DOUBT ABOUT BEET FACTORY
Lincoln County Farmers Are Making
Trouble.

NORTH PLATTE-Last summer
the Standard Beet Sugar company
agreed to erect a 100000 factory in
Lincoln county, ready for work in the
fall of 1906, IL contract were pro-
cured from farmers in this vicinity to
raise 10000 acres of sugar beets for
three years. Such contrasts were
readily procured, and the Standard
company has placed it's order for ma
chinery and material for factory, to
be commenced as soon as spring
opens. But now comes lot Of the
farmers who signed contracts for GER
tain acreages of beets for three years
commencing with 1906, and say they
will not raise the beets according to
their contract, because they claim that
the company has failed to take the
beets raised by them in the year 1905
as rapidly as they expected. Now,
the important question is, will the
Standard company put 100000 in a
factory here unless the prospects are
fair for beets sufficient to feed such
a factory? The general feeling is
that only irresponsible persons will
go back on their contracts, and that If
the company will erect their factory
beets will be forthcoming to feed the
same. A general meeting is to be
held soon to discuss the matter and
determine what to do.

THE CALL OF THE CANADIAN
WEST.
The Greatest Wheat Crop Of the Con-
tinent.


The year that has just closed has
done a great deal toward showing
the possibilities of Western Canada
from an agricultural standpoint. The
wheat crop has run very near to the
100,000,000 bushel limit that was look
ed upon as too sanguine an estimate
only short time ago, and the area
that has been broken to fall wheat
for the coming harvest will go a long
way towards enabling the farmers Of
the West to overlap on the 100000
bushel estimate next year. And while
the spring and winter wheat have
been doing so well during the past few
years, the other cereals have been
keeping up with the procession. Rye
and barley have made immense
strides, and peas and fax have been
moving steadily along. Dairying,
also, has been successfully carried on
In the new provinces, and in every
stage the farmer has been striking
1t rich" To such an extent has the
success of the West taken hold of the
outsiders that the rush of our Ameri-
cans to Saskatchewan and Alberta,
which was looked upon as marvellous
last year. bids fair to be largely ex-
ceeded in 1906, and as there are still
millions of acres of free homesteads
available, which the building of the
new railways will render accessible
to the markets, new wheat lands viii

since poet in the columns of the

Western spirit:

And the eyes of all men for the mo-
ment are turned
To the country that we love the

Don't Be Too Sensitive.

There are people--Yes, many peo-
ple-always looking out for Sights.
They can not carry on the daily in
tercourse of the family without find
ing that some offense is designed.
They are as touchy as hairtriggers. If
they meet an acquaintance who hap
pens to be pre-occppied with business
they attribute his distraction in some
way personal to themselves, and take
umbrage accordingly. They lay on
others the fruit of their irritability.
Their disposition makes them see i'm
pertlnence in every one they come in
contact with. Innocent persons, who
never dreamed of giving offense, are
astonished to find some unfortunate
word of momentary tactiturnity mis-
taken for an insult. To say the least,
the habit is unfortunate. 1t is far
wiser to take the more charitable
view Of our fellowbeings, and not sup
pose that a slight is intended unless
the neglect Is open and direct. After
all, too, life takes its hues in great
degree from the color Of our own
mind. If we are frank and generous,
the world will treat us kindly; if on
the contrary, we are suspicious, men
learn to be cold and cautious to us.
Let person get the reputation of be-
ing "touchy" and everybody is under
restraint; and in this way the chances
of an imaginary offense are vastly in
creased.

POTATO scAB.

