this seasons run.-Field and Farm.
Profit In Sugar Beets.
Just at present the whole of Colo
RADIO is agitated over the cultivation
of sugar beets. The writer remem-
bers penning the first article
ever published advising the farmers
of the Grand valley and the Western
slope to add the tuber to their crops
with the idea Of securing a refinery
This was in 1892 or '93. That the
item has borne fruit is attasted by
the fact that that section Of
the State will have factory
in the near future. Apropos Of the
subject few facts CLEANED by the
Denver Republican. showing the pro-
fit Of sugar beet culture, are sp-
pended:
In Germany last year 1850, ,256
acres were planted in sugar beets.
The tonnage produced WAS 1857 :
S9l, and the raw sugar in pounds
f,S4d. $50. the average yield Of bsets
to the acre was u % tons.
AT present in the United States
the manufacturers pay 81 to s4.50
per ton for sugar beets. This will
serve as basis for Colorado farmers
upon which to figure prospective
profits. Assuming that they may
not do as well as the Germans, and
that instead of raising over twelve
tons to the acre they produce but ten.
at the lower quotation mentioned they
would receive forty dollars per acre
for the product, which would enable
the farmer to accumulate wealth very
rapidly.
THE cost Of planting and cultiva-
ton cannot be much more than the
expense for producing potatoes,
wheat, or oats. If this be true, the
margin Of profit ought to be sufficient
to satisfy the farmer. The farmers
agricultural States continue
to raise twenty-five cent corn and
forty cent wheat. Under ho possible
combination Of circumstances can
they expect return approaching
forty dollars per acre.
THE Colorado farmer who owns
land suitable for growing sugar beets
need seek no further for better op-
portunity to make money tilling the
soil with a market practically at his
door, with immunity from floods or
drought; he may be said to possess
a sure thing"
Chas. Boettcher, president Of the
National Bank Of Commerce in Dem
yer, writes to +. A. Reynolds that he
will furnish seed to anyone near Canon
City who wants to plant an acre or so
and adds that the beets will be pur-
chased by the Grand junction factory.
in which Mr.. Boettcher is interested.
The people of Montrose, Delta and
Grand counties took advantage Of
similar proposition several years ago,
slipping TO Lehi, Utah. 1t was a
practical demonstration of what could
be done in the cultivation Of beets on
the soils of the Western slope, and
resulted rs is shown, in securing q
local factory.
The tests made last year prove that
our soils are admirably adapted to the
growth Of sugar beets rich in sacch-
arine. The whole secret of sugar
beet culture Is embodied in one word:
Sunshine. The more sunshine the
greater the per centage Of sugar. If
you plant sugar beets, be sure they
are not shaded at any hour Of the
day, keep the ground free from weeds
or other vegetation, and the success
Of your crop is assured. We would
like to sec all the vacant land around
Caion City growing sugar boetss peas.

Recent developments in the Canon

THINGS OF INTEREST.
Some Peculiarities . Tourist Finds Il
interest Him In Travelling
Through Old Mexico.


There is SO much of peculiar in
terest in the customs and conditions
of this old and long neglected
country one hardly knows what TO
select as being most readable.
The Mexican hotel is about the
first thing one encounters. We have
found the hotels fairly good. They
are all built, as are all large buildings
here, around centre square which
is uncovered and usually cultivated
as flower garden. All rooms are
both outside and inside and from a
healthful stand point most perfect.
When tourist arrives he is first
shown the rooms. Before being
engaged each room contains only
bedstead, spring mattress. chair
and a small convenient cabinet.
When the room is engaged the bed
is made up and room made ready for
its occupant. The tourist then seeks
the front of the house and registers
on large blackboard in the space
opposite the number of his room.
The meals at the average Mexican
hotel are not bad. In fact they are
much better than We were prepared
to find. They serve literally and of
good quality though Keefe could give
them some good lessons on manner
of serving. Every article is a course
here and each article is brought in
on the plate you are to eat from
Today We had soup-eggs with rice
and chile = veal stew = chicken
roast beef and new peas-greens--
beans-desert- They came in courses
as named, then on the side we had
fresh lettuce and radishes. The be-
ginner viii eat each article a 1t
comes fearing there will be 10 aaaAs
but the old hand soon learns what
to pass by. We find eggs at every
meal everywhere. When guest de-
sires bell boy or porter he goes
out by the center court and claps his
hands three times. The chamber
maids are all men. The floors are all
tile and but few carpeted. The win
dows are most all small and guarded
with iron bars, like prison. There
are usually lots of servants and but
few guests
One isn't long in Mexico before
the wonderful burdens that both man
and brute carry on their backs are
noticed. We in Colorado are used
to seeing pack animals loaded fairly,
but here it seems that the poor man
and poor woman can outdo the dom
key. Everything is carried on the
head, or on the back, with a strap

TO PAY CUBAN ARMY.
Efforts to Reconcile Radical Element
In Island to Our Plan.

