BEET v. SORGHuM-The agricultural

in spite of the last two years having been
exceptionally uniayorable, the sugar fac,
tories at Champaign and in Kansas were 50
well satisfied with the results that they
made arrangements TO enlarge the business
this year, which now has every promise Of
proving very favorable one. Yet it is
not 10 be concealed that the Agricultural
Department 1t Washington takes little
stock in sorghum, but is rather inclined TO
favor the development of the beet sugar
interest On that point We find the follow
Ing in n Washington letter:
"Do YOU know, - said prominent official
of the Agricultural Department To your
correspondent, that in spite of all the time
that we have had in the past few years
about sorghum sugar, and the reported sue
cess of the past year or two III lts manulaC-
trc. more beet sugar is made in this coun-
try than sorghum sugar.
NO"
1T is fact" he replied with smile.
There is Just one beetsugar factory in the
country; that is in California. 1t turned
out last year and the year before more
sugar than all the sorghum sugar factories
in the country
"Do you think there is any future TO this
industry i'm the United States?'
II think that if the United States was
ever To produce its own sugar it would be
in this way, and there is no reason why it
should not do So
In this connection some facts and figures
recently received at the State Department
from Consul Keifer in Germany (Stettin)t
are specially interesting. He shows that
the export Of beet sugar from Germany TO
the United States, begun in 1881, has
grown with wonderful rapidity, notwith-
standing the heavy tariff which this coun-
try imposes upon foreign sugars, and from
that cons lar district alone amounted last
wear to nearly 100000, and il is TO be
largely increased in the coming year
Commenting upon the great quantities OF
beet sugar manufactured in his district
and the profits growing out of that industry
as well, Consul keifer says: "AS look at
the astounding results, cannot help think
Ing that in the cultivation of this root Il
new and large field of enterprise and pros
perity would be given to our American
people Some states are particularly well
adapted to the cultivation of sugar beet;
for instance, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa
and Minnesota, and 100000 acres lying idle
now, that, if utilized for that purpose,
would yield IA rich harvest The time will
come when the beetroOt will be for the

before the Young Mems Philomathean
Society, he had not fully decided what he

however, that he would say something con-
cerning the influence of sensational literature
upon the minds of the young. In the ad-
dress this idea was elaborated into a half
hours consideration of the tendency of
American youth toward a too painstaking
study of the reports of crime in the daily
newspapers. Finnish gentleman, wishing
to mold the minds of the youth of Finland
upon the American model, had asked him
what the boys and girls of the United States
read, and he unhesitatingly had answered,
News" Books and the scriptures were
occasionally read, but the solid mental nu-
triment from day to day was news. The
influence of news upon the minds of the
young was not question of yesterday or
today, but of tomorrow. He considered
himself too young to say that all good things
belonged to the past, but he could not over
look the fact that in modern times, more than
in the past the record of the worlds crimes
