They Claim That Wheat Culture Is No Longer
Paying Business.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TIE DIsPATcH.I
READING, January 4.-The farmers of Berks
county intend to go extensively into sugar beet
culture. At the meeting of the County
Agricultural Society, this afternoon, special
committee of five appointed to inquire into the
subject, reported that they had thoroughly
canvassed the county; that nearly every farmer
promised to put out during the first year two to
five acres in sugar beets, and that total would
amount to thousands of acres, The farmers
have obtained assurances that Claus Spreckels
will erect a sugar factory near here and
consume their products. The society at once
appointed another committee of 15O well-known
farmers to push the project.
The farmers are thoroughly alive on the sub
ject. They see that farming wheat no longer
pays, and they are anxious to go into
Something else. In a letter written here
recently Mr.. Spreckels assured the Berks
farmers that sugar beat culture would pay them
twice as well as we'll as wheat. The Sheriff is
selling farms and farm stock nearly every day.
Many farmers will retire in spring, while
numerous farms are for rent The farmers
who will remain in the business are eager to 60
into anything which will pay them better.

A NEW YORK paper proudly points to
the fact that the District Attorneys office OF
that city has secured 1858 convictions during
the past year, with only S35 acquittals. But the
trouble is that the acquittals contain SO large
proportion of people who should have been
convicted; while the much larger number of
convictions was principally made up of persons
for whose conviction there was no more decided
public need than that of some of the people
who were acquitted.

PENNSYLVANIA has on her records the
case of man who stole the roof off public
building; but the ambitious young State of
South Dakota shows its ability to beat that
record by call for military aid to prevent a
town site from being stolen. 1t is true that the
site has no buildings on it; while in view of the
danger to the real estate it is fortunate for the
men who might tave owned the buildings.
When roofs and sites are subjects for The depre-
dations of thieves the security of the property
left between them is not satisfactory. What
good would there be in house with neither a
roof to coverit nor a site for it to stand on?
