The SUGAR BEET MOVEMENT.
EVERY PROSPECT THAT IT
WILL BE A SUCCESS.
What Canvassers Say Who Have
Been Among the Farmers
Down the River.

CAPTAIN T B. Hall and T. w. Shea-
han have returned from a successful
canvass among the Italian renters of
land on Grand Island. They We're ac-
companied by Mr. Grossi of this city
and report having had received every
encouragement.
They secured promises from those
they talked with to plant about 1000
acres TO sugar beets. and found many
of the Italians and Portuguese intelli-
gent on the subject and eager to en-
gage in the business.
Several with whom they talked had
already had experience in the growing
of the sugar beet in France and it is
almost certain when the land owners
are heard from that certainly three,
and perhaps four thousand acres can
be secured on Grand Island alone The
people in that section recognize the
fact that if several thousand acres are
put to the growing of a new product
they will get better prices for what they
have been producing in the past
beans, potatoes. etc.-by reason of the
decreased acreage in these products.
AS it is impossible for the commit
tees to reach all small owners of land.
all who can place even as low as ten
acres to the growth Of the sugar beet
should notify Secretary J. O. Coleman
of he Chamber of Commerce of the
fact
The American farmers seem to be
more backward about this business
than any others. There should be more
public spirit manifested than seems to
prevail, particularly when there seems
to be q certainty that the business will
pay better than any other in which
they nave been engaged of later years
It ought to appear to the most obtuse
that when a firm offers to expend a
million dollars in the erection of a
factory, it is the best guarantee that
could be offered that it will pay the
farmers to grow the beets.

have been canvassing down the river
