PAGE SIX GREENE COUNTY JOURNAL Thursday, January 27, 1955 SprinklingIrrigationMakes Desert BloomOnHorneyRanch AtYeso, NewMexico People, Spots In The News JAMESTOWN—This news Item Is a clipping brought to the office by Mayor Floyd Smith, and it was sent to him by Ills cousin Paul Hor­ ney from tlie Artesln Advocate newspaper, Artesln., New Mexico, Can you imagine n 40-ncrc tract of lnnd smack dab in the middllc of the desert, with tali, green sprouts of wheat and barley standing stately against the gray, drab back­ ground of prairie land-defying the man who said, “all this land needs la new land." Hotter yet, can you possibly Im­ agine what 40 acres Of good feed lug land can mean to the dry-land rancher who pits ills strength and endurance against Mother Nature’s dry spells? Just 150 miles from Artesla is one of the most wondrous ranches In the state, the Paul Homey ranch, located near the small com­ munity of Ycso somewhat near Port Sumner. On 38 sections of land, Paul Hor­ ney and his son, Paul, Jr„ were run­ ning 2,000 to 3,000 sheep and 100 to 500 head of cattle and finding It a tough row to hoc during the past four years when this section of the country took its worst beat­ ing from drought. ‘‘What we need is water,” Paul decided, ‘‘so let’s go lookin’ for it,” lie told his son. They found it, too. UNDER THE GROUND WAS a vast supply of artesian water, ap­ parently never tapped, since the present well has a free-flow rate !of 50 gallons per minute. When ;they found the water, there remain­ ed only one question—"What are we going to do with it?” It didn’t take an engineer to tell them the lnnd near the well, along with tlie other 3714 sections, was too hilly for surface irrigation, It didn’t take a government economy ngent to tell them expense for ce­ ment ditches would be too great— and It didn’t lake and old exper­ ienced farmer to assure them the sandy desert soil would not hold great quantities of water used in surface Irrigation. So Paul and Ills pnrtncr son look- . ed nt the situation again. "We’ve got water In the bottom of a dried out arroyo, We’ve got sandy soil but good soil— now growing salt cedar, sapping nil the water they jean reach with their long, suck­ ing roots." Then the inspiration came. ‘‘Let's investigate sprinkler systems." PERHAPS TWO MONTHS BE­ FORE Horncys thought of sprink­ ler Irrigation for their land, an owner looked into the future, de­ ciding New Mexico would one day irrigate all its lnnd by sprinklers, So Smith Machinery Co., in Ros­ well, with offices in Lovington, nnd plans for expansion into Artesin, hired an irrigation expert who specializes in sprinkler systems. He was Bill Hardwick, “perhaps the bestest friend we've ever had,” according to Horneys. To be continued next week.
