Sugar Beets in South Dakota.

A German, who had large expert.
ence in the manufacture of beet
sugar before coming to America, has
grown sugar beets ear Huron for
seven years past, the crop varying
from ten to eighteen tons per acre.
Each year he has made syrup for
family use and fed the balance to
stock. He says Dakota beets are
from three to five per cent richer in
saccharine matter than the same va.
rieties in Germany, owing, he thinks,
to the almost continuous succession
of clear bright days in summer, and
the dryness of the atmosphere. This
German finds that 100 pounds of his
beets will make over two gallons of
syrup, or forty gallons per ton. This
would be 400 gallons per acre, taking
the smallest yield i'll seven years.
Beet sugar manufacturers can pay
$500 per ton for beets; giving the
farmer, in thesmost unfavorable sea-
son, $50 per acre for his crop.--Times,
Huron, s. ID.

were appointed a committee to de-
eide upon a plan to bring the matter
before the people of the eastern part
of the state and secure lower rates
from the railroads. The committee
met at Bismarck last Tuesday and
the Tribune says that it was agreed
that a mileage rate per ton should be
given by the railroads, equal to a re-
duction of about fifty cents per ton in
rates to Fargo, Jamestown and inter-
mediate points. The rate to Fargo
now is 1925 per ton, and to James
town 80. The reduction proposed by
the committee would make the rate
to Fargo $l.75 and to jamestown
S1.5O. The committee also thought
that it would be wise to form an Or
ganization to inform the people of
the eastern and central part of the
state as to the quality and heat-pro-
ducing power of the coal, and the
proper stoves, etc. Railroad Commits
sioner Underhill was present and left
for St. Paul, to present the case to
