1t would be unwise for all farmers
to go to growing wheat again. The
experience of the past has taught
us that when we grow more wheat
than is required for home consump-
tion the price of our product is fixed
by the California market and we all
remember how uncertain that market
is. This year however we produced
less wheat than was required for
home consumption and our farmers
received a good price for what they
grew. With the prospect of an increas-
ed acreaged Of beets the Indications
are that an average wheat crop this
season will bring good price.
Every merchant should use his
influence to encourage beet culture
for his prosperity depends largely
upon it.

Sugar Beet Growing.

Occasionally we hear some farmers
complaining because of their failure
to make as much money out Of their
sugar beet crop last season as they
anticipated.
Some Of them are inclined to blame
the sugar factory for the failure, and
in some instances they have accused
the factory of changing seed and
giving them poor grade or a grade
that would produce smaller beet
than was grown two years ago.
We have made some inquiries into the
causes that lead to the partial failure
of the crops and we find that the seed
was identical with the seed used the
previous year, in fact most Of it was
carried over from that year. In a
number Of instances efforts was made
to grow beets on land unfit for beet
culture. Some other crops failed be-
cause they were not watered at the
proper time, but the greater difficulty
was the cool dry weather.
Farmers should bear in mind that
it requires some exper fence to grow
beets. We have got to learn how to
cultivate them and adopt them to our
land and we cannot do this in one
season nor two. If therefore we fail
one season we should not get dis
couraged and jump at the conclusion
that there is no money in beet cul-
ture.
In Utah County similar difficulties
were met with that we are meeting but
they have overcome them and are
now making money.
They tried for two or three years
in Colorado 10 make a success of beet
growing but couldnot do so until they
sent to Lehi for young men to teach
them the business.
Everything points to a very favor
able season for the beet grower this
year. The heavy SHOWS assure US

MONDAY SESSION

MONDAY SESSION
The greater part of the Monday
session was taken up with reports
from the Bishops of the various Wards
and the Stake organizations. The
general officers of the Church and
Stake were presented and sustained by
a vote of the people.
Apostle Merrill spoke some on the
subject of tithing and urged the peo-
pie to keep up with church in this
respect.
Referring to the subject Of beet
growing he said the sugar factory
was a great blessing in the commun-
ity and he advised the farmers to grow
all the beets they could and it would
prove blessing to them.
In regard to administering to the
sick the speaker thought that the
people did not attach the Importance
to it that they should do. 1t is a
sacred ordinance and should not be
made too common. Did not think it
was right to administer to people in a
public meeting, nor to consecrate oil
in public places. Administrations
should be attended to at home, and
oil should be consecrated in proper
places.
Urged the people not to neglect or
their temple work but to attend to it
while they could. 1t was an import
ant work and should not be neglected
or put off. 1t is reality and those
for whom it is done know Of 1t and
are permitted sometimes to come and
associate with the workers. If we
neglect it we will regret it.
Apostle Woodruff urged the people
to look after their children and see that
they are taught the gospel. Confirmed

administering to the sick etc.

GERMAN TRADE CONDITIONS.
Exports to the United States Show
Large Increase.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Reviewing
Germans commercial record for the
past year, Consul General Frank H.
Mason, at Berlin, in a report to the
state department, declares that while
a few branches of manufacture and
trade experienced a partial recovery
the year as a whole belonged to the
period of over-production, collapse and
panic, which began in the summer of
1900, and has caused the condition
still prevalent, wherein prices of food
and raw materials are above all logi-
cal relation to the market values of
finished products.
Referring to German trade with the
United States, the consul general calls
attention to the notable increase in
German exports to this country,
amounting to STATISTIC, distributed
through twenty-five consular districts.

WINSCONCESS|ON
3POONER ACT TO BE Tackled TO
CANAL TREATY.
EIGHT OPPOSING PAMPHLETS
The Senator from Alabama Prints and
Distributes Number of voIuminous
Documents Attacking the Isthmian
Protocol.

