Beet sugar Va Sugar Beet.

Mr.. EDIToR:-The manufacture of beet
sugar OF course depends upon the production
of sugar beet Mr.. Gennert knows very we'll
that if he can have plenty of sugar beets he
can make plenty of beet sugar. He is 40
doubt in earnest and if he has capital enough
of his own, or can induce Capitalists to unite
with him and can answer the question twill it
pay satisfactorily, he will engage in the
enterprise know nothing of the process or
cost of manufacturing beet sugar or of any
other sugar and therefore cannot compare the
cost with the value of the production. Nor is
1t necessary for me to do SO. l am not going
into the business with Mr.. Gennert as manu.
facturer, | have no capital to loan him or to
buy corporation stock with, so that l am not
particularly interested in the enterprise, ex-
cept for its success. l hope it will be tried. 1
sincerely hope it will be success and that
those who engage in 1t Will reap abundant
reward.
But there is another class of people to
which L belong who are asking themselves the
same question "will it pay?" This class of
people own all Of the broad acres of the State.
They have strong arms and willing hands and
are impatiently waiting, whip and goad stick
in hand, to start the plough to break the rich
soil upon which to raise the beets, whenever
that all important question is satisfactorily
answered. Ii has been observed by some
engaged in the corn packing business that their
greatest difficulty vas to induce the farmers to
raise corn, and that the same difficulty might
arise in reference to the beet. 1 cannot dis
pute the statement, 1 do not wish to; but do
know there has been an immense amount of
packing corn raised in this state. and that both
the packer and producer have been benefited
thereby, and the business is still one of the
thriving industries of the state. 1 think the
success of the corn packing or canning bust
ness is one of the strongest arguments which
can be made in favor of the beet sugar bust
ness, but it cannot be expected of us to aban-
don the corn for the beet unless it will pay
better. We do not expect to get rich out of it
but we look at our own interest. We can and
will raise the beet, but you must pay US as
much at least as we can realize from any other
crop on the same quantity of land and same
amount of labor. Make a good profit for
yourselves but leave margin for your helper.

A FALSE SToRY.-The Boston papers of
yesterday contained rumors to the effect that
several persons of distinction were about to
join the church of Rome. The story arose
from statement made by Father Fultonlat one
of the mission services at the Immaculate Con-
ception that conversion to the faith had taken
place that would startle the country. The gov
ernor Of one of the New England states, the
ex-governor of another and president of col
lege, prominent Episcopal clergyman of Bos.
ton and well-known poet were all mentioned
as the person. 1t is hardly necessary to say
that the ex-governor and president referred to
was Governor Chamberlain of this state. One
paper mentioned him by name. A despatch
from Brunswick gives an unqualified denial of
the story as far as it concerns Governor Cham
berlain, and says it is sheer fabrication.
