May New Mexicans have always claimed that the mesa lands in this territory would Mrs. as productive any of the valley lands and river bottoms if water could be put on them, tills has been proved here in this section by sheriff Felipe Lucero on his cattle ranch just across the Organ mountains. He had a well put down to a depth of over 100 feet, securing plenty of good water. Last year he planted watermelons, cantaloupes, sweet corn, beans, pumpkins, and other vegetables along the outside of his big dirt tank and secured fine crops from everything he put in ground. This year he has done the same and his mesa garden looks as well, iC not better, than the gardens right in the valley.

Mr. Lucero also planted a number of trees close to the ranch house and at quite a distance from the tank and these are all living aud have grown to a remarkable extent in the one year since they were set out. Another instance is that on the Isaacs ranch on the west, side of the mountains wrhere an orchard was planted at quite a distance from the well and tank, and which received no irrigations at all. These trees are now bearing fruit which is of fine flavor and pood size. A large percent of the trees lived and are flourishing.

All this land is mesa, full of rocks, and on which generally nothing but grease brush and mesquite grows. NATIONAL GUARD HALL. Las Cruces, X. May dance of Anthony. INJI RED Las Cruces, IN POWER BALER.
