Full caption reads as follows: El Cerrito, San Miguel County, New Mexico. Ewes and lambs in a corral in the village. The staple crops in El Cerrito are corn, beans and alfalfa. Almost everything is grown on irrigated land although there are a few fields on the mesa where a certain amount of dry farming is carried on. Most of the corn is of the native blue type which was first grown here by the Indians. Some of the other types of corn are fed to stock, but never the blue. Alfalfa produces more feed per acre than any other plant and for this reason more than half the irrigated land is devoted to this crop. There is little commercial farming in the village. A few sacks of beans or bushels of peaches are sold each year, and two families have small flocks of sheep which brings in a little money - but for the most part the emphasis here is on subsistence farming. Food is produced for home consumption. Even the livestock economy is at the subsistence level, with each family owning one or two horses, a cow or steer, eight or ten chickens and perhaps a pig. Money when there is any, comes from outside work. This is the dam in the Pecos where the main ditch or "madre acequia" takes off from the river. No one knows how long this irrigation system was set up. Some think that it was first built by the Indians who lived in the valley long before El Cerrito existed. The dam and ditch are the basis and heart of agriculture here. Without them there could be no crop. The dam itself is an imper (English)
