Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1905-09-13

Manchester is looking forward to
free mail delivery in the city in the
not far distant future. This is to be
brought about by Capt. J. F. Merry.
general immigration agent for the
Illinois Central railroad company
has his offices in Manchester.
Formerly it was the custom of that
road to have its agent furnished pos
tage stamps by the local treasurer OF
the company in Chicago but it has de-
cided to let Capt. Merry buy his own
stamps. This will result in increasing
the receipts of the postoffice at Man
chester several hundred dollars year
and will place it in position where
free delivery may be had.
Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1905-09-13

The following from a st. Cloud
paper is so true. that it deserves re-
petition: Did it ever occur to you
that no public enterprise could succeed
without the hearty cooperation OF
the newspapers? And did YOU ever
hear of case where the newspapers
did not cheerfully do more than their
full share of promoting every move
ment that promised to benefit home
city? But do you know business men
in every city who are losing trade
and prestige by neglecting to patron
ize their best friends, the newspapers?

THE FARM AND RANGE
Beet SUGAR in Colorado,

One of the most surprising develop
meHts OF recent years in this state IS
the growth OF the sugar beet and beet
sugar industries. Until 1899 the cul-
ture of this variety of beets was al
most unknown in Colorado. In that
year the first factories were built, one
| in Grand junction and one in Rocky
Ford. Last year there were nine fac
tories in operation, and two more Will
be ready for this years crop. In atdi-
dition to these it is probable that TWO
or three additional factories will be
built to handle the 1906 crop.
The nine factories now in operation
are located at Fort Collins. Greeley.
Loveland, Longmont, Windsor. Eaton.
Rocky Ford, Sugar City and Grand
Junction, and the two new ones are at
Sterling and Lamar. Last year these
nine establishments handled $50 600
tons Of beets for which the farmers re-
ceived s. ton. or total of SO 250, 600.
The product in refined sugar was
worth about s5.000,000 and in addition
to this was a considerable value in
pulp and molasses. To these must be
added another by-prOduct which in
time will become more valuable than
either of the others. The factories are
now shipping to alcohol distilleries in
Wisconsin and Michigan kind OF
waste molasses, squeezed from the
pulp, from which high grade OF alco-
| hol is made.
Colorado now ranks second among
the states in the number OF its beet
sugar factories. being surpassed only
/ by Michigan. The nine factories now
in operation here represent an invest
ment of S7,O0O,000. All this is a deyel-
opment OF six years. and as the COndi-
tions here favoring the growth Of the
industry are unsurpassed. it is easy 10
see that the figures quoted may be
| easily doubled in the next five years.
The soil and climate of Colorado, es-
| pecially in the northern part OF the
/ state. and in the Arkansas valley, are
I peculiarly adapted to beet culture. and
! the beets raised have higher percent
age of saccharine matter than those
| produced in any other state. The aver
age yield per acre is very great. SO the
crop is highly profitable to the farm
ers.
An industry which adds so much to
/ the value of cur agricultural and man
/ ufaCturing products must be ranked
among the most important in th2 state.
A crop which six years after its irst
cultivation pays the farmers three ana
a quarter millions of dollars in ore sea
son is not to be lightly regarded, and
the time may come when the sugar
beet will be the most valuable agrl-
cultural resource of the state.-CoLO-

Youthful Finsncicrs.

Two budding Eocketellers have

Numbering the n Hairs.

The number of individual hairs
that cover the human scalp is greatly
matter of speculation: but ii is sup
posed to vary according to the thick
ness and color of the hair. A we'll
known authority estimates that red
haired people possess the fewest. and
places the average number at thirty
thousand. BlaCk-haired persons, on
the other hand, are said to run into
one hundred thousand; while the fair
haired have the largest number OF all
namely one hundred and lifty-thou-
sand. These figures should form a
valuable index to those people whose
hair is on the down grade. An eX-
cessive falling off could be reckoned
at from 100 upwards, and by counting
the number of hairs they lose each
day some idea might be formed as to
how long they are likely to be before
they are overtaken with total bald
ness. Hairs which fall out. however,
are not always a total loss" They
often grow again from the root

The Rats and the Po!ecats,

The remarkable case of ferret and
wild rabbit living together in peace
recorded in the Manchester Guard
ian reminds a naturalist correspond
ent of another queer happy family. Il
had a wild polecat obtained young)
reared for the purpose of crossing
with one of my ferrets. One day
put two young rats into the pole
cats run. thinking she would devour
them. She did nothing of the kind.
One the contrary, she allowed them
to suckle her and carefully reared
them. One of the rats died; the 9TH
er is now a constant companion Of
the polecat, and they often have a
run together in the fields around my
house and always come home to-
gether and sleep in the same bunk"

peril OF a japanese invasion. Undo.
China" he says, has only two enc
mics to fear. namely. Japan alone, or
China encouraged and supported by
japan The former constitutes a real

Cost Of Spraying.

1t is surprising, says Field and Farm,
to note how many growers still prefer
to use paris green, london purple or
arsenate of lime as sprays on account
of cheapness. AS a general thing the
cost of these poisOns is about one
fourth as much as for the arSenate OF
lead preparations. However the eN-
pense of spraying with all mixtures in
which lime is used is considerably
greater on account of the frequent
cloeging of the noZzles. Again an eH-
ira application is needed to make sure
of a thorough job OF spraying for the
first brood of worms and the total eX-
pense when using any of the old rene
dies may be summarized as follows:
First spraying Immediately after she'd
ding OF the petals, 4 1e cents the tree.
or s3.l5 an acre: second spraying a
week later 80 cents the tree. or s2.4o
an acre: and the last spraying for the
late brood of worms cents tree, or
50 so an acre, total of $40. Even
with the extra application Of the
cheaper poisons which makes the ell
tire expense S140 an acre more the re-
suits are not so sure with the constant
danger of burning the foliage ana
fruit. 1t will be seen by these hgures,
which are taken from practical work
in some of the best orchards in Colo
rado, chat no little expense is attached
to the operation of spraying and that
economy lies only in doins the work

Reports have been coming in TO
Mrs. Shute. secretary OF the COLORADO
State Horticultural Board. regarding
the condition and prospects for frul7
crop over the state, as indicated slhcS
the trees and bushes tiOwered. From
Boulder. it is reported. that there Will
l be a crop in all fruits equal to last
year. excepting peaches, which nave
| been killed. At Holly, the peaches
were winter killed. but the rest OF the
| crops are safe. The best report comes
| from Montezuma county where there
| will be a full crop Of peaches and seV-
! enty-fve to one hundred per cent OF
other crops. From Rife, it is reported
that peaches and pears are all killed
and there will be but half a crop OF
other fruits-Denver Republican.
Cooperative spraying is practical
and desirable for communities having
small fruit farms and close together
as they are in Fremont county ano
other Colorado districts. The use OF
power spraying outfits has proven prot
table on the large fruit farms and by
neighborhood organization the dement's
may be carried to the smaller plant
ings. The strongest objection to sucf
cooperation in the spraying OF or
chards comes from the difficulty o
getting around to all orchards in th'
few days when the work will be mos
effective This may be remedled Il
some extent by combining in the or
ganization orchards on high and !oV
lands in the same neighborhood. IN
mesa trees are usually ready 10
spraying several days ahead of thos
on the bottoms.-Field and Farm.
