EETS FROM
PLAINS LAND
Plan Suggested (or Proposed
Prize Contest Excludes
Irrigated Land
(From Friday's Daily.)
By the agricultural committee con-
sisting of Dr. J.' W. Cartwrlght F.
VV Zimmerman and J. M. Neely of
tho Amarlllo Chamber of Commerce
tbe following plan has been pre-
pared and presented for the proponed
sugar beet contest for Panhandle
farmers this year. This plan has not
yet been definitely considered by the
Chamber of Commerce 1tit it Indi-
cates roughly tho conditions with
which panhandlp rarmors will be ex-
pected to comply and It Is for that
reason of Immed.nte Interest. Tbe
report Is as follows:
Need Must Be the Snme.
"We snbmlt th0 following rules
to guide tho farmers In the Pan-
handle who propone to plant sugar
beeta and contest for the prizes to
be offered by you for the A'at cre
of sugar beets grown on the plains
this year 1908.
"First Beets to compete for the
prl.e must be grown from seed pro-
cured of the Amarlllo Chamber of
Commerce.
"Second Purtles desiring to enter
this contest must notify the Ama-
rlllo Chamber of Commerce not later
thon May l
Indicate Motlr- of Cultivation.
"Third It 1h recommended that
the beets be planted In rows not
farther than twenty Inches apart and
thinned In the row to six" Inches
apart thinning should be done when
the beet shows from three to four
leaves. Plow the ground from ton
to fourteen Inches and deeper if pos-
sible. Work the ground thoroughly
until It is In fine condition before
planting. Plant the seed from one
and one-half to two Inches deep. Be-
gin hoeing the beets as soon as they
get up well as this early cultivation
Is the most Important ever done.
Never cultivate deep but keep the
surface crust thoroughly 'broken.
"Fourth Tho Amarlllo Chamber
Chamber of Commerce will send an
agent who with the assistance of
neighborhood farmers Is to pull up
and weigh two averagp square rod
out of each acre of beets entered In
this contest to determine the weight
of the crop produced this report to
be signed by tho agent find witnessed
by the grower and two other wit-
nesses. Bar Oni Irrigated Product.
"Fifth Beets entered for this
contest are not to bc irrigated or
grown on sub-irlgated land. The
prizes are to be given for crops
grown on plains land.
"Sixth Each farmer entering
this contest must exhibit not less
than twelve beets at the Panhandle
Fair to be held In Amarlllo In the
fall of 190S."
Urge Use of Imported Seed.
The provision .In this plan which
requires the farmers who compete
to have purchased their seed from
that ordored by menvbers of the
Chamber of Commerce here may not
bo finally tidopted but the matter
of seed la one of the most Important
points about the crop and (he seed
which will be placed on sale here
will bo of the very highest Biigar
producing standard. It has been
found by the sugar factories that
although boots produced In this
country can b0 made to yield a high
percentage of sugar seed f.'om stock
grown in this country produces beets
which show a falling off In tbe
amount of sugar. For that reason
the big sugar producing companies
raqulr0 tho farmers around tholr fac-
tories to purchase soed" Imported by
the factory companies. 'This seed Is
fold to the farmers practically at cost
so the advantage to the farmers and
to factory Is mutual. For llkp rea-
sons it has tieen thought best to get
the farmers- here to plant Imported
seed because the amount of sugar
wheh the beet from their crops
as any that can be obtained In the
PanTiandle.

Snntii Fe MngaJiie Chronicles Open-
ing of service Over Cufoff.
The Santa Fe Employes' Magazine
for February prints three interesting
half toncB of scenes on the Belen
cut-off a few miles west of Texico
during the December snow. The ar-
ticle which' Hcooiripanies the' pictures
records the opening of the line to
regular nervlce and states A few
facts obout the cut-off a8 jfollows:
"On Ducember IS 1007 Tegular
train service was established0 on the
Hustern Railway of New Mexico
practically bringing to a close the
long tedious construction work of
nemiy four years. Much has been
written during this time concerning
th0 new road and articles to the ef-
fect that it was ballasted with gold
an( that the Santa Fe was spending
millions to save a mile appeared from
time to time with moro or less cor-
rectness. The Belen cut-orf gives
us two routes to the eoant. There
Is but little difference In their mile-
age and although It ha8 been gener-
ally understood that the new lino is
shorter the two lines are nbont equal
In length. The Belen line however
Is much better for- freight service
as It takes away the heavy traffic
from the old route which has to cross
the Raton and Glorleta mottntain
ranges. As these two rangea aver-
age In height about 7.500 feet the
cost or transportation will b0 Kreat-
ly reduced.
"When It was first proponed to
build this road the name Abo Pass
Line was applied to It on account
of the fact that j; traversed the Abo
Pass. Later it. wor ca)!(d the Belen
cut-off but it was Incorporated ns
tbe Eastern Railway of New Mex-
ico." SET APART NEW

