BEET SUGAR IN MICHIGAN.
Edward n. Parker Discusses the
Needs and Situation of the In.
dustry for This Year.

Among the vast agricultural and
manufacturing factors which have con-
tributed to the material welfare of a
great commonwealth, special attention
is just now centering in Michigan's beet
sugar industry. Thanks to the potent
influence welded by the combined fru-
gality and enterprise of the farming
elements, the experimental stage is
oyer, and the success of great indus
try is practically assured. 1t is inter
esting to note that in the successful de-
velopment of this industry the interests
of farmer and manufacturer are identi-
cal. The success Of one reflects the sue
cess of the other.
In this connection the situation in
Michigan is now such as to enable the
presentation of facts and figures that
will both interest and surprise not only
the jealous economist and the watch
full investor, but the public generally.
In Michigan today 10000 farmers are
raising beetssfor conversion into sugar,
This means that 100, 900 persons living
in the agricultural districts are directly
interested and benefited by the beet
sugar business Of Michigan. The
average value Of one ton of beets is
$500. The Detroit Sugar company has
paid as high as $7.07 per ton to growers
in Michigan for beets. The total in
vestment of the Michigan sugar COM
panies is $40, 900, 900. The amount paid
to farmers last.year was SO, 1O7. 500; the
estimate for the current year is a, OOO,-
600.
Aside from the expected crop of beets,
which is estimated at about 775, 900
tons, the sugar factories of Michigan
will use this year about 10000 tons of
coal, large part Of which comes from
this state, the value Of which will be
about 1926, 600. In addition there will
be consumed some 60, 600 tons of Michi-
gan limestone, valued at $4,000 The
money paid for labor alone at 13 sugar
factories in 1901 amounted to 1902, 1870.
This year, with the factories that have
since come into existence, this large pay
roll will be increased to about 81, 200,
0O0. This distribution Of money among

BaSeu' nc regarus not equal, but double
taxation. He believes that the law to
assess mortgages should be abolished
and a strict usuary law reducing the
rate per cent, be enacted and rigidly en-
forced. The present law of taxing
mortgages tends to drive money loaners
out of the state, and works injury to the
resident money loaners, because the
nonresident money loaner has no taxes
to pay upon money loaned upon mort
cages within the state. He advises the
separation of State and county taxation,
whereby the expense of the board of
state tax commissioners would be saved
and that a law should be enacted to COM
pei professional and high salaried men,
to pay tax on their income, the same
as laboring men, farmers and other
property owners

Mrs. Rush in reply to the question,
Can the mother make home alone, or
should the father do his share? said
The duties of the home are many and as
the home is the fathers home as well as
the mothers, the father should assist in
every way possible to make the home,
especially in planning for the pleasures,
not only for the wife but for the chill
dren as well, The responsibilities of
the home life should fall alike upon
both the father and the mother, each
sharing with the other their joys and
sorrows, never losing sight of the little
acts of kindness, which constitute the
principle features Of an ideal home

AVERAGE ACE LONGER
Statement Issued by the Census
Bureau Setting Forth a
Pleasing Fact.

Washington, Sept. 4.-The census bu-
reau today issued a statement showing
the increasing age % the population
from decade 10 decade. The statement
gives the results of computing the me-
dian instead OF the average age. The
median is such an age that half the
population is under il. and half is over
II
The median age Of the total popula-
ton in 1900 was 22S, as compared with
2l.9 in 1880. The median age of the
white population in the last census year
was PA, and the colOred. including ne
grOes. Indians and MOngolians. was 1871.
while in 1880 the white population was
pa and the colored 1873.
The report shows there was an in
crease in the median age of the white
population during each decade from
1910 to 1900. amounting. in the 90 years.
TO "a years, or an average of about
fiye-sixths of year in decade. The
median age OF the cOiored population
increased after 1880. but with less regu-
larity. The medlan age OF the col
ored population Increased three years
in the seventy year period from 1880
10 1900. or only about half as fast as
last twenty years of the century. the
increase of the two groups has been
substantially the same, 10 years for the
colored and two years for the white
The statement concludes as follows:
Many complex influences have coop
Grated in producing as a resultant this
steady change in the age composition
OF the population. Three may be men
toned. the rapid progress Of medical
and sanitary science which has ten
dered TO increase the average length Of
life: the decrease in the relative num-
Der of children born. which has made
the earlier age periods less prepOnder-
ant numerically in the total population,
and the influx, especially since 1870. OF
great numbers of adult immigrants,
Increasing the number in the older age
periods. The Inference between the
white and cOlored population is doubt
less due 10 the fact that the influences
have wrought more powerfully upon
the white race than upon the colored.
