Trophy to Irrigation Farmer.
Vernon L. Sullivan, territorial
irrigation engineer, has offered
a trophy cup to the New Mexico
farmer who writes the best fif
teen hundred word article on his
own experience in raising crops
by irrigation in the territory.
The offer is a timely one and in
dicates that Mr. suiiivan is co-
operating heartily in the work of
stimulating interest in irrigation,
and New Mexico farming, in
view of the approaching irriga
tion congress in this city. Mr.
Sullivan asks the support of the
territorial press in this proposi
tion, which will of course bo
heartily given. The conditions
of the offer are set forth in the
following letter received by the
Morning Journal from Mr. Suli
van: Santa Fe, Jan. 24, '08.
"Gentlemen: Realizing that
there has been but little done in
the territory to assist the irriga
tion farmer in obtaining better
methods in the use of water for
irrigation purposes, tho territor
ial engineer has decided to offer
a trophy cup to the farmer who
will write the Dest article of not
over fifteen hundred words from
his own experience intending to
show economical methods in the
use of water to obtain the best
results, provided that the news
papers of the territory will as
sist him in the way of publish
ing two or more of the best of
these articles.
The object is to assist in bring
ing about better methods in ir
rigation and a general education
to the irrigating public, and be
lieving that the best results can
be obtained through the medium
of local newspapers, I am writ
ing you to know if you will as
sist this department in the way
of publishing notice to the farm
ers of your locality of the chance
to try for this trophy, and later,
several of the articles written by
them.
. "In case you will co-operate
with this department in this mat
ter, the engineer will forward
to you description of the trophy
and the instructions regarding
the writing of the article, so the
farmers In your locality can be
informed through your columns
of the desire of this department
to receive articles from them.

That Lease Law.
The following in regard to tho
lense law will be read with inter
est by all who are interested in
; range stock:
Mr. Charles T. Adams.
1 CarlsbJd, N. M.
Dear Sir:
I have your favor of the 2oth.
inst. inquiring what action was
: taken in regard to the "lease
j law" at the National Wool Grow
lers Convention held in Helena.
That convention passed a reso
lution as strongly against any
government control of the range
for grazing purK)ses as it possi
bly could, and intends making
every effort to defeat any pro
Iiosed legislation for that pur
pose. The convention was a large
and enthusiastic one, in numbers
several times as large as the con
vention held in Denver. Ten
thousand dollars was raised in
the convention to be used in ed
ucating the public to the evils
and dangers to the sheep indus
try of a lease law and for the
purpose of sending a committee
to Washington to work against
the passage of any such legisla
tion should it be necessary to
Bend such a committee this win
ter. You can rest assured there
will be a most determined fight
made to prevent the passage of a
"lease law."

which gave me almoas Instant relief. 1
can cheerfully recommeud It, and will
add nvy name to your lint of sufferers."
