The New Time StansIa rel.

From the Colorado Springs Gazette.
The change of dividing the clock dial into
twenty four hour divisions and the United
States into four different time belts, with i'm
aginary lines running due north and south,
passed at the recent convention at Chicago,
90 into force on roads aggregating 5000
miles in length.
The new system will nccessitate the re-
numbering Of clock and watch dia4 and an
ovcrhauling of their works. At present the
hour hand reyolves around the face of the
dial twice in twenty four hours, but it will
have to revolve only once after this. To nc.
complish this new wheel and pinon will
have to be introduced in the works, which
will of course, give watchmakers considerable
new business.
Prominent railroad officials incline to the
belief that the opposition which will be man
ifested against the adoption of the new time
standard for running trains will not be as
strong as was first supposed. One class of
men in particular, the locomotive engineers,
is heartily in favor of the proposed change,
which will do away with the system of divid-
ing the day into twelve hours each, and in its
place add the hours after midnight to twelve,
so that what is now called the noon hour will
be termed "a o'clock.
The first time belt will embrace all that
part of the country lying between the Allan
tic ocean and the 10Th degree of longitude /;
the second between the 18th and the Doth !;
the third between the Goth and 105th degree,
which will take in all the Pacific coast roads.
Every fifteen degrees of longitude represents
a difference of an hour in time, 30 that the
time for each belt will be one hour slower
than that of the next belt to the eastward,
and one hour faster than the next belt to the
westward. By this plan it is urged that en-.
gineers with long runs will not have to cal
culate the difference between the time indica-
ted by their watches and the local time by
which other trains are run, as they now are
compelled to do. Furthermore, they will
thus be enabled to make sidings and cross.
ings with safety, for each will be about 700
miles in width, and for that entire distance
there will be one uniform time.

In Reply to Frank r. Ross.-

To the Editor of THE CHEF:
PAoNIA, December 10.-In your last issue
Frank r. Ross (whoever he may bc,) comes
to the front with his screed on the political
situation. Only one point of his article is
worthy of notice, and that is where he talks of
.tfanning into flame the smouldering embers
of sectional animosity." This cry Of section
al feeling between the two ends of the county
is the cry of the charletan and the dema-
gogue, and one which the right-minded peo-
pie of the North Fork take no stock in.
believe the majority of the people of the
North Fork are of a class in which common
sense predominates, and we repudiate ali
such sentiments as Frank Il. Ross promul.
gates. If Mr.. Hotchkiss can not stand such
criticisms as have appeared in your columns
in relation to his actions, he is indeed very
"touchy." Yours for peace and harmony,

value of the Sorghum Crop.


From the November Agricultural Report.
What is the value of the sorghum crop?
1t cannot be denied that the plant has been
an acquisition to America, and that it has
qualities which will enable it to maintain its
existence in the list of permanent crops in
American agriculture. 1t is probably the
most valuable of the list of plants introduced
by the Department of Agriculture. 1t can
not be said that it has grown into great
prominence. The increase in the breadth of
corn in 1883 has been at least equal to five
times the existing breadth of sorghum.
There must yet be material increase before
the latter occupies one per cent. of the area
of maize. But it has already attained
greater annual value than buckwheat. 1t is
worth nearly as much rs the rye crop, and
more than third of the value of the barley
product. The present acreage is principally
used for syrup, which may be valued at 80
cents per gallon, and held to be worth SlO,-
600 900. Possibly 100000 bushels of seed
may be utilized mostly in sections where
corn is cheap, worth not over 30 cents per
bushel, or Sl,5OO,OO0. 1t is not extensively
used for forage except in limited locations,
and 81 100000 may more than cover that
item. The sugar is as yet small figure in
the account. The entire value of the crop
may be roughly estimated at $l3 ,00o, 900 with
out probability of any considerable depar-
ture from the actual value.
Its future will largely depend on the sue
cess of the sugar experiment. Commercial
sugar comes almost eqally from the cane and
beet The latter has been development of
Europe, the congenial home of roots during
the present century. The former is fairly
successful on our southern border. The beet
may yet be produced on our Northern border
in regions of reliable summer rain fall and
suitably low temperature. There is n vast
area between-the home of the Indian corn
where sorghum natures and develops 4
large content of sucrosc. The only contin
gent of success in obtaining crystallized
sugar is an economic one--a question of the
cost of labor in growing and manufacturing.
In twenty-five years the people of the United
States will require 4, 900 ,Oo0. 900 pounds sugar
annually, as much is now produced through
out the world from the cane and the beet /;
and the demand will increase the price, so
that it is probable that in the future, if not
Immediately, the sugar of the United States
will be produced within the National
borders, of cane, sorghum, or beet, and pro-
badly of all three combined.
If anything shall prevent an early con-
summation so much desired, it will probably
be the current exaggeration which makes
sorghum "bonanzn," expectations extrava-
gantly raised that cannot possibly be realized
and losses incurred through faith in vision
ary schemes Theorists must give place to
practical men, backed by abundant dollars.
