for the work Business experience and pubno training may thus be combined, and the patri- utic zeal of the friends of the country be so di- rected that such a report will be made to receive the support of all parties and finances cease to be the subject of mere parti- san contenSon. The experiment is, at all events, worth a trial. and, in my opinion, it can but prove beneficial to the entire country.
 International BimotalIism.
 The question of international bimetallism will have early and earnest attention. It will be my constant endeavor to secure it by co operation with the other great commercial powers of the world. Until that condition is realized when the parity between our gold and silver money springs from and is supported by the relative value of the two metals. the value of the silver already coined and of that which may hereafter be coined must be kept con stantly at par with gold by every resource at our command. The credit of the government, the integrity of its currency and the inviola- bility of its obligations must be preserved, This was the commanding verdict of the peo pie and it will not be unheeded.
 Economy is demanded in every branch of the government at all times. but especially in pe- riods like the present of depression in business and distress among the people. The severest economy must be observed in all public ex- penditures and extravaganza stopped wher- ever it is found and prevented wherever in the future it may be developed. If the reve- nues are to remain as now, the only relief that can come must ba from decreased expendi- lures. But tse present must not become the permanent condition of the government. It has been our uniform practice to retire. not increase, our outstanding obligations, and this policy must again be resumed and vigorously enforced. Our revenues should always be large enough to meet with ease and promptness not only current needs and the principal and interest of the public debt, but to make proper and liberal provision for that most de- serving body of public creditors the soldiers and the sailors and the widows and orphans who are the pensioners of the United States.
 The government should not be permitted to run behind or increase its debt in times like the present.
 Suitably to provide against this is the man. date of duty, the certain and easy remedy for most of our financial difficulties. A deficiency is inevitable so long as the expenditures of the government exceed it's receipts. It can only be met by loans or an increased revenue.

The BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY.
BY HOWARD BRowN.

As this is topic to interest all have
taken some pains to inform myself as
to the viei ], value and cost of produc-
ton.
From various sources OF information
nm satisfied that in this valley we can
produce better thai an average yi,l! oi
IL tons of beets per acre with the requi-
site percentage of saccharine. The av-
erage price at factories now heing oper.
aied in the United State. is SIS per ton
The cost of production and delivering
to factory is about $50 per acre. This
would leave the producer $50 net in
come per acre OH 13 tim production.
The cost to erect and equip factory
is about s250,OOO
The fac ory season is months and
during that time furnishes employment
to 320 men. running Two shifts IL hours
each. I30 in each shit.
1t would require about $500 acres Of
bests TO supply the necessary quantity
for one factory Of the usual size.
In concluding let me sny that the
present consumption of sugar in the
United States would require the output
of 9UO such factories as the one mention
ell. and that portions Of only 10 states
are adapted to the cultivation of the
sugar beet and none better than this
locality.
would advise those who can do So
10 plant one acre of sugar beets this
year MS an experiment and tie product
viii pay well for The trouble il utilized
for stock feed. A sampte Of each crop
can he sent away for analysis.
We shonll begin now and perhaps
1898 will dawn with the building of one
or more sugar beet factories in this por-
ton Of the Arkansas valley. ! will
write next lime on the method of plant
ing and cultivation.
The Holly chieftain., 1897-03-12

The old method, still quite common
with many in planting orchards, is IL
dig holes somewhat larger than pos,
holes in which to plant the young trees
Where only a few trees are to be plant
ed this is perhaps the best way. But i,
is at best hard, back-aching work, and
in planting large orchard would be a
waste of time and strength. An excel
lent plan, when possible, is TO strike
furrows at intervals across tho field with
a common listing plow. going twice in
the furrow in order to make as deep d
trench as possible. then cross firrow
these at proper intervals. the distance
the rows are wanted apart. say twenty
or thirty feet. This furnishes ready
made excavations at the cross furrowa
for planting the trees, with plenty oi
loose soil to throw around the roots
One man with team can plant several
hundred trees in day in this manner
and three men in the same length oi
time can plant several acres. This NAV
seem like slip shod way of planting
but if the work be done properly, it will
give excellent satisfaction. The future
success Ofthe young orchard will de-
pend largely on the care and culture
'giycn it.-Field and Farm.
The Holly chieftain., 1897-03-12

The two value columns must he added
together where there are figures in DO b
To the credit of one kind of crop.
Value Of snyar bepts is based on prices
to beet sugar factory; that Of mangle
wur'zsl on feeding value.
There is nothing extravagant in these
figures, yet novice will not ilways be
able to obtain such yields, and an sx-
Wrenced and thoroueh-going farmer
ran beat any of them do not wish to
be understoud as one in any way inter
esied Only to give correct estimates for
the benefit of Others.
What the farmers Of this community
should do is IN ascertain the kinds OF
crops TO produce without crowding ai,
already ovcr-done product.
The field is open for the creamery
prodnct poultry and eggs. sugar beet
factory, cattle and sheep feeding. and
production of stock cat,l. and hogs, and
with all ihese maybe n moderate produc-
lion on all forms of choice fruits.
