the
writer to give up some of his good
films to le made into colored bIhIcb
in order that the Department may
show to the world whnt pumping
for irrigation means. Much as we
prize the films we are going to let
Prof. Fortier have ' them in order
that he may let the world know
what we are doing and incidently
to bring a lot .more of. good peopW
to Deming.
The New Mexico delegation elec
ted the following ollieers:
Chairman-Willard E. Molt, of
Deming.
Secretary Forrest Mckinley, of
Las Cruces.
Honorary Vice President Gov.
elect W. C. McDonald, of Caorizozo.
Committee on Credentials Prof.

Committee an resolutions Col.
Ralph E. Twitchell, of Las Vegas.
Committee on permanent organi
zation L. Clapp, of Hatch.
Committee to select next meeting
place - A. A. Jones, of Ijib Vegas.
To rescind to New Mexico call for
5 minute talk W. 0. McNary of Las
Cruces.
We expect to return to Deming,
U'st town In the world, in time to
bring glad tidings to the Chamber
of Commerce banquet Dec. 19, when
we hope to meet every live wire of
the Mimbres Valley and let them
know what the world thinks of
our country.
Some Alfalfa Facts.
The' following story on alfalfa
was written by Willard II. Dennis
of Pecos and is authentic:
Alfalfa has been planted success
fully nearly every month in the
year; less need, however, is required
and probably a more vigorous plant
secured, when it ..is put in the
ground the last of August or dur
ing the month of September.
Any field that is in reasonably
good condition say for the planting
of wheat la all right for seeding
alfalfa; the one Important point Is
that it should water evenly and
quickly.
The width between minor sub-
laterals, width of borders or creates,
etc., are matters that muBt in a
measure be determined by the class
of toil, natural grade of the land
