mental purposes. Between 300 and 400
tons of beet ought to be harvested from
this planting, il conditions are propitious.
Great interest attaches to this experiment.
and it is believed, it will turn out success
fully. If it does, there is no question but
that next year money can be obtained
for the erection of beet sugar fac

ex experiment. to be initiated by Mr.. Helm,
several farmers in the Espsnola valley
and in the vicinity Of Santa Fe will plant
sugar beet seed as trial. This season
Captain s. H. Day will plant about ten
acres of the fine farm of the Water &
Improvement company, about a mile
from this city, in sugar beets, and exp cots
to do we'll. With beet sugar factory at
Espanola and wooden mill here, this
town would be prosperous and growing.
