only one short week, and at mid
night, January ., came the death
angles summons. He was al
ways a thoughtful boy, especially
so OF his mother. He was be-
loved by all who knew him, be-
ing mild and peace loving in
character. He leaves many
friends to mourn his loss, as he
was always favorite among his
young friends and associates.
He will be greatly missed by one
and all. The funeral services
were conducted by Rev. II. NJ.

can use your commercial fertilizer now
but not without trying it to see which
kind gives the best results. Not all
soils need the same fertilizer, and what
will be of great benefit to one soil will
be wasted entirely if put on another.
But the farmer who raises two or
three crops of beets in succession from
| the same field and the farmers who do
not fertilize their field will certainly see
them grow poorer and poorer. You
will injure the soil if you fool with it..
Factory contracts for beets now call for
some sort of rotation of crops such as
for instance wheat, clover, corn, beets,
or something of that character. With
such a rotation as just noted the soil is
not deprecated by raising beets.
know of an instance not far from here,
added the professor, where 800 bushels
of onions and 200 bushels of potatoes
per acre were raised on land that had
grown beets the year before. The crop
is a blessing to the farmers of Michigan.
1t has proved blessing to farmers
everywhere, Nebraska, California, and
all the other states where it has be en-
grown, and we should do all IN ou1
power to help fight the battle for the
beet sugar industry.
Senator A. b. Cook was the next
speaker introduced. He claimed to be
the first farmer ever imposed on by the
Owosso Sugar Company anu his claim
to being abused was that he had come
to the factory that morning to work,
and dressed for work, and had been
told later on that he was to address the
audience then before him. He said
that he was not a prophet but that when
the officers of the company had asked
him how many to expect at their re
ception he told them to make plans fol
at least a thousand. He inferred thai
J this prophecy was pretty well fulfilled
and then told of one more that he haC
made. Last year the officers Of the
company had asked him what hi
thought of the outlook. He told them
J ''Stay with us five years and we viii
show you the best supported factory il
Michigan" He assured the audienc,
that he felt as confident of this SECOND
prophecy as he did of the first. Mr.
! Cook said that he came at first to TAX,
, care of the tare room but that after
wards he was put in charge of tn,
weighing and the testing as well, so
said he, if you do not get fair Treatment
. it is my pure meanness alone that is t.
blame. My instructions from the com
r pany are to see that every farmer get
every cent that is coming to him. TIL,
, inference in the instructions is tina
If there is even a shadow of doubt as Il
} the exact amount, to give the farmer
! the benefit of the doubt. What Prof
. Smith said about fertilizing was al

The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1904-11-04

on my oat crop and lost several times
that amount on my beet crop. My
next years crop will be much better
one l am confident. In answer to an
inquiry from the audience he stated
that his fifteen acres had brought him
$3.50 this year. He told the farmers
that they could make their own tests
for tare and thus prove for themselves
the correctness of the company tests.
But, said he, if the polariscope shows
that there is only fourteen per cent of
sugar in your beets don't blame me be-
cause you and the hired man think from
chewing sample of the beets that it
ought to go forty percent. And remem-
Der that the company isn't buying dirt
at the price of beets.
Henry y. Patterson, of st. Johns demo
craticcandidate for congress by the way,
was the next speaker called on. He said
that the sugar beet crop had never been
thought of when he first came to this
part of the country. The great crop
then was wheat. Every generation had
its own peculiar problems to solve
Mistakes would be made at first in any
of these new lines and beet raising must
have its share of mistakes along with
the rest. Mr.. Patterson then illustrated
this point with a personal experience
in raising tomatoes for the st. Johns
canning factory. He was such good
student of the tomatoe crop that his
half acre this year produced the finest
crop raised for the factory anywhere.
President Brown paid high compli-
ment to the next speaker whom he in
PRODUCED, saying that if he had done one
small part of the work which Congress-
man Fordney had done for the beet sug-
ar industry he would be proud indeed
to speak to the audience before him
AS it was he was more than proud to
have Congressman Fordney with them
and to have the pleasure of introducing
him to them then.
Mr.. Fordney jokingly reminded the
audience of the story of the Irishman
who proposed cutting off the rear car of
a train because it was the most danger
Gus one and suggested that the same
might be as true of this last speech as
Of the last car He should say at the
beginning however that he was greatly
interested in the sugar beet industry
although he did not have dollar in.
vested in it. Last year he said, there
were twenty factories in Michigan.
This year there are but sixteen running.
The others are in the hands of receivers.
This was the result largely of the poor
crop last year everywhere, the result Of
not getting enough beets to keep run
ming.
You should be thankful here at Owos-
so that you are not dealing with com
pany controlled by trust, There are
eighty-two or eighty three thousand
acres in beets in Michigan this year.
This diverts other crops, making better
prices for them besides giving new
crop which pays ready money. Many
farmers who study the crop and under
stand it best get $50. 90 per acre for it.
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1904-11-04

