Winter Sunday Schools.

[ copy the following stirring ap-
peal by The American Sunday
School Union:
at is fact that many Sunday
Schools, especially in the country
districts, close in the fall and re-
main closed far into the spring.
Why! Is Bible instruction less
valuable or less needed in winter
than in summer! Are souls less
precious, or is labor for their con-
version less a dutys Dc the world,
the flesh, and the devil cease to
allure and destroy? Are all sure
of renewed opportunities next
year!
To ask these questions suggests
the answer.
Why should the work cease:
Christians multiply their meet
ings and efforts for thei" own and
others good. We look for re-
vivals mostly too m any of US on
ly-in winter. 1t is the season of
activity. And when all else is
active, should the Sunday School,
the best, and in many cases the
only means of religious instruc-
ton for the children and youth,
go into winter quarters and lie
dormant: rather die, and await
feeble and uncertain resurrection
next year!
The excuses, we dare not call
them reasons, for this course-are
they valid! VIII the master ac-
cept them?
No. the Schools must not closet
Redouble your efforts to lead the
children to the Savior Call in
new scholas. Let there be
glorious winter campaign for Jesus
ard the children. Do all you can
to aid by visits and other wise.
TIE work must not cease.
If a school has closed, revive it.
| will gladly aid feeble schools, as
far as ! can. with grants of litera-
ture if they viii also help them
selves.
The thanks of the friends of
Sunday Schools are due the
GRAPHIC for kindly, helpful no.
tees in aid of this great cause.

The Beet Sugar Industry

The live question among farm
ers Now is what can he done to
make farming pay. II sugar beet
growing pays iu Nebraska may it
not he mad. profitable in other
grain growing States.
1t is an interesting question.
What, then, are they doing in
that State that is taking the lea d
in this industrys The season is
so far advanced that a pretty close
estimate OF the beet sugar product
may he made, and the output of
the great OXnard factories is eX-
peGted to reach total of l5 900,
600 pounds from $4,000 tons OF
beets. This is about twice as
large yield as that of 1895, and
nearly three times as great as that
of 1894. At the same time the
number of farmers who have cult
vated beeis has increased with
like rapidity. In 1894 only about
800, and in 1895, 1,300 engaged
in the business but the present
year the number reached about
1000. The average yield has
been about eleven tons of beets tC
the acre, and the price per ton has
ranged from 81 to 81. The latter
figure was paid for beets that con
tanned the remarkably high pei
cant of 20; the lower price was
given for those that graded only
II per cent of sugar. The amounts
received by the growers ranged
from $44 to ST. per acre The
average amount of beets grown by
each farmer was only about thirty.
seven tons, showing that less thar
four acres were planted, on the
