EUROPEAN ECONOIIC ALLIANCE
Under the presidency Of Duke Ernest
Guenther of Schleswig-Holstein Emper-
or Williams brother in-law, the Middle
European Economic Society has been
founded in Berlin after having been un-
der discussion for year in different forms
1t aims to procure the establishm ent ola
middle European economic alliance on
the lines proclaimed by Count Geluchow
ski. the Austro- Hungarian Minister Of,
foreign affairs, several years ago. The
president declared that the society was
formed to defend Germany from an over
flow of foreign goods to strengthen Ger
man capacity in the markets ofthe world
and, above all, to meet American com
petition. Prof. Julius Wolf, of Bres'au
a noted economist, explained that the
idea originated from observation Of Amer
lean progress, which was due to the
"boundless possibilities opened to that
energetic race by lis large and unified
domestic market" 1t was feasible, be
said. to introduce a greater division OF
labor and specialization both in Germany
and between the countries embraced IN
the plan of the Middle European society
with the view to cheapeniug production
A further step would be reform oil the
most favored nation principle which must
be broughtinto harmony with reciprocity
Probably the greater task OF the society
would be the creation of economic ALL
ances among nations with common inter
ests. The meeting was attended by loo
leading economists, politicians, manuiac-
turers, merchants and land owners. 1t
is intended to includein the scope of the
society's operations the powers forming
the triple alliance; also France, Switzer-
land, the Netherlands and Scandinavia.

farmers IN those states are getting
rich by replacing other crops with
boots.
At this date the acreage contracted
for by the Snake River Valley Sugar
company for 1905 Is very encouraging
Many farmers have learned by their
first years experience the things to
be avoided, and are feeling very con-
fldent of their ability to produce much
larger crops next year.
They have learned that the very best
land on the farm Is none too good for
sugar beets. that alfalfa plowed under
produces q wonderful crop, and that
early planting and earl cultlyatlng
pay well.
They have learned to keep the beets
growing In the early part Of the sea-
son, and when they have grown to be
OF good, fair size, about Sept. l. TO let
them rlpen so that they may be dug
early and allow the farmer an oppor-
tunity to prepare his land for another
season.
In conclusion It should be said that
great credit Is due 20 the farmers gem
orally who are raising beets for the
Snake River Valley Sugar company,
for the care they have given their crop
and the persistence and enterprise they
have displayed IN adopting n crop new
to their soil and In contending with
the difficulties arising from a late
start and dry weather last spring.
They may well expect easier work and
much better returns next season.

A Utah paper says; THE growth Of
the sugar beet industry In Utah has
been phenomenal In 1891 the sugar
extracted at Lehi was 10 pounds per
ton Of beets, which rose in 1901 TO 2Sj
pounds. In 1859 the factory expense IN
working a ton Of beets In Alavardo
Cal, was 1915, while in 1897 II had
been reduced to s27l, or a decrease OK

Ten years ago FIVE or six tons per
acre was an average crop. Today
twice that amount Is less than an aver
age, while a harvest of from 70 to 80
tons is not uncommon, 1t Is crop for
sure returns.
The price Of $3.50 per ton for beets
was established at time when sugar
sold for ti5 per sack in San Francisco,
and TO this date when sugar sells for
about one-third that amount, the price
for bects IS stlll the same. The agri-
