LARGE ACREAGE.
Owosso Sugar Company Will Have a
Banner Campaign.
Fields Look Fine-Rapid Progress
Made in Care Of the Crop.

From the Sugar Beet Culturist.
The writer has finished two days
outing as guest of Mr.. l.. B. Dolsen,
agriculturist of the Owosso Sugar Co.,
and in our tour around the country,
have met with many surprises in the
favorable condition crops were found
Every indication points to a very salts
factory yield of sugar beets. Thinning
and blocking is finished and large
amount of hoeing has also been done.
Early beets look better than they have
for years and those that have been re-
planted, or put in late, are coming along
nicely, and with good season will pay
out we'll AS rule more seed has
been sown this year than in seasons
past, but there are still many farmers
that use but 10 or IL pounds of seed
to the acre. This will not give results
and we hope another year that from
Is to 90 pounds per acre will. be the
rule. Plenty of seed is a guarantee
against a cold, backward, wet spring.
What we need is a good. strong stand
of the plants, to insure rapid, healthy
growth. In our conversation with the
farmers growing beets for the Owosso
company, we were informed that much
of the land was prepared last fall.
This should be the universal rule. Beets
on fall prepared ground have the ad-
vantage over land prepared and plowed
in the spring, and we don't find any
poor fields that were fall prepared and
where drainage has been given proper
attention. We saw one or two fields
that had been attacked by the army
worm, but saw many fields of corn and
oats that had been badly damaged by
this pest.
But speaking of the Owosso Sugar
company, they have very large acre
age this year, having 2,346 farmers un-
der contract. They expect long, sue
cessful campaign and the farmers are
looking forward to larger returns from
their beet crop. The acreage looks
remarkably well, and shows careful at
tention. Mr.. Dolsen has large number
of experienced field men, who are Civ
ing their best attention to the assist
ance Of the farmers. We found very
few dissatisfied beet growers. Small
acreage is the rule, which fact in itself
solves the success of the industry. The
beet crop as whole is certainly hook
ing very favorable for the conditions
which we have had.

A Drawback In American Life.

It is drawback in American life for
purposes of observation and comment
that we are people indistinguished to
the eye, unclassiied to the understand
ing. Your casual stranger may be a
bank president or foor-walker, bis
hop or broker, Presbyterian or a
Christian Scientist or be by birth of
Iowa or Maine, or live in a hall bed
room or a mansion with a park front.
He bears few marks of his opinions or
beliefs, political or religious. You can
make but broad congratulations about
him. Moreover his opinions and beliefs
are not of piece. 1t is likely that he
was born into one set of conditions,
passed through others, and has come
out mixture, his makeup composite,
his outline indistinct. Our clergy are
mainly unfrocked, our officials unin.
formed. We have no kings. Our beg.
bars are unsatisfactory. You cannot
tell a governor from a congressman.
Your collision with a package.carryi
youth may be right contact with a
student of the schools, an academic
rebuttal, or but IAN illiterate encounter
with some merchantile adolescence,
some conveyor of parcels. There is
nothing absolute about his garb, coun-
tenance, or motions. Society moves
before us disorderly, and our eyes are
bemused with the clutter. -Arthur Col.

Where a Hundred and Fifteen in the

Chas. Frederick Holder writes in The

with the thermometer at 30 degrees.
In Boston the heat was humid; one per-

A SUBURBAN LINE.
Franchises for one to Durand Practi
caIly all Secured


The long promised and much wanted
suburban line to Durand will probably
be a reality before the end of 1906.
The Owosso and Corunna Electric Com
pany has secured franchises at Vernon
and much private right of way between
stations and having old franchises at
Corunna and Durand are now in posi-
tion to commence work, which will
probably be done within sixty days
Grading on much of the line will be COM

Names Natural Advantages.

In natural advantages for agriculture,
manufacturing and ,commerce, Maine sur
passes all the states of the North Allan
tic division, which include Maine, New
Hampshire Vermont Massachusetts,
Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York,
New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Her
area of 3,040- square miles just about
equals the area of all the other New
England States combined. Her area of
fertile, cultivable lands exceeds that of
all of them. the County of Aroostook
alone, in this respect surpasses any one
of them. The forests Of Maine cover
an area of 10000 square miles clothed
with pine, spruce, hemlock, oak, pop
lar, cedar and other valuable woods.
We have more than 1900 lakes and
ponds, covering $500 square miles. and
over 5000 rivers and streams, affording
more than 2,5Op, 600 horse power, more
available water power than any equal
area Of the surface of the earth, not
even excepting that of which Niagara
is the center. The sea-coast of Maine,
extending for (225 miles in an air line
from Kittery) Point to Quoddy Head, is

The SECRETARY of the democratic state
central corSmittee is quite persuaded
that W. N Norris, democratic candi-
date of last year, would be the most
desirable Democratic candidate for gov
ernor next year. That may be true,
but the peculiar campaign made in be-
half of w. n. Ferris last year cannot be
repeated in Michigan next year. 1t
cannot be stated again that Fred NJ.
Warner is controlled by few politi-
clans or any number of politicians, or
that he would have no will of his own
and would be subject to railroad dicta-
ton. Many republicans were persuad-
ed to vote against Mr.. Warner last
November because of the weak and in
competent individual the republican
candidate was pictured to be by the
supporters Of w. n. Ferris. The peo-
pie of Michigan now believe Governor
Warner to be a straightforward, honest
man, with will of his own, and intelli-
gent experience with which to direct it.
There are probably not one hundred
people in the entire state who now be-
lieve one-half the statements made
throughout the campain of last year in
opposition to Mr.. Warner. Mr.. Ferris
will have to get votes in Michigan next
year against Governor Warner because
of mis- own merits and the merits of the
party he Will represent, and not as he
got many of them last November.

JAPAN.

London. June 30.-During the dis
cussion of the naval estimates In tho
House OF Commons, Edmund Robert.
son UiberaD, q former Civil Lord Of
the Admiralty. asked for further In.
formation concerning the new battle
ships. Mr.. Prettyman. secretary Of
the Admiralty, replied at length, claim.
ing the highest efficiency for the Ma
Wy under the new scheme. He declin.
cd to give particulars of the new bat
tleships, but said Great Britain pro-
posed to lead and not follow other
nations in naval construction.
Sir John Colomb said he did not
agree with the opposition speakers In
saying the time had come when the
naval expenditure might be reduced.
On the. contrary, Sir John said every.
thing pointed to the necessity for
keeping up the naval strength of Great
britain. The real question now Is:
who is going to rule the Pacifc?'
President Roosevelt said the United
States intended to rule the Pacific. The
United States was giving every sign
that this was her intention by the ex.
traordinary increase In her naval pow
er.
Sir John declared that In the not dis.
tant future questions would arise in
the Pacific affecting the policy Of ia
pan, the United States and Great Bri.
tain. He asked what Great Britain
was doing against the time when her
interests ceased to be identical with
those of the two great Powers whose
paval bases were In the Pacific. No
one believed that the Anglo-Japanese
alliance would last forever. Great
Britain looked with dread to a rupture
with the United States, but she could
not shut her eyes to the fact that rup-
lures had occurred between the most
friendly nations. Sir John asked what
the Government was doing to remind
Canada and the British colonies Of the
great responsibilities which they
would incur when their seaports and
immense interests In the Pacific were
lmminently threatened.
Secretary Prettyman, replying to
Sir John, said Great Britain did not
desire the mastery Of any sea beyond
securing an equal opportunity for
British trade interests without fear or
favor. To say that Great Britain de.
sired the mastery Of the Pacific or any
other sea might give false impress
