SOMETHING NEW IN FINANCE
Incident That Proves That the South.
ern Negro Has a Good Head
for Business.

George M. Bailey, whose editorial
paragraphs in the Houston Post are
known all over the country, believes
that the southern negro has a good
head for business and finance.
"Rastus,' said Bailey, in unfolding
his claim, was an old darky who
worked two acres Of land on a big
plantation, and got his foodstuffs from
the big commissary which supplied
everything to the tenants. Rastus,
having poor land as his share, was
continually in debt, because he could
never raise enough cotton to pay off
his bill at the store. There came a
season, however, when cotton grew
and hourished on Rastus' acres. and
when the s%torekeeper measured up
the cotton he told Rastus:
"'You've got nine dollars coming to
you
"Look hyuh, white man! exclaimed
Rastus. Go back dar an look at dem
books agfn, You don owe me no nine
dollars
"The clerk compiled, and returned
with the statement that he had been
mistaken, and that Rastus still owed
the store nine dollars.
Now you talkin' sense, said Ras-
tus contentedly. Come on back hyuh
an give me a strip OBJ bacon
"You see" explained Bailey, that
old fellow knew that as long as he
kept in debt to the store they would
give him credit, and he was afraid
that if he ever got out of debt the
store might refuse MIN credit the next
time he asked for 1t. Hence his pleas
ure because Of his financial difficulty

Many viii be Compelled
To Become Ranchers

With the cost of living soaring
high into the higher register,
many will be compelled -no
forced-to take to the land as
means of livelihood. 1t might
become the condition that only
those with a little money will be
able to live in the cities. This
will put many on a pretty even
level. There will be less chart
ty, for the man will know-if
there is anything in him at all
that it has come to a sink or
swim pass. If the individual
is in anyway self respective, he
will have already made tracks
for that piece of land which is
expected to maintain him and
his till better times. There is a
great deaf in the slogan back
to the land Many do not rec
ognise how serious the situation
regarding the price, exacted for
necessaries. This hand to mouth
sort of existence is fast taking
hold Of the nerves of the more
deserving and making them old
before their time.
Being sensible, they will real
ize that bread earned directly by
their own efforts is better than
sweating for it in a place where
competition and only the more ra-
pacious and seemingly selfish
survive. These latter are often
made SO by the constant strug-
gle to maintain their own.
With this the situation, those
caring to maintain a footing and
not desiring to be driven to the
wall will take to the hoe and
spade, thereby maintaining not
only their selfrespect, but he
esteem of their fellows, for the
calling of the farmer should be
above all things the greatest of
avocations. The tiller of the
soil has made most things posi-
bic. Without the farmers aid
cities could not exist. The pro-
ducts of the farm sustains mil
lions wherever located, and, to
belittle the industry is to lessen
the possibilities OF success in
other callings.
OF course all have a right to
gather in towns and cities, bnt
many made the error Of giving
up the farm, since corporations
and companies do things agricul-
turally in a wholesale manner,
thus cutting out the small and
individual raneher, who was un-
able to compete with the larger
way of accomplishing results.
But the farmer need no long
err compete. His acres can be
depended upon to support him
and his family, and if all is per
formed with an eye single to
his own and families benefit he
can be assured Of sustenance as
long as able to do it successfully.

Portales needs this factory and
she is doing her best to get it as
the people recognize the fact
that it will be the biggest thing
in this section of the country,
because of the fact that the

Portales after Beet Sugar
Factory.

Factory.
Present indications show that
Portales is soon to have a million
and half dollar sugar beet fac
tory here in a short while. The
American Sugar Manufacturing
and Refining Company repre-
sentatves came in Tuesday
afternoon and spent Wednesday
looking over the land and select
ing a sight for the factory. The
American Sugar Manufacturing
and Refining Company's repre-
sentatives were men who hold
high Offices with the company,
Judge Quinton being secretary
and Treasurer Don A. Noun
Day. General manager and Mr.
Winterbother the soil expert.
Monday afternoon a rumor
was aAoat that Mr.. Mounday
was to return that evening but
it was not known at what time
he would arrive, neither was it
defnately known that he would
come at all as there has been so
much discussion of abeet factory
here that the people thought
that there would be no more of
the sugar beet propcsition until
after the free sugar bill before
the house has been definately
settled.
These gentlemen came to Por-
tales Monday with Mr.. w. F.
Faggard from Clovis and went
to the Travellers Inn. Then the
sugar beet men, with Mr.. Fag-
card went in an auto, out in the
country around Portales so that
the soil expert might see some
thing of the nature of the land
and also see if possible if a
location for the factory might be
found. The soil met with the
approval of the expert and it is
stated that a location has been
selected.
The sugar beet men left for
Washington, D, c., Wednesday
morning so that they might be
present when the sugar bill
comes before the senate. They
are very optomistic and feel sure
that the bill cannot pass both
houses; should it pass both of
the houses it is thought that the
president will veto the bill,
The American Sugar Manu-
featuring and Refining Company
have had an idea of putting in a
very large factory at Portales
for several years and several
times it seemed that the factory
would be built Immediately, but
for different reasons these plans
have failed in the past. Mr..
Faggard has been working for a
beet factory for a good while
with an untiring effort and
should the factory be secured
Mr.. Faggard's efforts will not
have been wasted. The Com
mercial club also has been in
terested in the sugar beet in
dustry and have shown by their
actions that they are very de-
sirous Of securing the factory.
This plant will cost ST, 800, Co
and will employ four hundred
men two hundred days in the
year at a salary of from 81 90 to
$500 per day. 1t insures the
farmer that his products will be
sold when gathering time comes
as he will have a contract with
the factory to take all of the
beets, at a stated price, that he
can raise on the number of acres
that he puts in beets. In other
localities an acre produces fit
cen tons of beets which nets the
farmer about S45.O 90 per acre.
Two men can work 80 acres of
beets.
