PERSHING ASKS
RAILSUPPLIES
U. S. Army Pushed to Keep
In Contact With Re-
tiring Huns.

The hasty German Estreat across
Belgium is putting a heavy burden on
America TO keep Gen. Pershing's COM
munications open. Each mile the
American army advances from its
base means more motor equipment,
more rails, more locomotives.
Cables from the American COM
mander emphasize the situation. He
has demanded many thousand addi-
uonal motor trucks and 1,5O0 additional
locomotives. The quartermaster gem
erals office is speeding the shipment
Of motors, and the railroad admins
tration is cooperating with it in OBJ
tanning the locomotives.
We need them badly here says
Director General McAdOO, but Perish
ing needs them worse. and we'll see
that he gets all he asks for"
Locomotives are now shipped to Eu-
rope assembled and all ready to steam
on from the docks in France as they
arrive. They occupy more space in
the ships this way. but make up
somewhat for this handicap in speed
on arrival They are packed about
with hay. which is being shipped for
use as fodder.
steel Rails Rushed.
Demands for steel rails are also be-
ing met with hurry-up speed. The Ger.
mans are destroying the railroad lines
as they withdraw and are taking the
rails and everything of steel constrUc-
tion with them into Germany. Orders
have been given the rail mills for
quick delivery. and the railroad ad-
ministration is giving the cars loaded
with rails from these mills preference
to tidewater.
Pershing has also called for a vastly
larger equipment of horses. Some Of
these are being used for transport
work in the quartermaster's depart
ment but many are to remount regi-
ments that have been operating at the
front as infantry. Thirty thousand
horses a month is the present PERISH
ing program.
With the motors. locomotives and
horses he has requisitioned he feels
that the American army can keep
close to the ranks of the fleeing Ger
mans and continue its wearing down
their strength by constant attack

Growing Of Beets
Will Benefit Land
Prepares Soil for Rotating Of Crops
Opposition OF Other interests
Is Detrimental to Farmers Them
selves.

The recent agitation in regard to
prices received by the growers of su
gar beets has a much deeper signifi-
cance than appears on the surface.
First-The foreign usgar cane in
terests-representin our imports
are bitterly opposed to the domestic
sugar beet industry and will spare
no effort nor expense to prevent what
is being done.
Second-Our American farmers do
not realize that the sugar beet is the
greatest factor in the agricultural
creasing the fertility that even IL
they brought in no revenue it would
still pay to grow beets.
Third-That of the seven princi-
pal farm crops, namely, corn. wheat,
barley, hay, cotton, oats and beets,
that sugar beets paid more than any
other one per acre, and nearly as
much as the two lightest-corn and
cotton-clearly demonstrating that
sugar beets were a paying crop in
1917, even when all the other sta
pies were increased in price nearly
100 per cent, while sugar was normal
and the yield low.
| To pay for the cane sugar we i'm
ported in 1917 at the present price
would require the stupendous sum of
$453 ,407,S95.
| This is nearly one-half our agri-
cultural exports to European coun-
tries for the ten months in 1917. In
other words, it took all the wheat
fall the corn, barley, horses and mules
to pay for our sugar.

AGENT FOR oTERo

Otero county is to have an agri-

most commendable one. Ralph
Swink, one of the best young farmers
in that county and a graduate of the
State Agricultural college, will
probably be the man selected as
agent. Crowley county needs just
such a man. The benefits to be de-
rived from the cooperation will more
than repay the cost of maintaining
