company which will establish a fac
tory here provided at least 10000
acres will be planted I'm beets. AS a
preliminary step a number Of farmers
have agreed to plant as an experiment
five and ten acre patches Of beets dur
ing the coming season. An analysis
will be made and some idea obtained
as to the worth OF the beets in this
section of the country. il is thought
moreover, that this will be an excel

90 handle the beets preparatory 10
planting larger acreage. The first
year the bects will he used for stock

Some experiments have been made
with sugar beets here and a sufficient
amount has been grown TO demon
strate that the per cent Of saCCharine
obtained is very high on Pecos valley

The farmers i'm this section are
branching out more and more in live
stock and especially dairying and the
stock men are very anxious to have
the factory here because OF the value
of beet pulp as a feed for stock and
especially dairy cattle.
It is believed the whole plan will

LAWS FOR CHILDREN.

The New Mexico Federation Of
Womens clubs is TO be commended
for taking a stand In favor Of the
enactment Of legislation in this state
for the establishment OF special trib-
unals for the trial Of offcnses COM
mitted by children, and It is to be
hoped that the legislature to be
elected this fan will give the matter
their prompt and careful attention.
An awakened public conscience has
at last begun to realize that the old
method Of treating all vlolators OF
the penal code as criminals to be
dealt with alike IS nothing short of
| barborous-thata all OF u.s. and es-
pcCially children, are largely crca-
lures OF environment and subject TO
the influences by which we are
largely surrounded. and that the pre-
ycnuon OF crime is moro to be de-
sired than the punishment Of the
criminal

dering In the handling Of juvenile
offenders boy the police authorities
than IN anything connected with the
administration Of the laws Of the
land. Tho system In vogue FOR
many years i'm fact until within the
last few years has been responsible