WASHINGTON-Senator Morgan
on Friday secured his first material
concession in connection with the
canal treaty. This consists of an
agreement to attach the Spooner ca
nal act bodily to the treaty.
This change was made in compli-
ance with a request presented by
Ssenator Lodge during the days exc
cutiVe session of the senate who sug-
gested that no injury could result, and
unanimous consent was given to the
proposal. 1t was specifically stipulat-
ed, however, that it did not amount to
an amendment.
Senator Morgan consumed the en-
tire time of the remainder of tie clos
ed session discussing the canal Ques-
tion from various points of view. He
discussed particularly the attitude of
the isthmian canal commission.
He expressed desire to have cop
les of the correspondence between the
government and the NV Panama Ca
nal company on the option to pur-
chase the canal for $40,0OO,0OO, and
the senate consented to request the
secretary of state for the correspond
ence.
The papers had not arrived at $3.50
and as Senator Morgan said he could
not continue without them, Senator
Cullom moved that the senate ad-
journ, and this motion prevailed.
During the day there was more or
less informal discussion of the propo-
sition to permit Senator Morgan to
publish his remarks in the Congress
sionai Record but no effort was made
to reach decision. Senator Cullom
takes the position that this permis-
sion should not be granted unless
Senator Morgan will agree to allow a
day to be fixed for vote.
During the day. Senator Morgan dis
tributed copies of eight pamphlets on
the treaty, in which he attacks it from
almost every conceivable ground. He
declares the new canal company lille
gally constructed, the arrangements
with Colombia of doubtful validity,
and repeats his charges of bribery.

sENATE COMMITTEE DlsPosEs OF
ONE PROTOCOL.
CUBAN TREATY ON WEDNESDAY
Some Think 1t an Important Question
That Might Be Delayed Until Regu-
lar Session of congress-MisceI-
Ianeous Washington Matters.

WASHINGTON.-The senate COM
mittee on foreign relations on Monday
agreed to favorably report the Colon
bian canal treaty to the senate.
| No action was taken on the Cuban
or other reciprocity treaties. The
Colombian treaty was reported, as in
the former session, without amend
ment.
| When the senate went into executive
session, Senator Cullom reported the
treaty and it was ready at length, as
the rules OF the senate require. I'm
| der the rules an objection carried the
treaty over for one day before it could
be considered.
Senator Morgan objected to its con-
sideration. He stated that he desired
to have the Spanish copy of the treaty
so as to compare it with the English
text. 1t is expected that a draft in
Spanish will be sent to the senate by
the state department.
Members of the committee on for
eign relations express the opinion that
there will not be any great delay in
the ratification of the treaty. In the
committee meeting Senator Clark of
Montana, who succeeds Senator
Bailey as member, was present.
During the session of the committee
Senator Morgan offered to consent to
vote on the canal treaty on Satur-
day, providing the senate would allow
him to print such remarks as he want
ed in the Congressional Record, or as
public document.
Members of the committee later dis
cussed the proposition with other
senators and the consensus of opinion
seemed to be against granting this
permission. Some of the remarks here
tofore made by Senator Morgan re-
fiected rather severely on the Colon
bian government, and especially on
the presiednt of Colombia, and sena-
tors think it would be inadvisable to
give official sanction to such utter
ances. 1t also is feared that the
Colombian government might take Of
fense and fail to ratify the treaty.
The committee will take up the
Cuban treaty on Wednesday. Quite a
number of democratic senators are op- |
posed to it, and while they say they |
have no desire to prevent vote, they |
intend briefly to speak. The repub-
licans count on three or four more |
votes than the necessary two-thirds
majority to ratify it. There is prob
ability of some discussion of the con-
stitutional rights of the senate to
make a treaty affecting the revenues
of the government without concur
renee of the house of representatives.
Some opponents of the treaty have
said that they think it is such an i'm
portant question that it might be de-
layed until the regular session of con-
gress. Others have suggested that
there should be an amendment pro-
viding that the treaty should not be-
come operative until its provisions
have been approved by the house.
Some members of the committee
think that this much disputed ques-
ton ought to go to the supreme court
and be settled there. 1t is the present
intention of the committee to press
the treaty to a vote as soon as the
Colombian protocol is out of the way.
