DEXTER TO HAVE THE
LARGEST ALFALFA MILL
IN THE UNITED STATES
COLORADO CORPORATION START
WORK ON BIG PLANT WHICH
WILL COST $4,000.

L2
Dexter, N. NJ, May l5.-Dexter is Il
have the largest, most modern and
up-to-date alfalfa milling plant in the
United States. Almost unheralded
and unannomced, the Western Alfal
ia Milling, Manufacturing and Elec,
trio company, a Colorado corporation,
has come into DexterN and started
work on a plant which, with its
grinding capacity, its hay sheds, ware
houses and other buildings, make il
the largest mill manufacturing alfalfa
meal exclusively in the country. The
cost will be $4,000.
The mill will have a capacity OF
fifteen tons of alfalfa per hour and
will grind either baled or loose hoy,
it being the intention of the owners
to grind all hay within hauling dis
lance in its loose state, and to grind
baled hay from nearby stations. It ia
estimated that the mill during a good
season will grind between twenty
five and thirty thousand tons. There
are only two other mills that approach
the Dexter mill in capacity; one in
Colorado, the other in Wyoming, and
these have hourly capacities Of ten
tons each.

Roswell, N. NJ, May Is. The citi

ried since the Roswell Battery Went
to the front, especially when it was
rumored that the local Mexicans (and
there are many strangers here) had
gone to the secondhand stores and
bought up all old weapons.
Talk of the organization of a home
guard is current. 1t win likely be or.
ganized, after the cadets at the New
Mexico Military Institute go to their
homes after commencement this
week.
Col. Wilson, superintendent of the
Institute, was asked to assist in the
organization of the home guard. At
the present time he di%scourages the
organization, saying there are enough
cadets of the school who understand
the use of the guns and are ready
and willing to assist should any
trouble start.
After the cadets go home, the Col.
is quoted as saying, he will Nbe glad
to loan the government guns at the
Institute to a home guard, and be per
sonally responsible for them. Not
only that, but if a home guard is or
ganized here he will be glad to give
his services, the schools, the guns
and the school training ground.

Record Acreage of
Beets on Maxwell
and French Tracts

Maxwell, N. NJ, May 15.-The acre.
age of sugar beets on both the French
and Maxwell tracts will be greater
this year than ever before. Several
new growers will be added to the
list this season, the of 9th
ers who have received big checks
from the Garden City Sugar and Land
company tempting them to enter the
sugar beet game.
1t has been the experience of all
districts where beets are grown that
the tonnage increases year by year
as the growers learn how to work
the crop. At Rocky Ford. Loveland.
Johnston, Greeley and other sugar
beet districts of Colorado, eight to
ten tons per acre was the average
when the farmers began, now the
same land produces from is to %
tons per- acre, and as much as 30
tons has been grown on a few select
ed acres
When the farmers of French and
Maxwell together grow 5000 or more
acres Of beets per year. a sugar fac
tory will be built in Colfax county.
When a factory is built, every acre
of land in this section will jump in
value, and bank accounts will take
the place Of debts.
Contracts have ALREADY been made
with the Taos Indians for men enough
to properly handle the crop, and the
men viii report for duty as sooh as
