The American Beet Sugar Com
pany VIII Probably Erect
Factory In Northern
New Mexico.
OFFICERS ARE WELL PLEASED
Thousands of Acres of Land
May be Purchased in the
Watrous Valley.

The preliminary Investigations, what
preliminary sIvestigations of what
may terminate in the establishment
of a good-sized enterprise in northern
New Mexico inthe way of a big beet
sugar factory seems to be progressing
to the satisfaction of the promoters,
none other than the American Beet
Sugar Co., one of the larges. Of it's
kind in the world, C. which Henry T..
Oxnard is the president ani J. G.
Hamiltoa. vice president. and which
has large factories in California, at
Chino and Oxnard, and in Nebraska
Mr.. Hamilton came down from the
north yesterday in the private car and
in company with James A. Davis, the
head of the industrial department of
the Santa Fe road, as for as Watrous
from which point Mr.. Hamilton will
continue to look up in detail the ad-
vantages afforded in northern New
Mexico for raising sugar beets and the
opportunities for acquiring sufficient
land with the necessary water right,
for the purpose the company mas in
view.e
Mr.. Hamilton is very favora-
bly, impressed with the advantages
afforded in several places for the es-
tablishment of a factory and the
growing of beets in this section.
That the climate, soil and sunshine
of northernNew Mexico are particular
ly adapted for the raising of sugar
beets has been demonstrated beyond
question by experimentation on
large scale. The fall rains in other
beet raising sections, such as Nebras-
ka,, are detrimental in the raising of
beets by reason of their occurring at
time when the beet should be ma
turing and causes it to start to grow
ing again, thus taking from the beet
its sugar qualities which go to the
tops. The fall season in New Mexico
is most nrnritious III Jnis respect, be
ing practically free from rain and this
is the reason why the northern New
Mexico grown beet contains sugar
producing qualities unexcelled by
any section of the United States.
The company, it is said, desires to
purchase sufficient land to grow its
own beets and thus be assured of all
the raw material necessary to supply
the factory, and avoid the hazard and
uncertainty involved in depending on
individual farmers for their supply.
The amount of land necessary for
the purpose, that can be placed under
irrigation will run up into thousands
of acres and may be obtained either
on Maxwell grant or in Watrous valley
twenty-five miles from Las Vegas,
where there are number of ranches,
with plenty of water.
Last summer Mr.. Oxnard and an
other official of the company went
over the ground, with view to find.
ing the right location with the ne.
cessary conditions for the purpose in
view, and the visit of Mr.. Hamilton at
this time emphasizes the interest the
big sugar company is taking in the
matter.
People here feel very jubilant over
the fact that Mr.. Hamilton is favora-
bly, impressed thus far, with the pros
poets and anxiously await the final
consumation of the deal.

ORMER ESTIMATES PROVE FAR TOO SMALL

DES MONIES, Nov. 11.-(Special Tele-
gram. .)-Ten days more Of fair weather will
see the magnificent corn crop of Iowa for
the year of 1899 stored away in the cribs
John R. Sage of Des Moines, director Of the
Iowa Weather and Crop service today said
that the Chicago estimate of the Iowa crop
missed it by 75,OO0,O00 bushels. Speaking
Of the varying estimates DR.. Sage said to-
day:
II believe that Iowa's corn crop will
amount to 300, 900, 900 bushels this year. In
our department we have estimated that there
will be $780, 900 acres in corn and the
average yield will be 355 bushels. In sup
port of my figures l have the statement Of
B. W. Snow, who is acknowledged to be the
best crop statistician outside of the Weather
bureau in the United States. He has pre-
pared table Of the comparative corn crops
for the year in all the corn states of the
union. His estimate Of the average yield
in Iowa is the same as mine, 35.5 bushels.
He places the acreage a little higher THAI
We have done, and his estimated total yield
is consequently about 100000 bushels
greater than ours. In his table Iowa stands
way ahead of all other states in its totals.
One or two other states go little higher
on the average, but the totals in these
states are far below Iowa. Illinois comes
second, but her total yield Is about 33,000,-
900 less than ours.
The four biggest states with Shows aver
age the totals are as follows: Iowa, 3O5,-
