The Salt Lake Tribune is probably
wrong in its assertion that the oppo-
sition 10 expansion is a sectional
prejudice, based on the East's jealousy
of the West. Most of the friends of
apnexation are in the West and most
of its enemies III the East, but the
East's hostility to it is not quite as
great as is commonly supposed. Even
New England, which was supposed to
be solidly opposed to expansion, has
many advocates of this policy. In
this particular Senators Lodge and
Frye are a fair Offset to Senators
Hosr and Hale. The vast majority
of the people of the East as well as
of the West are expansionists. There
is no sectional line on this issue. The
increased trade which the annexation
of the Philippines will bring will not
all go to the West. The whole coun-
try will share In it, as it will share in
the power and prestige which expan-
sion will Econfer on the nation.

"BETTER THAN WHEAT"

Official statistics of the sugar pro
duction of Germany for the crop
year of 1897-1S99, have been pub
lished. They are very suggestive in
the line OF profit to the American
beet-sugar industry. showing as they
do that as long as our sugar duties
remain operative, as at present, the
cultivation of the beet sugar ought to
be very profitable to American farm
ers. Manifestly, in Germany, very
large quantity of suga: is obtain ed
from the beets raised on a compara-
lively small area of land. In the
crop year covered by the returns, as
published in Willett & Gray's sugar
trade journal, there were I,080,256
acres under sugar beets in Germany,
and the "beets worked aggregated
1857 7,891 tons. The average yield,
according to the official table, was
12 p tons per acre. There were
evidently some deductions made, as
the average really figures out some
thing more than this. The sugar
production, based on raw sugar, is
given at 1,844, ,399 tons, and it is
stated that the yield averages 1868
pounds of sugar per acre.
These figures can be better under
stood by comparison. In the United
States the sugar factories pay be-
tween 81 and $3.50 per ton for sugar
beets. Reckoned at these rates and
putting the yield at 1922 tors per
acre the beet farmer would obtain
between $40 and $50 for the sugar
beets raised on an acre of land, or
more than four times as much as the
average value per acre obtained by
the wheat farmer for the product of
their fields in 1897, when conditions
favored an unusually profitable mar
ket. 1t may be said that beet culture
has been reduced to a science in Ger
many. Relative limited area in that
country, together with the fact that
women and children work afeld, in
duces intensive agriculture in de-
gree of which the great West, at
least, of our own country knows moth
ing. The possibilities in this line,
the probabilities, indeed, as shown by
the figures presented, lead to the be-
lief that In due time the sugar-beet
industry of the country may outclass
the wheat industry in profit, and the
old term "better than wheat" find
Terification in the experience of the
beet farmer.-Oregonian.

AGRICULTURE IN ALASKA.
Hardy Vegetables and Grains Can
he SuccessfuIIy GROWN

WASHINGTON, Dec. THE investiga-
tions of the department of agriculture
concerning the agricultural possibilities
Of Alaska were continued during the past
season. The special agent of the depart
ment. Prof. c. c. Georgeson, who IS in
charge of this work, has just returned
from Alaska. He brought with him
collection Of very fine samples of grains
and vegetables grown on the newly es-
tablished experiment stations at Sitka
and Kenai Cook inlet. The samples in
clude several varieties of spring wheat,
which matured perfectly, and also a
dozen varieties each Of barley and oats,
besides rye, flax and buckwheat. All of
these grains compare favorabIy with
grains grown anywhere in the United
States.
The earliest sowings of grain were made
April 20, some in May, some of the SAM
pies as late as May Is. The two varieties
of wheat named were harvested Sept 5.
Barley mostly ripens by the end of Au-
gust, and cats mature about Sept 25.
The success in grain growing in Alaska
suggests the possibility that the terri
tory, in time, may produce seed of early
maturing variety for use farther south.
Among the collection of vegetables are
some remarkable specimens of potatoes,
onions, carrots, parsnips and rutabagas.
Prof. Georgeson says all hardy vege-
tables can be grown with great success
in the coast regions Of the territory.
