THE EVOLUTION OF
THE SUGAR BEET

According to information pub
lished in Sugar Beets and Beet
Sugar" by DR.. Jodidi, 162 years
ago there was nothing known of
the sugar contained in the beet.
while in the intervening time there
have been erected and operated
400 beet sugar factories in the
world, less than seventy of which
are located in the United States,
and the greatest portion of this
wonderful growth has taken plac
during the last half of the period
from 1747 to the present time,
that being the date on which a
German chemist made the discov-
cry of sugar in the beet.
Two decades ago there was moth
ing, practically, of a beet sugar
industry in the United States.
Now beets are grown on 100000
acres, with total output of ap-
proximately 42l, 900 tons of SUI
gar annually in this country. The
beet sugar factories of the world
produce about 100000 tons of
sugar annually. When the term
produce" is used, it is used in a
theoretical sense, as the sugar
is really produced in the field by
the farmer, and extracted and
prepared for domestic use by the
manufacturer.
In the Arkansas valley of Colo
rado the extent and worth of the
heet sugar industry has been de-
cidedly felt. Eleven years ago
there was not a beet sugar fac
tory there; now there are six.
All portions of the United States
cannot point to such a develop
ment, as the six represent about
one-half of the factories of the
country. Colorado has nine in
addition to the valley factories,
making about 25 per cent of the
beet sugar factories of the coun-
try.
The agricultural advance of Col
orado has had a backing. There
has been some reason for the ad
vance and it is significant that
with the erecting and operating
of beet sugar factories in sec
tions of the state prosperity and
a general advance has been felt
Such is decidedly true of the
Arkansas valley and the de-
velopment of the valley can be
traced to. the development of the
sugar industry there.
Taking the value of the state s
agricultural products for the year

And when you get this water-right 1t IS
right in the full sense Of the word. You are alb
solutely master of it. You can irrgate your
crops whenever they need it. Your turn is all
the time. Now with ten acres of AIimbres valley
land and pumping plant, you are your own
master. You don have to put up with grouchy
employer, you are not harrassed with inefficient
help, you view with unconcern the cost Of living
soaring upward, because you can produce most
of the necessaries Of life, and cut out the middle
man and transportation companies. Why live in
a city and work for the rest of your days for your
grocer, the railroads and express, the landlord,
and all the rest of the horde who tax you at will
Why not get back to the land and produce the
necessaries Of life yourself and do little taxing
on your own account.
Besides, with the ownership of land you ac-
quire something that is bound to enhance in
value /. e., if you buy in the Mimbres Valley
where prices are down to bedrock. This state
ment is capable of absolute proof. Free land is
practically thing Of the past; but the popula-
ton Of the United States is continually on the IN
crease Man is a land animal He has to have
land to live. Put the two ideas together. In
crease Of population makes greater demand for
land; the supply of land is fixed and limited
hence, land capable Of supporting human life
must advance in price. Your children at ma
t1rity viii probably appreciate this point much
more keenly than you do unless you provide
them with some land. For illustration, look at
land conditions in England. You can t buy land
there unless you're millionaire. It's not so
much question of productveness there; it's
question Of standing room. The same condition
is rapidly coming about in the United States.
Do you remember the time twenty years ago
when land in the black land belt, Of Texas sold
for 50 per acre? Some Of that land cannot be
bought now for 5000 per acre. It didn't seem
then that.aI that space could ever be populated
The same condition obtained fifty years ago in
some of the western Mississippi valley states
As the population flows in, land prices go up. It

