Excerpt from Lincoln County, New Mexico
Fortunately for the army of homeseekers now finding its way into the Southwest New Mexico has a number of favored regions as jet thinly populated and offering wide areas of good land, either open to homestead entry under the federal land laws, or which may be purchased at prices within reach of the man of limited means, thus offering opportunity to the man who is seeking to better his condition by establishing a home in a country as yet comparatively undeveloped and in which prospects for development and consequent profit are great. Lincoln county, over much of its great area, is one of these favored regions. Until the past four or five years the greater part of the county was considered fit only for grazing; but, as in many other sections of New Mexico, the application of scientific farming has demonstrated that crops may be grown without irrigation over very considerable portion of the county. The discovery of the possibilities of farming without irrigation has attracted wide attention to the county; homeseekers are turning there in constantly increasing numbers and the demand for information is great. The purpose of this book is to supply this information in compact, accurate form. In its preparation the Bureau of Immigration has had the co-operation of a number of reliable business men in Lincoln county who are thoroughly familiar with local conditions, and the information offered, having been carefully verified, may be relied upon. The effort throughout has been to conservatism in stating the resources and advantages of the county.
