MMERCIAL TREES,
By ]. D. Barrett, Secretary of
the Minnesota Forestry
Assassination

By experimen tatiOn the early SET
tiers learned that only nUn-commer-
cial trees could lie successfully raised
on the open prairie belts for the COM
mercial sorts were less hardy in
the start. With their protection,
prairie forestry is sufficiently devel-
oped now to warrant the introduction
OF the pines, white and red oaks, COM
mon white birch, walnuts, hickories,
hard naples, bassw0ods, rock elms,
the better ashes and some others. It
has already been demonstrated in the
southern half Of the state, that wal
nut orcharding is a paying success.
In Europe are plan tatiOns of COM
mercial trees that largely support the
government. The little country Of
Bavaria, for instance, owning 1900, ,0C0
acres Of forests, receives from them a
net profit annually of $4,500,0O0. Min
nesota or any other state of equal
area, can do as we'll only practically
systematiZe the enterprise. In
Massachusetts, and like success in
other New England States, an eight
acre lot of poor land, sOwn to pine
seeds in 1850, the trees cut in 1891,
yielded $4,000 from the box boards at
the mill.
At this rate 100000 acres, conditions
similar, would, in ~ years growth of
the seedlings, yield 25,0OO,0OO; and
10000 square miles, 6,400,000 acres,
poorest land, located at the headlands
of our principal streams, as forest re-
serves, would yield $1,000, 900, 900, to
say nothing of water economy and
healthful Influences, and benefits to
the general agriculture. According
to good authorities, the increment
value of wood growth after the trees
maturity, is five cents per tree. TAX
ing these ratios, and allowing each
acre to have, average, only 100 trees
the increase in value per year Of the
10000 square miles would be $31 ,00G,
OCO.
Calling the net but half this sum,
it is obvious that, With right manage
ment, the profit from the cut would
literally support all our state public
institutions. Is it not worth the
while then, for the state to encour-
age the raising of pines and other
commercial trees on lands useless for
any other purpose than such tree cul-
ture?
Let the prairie farmers, too, con-
slider their chances. The demand for
timber is constantly increasing. II
they would begin the commercial en-
terprise with simply one acre, and
every year plant a new one, so that
the value would be continuous after
the first outing by selection and keep
ing the forest intact, the income
would far exceed the profit Of all their
other crops.

WHY BUTTER is HIGHER.
Dairy Inspector E. B. Williams
Explains the Advancing Price
Of Rutter

'The only explanation I can see for
the improved price of butter is that
the improved quality makes a better
market. AS the butter gets better
the people eat more Of it. In the days
of dairy butter the stores and ware
houses were loaded up with all. man
ner Of grades, from extra down to
grease Many people Gid not know
the difference between good butter
and poor, and SO bought the cheap
article. from motives Of economy, and
then as little Of it as they could
get along with. There is little or no
dairy butter in the market today. 1t
is all creamery product, and in most
cases of very fine flavor. People have
had to buy it and use it, and they
have been using far more of it than
of the poor stuff they formerly bought.
1t is this increased consumption that,
in my estimation. has contributed
most to bring about the present i'm
proved prices. And I believe that the
per capita consumption is going to
grow larger all the time. as the peO-
pie get better acquainted with the
merits of the creamery product.
''The good old days Of dairy butter
are no more in this country. It is a
rare exception now to fin1 farmer
that makes butter. 1t is likely soon
to be a lost art in the family. There
are in some German communities Of
the state conservative families that,
while sending their milk to the cream
cry, still reserve enough to make the
butter for their own use. But in a
short time that practice will be dis
continued and dairy butter will be as
much of a curiosity as the creamery
article was twenty years ago. [ look
for even higher prices than are now
being paid"

BEET SUGAR.
The Nebraska Factories Running
at Full Capacity.

The Nebraska FACTORIES NuHnlHS
at Full Capacity.
From the Chicago Tribune.
The beet sugar refneries at Grand
Island and Norfolk, Nebraska, are in
the thick Of their seasons work.
Their output of beet sugar will far ex'
ceed any previous run they have made.
The Grand Island factory is now
slicing $50 tons of beets each day.
The beets are of excellent quality
this year, and the daily product in
sugar is about 700 bags, or thirty-fve
tons. To convert this from the raw
beet into standard granulated sugar
requires the services Of IT'S men and a
daily consumption of 100 tons Of coal,
20 tons of limestone, seven tons OF
toze, and 2,50O,OOO gallons of water.
Tnis latter item should 60 far in as
suring nervous people that beet sugar
is clean.
About one-third of all the sugar
eaten in the United States is beet
sugar. Since the outbreak Of the
Cuban war fhe percentage runs even
higher, but only small part Of this
amount is produced in this country.
Most of it is brought from Europe
and refined by the sugar trust. or
the domestic source of supply, Cali
fyrnia leads in tonnage. At Grand
Island this seasons output OF stand
ard granulated sugar will reach ten
million pounds. and the Norfolk pro
duction will exceed this. This estimate
takes no account of the by-products
of yellow sugar and molasses. Both
refneries are constantly oversold, and
as prices average cent pound high
er than last year the company will
make handsome profit on the years
business.
Last year about $500 acres Of beets
were planted for the Grand Island
factory, for Norfolk about 4.500. This
year the acreage for each point will
reach 5000. These 10000 acres will
yield about 100000 tons Of excellent
beets. The Nebraska refneries buy
beets this year on the following sched'
ule: For beets averaging II per cent
sugar and 80 per cent purity or better,
delivered at factory, per ton -; aver
aging II per cent sugar and Is per
cent purity, 1926; averaging 10 per
cent sugar and 10 per cent purity $3.50
The last seven years have developed
a class Of beet producers which is now
almost entitled to be termed an ex-
pert body. Farmers who in 1890 con-
tracted with many fears to grow five
acres OF beets, now contract for tWen-
ty acres without any hesitation, and
take care of the twenty with less
trouble than the first five.
With improved methods of cu]ture
resulting 4ia from experience ca and the in
the crop, Nebraska farmers now Sc

Electing a Postmaster at Mantol

Electing Postmaster at MantOr'
vile.
From the Kasson Republican.
Who is to be the next postmaster is
the all absorbing question in Mantor-
vile? On Saturday the citizens met
in caucus and elected three election
judges and clerk. Monday, Nov.
1st was agreed upon for the date Of
the election, which is subject to the
following rules: No one except Re-
publican voters, patrons Of the office
will be allowed to vote, and only one
vote is allowed each person. The
polls open at 9 o'clock a. m. and close
at p. m., at the MantOrville House.
Whether or not the ladies are to be
included in the eligible list of voters,
we nave been unable to learn, but
they certainly ought to vote if they
want too, and probably will if they
feel so inclined. The agreement be-
tween the candidates of which there
are five. is that the person receiving
the highest mum Der Of votes at this
election, shall be recommended to our
member Of congress for his indorse-
ment for the appointment. All the
candidates have agreed to abide by
the result of the election. 1t seems a
very fair and equitable sway lof SET
tling the matter. All the candidates
are Republicans, four men and on
women.