Washington, Feb. 81. - Efforts are
making, with every prospect OF success
to reconcile the radical element among
the Cubans to the proposition or the
United States government to pay the
soldiers Of the Cuban cause S3 OO0, 900.
This Is expected to be accomplished
through a rather sweeping authorize
ton by the United States government
for the incurment of considerable loan
to make good the deficiency between
the sum the United States agrees 10
pay to the troops and the sum the Gu
ban leaders believe to be the smallest
that can be paid with benefit and due
regard to justice.
SO far the proposition has not taken
official shape here, but the administra-
ton has been quietly sounded by the
Cuban contingent, who have expressed
qualification at the prospects. Generai
Gomez himself is expected TO proach
the plan formally when he begins MS
conferences with General Brooke IN Ha-
vana. Gomez has arrived at Matan-
zas. making his-way very slowly toward
the capital ~ nS.
What is proposed is that the unlteo
States shall sanction the foatlng OIL
bonds by the Cuban municipalities or
provinces to the amount of S7Ooo,ooo'
which sum is to be paid over to CUBAN
troops in addition to the 1000 to be
paid by the United States The munic'-
palities are to set aside a certain pro-
portion Of the receipts from customs
and other sources of taxation to meet
the bonds.
In addition to this, the United States
government Is to be asked to sanction
the redemption out Of the customs re-
ceipts Of the bonds issued In aid OF the
Cuban rebellion to the amount OF w.
500, 900. Data, 1t Is stated here, Will De
produced by the Cuban assembly TO
show that every cent Of this sum was
expended in legitimate war expenses.

streeta Paved with Glass.

Washington, Feb. 21.-John c. covert
has written from Lyons to the state
department an interesting letter upon
new uses for glass. In 1t he tells OF
pavements of ceramic stone. or devitri-
fled glass, which have been laid on the
principal thoroughfares Of Lyons and
which. under heavy and continuous
traffic for several months, have SHOWN
no greater deterioration than marks the
similar life of stone pavements. he
says glass is being made into material
known as ceramo-crystal and Is being
widely used for buildings and interior
decorations much as cut stone.

TERMS:

1t is indeed matter of congratula-
ton and augurs we'll for our city when
the voters take 50 much interest in the
city campaign. Good men are lined up
in the opposing ranks. Each organiza-
ton has well defined politicians. "Pol-
itics make strange bedfellows," and
party lines are forgotten. We once
heard about campaign of education,
and our coming city election looks as
though it would have as forerunner, a
debate between taxpayers. We as vot-
ers, have duty to perform to the little
city nesting among the green hills.
Barre, at this stage of her progress,
makes heavy demands upon the time
and ability of her officials, and It's our
duty to see that such men are elected to
office as have the time, ability, and dis
position to look afer her best Interests
rather than their own. We acknowl-
edge with regret that the monetary COM
pensalion is little, and everyone knows
that a public Official has hard work
to always please even few citizens.
Still these men who run for public Of
fee know beforehand what they have
against them and they know the reward
they are to receive. and when they vol
unteer to take charge of the municipal
government, and are placed in positions,
OF trust by the voters they should be
held amenable for any betrayal of the
city's interest. Now, voters of Barre,
study the question carefully, pick your
and then support him at the
p ills.

One of Life's Trngedfes.

A story was told by London Truth
not long since and its correctness
vouched for. which shows the folly Of
acting hastily and impulsively in inn
portant concerns in life.
The son of very wealthy man at his
fathers death found himself free to in
dulge every whinl. He had yachts,
horses, an island on which he played
king at his pleasure. He was not an
immoral man, but idle and foolish.
One day while using long distance
telephone he was charmed by the voice
Of the operator at the other end Of the
line. He managed to discover that it
was that of woman. young, single
and pretty. In the course of few days
he convinced himself that the owner
of the voice was the one human being
who should be his wife and that life
would be empty and desolate without
her.
The girl was poor and listened to his
proposals. He cabled her money to buy
her trousseau and to secure chaperon
to accompany her to the town where he
resided.
In due time she arrived Her looks
were as attractive as her voice He
married her and a few days later was
found dead by his own hand in his
room. He left no explanation beyond
the words, 81 have made mistake,
scrawled on sheet Of paper left on the
