Sugar Beets and Land
Values.

The value of an acre of land de-
pcnds upon the amount of cash it
will pay its owner each year, and
its value cannot legitimately rise
above this basis, Here is where
the great profit in general comes
from the establishment of the fac
tory and the growing of sugar
beets. Land which has heretofore
produced, when cultivated in ordi-
nary farm crops of alfalfa and
grain, from seven to ten dollars an
acre net to the owner, is capable
of producing, when properly grown
to sugar beets, from fifty to sew
enty dollars per acre, besides CIV
ing permanent employment to at
least four times the number of
laborers. Hence We can see in the
starting of every factory the solu-
tion of two great problems, the in
crease in land value and tn. main
tenance of a fourfold greater pop
ulation.-Sugar City Herald.

Prattville, May 13.-(Special. )-The business men are petitioning the Mo- bile and Ohio Railroad officials to give this place a better schedule out of Montgomery. as under the present schedule citizens do not get any Sum day mail until late in the afternoon, and tben a small pouch from the west. The Sunday Advertiser now arrives Monday that is, it is distributed Mon- day morning. Some of the citizens have been arranging to get The Sun day Advertiser. but it is a great hard ship. for those who wish to have a pa- per to read to have to send to the city of Montgomery. The complaint against the schedule is very general, extending all up the line throughout the country. The Prattville postmaster calls att~nr tion to curious fact, that the receipts of the postoffice. since the new sched- ule went into effect, are nearly oue- third off from the average for the past twelve months. He furthert says that he does not get as much incoming mail as usual.
