Beet Sugar Notes.

Elkton, Huron county, Mich, has
been granted power by the Legislature
to raise $40. 900 for public improvements.
The money will be used to encourage
the erection Of beet sugar plant.
Reports from all sections of the state
show marked advancement in the price
Of farming lands throughout the state.
This is due to the sugar beet agitation,
and should be so recognized by our leg
islators.
Nothing is more profitable to the
farmer who raises sugar beets than GOOD
roads. Other counties where the IN
dustry has taken root should copy after
Bays excellent system of stone roads
Michigan Sugar Beet.
The sugar beet factory to be established
at Monroe cannot be completed in time
for campaign next fall, to the great
disappointment of many farmers in that
section who had pledged acreage. IL
will be ready year hence, however
The citizens Of Greenville want beet
sugar factory and il push and natural
adaptation of the soil count for any
thing, one will be located there and
running during the campaign Of 1900.
From tests made by the Agricultural
college, beets ct wn in that vicinity pro-
duced the largest percentage OF sugar OF
any section Of the state. A few years
ago farmers near Greenville signed con-
tracts to raise a certain number of acres
Of potatoes to supply a starch factory at
that place. The factory failed but
potato market, the best in the country,
was established.
Cadillac and the country surrounding
it is taking an active interest in the beet
sugar industry. Representatives, of the
Alma Sugar 90 have been there agitatinR
the matter, and committees Of business
men are now engaged in soliciting con-
tracts from the farmers, providing that
they will plant and cultivate certain
acreage of beets during the coming year.
The Alma Sugar Co. agrees 10 purchase
the product upon the percentage of sugar
in the beets and the Ann Arbor rail
road company has arranged 10 haul the
beets to Alma at nominal rate. The
committees are meeting with good sue
cess, and it is expected that several
hundred acres will be pledged. Wex-
ford county sugar beets have been tested
for sugar, and have shown such high
PERCENTAGE that there is no doubt Of the
quality Of the product and its standing
in the market.

An Exciting Runaway.

Just as we were going 10 press last
night very exciting runaway occurred
on our streets which very nearly caused
serious injuries to be sustained by at
least one of the participants. Misses
McNut, Witherell and Hudson were in
the cutter when the horse first became
frightened Miss Witherell immeditely
jumped out but the other two staid in
until the horse swung across the road i'll
front Of the postoffice and Miss Hudson
was thrown out, the horse then running
into a post i'll front Of j. w. Holmes
store, breaking loose from the cutter and
throwing Miss Men ut against the post,
cutting and bruising her about the head
quite badly. Miss McNut was driving
and would have been enabled to have
stopped the horse but for it's striking its
heels against the cutter runners.
