SUGAR BEET EXPERIMENTS.
Extracts from Newspaper Bulletin. NJ
80, Indiana Experiment Station.

Extracts from Newspaper Bulletin. No.
90, Indiana Experiment Station.
For the past thirteen years the Indi-
ana agricultural experiment station has
been conducting experiments in sugar
beets in Indiana. The main purpose
of this work has been to determine
whether or not sugar beets might be
protitsoly grown in this state for sugar
producing purposes.
Since 1888 inclusive, we have bad ex-
perimental plats of beets in one or
more parts of the state In 1890 there
were eight of these; In 1891, 3S; in 1892,
80; in 1893, 27; in 1894, AZ; in 1896, 3; in
1897, 143. In 1898 the station sent seed
to ,l69 persons over the state, while in
1899 and 1900 large amounts of seed
we're distributed. which farmers agreed
to grow under the direction of the sts-
tion. For years growers bave planted
one-eighth acre or more of beets under
our instructions.
As result of this work q great num-
Der of samples of the beets from nearly
seventy counties in the state have been
received at the station and their sugar
contents determined. We have now on
our record large amount of informa-
tion as q result of these years of work
which is favorable to the profitable pro-
duction of sugar beets in the northern
third of Indiana on certain soil suited
to this crop.
The station has decided to discon-
tlnue further distribution of beet seeds
to our people and to largely curtail its
sugar beet Investigations.
Some time early in 1901 a bulletin
will be published by the station giving
a record of the sugar beet work of this
institution during the past thirteen
years and the results attained. This
will be mailed free to anyone desiring 8
a copy of the same.

who speaks out plainly. The pri-

candidates have accepted the results
as final, others are not so well sat

The Democrats are not all satisfied
with results; as many went into the
primary thinking that it was a
straight Democratic affair. But
after the battle was over, it turned
out that abo ut sixty or seventy five
Republicans voted, many of whom we
are aware was bought and paid for
their vote. One little crowd of
thirteen sold for SO cash paid by
two men way up on the head of the
ticket. Now as Democratic pri-
mary this does not now, nor will not
suit the people. While many of us
do not feel like kicking out of the
harness, many will kick hard. The
matter cannot now be mended, but
we should in the future AVOID the
rock on which we will split this fall,
if we do split, which we stand good
chance of doing in this district and
in fact it is believed that this was q
pre-arranged plan for that purpose.

ing that the Republicans and delin

medicine. SO if we go down in de
feat this fall we know where to Law
the blame. Is there no law to pre-.

If not is there no remedy for thus
state of affairs ? Has the man who
