IRRIGATED LANDS

Tho facts that we have advertised about Stites & Nickerson clearing
?10,000.00 from fo'rty-threo acres of onions last winter has been told so
sftern that wo will now give you the results of the farming operations of
C. S. Taylor, of Mission, in raising snap beans.
Mr. Taylor is an ex-ranger, and his experience in farming dates back
only to the time of his purchase of ttvo acres of land at La Lomlta one
year ago.
" v In September, 1008, he planted one and one-half acres to beans and
shortly after planting them went to the new town of Chapln, where he
"was employed by Mr. John Closner. for several months.
During his absence his beans matured, and" he instructed a neighbor to
have them marketed.
When ho returned to Mission a day or two ago he was very agrce
ablj surprised U learn that his one and one-half acres of beans had pro
duced 178 bushels and had sold at an average price of $2.25 per bushel,
net to him, aggregating S391.C2.
When it Is realized that this crop was planted, grown and -marketed
during the the three months of October, November and December and re
alized at the rate of 201.00 per acre or $130.00 per nonth, for the time
they were being grown, some idea of the possibilities oi ''dalgo County
can be better understood. '

pass. A reward of $100 has been
raised by the members of the regi
ment for the capture of the assailiant
of Edith Gambley, providing he
proves to be a member of the regi
ment. The self-respecting men of the
Twenty-fourth are anxious, it is said,
to aid in bringing to justice any men
guilty of assault or other crimes.
Miss Gambley was brutally attacked
recently by a colored man in a sol
dier's uniform, and alleged to. be a
member of the Twenty-fourth Infan

up, it is said, and tho citizens have
become so incensed over the situation
that the men of the village organized
a vigilance committee to protect
themselves and families.