Potato scab is a fungus disease,
the spores of which are often found
lodged on potatoes. the indication of
their presence being revealed by a
scabbiness on the surface of the po-
tato. Where potatoes are grown from
year to year on the same ground
spores are apt to accumulate in the
soil. SO that in this case the only ef-
fectiye method of remedying 1t is to
plant on a new soil after the potatoes
have been treated.
In bulletin on the subject of po-
tato scab. prepared by the Wisconsin
station in the spring of 1903, it is ad-
vised that a solution be made by
pouring one pint of formaldehyde into
cask containing 20 gallons of water,
then distribute the liquid into sew
eral casks and into these put the un-
cut seed potatoes. The potatoes
should be placed in gunny sacks and
completely submerged in the liquid
and left for two hours; If the potatoes
are very scabby leave for two and one
half hours. This treatment will kill
the scab fungus on the seed potatoes
and the crop should be free If planted
on land that had not in previous
years grown scabby potatoes or in
any other way have become contami-
mated with the potato scab germs.
We strongly advise the treating of
potatoes for scab when there are any
symptoms of this disease present. We
have known instances where prac-
tically the whole crop was lost, owing
to the fact that scab rendered them
unstable. Care should be taken not
to treat the seed in cold weather, it
being much better to allow this task
to be put off until short time previ-
GUS to planting While there are a
number of methods of treating seed.
there is no question but what the for
maldehyde method is fully as good
as any, while at the same time there
is not the danger in its use that there
is in the use of some of the deadly

RAsPBERRIEs AND BLACKBER.
RIES.

Mistakes are often made in trying
to grow raspberries and blackberries
by neglecting the plants after the
first year. and they are failures to the
extent of the neglect given them.
This is a rule that will hold good in
almost any kind of management. The
best way to do is to keep them clean,
keeping them in rows and giving them
good and frequent cultivation. 1t may
be necessary to stir occasionally with
a stirring pillow. The best plan is to
plant the rows so far apart that a
disc will pass between the rows and
the stirring. and cultivation may be
done with this implement.

LOST THE BASS DRUM.
Absolute Proof That Such a Thinq Is

Absolute Proof That Such a Thing Is
Possible.
The man who lost the bass drum has
been found.
Newspaper paragraphers have made
merry with the absent-minded man,
and he has been accused of all sorts
of deeds of omission and commission.
Therefore some of the stories told at
his expense have been taken in a
Pickwickian sense. The tale that a
man said he was so absent-minded
that at one time he lost bass drum
has always been considered a mere
joke.
Originally this story may have been
a fable, but now II is true. A man
has actually lost bass drum, and all
the members of an Iowa band will
bear witness to the fact.

Barley and peas is another forage

turing. The barley and peas should
be sown at the rate of one and one
half bushels of each per acre, and the
crop may be sown as late as the first
week in August. We have used this
crop for soiling purposes as late as
the middle of November. Some farm.
ers have had poor success in grow
ing the peas when sown in the sum-

TEACH THE BOYS TO p1ow.

Some of our readers may doubt the
assertion, but 1t is true, nevertheless,
that very large per cent. of the boys
on farms do not know how to plow.
Too often the fault lies with the par
ent in not giving the boy instructions
at the beginning. The young boys
start out to pillow when scarcely old
enough to handle the team and i'm
plement. Not being able to guide the
plow, it is the most natural thing in
the world for the boy to cling to the
handles and endeavor to keep up with
the procession. The team is allowed
TO weave from right to left, and leave
a furrow like a snake track A boy
cannot swing the plow at the corners,
end SO he throws it over and drags
around the ends. While driving one
day we noticed a young man pretend
ing to cultivate an orchard of young
fruit trees. The horse was walking
at his utmost speed, the lines were
swinging to and fro, the cultivator
was bobbing about like tin can on
dogs tail, and the boy was holding
to the handles of the cultivator and
being jerked along with the combina-
ton. The soil was being scratched
over about like the work of flock
of hens.
The depth of plowing in gardens de-
pends on the formation of the soil
and soil layers and on the kinds of
crops that are to be grown. Land in
which the compact, clayey subsoil
l., <,I.
be plowed deep in the effort to deepen
the layer of tillable soil. There is lit
tie danger that such soil will leach,
however deeply plowed. On the other
hand lands sandy and leachy should
be plowed not deeper than necessary,
as it is desired to compact the lower
soil by leaving it untouched by the
plow
Land for any kind of fruit or vege-
table growing should be well drained
either naturally or artificially. If it
gets warm and friable early in the
spring the probability is in favor of
its having a natural under drainage.
If it is slow in getting into shape the
necessity for tile draining is indi-
Gated. Good drainage improves the
soil in two ways; it carries off the
superfiuous water and changes the
texture of the soil to a condition more
favorable for plant growth Well
drained clay soil is frequently i'm
proved by the freezing, which sep
arates the particles; the water being
taken away from underneath removes
the danger of pudding" which would
repack the clay particles.
