1 POSSeS As I have just returned from a visit with Ross county friends located at Roswell, New Mexico, it may be of interest to others to hear from the Pecos Valley -situated in the eouth-eastern portion of that state. The area of the valley Is embraced In the country extending east from El Capitan mountains, sixty-five miles. An enormous voluma of water fed by numerous springs and melting snot, forms a river of pure, crystal water flowing down to the base of the mountain into the sand hills where it is eventually swallowed up by Mother Earth. Here is formed a vast, subterranean reservoir of water extending eastward to Roswell and heyond for many miles, in a southeastward direction. At the eastern extreme bt the lake 'b'elt the water flows out again to the surface where it fornta river flowing through a valley of marsh land: In this section ditching' and draining is often necessary in order to relieve the surface of excessive moisture.

The Roswell belt, however, is the most valuable land, nature seeming to have destined it as the garden spot of the valley. The suface is not entirely level but gently rolling with slight elevations here and there sufficient -to flow the water from artesian wells situated at 'their highest points. It is a beautiful sight to behold an artesian well flowing a continuous stream of clear, crystal water, eight inches in diameter and Mayor Cahill received a letter from a resident of Clarksburg Friday morning, signed "mother," in which the writer asked for help for that town in the way of prevention of selling intoxicating liquors without license and various forms of gambling. She told of the evils being permitted In the town every day because it has no mayor and asked Mr. Cahill to take some action to have a mayor appointed.

The writer told of how a drug store in the place is selling whiskey to men and boys in the vicinity without license and how the men would congregate and gamble while their wives were over the wash tub, as she said. She also spoke of a hack driver who runs a line between this city and Clarksburg, and said that he has been hauling whiskey to that place by the loads. She said that she was mertily expressing the sentiments of the citizens there and ached the mayor to take some steps to stop the evils or refer the matter to some one who had authority to do so. Mayor Cahill stated that he did not pay any attention to anonymous letters, but if the writer would make a signed statement or come to his office in person, that he would do all in his power to help the citizens of the town.

The utmost care is given to planting, pruning and cultivation of the young orchard. A uniform grade of yearling trees are used, headed low, set to a line, and trained to an upright head.

The growth of one season is often as much as six feet. Veil cared for orchards come into bearing at the age of four to five years. The writer visited some of the older apple orchards In the lower valley where smudging is necessary; a failure is unknown. The yield, per tree, of fancy fruit annually is from ten to twenty boxes, netting the grower as high as $300 per acre. Peach growing while as yet not extensive is proving profitable; trees, however, are short lived and are used as filler in the orchard.

Canteloupes are profitably grown In young orchards, fur two or three years, as intensive cultivation is necessary to keep the orchard in good, healthy condition. The Roswell cantaloupes have a superior flavor aria sweetness not to be found in melons from other western sections. This fact attracted buyers from the east and a contract waa -made last sPting with the John Nix commission merchants of Chicago, to handle melons grown on 600 "acres, at $1.08 per crate, less cost of crate, leigli2g a net profit of flfi tentd. The yield this year of contaloupes will average 100 crates per acre. More than 1000 acres of orchards have a cover crop of cantalonpes, From three to four car loads of cantaloupes are loaded at Roswell every day.

Alfalfa hay is anothei paying crop. There is probably a larger tonnage of hailed alfalfa I shipped from thN point than any other In the south. From five to seven cuttings are secured annually and a reafsly market takes all the surplus at good prices. Coin Is also grown and will yield from 50 to 60 hu. per acre where sufficient irrigation is 'used.

Oats and barley also do well. After visiting Roswell and the Pecos Valley I believe it presents many advantages over other new western sections, where natural conditions of Irrigation exist. It was our pleasure to visit Ross county friends who are no permanently located in the valley, all expressing themselves as contented, with good health, good crops.
