SUGAR BETS IN KANSAS.

For many years the scientists
contended that Kansas soil and
climate were unftfor the success
full cultivation of sugar beets. A
map issued by the national De-
partment of Agriculture leaves
Kansas out of the sugar beet dis
trict. But farmers in the west
ern part of the state insisted that
they could grow beets with prof
it. The experiments made this
year show that these farmers had
something substantial upon
which to rest their case.
Sugar beet seed comes from
Germany where the vegetable
has been cultivated for more than
a century. In Germany the av-
erage yield is fourteen tons to
the acre. and there is good
money in the beets for the grow
ers. But in the counties of vest
ern Kansas the late experiments
show that from twenty to forty
tons can be raised on an acre,
and the per cent of sugar in the
kansas product is even higher
than that of the German variety.
Sugar beets sold on the ground
this year for five dollars a ton.
Counting twenty-five tons fair
yield, the return would be $125
an acre. The cost Of raising an
acre of beets is about $35. This
would leave a profit of 500 an
acre. Is there any other crop
chat pays better?
The state will have $4,000 to
pay for bounty on sugar beets
next year. The experiment
should be continued. If sugar
beets can be grown all over the
West, the fact ought to be de-
monstrated next year. Perhaps
this is the solution to the west
ern problem. That country may
be called upon to furnish a large
part of the sugar used in the
United States. The possibilities
are great. Let there be no sto D
until the question is settled

Slap at the Soldier State,


] The Atchison Globe, a Erepub-
lican paper, says of the appoint
ment of Wilder S. Metcalf to the
.. S.. pension agency:
"CoI. Metcalf, who succeeds Cy
Leland, drilled a. lot of tin sol
diers at Lawrence and then went
to the Philippines, where he saw
afew months service. CyLeland
served all through the civil war,
and the giving of the pension
agency to Metcalf makes Kansas
one OF only two places in the
country where the pension agent
is not an old soldier. And Kan
sas is the banner soldier state of
the union. Metcalf parts his
hair in the middle and no doubt
can talk Spanish. Cy Leland
wasn't SO bad; we have heard
lots Of stories on him, but all of
them have lacked confirmation.
We're rather sorry he's busted.s'

SUPPOSE Governor Leedy had
been as small-bore as his sue
cessor in office, and had appoint

reasons, instead of giving the

Or, had Stanley been of the same

not worked an advancement of

it ia the second. If that is done, or II
any other change is made that Will
take Terrell county out of the Second

GOOD ROADS.

1t is very probable that the grand
iurv which will convene next Monday
morning will consider and adopt plans
looking to better public roads in Ter
rell county. We need roads that, are
passable the whole year. Good roads
are in the interest of the farmer, the
merchant, the timberman and every
other citizen. The Bainbridge Search
light briefly but strongly sets tsrth
the advantages of them as follows;
"First, they enchance the value OF
farming prospects. Secondly, they
give the farmer better opportunity to
market his products Lastly, they
save the wear, and tear on stock and
vehicles. One, of the necessary requi-
sites for the rural free delivery OF
mail is good roads. This is conVen-
fence the postalsauthorities are giving
the farmers free of cost"
Let us have good roads.
