THE FIELD
The Beet Sugar Industry.

A report on the progress of the beet
sugar industry in 1903, prepared by
Special Agent Saylor of the depart
ment of agriculture, shows that there
was an increase in the number of beet
sugar factories in the United States
during 1903 from forty-three to fifty
six According to the report the beet
sugar crop of 1903 amounted to lit
tie more than 100000 tons harvested
from 242,576 acres, the average yield
being about S12 tons to the acre. The
prices which the farmers received for
beets from the different factory COM
panies ranged from $3.50 to $3.50 per
ton, the average being nearly 30 The
average gross returns to the farmers
were, therefore, $42.50 per acre. The
estimated cost of growing beets by
irrigation is $40 per acre, and in Sec
lions where irrigation is not necessary
$50. If $35 be taken as the average
for the whole crop of 1903, the average
net profit to the farmers was $3.50 per
acre. In some of the sugar beet areas
the returns were very much higher
than this general average. AS in the
production of other crops, much de-
ponds on the season, the character OF
the land and the kind of farmer who
grows Cno DoolS. Mduy ldl lhol nav
cleared from $25 to $50 per acre. The
best result on record for 1903 was Sc
cured by a farmer of Otero county,
Colorado. He grew one acre of sugar
beets at a cost of about $3.50; the
yield of beets was thirty-three tons,
for which he received $158, his net re-
turns being about $3.50. The amount
of sugar made from the beet crop of
1903 was 240, 604 tons, as compared
with 21S,405 tons from the crop OF
1902, and 1874, Cos tons from that OF

1000 bushels less than in 1901 and
the Grande Ronde is about 100000
bushels less than in the big year. Had
these two districts alone showed the
same yield per acre that was reached
in 1901, the crop would have been far
in excess of 100000 AS a matter
of fact early indications pointed to a
50,OO0,00O bushel crop, but frost and
dry weather combined to cut it down
in many localities which heretofore
have been reasonably immune from
serious damage.
There is still considerable spring
wheat to be cut, and it will be a
month yet before accurate figures can
be secured, but from the best data
obtainable at this time, it is believed
that the final returns will show but
little change. The new lands in the
Horse Heaven country, while not
yielding as heavily as some of the
light lands in the Washtucna country
or the lower end of the PalOuse,
turned out an amount sufficient to
materially swell the totals for the
counties of Yakima and Klickitat.
This states share in the above total
of over 45,000,000 bushels is placed at
27650,000

The Worlds Wheat Crop.

The following is the estimate Of
the worlds wheat crop, furnished by
the well-known British expert, j. K.
Carthew, and first printed in the Ten
bury Wells Advertiser, August 30. 1t
will be observed that the United King
dom comes in an easy last, the esti-
mated crop being million quarters
less than last year, and two million
quarters less than in 1902:

A South Dakota horse owner says:
Having proved the efficiency of the fol-
lowing remedy in several cases, the
writer gives it for the benefit of 9TH
ers. 1t has the advantage of being
simple, easily applied, and always at
hand. When film has formed on the
eye of horse or other animal caused
by foreign body getting into the eye
take teaspoonful of granulated sugar
into the mouth and with sudden puff
before the sugar becomes wet, blow it
into the affected eye. Repeat twice
a day till the film is cut.

Wheat Yield of Pacific Northwest.

Wheat Yield of Pacific Northwest
One month ago The Ranch printed
some figures touching on the wheat
yield of the Pacific coast, placing the
estimated total yield for this year at
1867 697 bushels. This is nearly
10000 900 bushels more than the yield
for last year. Further compilations
of the probable yield show the above
figures to be approximately correct.
The Portland Oregonian places the
yield in round numbers at 100000,
and calls attention to the fact that
this yield is about 100000 bushels
less than that of 1901, which was a
banner year. The acreage sown to
wheat in 1904 was greater than 1901,
but a poor crop in the Big Bend, the
Grande Ronde and the Willamette
materially reduced the total yield. In
the Big Bend alone the crop was A.

Mr.. Carthew predicts a decrease of
four million quarters as compared to
last years supply, and this combined
with unfavorable harvest advices from
Manitoba, Minnesota and North Da-
kota, led to great excitement and a
heavy rise in prices in the New York
market. Time was when such news
would have rejoiced the heart of the
British farmer, but in his degraded
position at the bottom of the form,
he has little to gain.

BernaLiYO County Officers
Accused of VIOLATING Law

gentleman, however, tactily admitted
that the commissioners were up to

AS the information published
in last weeks Silver Belt as to
how the jury in the case against
the Booths stood at various
stages in their deliberation, was
hurriedly obtained and put into
type, it is not surprising that
mistake was made. The state
ment that the jury was unanimous
for the acquittal of John Booth
on the first ballot was erroneous.
The jury stood five for conviction
and seven for acquittal on the
first ballot, and the agreement
for acquittal was not reached
until $3.50 O'clock Friday morn

Booth Case Appealed.

The June term of the district
court was concluded on Saturday
last, most of the business dispOs-
ed of being of minor importance,
with the exception of the cases
against lack and John Booth.
AT noon Saturday sentence was
passed upon lack Booth, convict.
ed of the murder Of Juan Vigil,
August l, between the hours of
sunrise and sunset, being named
as the time when he is to suffer
the death penalty by hanging.
An appeal has been taken to the
Supreme court, which meets late
N October, and it is not likely
that the sentence against lack
Booth will not be carried out UNI
til some time after that date.
The case against John Booth,
indicted for the murder Of Wiley
Berry, was continued for the
term, and upon motion by his
counsel, and after argument, he
was admitted to bail, the bond
being fixed at $4,000, which up to
the present time the prisoner has
been unable to furnish, and it is
not likely that he will be able to
give it. Silver Belt.