By studying the crop the growers in
Germany raised the PERCENTAGE of sugar
i'll their beets from nine to fifteen, and
to seventeen and eighteen percent. But
they had to learn how to do it. Cali
fornia has today seven factories. Last
year she had nine in operation.
Throughout the United States there is a
decrease altogether of four, from fifty
five to fifty-one but Michigan alone as
already stated lost four The sugar
trust is everywhere trying to ruin the
industry. The future of the industry
here depends on you. A big amount of
capital has been put IN here. The man
agement is more than disposed to be
fair with you. .
What does the success of this ind us
try mean2 Last year we sent abroad
four and half millions for foreign sug-
ar which should have stayed at home.
If this industry is properly cared for all
this sugar will be produced at home and
this money will stay at home too.
The sugar trust which refines all this
foreign sugar which comes into this
country, paid one hundred millions last
year to foreign countries for raw sugar.
1t paid American labor fifteen millions
| for refining it. If all this sugar had
been produced at home American labor
would have received one hundred fifty
five millions instead of mere fifteen
millions.
We have the American genius and
push, and all that is needed is for you
to raise the beets, and for the passage
of laws that will keep out the cheap
foreign article. Why it means differ.
ence of five or six millions year in this
state alone. And yet the sugar trust
is constantly holding a club over the
heads of the men who have money in
vested in these independent factories.
The moment the Independent factories
are in position to place their sugar on
the market the trust manipulates a
skillful slump in the market and sugar
sells for ten cents or more hundred
| less than it did. The market is held
down until the beet sugar is sold, then
the old price, or higher one, prevails
again. Then give the new industry
every assistance you can and help your
selves get rid of this trust. burden, and
save this magnificent new industry to
| the nation.
The closing address was made by
Major Hdw. Pitcairn, of Philadelphia,
vice president of the company and the
heaviest stakeholder in the same. He
assured the audience of his pleasure al
being one of the party to receive them
at the factory and assured them that
the success of the industry depended on
two sets of people making money out of
1.-THE farmers and the stockholders, or
| the factory and the farms. He assured
the farmers present of his confidence in
the ultimate success of the industry and
expressed his belief that the farmers
had confidence in the officers Of the com.
pany and in their desire to do all in
their power to make the raising of beets
profitable for every farmer.

Shiawassee county become the banner
county of the state in the production of
sugar beets. The sugar enterprise here
was sort of three cornered enter
who undertook the work of getting the
factory located here. Then there was
the company which furnished the
money and built the plant for the max
ing of the sugar. Last of the three
| corners are the farmers who are to raise
the beets The business men have their
part done. The farmers and the com
pany still have to do their parts to keep
the business going. If all do their part
however, there can be no question but
| that this institution will prove incOm-
parably superior to any other which
ever came into the county. Think of
the distribution of 100000 in the
county every fall.
In introducing the next speaker, Prof
Clinton d. Smith, of the Michigan Agri.
cultural College, President Brown took
occasion to assure the audience that the
company believed quite as much in the
profitableness of raising sugar beets as
it did in the making sugar out of them
AS proof of this statement he reminded
the farmers of the audience that the
company raised seven hundred acres OF
beets this year on its own farm and
would have fifteen hundred acres il
beets next year.
The old Jews, said the Professor
knew of no sugar except honey. Com
paratively recently the English discov
cred that sugar could be made from tn,
cane of the tropics. Later German,
took the field with sugar made from tn
sugar beet. The latter process is nov
on trial here. Now cane sugar interest

Mr.. Carman N. Smith, secretary and

them that he had been told that Shia-

discovered-it was after one o'clock

the hungriest looking farmers he had

tional, Episcopal, and Methodist
churches on the ground floor. was ready,
he announced, and while probably all
could not be served at once if the rest,

would be provided with dinner as
soon as possible. The announcement
was received with a relish and the
audience started for the dining room
and different parts of the factory where
they inspected various processes. of sug-
ar making while waiting their turn in

During the larger part of the after
noon, besides the entertainment of
watching the different machines and
processes in the factory, the band was
employed on the upper floor which had
been waxed for dancing. The chairs.
were removed from the center of the
room and no small number of people en-
joyed themselves with watlzes and two
steps.
The affair was most. successful one
in every respect and it is safe to say
that there are a large number of repre-
tative farmers about the county today
who have much more friendly feeling
for the sugar company and better idea
of its possibilities for profit to them
than they had had before 1t was
good thing for both the farmers of the
county and for the company as well.
