small but very enthusiastic class in the
chemical laboratory, under the instruc-
tion Of DR.. Gomberg

$3.50; seed for two acres. S5.40-tOtal
expense. $l414, which taken from the
amount received, S0j.1,, leaves Sol .03.
The total paid out for labor and figuring
rent for land, $50, which leaves the neat
profit of S46.03 per acre. George Ort-
ner's sugar beets tested IL per cent. OH
heavy clay, netting him $50 per acre.
Senator Brown of Laurence has intro
duced bill in tae State Senate Of
Pennsylvania for the promotion and en-.
enlargement of the sugar beet culture

a ton.
Governor Roosevelt has approved of
the act of the Legislature appropriating
$4,000 for conducting the experiment OF
raising beets and manufacturing beet
sugar in New York State. There is a
balance of about $40, 900 left from last
years appropriation for this purpose
The State Commissioner of Agriculture
is empowered to give bounty of not to
exceed one cent pound on all manu-.
featured sugar
A bill TO pay bounty of 81 ton on
