The change in subscription
price of The Grit Advocate, which
we announced would be made

those who pay their subscriptions
in advance. A very large major
ity of our subscribers pay for tse
paper year in advance, and to
these the price will remain as it
now is-S1.00 per year. Those
who do not pay in advance will be
charged at the rate of Sl.5O per
year. We believe that this price
will cause nearly all of our sub
scribcrs to take advantage of the
lower rate, and we think that 1t
will be satisfactory to them. We

FRIDAY. DECEMBER rs. 1908.
Beet Association Closes Business

The affairs OF the JuleSburS
Beet Growers Association were
closed up Monday evening, and
all stockholders who have not yet
received what was coming to them
in money can receive it by calling
ut the Citizens bank. The state
ment of the receipts and expendi-
lures, published in another col
umn of this paper, shows a loss
of nearly 80 per cent of the mon
ey invested. This loss was due
to the low tonnage Of the beets
and the high cost of raising and
marketing the crop. The forty
five acres produced only a little
more than five tons to the acre,
owing to the fact that the beets
could not be irrigated when they
needed it. Had the season been
more favorable the tonnage would
have been doubled and there
would haye been profit instead
of a loss. However, even though
the members of the association
lost nearly one-half of the money
they invested, the experiment can
not he considered Il failure. The
fact has been demonstrated that
sugar beets can be protitably
grown here when the conditions
are at all favorable; it has also
been proven that the beets raised
in this locality possess high per-
centage of sugar, those shipped
to Grand Island testing 1874 per
cent sugar, with a high degree of
purity. A number of farmers in
the county, who were induced to
try the experiment by the efforts
of the Julesburg association,
made handsome profits. One of
them, It. w. Jenkins, raised
three acres and cleared about
$1,000 per acre. Hans Heldt and
E. ]. Frederick did equally as
well, while nearly all of those who
raised beets on their own sccount
made some money. Therefore
because the Julesburg association
failed to show profit on the
years business, there is no reas-
on why the culture of sugar beets
in the county should not continue
next year on larger scale than
this year. The association was
handicapped by the scarcity of
labor, the unfavorable location as
to irrigation of the land and lack
of experience in beet growing.
The Julcsburg association has
probably gone permanently out
of business, bat this fact will not
deter private individuals from
continuing to raise sugar beets.

THE NEED Of A STITCH IN
TIME.

The old adage. "tllat a stitch in
time saves nine,1 might proftably
become the motto of our town,
both individually and collectively.
There is no public spirited citi
Zen who doesnot regret the GOWN
at the heels, out ofrepair condI-
tion of real estate in his own or
immediate neighborhoods. Be
sides being unslghtly, the depre
ciation in value of such property
can but effect the corporation
within which it stands. Stringen
cy of the times and individual
mlsiortunes are often the cause
of failure to keep dwellings and
premises in repair, but too often,
it is the neglect of the resident to
attend TO small decays and deiapl
datloEs when "the stitch in time"
would DC available. A small leak.
which could be Iemedied at {;
trltiing expense, is permitted to
continue, aud III short time de
faced walls aud falling plaslering,
call for still greater outlay in re
pairs. The mailing on of a loose
paling or plank, is a small matter.
SO small that it is neglected until
the paiing mas been appropriated
by some dcquiSitive negro, to
klndle his fire, aud the expense Of
buying and painting a new picket
is the nine stitches which could
have been saved by one, II put in
at the proper time.
Not only are private residences
and public buildings of our town
subject to delays of the needed
stitch in time, but all through our
sunny Southland there is undoubt
ed evidence of neglect to remedy
the wear and tear of time. Lana
begins to wear thin from the con
tlnued planting of exhausting
crops, and both tenant and land
lord deter the remedy until the
oyer burGened soil will scarcely
,sprout weeds, and only years of
judicious cultivation, with resto
rative fertilizers, can remedy the
abuse. And so the waste of time
and money, and the consequent
depreciation of property goes on.
aud neither as people or as in
dlviduals are we benefited. Onl
the contrary, there is a stigma at
,ached to southern carelessness,
and an all too apparent lack of
proper pride on the part Of the |
small property owner. Because
this neglect of 'sthe stitch in timen
is a prevailing custom, in our
land of freedom and independ |
ence, there is no reason why il
should become popular. Be you
tenant or be you landlord, refuse
to waste time, money and life,
putting in nine stitches where
one would do, and make sure YOU
take your stitch in ume to pre-
vent Poverty from Claiming you
as willing subject.
