THE bet SUGAR AWARDS.

The award OF MIR. Hayemeyers $500
loving cup to the beet growers Of Titan
IL specially gratifying, and 1t VIII do
much 20 relieve the disappointment felt
for the loss OF the fruit EXHIBIT prize.
There are several phases Of the decis-
lon in the beet sugar contest which
make II of special interest One Is that
the winner should come from the com
paratively new beet growing districts In
the Bear River valley, this being only
the second year that beet culture has
been engaged in there, while In other
counties of Utah, the industry has been
going on for " years or more. Another
equally surprising Is that the prize
should have gone to Utah at ALL since
one Of her competitors was California,
where the beet sugar industry has been
thriving for 30 years past That one
Of the judges who made the award came
from California, the other hailing from
Colorado, q state which has also made
some distinguished records In the sugar
beet industry, Is a fact worth being
noted
The high quality OF all the beets sub
mltted to the tests is something that
our farmers should find special salts
faction In. Mr.. Rhodes samples from
Garland scored 90 out of possible rs
points; the Utah Sugar company's
beets. also from the Garland fields, sec
ond in the award, won 92, and the third
winners. the Austin Bros. OF ReXburg,
were accorded SIS. With such results as
these. II Is not too much to expect that
the new and rapidly growing sugar in

claimed and hoped for II, in the devel-

The Divide Country.

/ We are accustomed too much to lool;
on the misfortunes of others with an un-
seeing eye, while any personal adversely
| is magniiied to an unreasonable extent
And this is not only true as to the in.
dividual, but is also the case in our com
parison of our own country with others.
II it is dry for any length of time here,
fnces commence to lengthen, and the
people begin to figure up how much
they will be short after harvesting the
crops Just planted.
But an absolute failure never comes
here, as it SO often does in some other
states, and when crops are unusually
short the ranchman of the Divide
country usually gets a better price for
his produce to almost offset the de
ficiency. Another point TO be thought
OF in comparing this country with others,
particularly our neighbor states on the
north and east, is that land is so much
more reasonable here than there that a
man does not have such a heavy capital
invested to the acre, and consequently
gets fairer dividend for his investment,
proportionally, than his neighbor.
High winds are unknown here-if the
wind is strong enough to move n board
few feet, or demolished an outbuilding.
ii is looked on as an event, and is re-
membered for years; but We forget that
in the Mississippi valley from the Da-
lotas to the Gulf whole tows are yearly
wiped from the map and are as If they
had never existed.
II the waters rise and sweep away a
few tons of hay from our meadows and
perhaps float off some small house, or a
30 foot bridge, or one or two head Of cat
tie, we raise our hands in horror; but our
neighbors are not so fortunate. Large
districts in Kansas and Missouri have
been under water since Friday, May 20,
and the damage done to growing crops
and stock is beyond our capacity to esti-
mate; while lives are lost daily by the
score. In the little city of Topeka, Kas.,
out of total population Of 81, 600, 10000
people are homeless. and had to leave
their houses without handful Of cloth.
ing beside what they wore when they
were compelled to flee for their lives.
Let us not look for a Paradise-man
inhabited Paradise once, but was unable
to realize his benefits: he had whole
orchard for the use Of himself and wife,
but he could not be satisfied because
there was one apple tree with fence
around it. And ever since that time man
has been unable to find a land where all
perfections are combined; but the Divide
country is far above the average, and as
free from faults and imperfections as any
country on the face OF the globe.
