New Mexico

The Land of Enchantment

New Mexico joined the union in 1912 as the 47th state.  The capital is Santa Fe.
It is bordered by Arizona, Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado and Utah.

The largest cities are Albuquerque, Las Cruces, Santa Fe, Rio Rancho and Roswell.

New Mexico's agriculture includes cattle, chilies, hay and dairy products.  Its industry includes petroleum and coal products, printing and publishing, stone, glass and clay products and tourism.

New Mexico's symbols are:
            Flower is the yucca (its leaves can make rope, baskets and sandals)
            Tree is the pinon pine
            Animal is the black bear
            Bird is the roadrunner
Fish is the cutthroat trout
Vegetable is the chili and the frijoli (bean)
Gem is the turquoise
Insect is the tarantula hawk
Question is "red or green?" referring to the two types of chilies.
