The Cost of Raising Beets.

Ehtor HFsndscGtor:
take the following from Bulletin No SO,
issued from the Agricultural Experiment
Station of Nebraska. on May 1st, 1891:
"Throughout the State the interest in the
beet sugar industry assumed, this year, a diff
ferent aspect from heretofore A compare
lively large number of farmers, during the
season just past, planted from one to five
acres. Some planted them to be shipped to
factories; others, finding sugar baets are ex
celient food for stock, especially Mich cows,
planted them for that use. Almost all sec
tons of the State raised acre plats for the
factories; even localities far removed from
the factories contracted to raise beets for su-
gar. Good prices paid and low freight rates
enabled them to do this. The beet-grower
tops Chat portion growing above ground), 90
to waste. farmer who receives pay for -
tons of beets, leaves i'll the field at least four
tons of crowns. While at present prices, the
sugar value of the beets sold is-sixty dol
lars the food value of the tops would pay at
least all the expense of harvesting and mar
keting.''
With suitable appliances for growing beets,
the cost will not exceed eight dollars for
labor; the seed and fertilizer will cost five
dollars per acre. The tops pay for harvest
ing and marketing. So it will be seen, the
cost need not exceed fifteen dollars per acre.
or dollar and a half per ton, with moder-
ate yield OF ten tons per acre. The extra
amount of fertilizer used, the deep and thor
ough tillage of the land insures a double
yield for the two succeeding years, which
more than offsets the cost of the beet CROP
Let every farmer prove this by planting an
acre of beets this year for his stock. This
can be done at any time before June 10th.

fatal effect to the shipping. This year of

FRIDAY MORNING, MAY rs, 1894.
AN ELECTRIC RAILROAD TO
MONTERREY,

Our esteemed contemporary the News.
thinks an electric railway between Staun-
ton and Monterey is feasible. We are in
clined to agree with it, and to add that it
would be profitable The subject of rail
road-not electric for electric railroads
were not known then-to Monterey was
agitated in 1885. by the Staunton Chamber
of Commerce. 1t was inaugurated by a
resolution Offered by Mr.. Charles l.. Wei
Ter. In advocating it Col. J. q. Shields,
who is familiar with the commercial ad-
yantages of every section of Virginia, gave
some very interesting data in support OF
building road into Highland. That
county, he showed, had 10000 acres in
woodlands and valuable forests, had about
8 900 acres in cereal and grass rotations in
cultivation, had $500 mich COWS and 5000
other cattle, 10, 900 sheep, 1000 hogs, over
.OGO horses, and raised over AZ, 900 pounds
of wool. These were the fgares OF the
census of 1886; of course they would be
larger now based on that of 1880. Even
then, Highland surpassed the great county
of Clarke in cattle and was almost equal to
Smythe in the Southwest. A railroad to
Highland would draw the trade of Poca-
hontas, Pendleton, Randolph and other
West Virginia counties.
1t was estimated in the discussion OF
nine years ago, that a narrow gauge rail-
road to Monterey would cost $4,000 a mile
OF somewhere in the neighborhood OF
$3.50 900. But an electric railroad which
would dispense with the grading and al
most follow the levels of the present coun-
ty roads, would not cost near that. Certain
it is that Staunton must have railroad to
that section if it would hold its trade, and
as step towards clearer vision OF the
matter we would suggest that our Cham
ber of Commerce open a correspondence
with some accepted authority to ascertain
something about the cost of electric roads.

UNIVERSITY.

We have meyer seen the press OF Virgin
ia more unanimous on any SUBJECT tGah IL
it's condemnation OF the action of the Fac
ulty of the University OF Virginia, in re-
jecting the report of six of its own mem
beers in favor of the education of women at
that State institution of learning. It is a
public school, and those who conduct it
should, we think, listen TO the voice Of tho
public as expressed. we doubt not correct
ly, by the press. They are only delaying
the matter, for il they will not hear The
peoples voice through the press, they vii
he forced to hear it through tie legisla

FILL THE GAP.

Staunton has good trade with the neigh
borhood of Franklin, PendIeton. w. Va.
1t is not an unusual thing to see as many
as half dozen wagons at the wagon yards
here from that section. When the Staun-
ton and Monterey telephone line is finished
it leaves a gap Of only twenty-five miles
between Monterey and Franklin to ill. If
this gap were filled we tapa large section Of
West Virginia that wagons to Staunton
and that is threaded by telephones. 1t is q
gap>Well worth filling as far as Staunton S
interests feconcerned.

THE BOOM AND THE LOTTERY
pT N

We said last week that the decision of
Judge Mclaughlin that the lottery feature
1.-THE lot drawing) of the boom companies
made them illegal and incompetent to sue
the stockholders, would cut both ways and
render stockholders incompetent to sue
them. On Friday the Judge settled two cases
in point, given fully in another column. i'll
which lie decided that stockholders being
as guilty of violating the State lottery law
as the companies themselves, could not re-
cover money paid to them. These two de-
cisions will thin out the boom docket in
our courts almost to obliteration. Othel-
los occupation is gone as far as boom suits
in Virginia courts are concerned.
