New Agreements in Michigan.

The Michigan Beet Sugar Manufac-
turer's Association has at last come to
the realization that the sugar beet grow
ers are the fundamental factor in the
manufacture of beet sugar, and that no
satisfactory development of the industry
is possible without due recognition of
the interests of those who grow the raw
material for the factories. Unless the
farmers can grow sugar beets at a profit,
the manufacturers can never rely on
making the production of beet sugar a
permanent success.
The new agreement reached by the
Michigan Beet Sugar Manufacturers
Association at their recent meeting in
Bay City, Mich, offers to sugar beet
farmers the choice of three forms of
contracts They can either contract to
deliver beets at the factory at fiat rate
OF So per ton, or they may accept rate
of rs per ton, delivered on cars the
factories paying the freight; or they
may stick to the old method of receiving
81 so per ton for 12 per cent beets and
33b cents additional for each per cent of
sugar in the beet above IL per cent. At
the same time, the management of the
various factories have agreed not to cut
into each other's territories.
There is no doubt that this is rea-
sonable solution of the difficulties that
have beset the industry in Michigan in
former campaigns. The fiat rate of S.
per ton will appeal to those farmers who
care more for the production of large
tonnage than for a careful elevation of
the quality of the beets, while the extra
premium on high sugar contents will
appeal to those who aim to breed up
their beets and carry on the cultivation
of the beets on scientific principles.
Finally, the agreement of the factories
to respect each others territories will be
a means of developing their own legiti-
mate territories and of maintaining
beet prices at more stable level than
heretofore. The result will certainly
be satisfactory TO both farmers and
manufacturers. Sugar Beet Gazette.

Sugar Beet Notes.

Get the beet land for next season
plowed this fall.
William Barker, of New Baltimore:
''The sugar beet crop is the best crop on
the farm this year. The factories should
get plenty of acreage another year"
The big dyke which is, being built
around the Prairie farm south of this
city, will be completed this week, rem
dering danger from high water very re-
mote in the future. This dyke takes in
5000 of 0,976 acres, which go to make
up the farm. The crops this year in :.
clude 500 tons of hay, 800 acres of beets,
and 400 acres of buckwheat. The stock
comprises 400 head of cattle, and so
horses. Manager E. T. Bowen expects
to winter 500 head of cattle This years
beet crop was unusually satisfactory in
quantity and quality.-Saginaw Cou.
rier-Herald.
William Kramer, of Holland, Mich
has been in the city looking over the
sugar beet crop in the interest of the
government. He was taken to various
fields in this locality by William F,
Hemmeter of the Saginaw Sugar COM
pany and given samples of beets in their
present stage.
Until this year beet seed used here
came from Germany, but the depart
ment at Washington determined to see
what home grown seed would do. A
quantity was distributed in the sugar
beet regions of this country and the
United States authorities are wa tching
with interest the result Of this test. Mr..
Kramer has visited several localities
and is highly pleased with the favorable
outlook
The Saginaw valley, he said, was
without doubt the best adapted to the
raising OF sugar. beets of any part of the
country he had seen. Over 300 pounds
of seed was distributed here by the gov.
ernment and sown in separate fields.
This crop the agent found to be fine,
better in appearance than that raised
from the imported seed. The beets are
large and have the proper shape, and at
their maturity Mr.. Kramer thought
they would demonstrate that Home
grown seed is preferable to that hereto
fore received from Germany. The
principal object in making this test is
if possible, to secure. better tonnage
and an increase in percentage. From
present indications Mr.. Kramer believes
both these results will be attained. If
this proves to be a fact America will
soon be independent Of Germany, the
home of the beet sugar industry, of the
seed necessary to keep its factories In
operation. Saginaw Courier Herald.

Inspecting Rural Routes.

Special Agent, E. Hardeman, has
been here during the week inspecting
the eight rural routes running out from
the city and looking into the question
of making additions to four of the routes
petitioned for some time ago. He will
not be able to finish his work until next
week. So far as he has gone he finds
most of the roads in fairly good condi-
tion but will report in favor of discon-
tinuing the service on certain roads un-
less they are put in better shape and
notices to that, effect will be sent the
proper road officers. He also finds some
. tsxes which are badly out of condition
and which will have to be replaced if
the patrons wish to have their mail de-
livered to them.
After making the inspections Mr..
Hardeman has decided to lengthen four
routes asked for.

WARMERS PLEDGES.
Hon. Fred Warner made these Inn

speech.


II have given the subject of primary
election law as much consideration,
perhaps, as any other man in the state,
and through such consideration / have
become convinced that it would be un.
wise, at this time, to sweep from our
statute book all laws now in existence
providing for political conventions. /
am told that the possession of such a
conviction will cause me the loss of
votes at the coming election, but /
would not deserve the vote of any
honest man if did not frankly express
my sincere belief on this and every
other subject"
81 desire and expect to be the ser.
want Of the people, not political boss
or party dictator"
81 fully agree with the demand for
change and improvement and even
should the change go so far as to
leave no vestige of present methods,
would deem it my duty to meet the ex-
pectatons of my party as Indicated in
the action of the peoples representa-
tives and to assist by my signature the
enactment into law of whatever legisIa-
ton concerning primary election the
next legislature shall see fit to pass"
Il have not been and will not be con-
trolled by any man or any influences
that are not honest and not upright,
and which do not seek the advancement
of the best interests of the state"