has been SO since the foundation of,this republic
and long before. Now the point is to get in ahead
of the rise
This is the opportunity that is now offered
in the AlimbresV Valley It is a fertile, abundant
" watered region, with perfect climate, and
accessible to enormous markets. It is just start
ing upon an era Of unprecedented growth It's
discovery as an agricultural region is recent
Now is the time to get in on the ground floor and
get the benefit of the steady rise in the price Of
land. Now is the time to quit working for some
one else and go to working for yourself Now is
the time to invest money you have laid by in land
that will double and treble in value within the
next few years. Now is the time to get a ten
acre home, before prices get out Of your reach.
To acquire cheap land in many places means
putting up with the hardships Of frontier life
La the Mimbres Valley it is different. De1ning
is comparatively an old town. Its schools equal
those of towns of its size in any state in the union
The valley is criss-crossed with railroads. Rural
telephones are being stretched from farm to
farm. Bad roads are an exception. In short
nearly all the conveniences Of farm life anywhere
are available in the Mimbres Valley.
The wide diversity Of crops that can be raised
makes farming particularly attractive in this re-
zion. All kinds Of deciduous fruits produce in
abundance: apples, pears, nectarnes, ounce,
grapes. peaches, and the rest. It is an ideal gar
dening section. Nimbres Valley garden-truek
is branded fancy" in every market. Alfalfa
and beans are the staple farm crops netting
from $50 to $75 per acre per year. In short, if
man doesn t make good in the Mimbres Valley,
there's something the matter with the man.

The smelter smoke proposition has
doomed up as a cloud over the Mason
Valley; and the Pacific Livestock
company, otherwise known as Miller
& Lux, has asked for an Injunction
against the Mason Valley Mines COM
pany, restraining them from using a
shelter for the reduction of ores.
Pending the injunction proceedings
the cattle men ask for a temporary
restraining order.
The complaint sets up the owner
ship of 10000 acres of land in the
valley, and that the defendant
threatens to erect a smelter for the
treatment of ores, the fumes from
which, il is alleged will be very

plaintiffs in the neighborhood of
$500, 900.
S. W. Bedford Is attorney for the

men. and that they never could
secure an injunction.

FIRST TIME SHE SAW
LATE ABRAHAM LINCOLN
TOUCHING BIT OF SENTIMENT
RECALLED BY RECENT DEATH
OF MAJOR GEORGE. Il. PICKETT

The recent death of Major George
+. Pickett. son of the great Confed-
crate soldier of that name, who led
the famous charge at Gettysburg. re-
calls a story told by the widow of
General Pickett and mother of Major
Pickett, of her first and only meet
ing with Abraham Lincoln. 1t was
the day following the abandonment
of Richmond by the Confederates,
and when the Union troops were in
possession of the city. Mrs. Pickett
was alone with her baby boy. her
husband making the final stand with
Lee and his ragged and hungry vet
Grams. Ii may be needless to say that
the wife of the absent general was In
no friendly frame of mind toward the
conquerors and her irritation was
increased by seeing a body of negro
cayalrymen sweeping past her house.

Pickett severely, 'he is on duty with
the army" George has been a bad
boy" continued the visitor stretching
out his long arms and taking the
baby. which seemed to like him at
sight, and cooed with pleasure in his
embrace. Mrs. Pickett, still angry
could only utter Sir" George
has been a bad boy" added the call
er, giving the baby a toss or two. to
its great delight. and seeming not to
notice Mrs. Pickett's resentment. He
was the nephew of a dear friend of
mine, and | had him appointed to
West Point. but he has been a bad
boy" After a pause. while Mrs.
Pickett listened speechless. the WISH
tor went on. But you can tell him
when he gets back to come and see
me in Washington, and | will take

identity.

answer.

CASEY TO HANG AUGUST 10.
Pardon Board Refuses 10 Interfere
in Behalf of Murderer.

A special from Carson City says
that Patrick Casey, the Goldfeld
murderer, must pay the penalty for
his crime on the gallows at the state
prison on August 10th. The state
board of pardons refused TO grant
the murderer clemency after listening
to two eloquent pleas in his behalf
one by NJ. A. Diskin. his attorney,
and the other by John Kontz, dis
trict attorney OF Esmeralda county.
II was rumored ina Judge Peter j.
Somers was to address the pardon
board in Casey's behalf, but he fail
ed to appear.
The supreme court denied the APP
plieation made by Casey's attorney
for a rehearing on the order denying
a new trial.
The murder for which Casey will
hang was committed at Goldfeld
about two years ago. Casey stabbed
a named Mrs. Heslip. He
was tried. convicted and sentenced to
death. He appealed for a new trial
and the supreme court recently de-
MED the appeal.
At casey's request Judge Somers
sentenced him TO hang on the second
anniversary of his crime.