Hughes Suit Decided at Canyon for
iH-lYnihint.
(From Saturday's Dally.)
in the cane of J. E. Hughes against
W. M. Burweli Involving about $3-
000 which has been on trial in tho
district court at Canyon this week
the Jury yesterday returned a ver-
dict In favor of the defendant.
Tbe suit grows out of the uuspen-
slon several years aico of J. B.
Hughes from bls office as sheriff of
Potter county on account of charges
brought by vatiou9 citizens. W. M.
Burweli was appointed sheriff in
Hughes' place and acted In that ca-
pacity for about a year while the
rhurges were being tried. None of
tho charges were made to stand In
court and Hughes was returned to
his office. He afterward brought
suit against Burweli to recover the
fees of the office during that time.
The case haH been hanging on for
several years and was removed to
Canyon on oliange of vcnu0 from this
county.
Judge S. P. Huff of Vernon ha
presided as the trial .because Judg
BrowninK was disqualified. Rceder
and Cooper represented the defend-
ant an Veale Crudglngton and Ha-
zel wood and A. S. Uollina were at-
torneys for tho plaintiff.
Texas Quick to Seize.
It would be a revelation to some
of the dwellers In the Ohio valley
Indiana and staid old Pennsylvania
to see the rapidity and determination
wltn "Which Texas people seize valu-
able opportunities after they have
been Intelligently presented.
Texaa development has been tre
mendously rapid in the past and its
speed promises to be accelerated
rather than decrcnyetl during the
future because of thls very tendency.
Does one pioneer West Texas city
organize a commercial club?
Straightway twenty-flve others fol-
low in its footsteps.
Does a farmer in one county make
money raising peanuts? Next sea-
son a score of countiog go In for
goobers and raise them successfully.
Does a Panhandle farmer who has
moi'o land tnan ho knows what to do
with try some plains land in alfalfa
and find that It grows? Next year
the dull gray of the mesqulte grass
gives place to vivid green In little
dotted fields through all the sur
rounding country.
Fort Worth has an example very
close to home. It kpciiu only a few
weeks ago since nn effort was made
In Arlington to organize a commer-
cial club. It Is still lesg time since
the o.lub was organized furnished its
rooms and dedicated them. At the
dedication there was some little talk
about Arlington's opportunities as a
truck growing center midway 'be-
tween Fort Worth and Dallas wher0
It has a double market. Something
waa also said at the meeting about
a canning factory which would use
up surplus labors of boys and Rli'ls
In the summer time and also take
care of unsold vegetables and fruits.
Sunday morning's Telegram told
how a meeting of farmers and com-
mercial club members wn8 bold Sat-
urday evening. An organlzaton was
effected. A proposition to build a
canning factory was presented and
enough subscribed Block to Insure the
project's success. At the next meet-
8 llHt of acreages guaranteed will
be presented and It will be shown
that farmers around Arlington who
live on some of the richest soil Tex-
as sunshine ever made blossom will
start 1908 with an impetus for truck
growing such as was never recorded
In Tarrant county before.
- One good point about the new
canning factory Is the plan to have It
owned exclusively by the people of
Arlington and the surrounding conn-
try. That is home industry of the
beet type
Arlington Is to be congratulated
for having a commercial club that
can do things but after all it isn't
the commercial club It's the people.

ASKS VITAL
STATISTICS
State Health Officer Emphasizes
ance ot Report!
Local Doctors
(From Saturday's Dally.)
Dr. W. M. Brumby ntato health
officers ling Juat acntout to tho phy-
sicians of tho stale a letter urging
prompt and accurate reports of all
births and deaths. These reports
should b0 tnnde out by the attending
physician and should be filed with
the county clerk who will report to
the state department of public 'health
and vital statistics. Kach month the
county physician sends In a report
of the general conditions In the coun
ty und may also send in such other
special reports as tho situation sug-
gests or as the slute officer requires.
The law requiring tho reporting of
all deaths and births has been on the
statutes for several yeurs but In
many parts of the state It has .been
carelessly observed. Dr. Bnimby Is
taking steps to correct this and
hereafter vital statistics will be muc.h
more accurate than they havP been
before this. Dr. Brumby says in his
letter to the physicians here;
Iteport WHhln :tO Days.
The purposo of thls letter is to call
your attention to the law enacted by
the Twenty-seventh legislature re-
quiring physicians to make reports
of all births and deaths of which
they are cognizant to the county
clerk within thirty days after its oc-
currence under a penalty for failure
to do so of five dollar for each birth
and of not lew than five or more
than fifty dollar for eueh death.
It Is not my purpose to antagonize
the members of thP profession but
your duty in this matter is very
clear and If you do not realize It It
will bft necessary for mo to place tho
matter in the hands of the county
attorney. "A hint to th wise lK suf-
ficient." County Wctt'llM lllsnfc.
I have had blnnk certificates of
births and deaths 'printed at the
state's expense and they are now in
the hands of the county clerks and
can bc obtained by the phjsldans
without cost. Tthey are 'here for
your Hue and there is absolutely no
excuse for non-compliance with this
law. There has been a steady in-
crease in the number of physicians
that are reporting but partial re-
port are far from satisfactory and
I intend to see that tho recalcitrant
brother Is prosecuted for non-compll.
