PECOS VALLEY BEET SUGAR FACTORY, NEW MEXICO. 
The length of the main building is 150 ft, east ell 30 ft, west ell 33 ft, boiler house 48 ft in length. It has a capacity of 250 
tons of beets per day. The buildings are so constructed that the capacity can be greatly enlarged when desired. Most of the 
land is entirely new, bearing its first crop last year. The farmers were also entirely unacquainted with the culture of the beet 
root, but the results obtained are more than gratifying. Experiments made during the two years previous gave most astonish- 
ing results, the crop (all under irrigation) yielding from 12 to 31 tons per acre, with a sugar content of 14 to 21 per cent. This 
year it is believed that not less than 3000 acres will be grown for this factory.
