The Pecos Valley Beats the World.
No county in New Mexico was without some prize-winning exhibit at the St. Louis Exposition. Prize-winning wheat and prize-winning minerals came in some cases from the same county. Roswell and the Pecos Valley did not get any ribbons or medals on minerals, but our horticultural and agricultural products (except wheat) won as many prizes as all the balance of the Territory. We quote from the list of awards:
Gold Medal.-J. J. Hagerman, Roswell, alfalfa, hay and corn.
Silver Medal.-Allen Growers' Association, Roswell, cantaloupes.
Bronze Medal.-Chamber of Commerce, Roswell, cantaloupes. J. E. Wilson, Roswell, potatoes.
Group 96.-Bronze.-Honey in the comb and in jars (two medals) Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Slease, Roswell.
Horticulture.
Group 107.-Gold.--J. J. Hagerman, Roswell, fruit. The collective exhibit of New Mexico won a gold medal, and Mr. Hagerman's was the best of the entire collection.
Group 107.-Silver.--R. F. Barnett, Roswell, apples: Robert Beers, Roswell, fruit; Charles De Bremond, Roswell, fruit: Parker Earl Orchard Co., Roswell, plums; Ingleside Orchard, Roswell, peaches; L. F. D. Orchard, Roswell, apples; George Medley, Roswell, apples; F. G. Tracy, Carlsbad, peaches.
Group 107.-Bronze.-Gen. R. S. Benson, Carlsbad, apples; Pickering Orchard, Roswell, fruit; Roswell Chamber of Commerce, peaches; C. H. Sansel, Roswell, apples; G. W. Stevens, Roswell, fruit.
The Roswell Board of Education also won a bronze medal on its educational exhibit.
The locality that wins such prizes at an Exposition in competition with the world is worth investigation. For full information homeseekers should write the Secretary of the Roswell Commercial Club, or the leading real estate men of the Valley whose names will be found in the advertising columns of the
