Slifer's case presents many interesting phases.
He was young farmer, respected by all, and his
family connections were of the very best: One

ton at the drugstore. 80

Chippewa Falls, Wis. Sept. by the list of
factories. One was erected three years ago at
Menononic Falls, Il second is being erected at
GAINESVILLE and the third ut Chippewa Falls.
Che factory in this city will be the largest III
She state, its capacity being 600 tons of beets
q day, while the capacity of the other two
fac tories is each 800 tens.
Sugar beet growing was in its experimental
state three years ago. The Wisconsin Sugar
company attempted then to interest the, farmers
in the vicinity of Menomonie Falls. The result
that farmers contracted to devote 100
acres to sugar beet raising and the company
erected factory. Since then it has been found
that beet raising in the vicinity of Menomone
Falls is an unqualified success and the result
is that the company this year was compelled To
limit the contracted acreage to 5000 acres
The success of the Menomonie Falls venture
and the fact that the soil Of Chippewa county
and vicinity is considered we'll adapted for beet
raising, were factors that aided in interesting
the farmers: Before the work In constructive
the factory here was begun the Chippewa Sugar
company had contracted an acreage Oh 4,oo'
nmong the farmers of Chippewa and Eau Claire
counties, and also from oiI the vicinity OF Marsh
field Dorchester. Phillips, Cameron, Saronu
Shell Lake, Dallas, Barron and Canton. From
this acreage 1t Is expected that 10000 tons o.
beets will be harvested this year So pleased
are the planters with the results thus far tina
acreage Of 5000 will without doubt b
contracted next year.
Sugar beet growers in Wisconsin have raiset
as much thirty tons to lively
tons to the is the general average on fEon
1000 to 5000 acres. When it is known tina
only beet to the square foot is raised tn
size of the average beet can easily be realized
There are planters in this county who have beet
growing on their farms that weigh as much a
elk pounds.
Hundreds Of girls and boys have found employ
ment In the beet fields They leave this cit
about 6 o'clock every morning and return at
o'clock. Their work of punching, thinning an
hoeing Is easy and profitable. The Chippew
Sugar company has paid out this year in wage
to this class Of laborers about $4,000.
The work of constructing the sugar plant
progressing rapidly. 1t will be completed by til
time the planters begin to harvest the beet
or about Oct. 1. About $50 men are employed
erecting the factory, which, when completed
will cost $3.50, 600.

WHY JEPsON DID NOT FILE -
Land and Terms at Devils Lake Do Not
Appeal to Him.
INNESOTA

FRAZEE, MINI Matt Jepson, who drew an
early number in the Devils Lake land lottery,
says:
II have come down from Devils Lake with
the determine ton not to take any claim. The
land is not worth the price one would have to
pay. There may be some fairly good soil
but failed to find it. The land is too far from
any town and will not pay for the trouble te
get it. For instance, 100 acres will cost "a. 81
an acre. and the filing costs $14 making total
of $734 besides the time one has to live on the
claim to make his proof.
1T isn't worth While filing on for speculation
because if man pays 81 80 acre and $14
for first filing, it costs him $3.50 for filing OF
100 acres Should he wish to sell to another hi
must relinquish his right and the next man mus
also pay 81 30 acre and also filing fee O.
| $14. This makes the first filing of the secon'
person cost sos. The filing fee of the first maj
and his first payment Of $3.50 an acre are sim
ply lost if he relinquishes.
| "Thus if the land is relinquished three times
the government would make $3.50 first filing
only. A poor man cannot afford to run such
| risk
