New Mexico Beans

CO Beans is taken from Bulletin
No, 1O5 of March, 1917, by
Fabian Garcia, Director and
Horticulturalist.
"While beans have teen
grown in New Mexico for prob
ably the past three centuries,
not until the past few years has
much interest been taken in
this crop. The bean has been,
and is at the present time, one
of the most staple foods of the
native population. This crop is
getting to be an important one
in the irrigated as well as In the
farming communities. Ac-
cording to the United States
Census Report fer 1910, 5,147,-
$50 pounds of beans were rails
ed in New Mexico i'll 1909, valu
ed at 1892, 023. During the past
four years the output has been
very materially increased and
for 1916 New Mexico was re
ported rs fourth among the
states in the production of
beans. According to the Unit
ed States Department of Agri-
culture Crop Report for Deem
Der, 1916. New Mexico produc-
ed in 1914, Is, 800, 900 pounds,
valued at $6l5, OO0j in l945, aa,-
O8O,0O pounds valued at $685.
600, and in 1916, 22,5OO, 900
pounds, valued at 81, 4s8. 600.
From this it will be seen that
the increase in production, as
well as in value, of the New
Mexico bean crop, since 1910,
has been marked, About 80
per cent of the is of the New
Mexico Pinto variety.

The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1917-03-17

We are not very strong believer
in signs as many people are, that is
we don't take much stock in it being
sign of bad luck for a black cat to
cross ones path or for a dog to howl
at night and such superstitious rot.
But every once in while we do see
what we consider good signs when
we learn of the good results of con-
certed action on the part of colored
men. Among the most notable Incl
dents recently are the nomination of
Louis B. Anderson, Esq, for alderman
in Chicago, over four competitors, and
more recently the nomination of DR..
Sumner A. Furniss, for Councilman on
the Republican ticket in the fourth
district of Indianapolis, Ind. He had
seven white competitors and he polled
more than double the amount of votes
his highest competitor received. There
were seven Democratic candidates in
his district but he polled 1882 votes
while all seven of them only polled
1924. His seven Republican compel
itors received total of 14,547. If
DR.. Furniss holds his own on election
day his peace; calling and election
is sure" The same is true of Lawyer
Anderson, so we say these are hopeful
signs.

Jim-crow Camp Opposed.
(ChicagO Defender.)

In the east Major General Wood of
the United States army has started a
movement for separate military
training school at New York City.
Every man in the east should look
upon this with disfavor and oppose
it. There should be no segregation
in an army of the United States. If
there should be a military training it
should be one and all. The men of
the east who think, especially edi-
tors and writer's, SHOULD sound death
knen to this Jim Crow proposition.
1t will not be tolerated lin the west
and should not be in the east. In
other countries all men of all colors
and nationalities serve on the same
army and fight for the same flag be-
cause it does not segregate or dis
criminate. On the firing line we
should be as one. No longer members
of the race should be looked upon as
cooks, but as citizen soldiers, wear
ing the rank of equality, with no in
justice or discrimination heralded
against them. In case of war num-
Der of southern whites are getting it
in their breasts to lead our men to the
battlefield. In the past they have
shown that they have proven them
selves to be a lot of chain drivers
and we advise them not to let a
southern man command them. When
you join a voluntary army be led by
members OF your own race and not
southern officers Be led by men of
the north who treat you like humans,
and not southerners, who treat you
like slaves. =. ~

ment Of a Jim crow military training
school where cOlored men may (if they
will accept the situation) have an op-
portunity to prepare themselves to be-
come officers if this country is
plunged into war.
Mr.. J. E. Spingarn is Jew. His
people have suffered for hundreds of
years from the prosecutions of alleged
Christians. He is the last man on
earth who ought to advocate any COM
promise on the rights of any human
being. Mr.. Spingarn said in writing
about Dubois recently, ''unpurchasable
leaders do not sell their souls, neither
do they compromise the rights of their
people.
Splngarn the Jew, is classed as a
white man in the United States. There
is no Jewish problem here. Now that
he is out of Russia, from whence he
came, leaving the ghetto behind, he
is willing to put the colored man in
the ghetto here. What is the differ.
ence between the segregation in the
departments at Washington and segre.
cation in the training of colored Ameri,
cans, who are to fight for their coun.
try. What is the difference between
the separation of the soldiers of this
country and the Jim crow cars-the
only place on earth where such things
obtain.
Colored men who desire to prepare
to risk their lives in the defense Of
their native land should be treated
as all other American citizens are
treated and especially no colorec
Americans should be parties to any
plan to segregate themselves from the
other elements of our complex Ameri
can citizenship.

race hatred AMI antagonism in leaps
