Of $60 an acre on twenty acres the past
season and many others made good
money from beets.
In this district beet growing is in it's
infancy; there are many things yet to
learn. One thing that we have learned
land it has cost many dollars, too) is that
the beets should be weighed at time of
delivery, not at some time or place that
we know not of or under conditions that
we do not understand. There is loss
from shrinkage, poor loading or bad cars
and other sources that we cannot con-
troll but that effect our pockets very per-
ceptibly. The manner of transferring

grievances we would be received polite
ly, perhaps be entertained, but would
get no satisfaction If the best growers
in one town should organize and send a
committee to the company with re-
quest for certain CONCESSIONS they would
be politely turned down. But if all the
beet farmers In the GAINESVILLE district
should work IN harmony and send del
egation representing 80 or 20 stations
and several thousand acres of beets to
these same sugar companies they would
be accorded hearing and these same
difficulties would be amicably adjusted.
With this end 10 view the farmers of
Rock and adjoining counties should or

shipping point. This has already been
done in several places and meeting has

in GAINESVILLE on Jan. Is at p. NJ, that a
central organization may be formed It

TOBACCO VS.. BETS.

The following article so we'll demon
strates the argument that there is more
profit in the tobacco industry to the
farmer than the growing of sugar beets,
that it would seem an idle waste of
words to say anything different:
so much has been said and published
about the beet industry, will give an
illustration for the tobacco grower. F.
Ell. Bemis of Footville, one of our best
and most prosperous farmers, usually
raises eight acres of tobacco each year.
In 1904 he reduced this acreage to five
acres, and beside of the tobacco on his
best tobacco ground he planted two
acres of sugar beets. In due course of
time his beets were shipped to the fac
tory and returns came later in the sum
of $125.O9. Last week be delivered his
five acres of tobacco which yielded 1907
pounds, wrappers and binders, and sold
at sac, and 1862 pounds filters at &c,
and in the total brought him the neat
sum of $731.72. His tobacco was deliv-
cred with four teams and wagons, set
tied for and he went away rejoicing with
his check before 10 o'clock in the morn
ing. 1t would have taken 100 teams to
deliver the product of five acres of beets
and month to get his money back. Mr..
Bemis states that it takes fully as much
labor to raise an acre of beets as an acre
of tobacco, and considering last season
was an off year for the tobacco growers
and favorable one for the beet grow
ers, where is the farmer who will care to
make the change of tobacco raising for
beets?" Les

THE legislature which convened at

The legislature which convened at
Madison Wednesday started in with the
same old factional fight before the mem
bers were fairly inside the state house.
The people are expecting better things
from their representatives than the con-
tinuation of petty quarrels. The fuse
was lighted in the assembly caucus when
the administration leaders attempted to
place a new test upon repuhlicanism.
That question was decided by the voters
IN November last.

More About the Sugar Beet Proposition.

More About the Sugar Beet Proposition.
Mr.. e. Smith OF Evansville, addressed
this office to say that in his opinion the
motive of the farmer who wrote the ar
ticle on the beet sugar proposition in
last weeks paper was to discourage beet
growing, and if he will make known his
identity, Mr. Smith will come over and
discuss the question with him. Good;
the more this beet growing proposition
is discussed through the public print
the more truth will be known. There
has been too much Misrepresentation
and deception practiced already. What
The Reporter is trying to do is to aid
this campaign of education.
A tobacco grower north of town
dropped. in Saturday to tell us that he
had Just delivered his crop and had the
satisfaction of seeing it weighed and
check that called for little more than
500 per acre. He said last spring an
agent for sugar beet refinery came to
his place and represented that it he
would only grow few acres OF beets, as
soon as they came out of the ground it
would be just as safe an investment as
counting his profits long before his to-
bacco was ready for market. He took
the advice and few weeks ago drew his
beets into Edgerton, dumped them into
a car, bidding them goodbye since
which time he has neither seen or heard
from them. what they will weigh or
what they will bring or when they will
pay me am entirely in the dark, but as
you see have my tobacco check right
here in evidence" said the farmer.
The Dane County Sugar Refining
company is not meeting with the success
they anticipated at the time of the in
corporation of the company in getting
farmers to sign contracts for the raising
of sugar beets. At the tine Of the or
ganization of the concern the company
WAS given considerable assurance on the
part of the farmers of Dane countythat
they would do all in their power to make
the venture a success. At the present
time the company has agents through
out the county but they report that the
farmers appear to be disinterested on
the project. 1t is reported that con-
siderable amount of the acreage which
should have been given to the Madison
factory has been given to the factory at
Menominee Falls.-State Journal.

Railroads in Africa.

Railroads in Africa are APP
preaching the heart of the CONT
nent from the Congo on the west,
from Cairo on the north, from
Cape Town and Lorenzo Marques
on the south and into Uganda and
Abyssinnia on the east.
Now they propose a line along
the southern shore of the Mediter-
ranean, connecting Tangier and
Cairo. The idea is TO construct a
line along the slopes of the Atlas
mountains of the Mediterranean
littoraI. The ground has been
inspected and the conditions are
favorable. The engineering diff
culties are nowhere such as need
hinder a scheme which is other
wise desirable.
Over a great part of the route
there would be more to fear from
the predatory tribes than from
natural obstacles. Tracing the
new route from England, there
would be, first. the twenty miles
across the channel, then rail
through France and Spain. and
again a short sea voyage from
Gibraltar to Tangier, where the
new line would begin. Its course
would be along the northern bor-
ders of Morocco, thence by way of
Algeria to Tunis and Tripoli, and
onward to Cairo through the Liby-
an desert and the great tracts of
country over which the khedive
rules.
If a Cape-to-Cairo railway be-
comes one of the actualties of the
future, the new line would make
it possible to travel from London
to Cape Town overland except
when crossing the channel and
from Gibraltar to Tangier.

CAUSES OF INSANITY.
The Strain Of Modern Life Makes a Heavy
Demand Upon the Brain Necessity
Of It's Being Properly NOurished.

DIR. S. l.. Graves, who for the
3 past seven years has been in charge
of the State Insane Asylum at San
Antonio. is in the city, making
arrangements to take up his resi-
dence here. He was recently Sc
lected to fill the chair of medicine
in the Medical Department of the
State University, recently vacated
by the resignation of DIR. James w.
Mclaughlin.
DIR. Graves is a recognized
authority on insanity, and it is due
TO his knowledge of the disease
that he was enabled to develop
the asylum at San Antonio to its
present condition of excellence.
DR.. Graves says that the most
affecting thing in the confinement
of the insane is their fretting
against the restraint of their move
ments, or, in other words, their
deprivation Of liberty. Effort is
made to employ all but the hopeless
cases in the pursuits that they were
engaged in when out in the world.
If this can not be done, then
they are given employment of some
kind. For instance, the San An
tonic Asylum has an irrigated farm
where it raises all its own vegeta-
bles: il has its own dairies; it has
rs own laundry; a number OF the
inmates are employed in the tailor
ing department, which supplies the
clothes. The women are given en-
ployment in the culinary depart
ment. In fact, all that are able to
work are given congenial employ
ment.
Discipline is preserved by de
priving the inmates of their en-
ployment, and also by not letting
them enjoy the usual weekly dance
that is given. The latter is looked
forward to longingly, not only by
those who participate, but also by
those that look on.
According as a case improves,
more liberty and a higher character
of employment is provided. The
fundamental idea in the care of the
insane is to prevent as far as pos
sible the dwelling of the mind on
its condition or the indulgence in
decisions and toward building mp
