The North American locusts are not
in it with the South American fellows
for destruction. So numerous have
they been in the Argentine that trains
outside of Buenos Ayres could not
proceed any distance on account OF
their clouds obscuring the sight of
the engineers and their bodies rend
ering the rails so slippery that there
was no grip on them. Under the re-
wards offered by the government a
thousand tons of locust eggs have
been destroyed. Everything that is
green is destroyed and starvation
stares the people in the vicinity of
La Plata in the face. Farmers find
all their prospects for grain and veg.
etable growths of all kinds destroy
ed and are discouraged beyond i'm
preston over the outlook.

Beet sugar can be made in this
country and made at profit and the
counties engaged in it are certain to
come to the front with good sur
plus as the profits Of their industry.
Rome, New York is town that learns
wisdom by experience. Half a CEN
ury ago she let splendid opportun-
ity pass her door and go to Syracuse,
all because she insisted on an addi-
tional $500 for a lot on which a large
organ mandatory was to be. built.
When it came to putting up for beet
refinery she remembered the old mis-
take and profted by her experience.
The $250,OO0 for the refinery was
forthcoming and as result Of the
first years operations 1900 barrels
of granulated sugar were put upon
the market. That Mohawk valley ia
not whit better suited by nature
for the growth Of sugar beets than a
thousand little valleys in Texas and
when the refinery is built there will
the beet roots be gathered together

While beet sugar is coming into IA

While beet sugar is coming into IA
vor in the United States and its cul-
ture is destined to be source of large
revenue to many agricultural dis
tricts, it is well to remember that the
cane sugar is the better product,
and that Texas has hundreds Of thou
sands of acres not under cultivation
that can be profitably turned into
cane. All along the gulf, from the
mouth of the Sabine to the mouth of
the Rio Grande there are large tracts
of native cane lands, equal to the best
under cultivation in Louisiana, and
these could be made very productive
with proper cultivation. There is no
reason why the sugar crop of Texas
should not be one of its leading in
dustries.

The Americans in Cuba are wonder
ing how much rope the Congress of
the United States is going to give
Spain, and how long it will be be-
fore that reasonable time mention
ed in the message expires. Business
is dead and all is going to bad and
from bad to worse and the Ameri-
cans with large interests and all
their fortunes at stake in Cuba are
naturally little anxious. They all
agree that if it is left to Spain the
reasonable time will draw itself out
to an eternity.

There is a change observable in the
real estate market Of the old CONT

Uncle Sam no doubt stands in the
way of the same kind of tactics being
put in practice in the Central and
South Americas. But the Monroe doc
trine is not as dead as some of the
deriders of it seem to imagine. All the
same European hands are kept off.
