1t has come to this-that if farmer
and his family are discontinued and
feel isolated and lonesome it is largely
their own fault With the telephone to
put the family in close touch with all
the neighbors, with daily mail sery-
ice at his door, with all the modern
equipment for farm and farm home SO
easily available, man is a fool to do
without the telephone, take no good
list of papers and periodicals, which
were never SO cheap, or get along with
the old fashioned tools and farm equip
ment Of thirty years ago. Instead of
wanting to sell out and try some other
business or move to some other coun-
try, the sensible man will go intelli-
gently to work to see how he may inn
prove the old place and the old home.
1t is entirely possible to so do this that
when done the owner would simply re-
fuse to put sale price on his farm.

THE SUGAR BEET.

A government bulletin gives some in
teresting facts relative to the growing
of sugar beets in this country. The
average yield per acre for 1903 was
eight and one-half tons per acre, the
average price received by the grower
was SIS per ton, the average cost to pro-
duce the crop was $35 per acre and the
average net profit per acre was $3.50.
AS opposed to this really discouraging
showing, a possible crop, which was
produced in Colorado, was thirty three
tons per acre, costing $3S to produce
and selling for $15S, giving net profit
of $12o per acre. It is very evident
that sugar beet culture will find its
best show in the lands of perennial
sunshine and Irrigation. The beet crop
cannot compete with the corn crop In
the corn belt
