It has been demonstrated that the small
stock farmer can make more money com-
pared to his invest-

Denver City Railroads are now intersecting
this great ranch and the Choctaw road is
now building from Amarillo to Tucumcari,
K. M., and will traverse the entire Deaf
Smith county portion of the ranch. It is
also expected that the Santa Fe branch,
running to Albuquerque, N. M., will be built
from Bovina in the near future.
This land, being situated in the western
part of the Panhandle, lies close to the

is more susceptible to good rains than is
