A GREAT BEET YEAR.
Farmers Who Raised Product For
Sugar Reap Rich Harvest.
FACTORIES GOING FULL BLAST
Sugar Content Of Vegetable Surpasses
Previous Years-Over Half Million
Dollars VIII Be Realized BY Agri-
eulturists In Owosso District.

Bay City. Mich, Oct. 24.-The seas
On Of 1906 is proving banner one
for farmers who are growing sugar
beets in this section of Michigan. Not
only is the yield per acre proving to
be considerably above the average OF
previous years, but the sugar content
of the beets is far above that of any
other year, and as the payments are
based on the percentage Of sugar. the
returns are increased proportionately.
Few farmers have delivered their
total crop up to the present time, and
the average yield per acre can only
be estimated, but it is placed at about
ten tons per acre in the Saginaw val
ley, and about eight for the whole
state. The average percentage of
sugar this year is running close to
16, while many instances are reported
of beets testing as high as 10 per cent
of sugar.
Payments are made at the rate of
81 so per ton for beets containing II
per cent of sugar, with an increase
of 33 1-3 cents for each additional one
per cent, SO that the average farmer
is receiving about SIS SO 1-3 per ton
for beets, while many individuals are
getting even a dollar more ton.
The banner yield is reported from
Portsmouth township, where one farm
err claims to have produced over 40
tons from two and half acres All
three of the factories are receiving
beets as rapidly as they can care for
them, and their storage sheds are full
all the time, while at least one coz
Germ has had to stop the shipment of
beets for a few days until some OF the
stock on hand is worked off.

NOT A TRUST.
Farmere' Society Simply Proposes to
Get Profitable Prices For
Farm Products.

Get profitable Prices For
Farm Products.
East st. Louis, H., Oct. 24.-The
first national convention of the Ameri,
can Society of Equity, composed of
farmers, began here Tuesday with
500 delegates from Illinois, Kentucky,
New York, North Carolina, Utah, Wis
consin, Ohio and Indiana. The society
seeks to regulate values of grain and
farm products by regulating the sup
ply in relation to the demand.
President c. o. Drayton, in his an
nual address, said:
This organization is not trust,
nor combine to force extortiolate
prices, but rather an organization to
get profitable prices for farm products.
1t is composed of local unions of
farmers, established at shipping
points These unions from these
points form the state association.
These combined form the national as
ISOLATION. Our idea is to establish
granaries in the grain country, cold
storage plants, hay barns and places
to store all sorts of farm products
"If the market is Tow the society
will hold the product until the de-
mand forces up profitable prices, when
the goods may be sold. The poor
farmer, who cannot afford to hold his
grain, will be given a warehouse re-
ceipt, good for twothirds the face val
ue of the grain represented"
The convention will be in session
three more days.

dorse at the November election the
ordinance prohibiting the giving of
theatrical performances on Sunday.
At the theatres, local managers urg-
ed their patrons by arguments pre-
scented by moving pictures, to vote
down the ordinance. If the theatres
are forced to close, the theatre man
ayers will try to close up the town
tighter than if the blue laws or Con-

CR|TICISES HEPBURN
IN THE WHISKY FIGHT
Secretary Fleming, of the Pennsylvania
Wholesale Liquor Dealers, Dis
cusses Contest.

PHILADELPHIA, March 2S.-'Two
most remarkable facts we're developed
as the result Of the contest before the
House Committee on Interstate Com
merce with referenre 70 the whisky
provisions of the Hepburn pure food
bill" said Edward T. Fleming, secre-
tary OF the Pennsylvania Wholesale
Liquor Dealers Association, who re-
turned from Washington last week
The first is" he said, that the adYO-
Gates OF the soc He'd bottled-in-bond
whisky admitted that IL contained the
/ largest amount CT impurities. and the
effect OF the provisions OF the bill Is
TO declare that whisky OF that class
contains poisonous and deleterious sub
stances.
The second Is that Mr. Hepburn. the
chairman OF the committee, and the
supposed advocate OF purity whole
someness, and prohibition, opposed the
efforts OF the blenders 10 have the bill
SO worded as TO prevent the sale Of ali
whiskies which contain any poisonous
| or deleteriOus substances whatever,
whether adder or otherwise.
i he reason Tor the position taken by
Mr.. Hepburn, which was even more re-
markable than the position Itself was
that 10 prohibit the sale Of all whis-
/ kies co1tah!iDg poisonous or deieteri-
| GUS suostenees might have the effect
or closing down some distilleries which
were unaDte 70 produce pure whisky.
/ This r,;asOn IL not sound. because II
/ is very easy for any distiIler 20 keep
4 out or his product those poisonous i'm
| purittes which may be produced By fer
mentstion, and when he does not do 50
/ II is because he wants 10 make as
I many gallons as possible from a
: bushel Of grain, and ne expects to rely
/ upon the Governments receipt for the
/ tax, which is pasted over the cork OF
/ the bottle. 10 help him 10 sell 20 the
/ public what he could not sell TO a
wholesale dealer or bleRdeT.
! But even IL the chairman's reason
was sound one, the blenders are ask
4 Ing themselves why a Representative
! from a prohibition State should care
