SUGAR BEET CULTURE.
VIII be Engaged in the Coming SeasoI
by the Advancement Association.

| VIII be Engaged in the Coming SeasoI
by the Advancement Association.
The Watertown Advancement asso
clatlon has entered upon a venture
which it is hoped may result in the
ultimate location of beet sugar fac
tory here. At meeting held last
Thursday evening it was decided to
engage in the raising of sugar beets
in this secoio n the coming season as a
means of testing the adaptability of
the soil. The members present were
of the opinion that if the conditions
proved favorable and the farmers ex-
hibited a willingness, after the test
had been made, to grow beets, sub
scriptions for factory here next
spring could be secured,
The plan in hand is for the asso-
citation to rent about 100 acres of land
from neighboring farmers, plant the
same with beet seed, cultivate the
CROP and when harvested ship the
beets to the Wisconsin Sugar company
at MenOminee Falls for manufacture in
to sugar. To carry out this plan it was
estimated that about $4,000 cash
would be required; so a committee of
two members was appointed to solicit
the ecessary amount, which we un-
derstand has already been subscribed.
The expense to be incurred is not
alone for land rentals, but for hired
help, hauling to market. etc. Seed
is provided by the Wisconsin Sugar
company and the cost deducted from
the purchase price of the crop. Of
course, when the crop is paid for the
subscribers will be reimbursed for the
funds advanced, together. it is expect
ed, with a profit averaging about $40
per acre.
Besides the work which the Ad-
vancement association will carry out
along the line of sugar beet culture
the coming season. farmers individu-
ally should set aside small parcels of
land for the same purpose, and thus
the project would be given thorough
test. If the conditions prove favor
able and factory is the eventual re
suit, 1t will mean great industry for
our city and surrounding country, as
a considerable force, both skilled and
unskilled, is required to operate the
plant, and the farmers will be afforded
an additional profit-making opportun-
ity.

The Election.
Observation-Disclosures Mayor

Balance of Democratic City Tick
ct Also Goes In.

Very little interest was apparent on
the surface at yesterdays municipal
election anu the day passed quietly
and without incident. Notwithstand-
Ing this seeming apathy an unusually
large vote for spring election was
recorded, the total on the head of the
ticket reaching 1926.
1t was the general opinion that the
contest over the mayoralty would be
close, and such it proved to be. John
j. Brusenbach. Democrat, was sue
cessful over his Republican opponent.
y. L. Moak, by the narrow margin of
l3o. Considering the fact that Mr..
Moak stood as a candidate solely on
his merits, and gave practically no
attention to campaigning, he made
most excellent run, to which any Re-
publican in this Democratic strong
hold might point with pride. The
First ward, bciug the home of both
candidates, was the principal fighting
ground, and Mr.. Moak carried it by Z
majority. However, this showing was
not nearly so good as his supporters
had confidently expected in this pre-
cinct The Third ward proved the
banner Republican ward, giving Moak
~ majority and electlng John Chap.
man as alderman. Mr.. Chapman
was. the only successful Republican
candidate in the city.
For city treasurer Albert Fuermann
walked away with his opponent, Will
liam Gorder, to the tune of 754 major
lty and showed himself to be the most
popular Democrat Of the day. w. j.
Stacy was elected assessor over F. w.
Oelschlaeger by sol majority, while
the other Democratic assessor, Gus
tave Gloger, went in without opposi-
ton.
There were some spirited contests
over several of the ward Offices, not
ably IN the Second, where DIR. A. H.
Hartwlg, Rep. was defeated for alder
man by only 81 votes, and in the Third,
where M. j. Burke. DEM, lacked 6
votes of election. John T. Ryan, the
Democratic nominee. defeated S. Nj
Eaton for alderman of the Fourth by
q majority. In tie Fifth ward George
w. Hill. Rep, ran ahead of his ticket
for alderman, but could not overcome
the large Democratic majority.
