Experiment Station, for the purpose of
determining the percentage of sugar the
beet contains, and also for the purpose
OF exhibiting the process by which the
result is obtained.
E d. Gould owns fine farm Of 400
acres near Onondaga When he found
that this section lay i'll the sugar belt he
determined to give thorough test to
the financial problem of raising them
and the result is so gratifying that his
land is worth $25 per acre more than
when he started. He planted 20 acres
to sugar beets this spring and kept a
faithful record of every cent expended
on them, including the cost of imple-
ments, care for horses wages of men,
their board, etc, which amounts TO less
than $50 per acre to date, and small
additional sum will place them aboard
cars for shipment TO the factory. He
expects to get IS tons of beets per acre,
and at s. 66 per ton he says it is better
than raising wheat Mich. Sugar Beet

which has been damaging sugar beets

pected that the damage will be serious.

Farmers who contemplate growing
sugar beets next season should see that
all rag weeds, III fact, all weeds about
the farm are cut down this fall and kept
down III the spring Several Of the in
sects which have been working on beets
this season come from the rag weed and
other weeds. They should not be al
lowed to go to seed

featured by the American Beet Sugar
Company to their rehouse. The &C.
casionwas observed with placards on the
wagons similar 10 the announcement in
this issue Of the Courier. The sugar is
of the highest grade put on the market,
and made from the finest and richest
beets that ever grew, and made in "the
model beet factory of the world" Asa
memento Of the event, photo was

summer. He sowed small patch last
spring and has taken good care of them.
few days ago he pulled two rods of
one row and counted and weighed the
same. He had "a beets and they weighed
100 pounds. The rows are Is inches
apart. At this rate his beets will go
about Al tons TO the acre. The beets
were trimmed as they should be for the

sugar beet, instead of the German as
sown by the Alma sugar beet growers.

Samples Of sugar beets raised on the
farm of Freeman Smith by Myer and
Henry Himelhoch, were sent to the
Agricultural College at Lansing last
week to be tested. The following is the
| result Of the test as received from the
chemist on Monday. Per cent. of sugar
found in beet juice, 1906; purity of
juice, 10. At this rate the beets would
be worth 81 3712 per ton, which is con-
sidered good average considering the
very dry weather. 1t is claimed by
! those, who are in position to know,
that with good heavy rain within the
next few days the beets would increase

Ex- Justice Willard Bartlett, of the
Appellate Division of New York, recent
ly delivered an address before the Med
ical Association of that state in which
he spoke earnestly on the subject OF
Medical expert testim ony. He pointed
out that the paid expert witness is apt
to construe his functions to be those OF
an assistant counsel on the side that
employs him. He declared that when
ever this is done "the test imony is par
tisan and of doub tful value" He re-
garded it as violation of medical
ethics, which, he said, should be as
binding as statute upon every physi-
clan. The expert witness, it is true,
has scientific reputation to maintain,
and to that extent is more creditable
than an ordinary hired witness. But
the fact that he testifies for wage
paid by one of the parties to the con-
troversy certainly tends to invalidate
his testimony in all honest minds.

Help the Cause.

There has never been political cam
paign that will equal in Importance
that of the one to be fought next year.
The republican party, backed by the
money power Of this country and
Europe, is alert and aggressive. Flush.
ed with the victory of three years ago
it will seek by every means in its power
to maintain its supremacy.
Democrats must be up and doing.
They must wage an unceasing war up
on their enemies. In no better and
more effective way can this be done
than by the circulation of good, sound
democratic newspapers. The publisher
of the Chicago Dispatch, the great natl
onal democratic weekly, will send to
every new subscriber for three months
copy of the Chicago Dispatch for ten
cents. If you are not already taking
the great political weekly, send in ten
cents at once. You should not only do
this yourself, but you should induce all
your friends to join with you. By q
little effort you can easily raise club
of ten or twenty subscribers.
The Chicago Dispatch is Endorsed by
William Jennings Bryan and other
democratic leaders.
