PINTO BEANS Are
WEALTH FACTORS IN
LINCOLN COUNTY
New Mexico is Gaining Ma
tion-Wide Reputation as
Producer of the Famous
Mexican Pinto Bean.
so CARS REQUIRED TO

New Mexico as a producer of
beans-New Mexico pinto beans,
is attracting attention thruout
this country. In this month s is
sue of THE Earth" the Santa
Fe railways official industrial
magazine, the bean industry Of
this state, including the enor-
nous 1916 production worth more
than 1000, coo, is the subject of
an illustrated, two-page article
written by II. b. Hening, pub
licity agent for the New Mexico
state land Office. Not only is the
production Of this crop big, but
its reputation for high food valu-
es and fine flavor assures larger
production, greater demand and
a continuance of good prices.
Buyers are no longer satisfied to
specify Mexican pinto beans but
demand, for quality, New Mexico
pinto beans, distinctly a native
production Of that state.
Sheep growers, becoming
wealthy with % cent wool, cat
tie growers who have never TAX
en- farming in New Mexico seri-
ously before, tilers of irrigated
lands with their high priced
crops, all have paused to take
their hats off to the farmers on
unirrigated land who emerged
from their bean fields, at the
end of 1916, with net profits av-
eraging $50 an acre" says the
article.
In New Mexico, bean grow
ing is not confined to any partic-
ular section but is found in great
er or less extent in every county
in the state.
While a few far-sighted irri-
cation farmers planted beans in
1916 and reaped enormous profits
the crop has been taken over as
the particular crop of the New
Mexico dry farmer. "
1T has been demonstrated
beyond doubt, says the article,
that the New Mexico pinto
bean, which constitutes 90 per
cent of the bean crop in the state
is the surest unirrigated crop
which New Mexico has at its
command. A considerable
portion OF the 1916 bean crop
moved TO Texas points. Some Of
il went 10 Colorado, but the bulk
of the crop was marketed thru
Kansas City where it was dis
tributed TO central and eastern
markets. Proper cultivation,
and an annual rainfall of Ia inch
es or more will produce a profit
able bean crop anywhere in New
Mexico. The Estancia val
ley in Torrance county, presents
typically favorable conditions
and the results there last year
illustrate fairly what may be ex-
pected in similar attitudes thru
out the state. A total of 32O
acres of beans were shipped out

of the Estancia valley in 1916,
averaging 40, 900 pounds to the
car"
1t took GO box cars to move the
last New Mexico bean crop. The
sales reported up to January 1st
totaled "a, 000, 600 pounds. The
writer produces figures Of actual
yields in 1916, to show the beans
can be made to yield as high as
/, 800 pounds to the acre in New
Mexico and already have an av-
erage yield of $3.50 pounds.
MANY farmers, he says, "are
extending their land holdings
with profits from their 1916 crop
and are planning to increase their
acreage this spring" This in
sures an increased acreage in
1917, in the state rs a whole. In
some dry farming districts, it is
pointed out, this has had the eff
feet of advancing land prices to
some extent.

intelligence affirm the other day that

feminist regime In the schools, Fred
erick II. Davenport writes In the Out

go so far. Some Of the most eager and
militant patriots know just now are

Under a genuine sort Of vocational

needs Of the nation men would by the
very force of circumstances again fill
very great number Of desirable
places of educational leadership. The
head of practically every township
school and experimental farm would
be man. And the unusual duties that
he would perform would necessitate
adequate payment In order to get the

SO In the schools of trade and in
