The CATTLE SYNDICATE.
The Littlefeld Cattle Company Draws Out
of the Deal.

AS an evidence that the eastern syn
dictate is still at work in the formation
of a gigantic cattle combine, many of
the options on cattle and ranch property
which expired on July 1 have been re-
newed. George w. Littlefield, who is
one Of the most extensive stockmen in
the southwest, states that the syndi-
cate had an option on $1,000 head of cat
tie and a large ranch, property owned
by him in southeast New Mexico, the
agreed price to be paid for same being
ST. 5 900. This option expired on July
1, and George D. Loving, the represent
alive of the syndicate, has endeavored
to secure it's renewal, but Mr.. Littlefield
has declined to renew, On the ground
that in the original option he placed the
valuation of his cattle at too low a fig
ure. Mr.. Littlefield states that options
aggregating 1923, 900, 900 have been re-
newed on cattle and ranch property in
Texas and the section of New Mexico
where his ranch is located.

San MIGUEL MESSENGER SUIT.
Court in Santa Fe Has No Jurisdiction
Action TO Be Brought in San Miguel.

In the case of the Territory of New
Mexico VS.. Henry G. Coors ct al, county
commissioners of San Miguel county,
for payment of a special messenger who
brought the returns of the last general
election to the secretary of h territory,
Judge McFie decided to-day that there
is no jurisdiction in the Santa Fe court
over the case, and that the county COM
missioners of San Miguel county cannot
be held responsible for messenger fees
miles they have been guilty of negli-
gence in the discharge of their duties as
county commissioners. To establish the
negligence of the county commissioners
suit must be brought in the county
where the negligence occurred, and
must be brought by the district attor-
ney of that county in the name of the
county. Hence the district court of
Santa Fe county has no jurisdiction In
this suit, and the motion of the defend
ants to dismiss the suit for want of jur-
isdiction is sustained.
Another suit will be brought in San
Miguel county to recover the expense of
sending a special messenger to San Mi
guel county to secure the election re-
turns. The law provides that the county
commissioners must IVA the re-
turns OF the general election. and with
in a certain number Of days return to
the secretary of the territory by mes
senger the result of such ava If
the commissioners neglect to send such
a messenger within the prescribed time
the law provides that, the secretary
shall appoint a messenger to bring the
returns from the county to the secre-
tary, and if the county commissioners
fail to send a messenger out of negli-
gence they shall pay for the messenger
sent by the territorial secretary.

THE BARTLETT PEAR.
1t Is the Most Reliable and Profitable Fruit
for New Mexico.

Hon. e. f. Hobart, receiver of the fed
eral land office, who is an authority on
agriculture and horticulture, and who
owns one of the finest farms in the up
per Rio Grande valley, says that the,
fruits best adapted to the climate and
soil of northern New Mexico are pears
and plums. They are generally exempt
from damage by frost, and in quantity
and quality exceed the crop of any other
fruit raised here.
The same can be said of southern
New Mexico, especially of the Rio
Grande valley. The crop of Bartlett
pears in the valley near Ell Paso
amounts to about $4,000 pounds this
year, and has all been bought on the
tree by one dealer at $26 a on. New
Mexico is the natural home of the Bart
lett pear, and those grown here are very
finely favored, and a great deal better
than any grown in California. Bartlett
pears are a staple in the fruit line, as
bacon is in the grocery line, and the
people of New Mexico are making a big
HllSldhG II v Wiz oPSSioi
to raising the fruit extensively. The
Bartlett commands a better price than
any other pear in the market. Every
person who once gets hold of a New
Mexico Bartlett pear wants more Of
them. At least 500 car loads could be
marketed this year.
Bartlett pears should be the cash crop
of the o%rchardists of the Rio Grande
| valley. One fruit raiser in the low
err valley, near Ell Paso, Mr.. Coffin,
has 2,400 trees IN twenty acres of land,
and when there is plenty of water the
twenty acres net him 1000 a year.
Experimenting with other kinds of
pears except the Bartlett is time and
money thrown away. The Bartlett is
the money-making pear for the Rio
| Grande valley. On the side farmers
| could grow enough alfalfa and grain to
pay current expenses, and their pear
| crop would he a clear profit. If the
fruit were grown in large quantities
buyers would come from all parts Of the
country to buy the crop on the trees,
as they generally prefer gathering and
packing the fruit themselves, so that
they are all packed alike and each case
weighs about the same.
On account of the scarcity of water
the Bartlett pear in the lower Rio
Grande valley is smaller than usual this
year. But it is large enough for dealers,
and is as sweet and luscious as it is pos
| sible for any fruit to be. The firm that
bought the output of the lower valley
this year has secured an expert pack
err from California to direct the work,
and has thirty-eight men packing. The
pears are shipped to eastern points, es-
pecially Chicago, where there is a great
demand for the New Mexico Bartlett.
With plenty of water the Rio Grande
valley would exceed California as a
pear producer.

SUGAR INTERESTS
The Governments Chief Expert Says
That the Sugar Beet Grows
Best in Old Soil.
BUT ALKALI DOES NOT HURT
Department Doing All It Gan to Encourage
Sugar Production in the United States
to Keep $l0O,ooo,ooo from Co.
ing to Europe.

c. b. Saylor, of the agricultural de-
partment of the government, is a spe-
cialist on sugar production, and visits
all sections of the country in h inter-
est of this industry. In a recent inter-
view Mr.. Saylor said:
I'm every state the department of ag-
riculture, under Secretary Wilson, has
an experimental station, usually con-
nected with the state agricultural COL
lege. Through these stations expert
ments of all kinds are reported to the
department. One of the most important
is that relating to beet sugar. When
it has been found that capital Is likely
to be interested in raising beets for this
purpose l am accustomed to visit the
field and do my part in working up the
industry.
Speaking generally, sugar beets
grow best in sandy loan. This state
ment obtains for the most in territory
where rains furnish the water. 1t is not
so necessary where irrigation is carried
on.
ga peculiar thing about the raising of
sugar beets in soil which contains alkali
is that not only does the alkali fail to
trouble the crop, but the beets seem to
have an important corrective bearing on
the ground, doing more than any other
crop, so far as we have learned, to take
the alkali out and render the soil the
| more productive. Beets do not grow
| we'll in too rich ground, but are cult
waited to best advantage either in soil
| which has been worked a long time, or
that which is semi-sterile by nature.
Secretary Wilson has a good idea in
relation to the sugar crop for this coun-
/ the high tariff, furnishes a good aver
/ age, when it brought into the country
for home consumption sugar to the
value of $1OO, 900, 900. This represents the
amount of sugar, more than is raised at
home, that the American people need. 1t
is Mr.. Wilson's plan to do all he can
toward making the home supply equal
to the home demand. The bulk of the
$100, 900, 900 represents beet sugar., i'm
ported from Europe. Only a COMPARE
lively small percentage of this came
from the canefields of the West Indies
and Hawaii.
II spent last winter, in my official ca
pacity, in Porto Rico and Cuba, and
next winter will go to the Hawaiian is
lands. OF course, the capacity for sugar
raising in Porto Rico, Cuba and Hawaii
is limited, and the three could never
send in more than about 20 per cent of
the amount needed by Us. But within
our own boundaries there is an unlimit-
ed capacity for the raising of sugar."
