From careful inquiry among the tax
payers of this village and township, and
the opinion of men in different sections
of the township, we venture the pre-
diction that when the votes are counted
on April 9Th, next, not one dozen votes
will be registered from Burns township
against the proposition to build new
court house in the city of Corunna.
The people of this section know that
the new building is necessity, and, if
not settled now, will be brought before
them year after year until finally dis
posed of and the court house ordered
built.
1t is safe to say that the people will
pass favorably upon the resolution as
adopted by the Board of Supervisors,
and that the court house will be built
in Corunna, and on the site where the
old buildings now stand.

The Sugar Beet Meeting.
The beet sugar section of the insti-

tables had been removed and folding
chairs putin. About one hundred If

the culture OF sugar oeets, listened to
the valuable talks and discussion.
e. j. Cook, Of Maple River, was In
the chair, and the speakers were Colon
O. Lille, OF Coopersville; w. H. Gil
bert, Of Bay City; and Charles Derham,
Of Corunna. Mr.. Lille described the
soil most valuable for the culture of
of beets and the preparation of the
soil In the spring.
Mr.. Gilbert, who is the largest grow
er Of beets in Michigan although he
does not own an acre of ground under
beet cultivation, spoke on "Cultiva-.
tion and Care" and Mr.. Oerham spoke
on Harvesting the Crop" Although
Mr.. Derham is comparatively small
grower his experiences are valuable,
for he has persevered in the growing
OF beets for five seasons and has made
money. The first year he raised five
acres, the second year he doubled 1T;
the third year twenty-five acres were
planted; sixty acres were put in last

The first step is to secure dry con-
dition. Keep the bitches free and
deep. Clay roads should be wide, and
they will then be cut up less; twenty
four feet between bitches is about
right. Do not put sod In the middle
OF the road, as it will decay and make
the road bed soft. Build the clay
thoroughfares In the spring, and turn
pike them. Senator Palmer has been
