Lady POyle AYle OF somersetshire,

OF the ~, 0uO, 600, 00O produced yearly
by American farms. IL was shown that
the value OF the corn alone reaches

While standing before the cereal

young lady friend Of Chicago origin,
Lady Poyle Ayle remarked. MAY 1

To which the fair lllinoisan made

The British matron, OF course,
missed the point, but the incident
was noted down and borne back TO

The beet-sugar crop of 1898 was
manufactured at seven factories, the
largest being in California, and others
in Nebraska, Utah and Virginia, the
latter only recently established and
with a production for the past year of
only eighteen tons. The amount of
capital invested in the seven factories
is about $4,000, 900. Tributary to
these factories, under cultivation in
beets are about 30, 900 acres of land.
the best of the California fsrms being
rated at $500 an acre. The average
yield of the lands was ten tons of beets
to the acre, for which the farmers re-.
ceived, delivered at the factories, an
average of $3.50 per ton. Apparently
this is profitable crop; but not only
is fertile soil required, but high fer
tilization, and a great deal of hand
culture; SO that, on the whole, the
crop is seldom heavy enough to be
profitable except on fertile land which
is too valuable for ordinary crops.
These requirements, and the fact tha,
sugar beet cultivation must be in the
line of scientific farming, if sstisfac
tory results are to be reached, will al
ways have tendency to confne thi
branch of agriculture to certain favor

New York, July 18.-The Press will
tomorrow say: Monsignor Satolli has
just rendered decision condemning the
liquor traffic. He approves of the ex.
pulsion of liquor dealers from Catholic
societies. This unmistakable decision
was called forth by sn appeal from the
ruling OF Bishop Watterson OF Colum
bus, Ohio.
During the last Lenten season Bishop
Watterson addressed a letter to the
clergy and laity Of his diocese, dealing
wholly with the temperance problem
One of the societies laid the matter Tor
mally before Monsignor Satolli. To this
appeal the apostolic delegate has just
responded. He sustains the position Of
Bishop Watterson, and says:
Tho liquor traffic, and especially as
conducted here in the United States, is
the source of much evil, hence the
bishop was acting within his rights in
seeking to restrict it. Thersfore the
delegate apostolic sustains Bishop Wat
terson's action and approves OF his cir
cular and regulation concerning saloons,
and the expulsion of saloon keepers
from membership in Catholic societies"
