to produce the maximum yield Of
which the land is capable. A few
years ago the man who would have
said that 10 acres of farm land was a
sufficient area for a man to make a
good living from would have been
looked upon as a crank. Now there
are thousands Of little 10 acre and even
5 acre farms from which men are
making more money than many
others are from attempting to till 20
times that amount. That 10 acres,
under favorable conditions, will pro-
duce a living is recognized in bill
Which has just been passed by the
House Of Representatives and which
will likely be passed by the Senate at
this session. 1t Is an amendment to
the National Irrigation Law. Under
that law the homestead entry upon
public land irrigated by the govern
ment ranges from 40 to 100 acres, to
be determined by the Secretary Of the
Interior, according to the conditions Of
the reclamation. 1t was recognized,
at the time of the passage Of the law
in n02, that in some sections Of the
country 40 acres was an ample area
for farm. 1t is now seen, and ad-
mitted in the bill above mentioned
that 10 acres Is not too small sub
division under favorable conditions.
Another amendment was recently
made to the irrigation law allowing
the government to establish tOwn-sites
and divide the land hereunder, up
into various sized tracts ranging
from town-lots to 10 acre allotments.
When this bill which is now before the
Senate becomes law it will there
fore be possible for the government,
in any Of its irrigation projects to d.
vide and sub-divide its land into
town and farm units ranging all the
way from lots up to 100 acre farms.
MODEL RURAL SETTLEMENTS
This plan will doubtless develop
some Of the finest examples OF pros
porous rural communities to be found
anywhere in the world. Many OF the
best developed sections of some OF
the western states include great
numbers Of little farms and fruit
ranches of 5, 10 and 20 acres each,
where the appearance Is almost like
the outskirts of village. With such
a dense rural population there is an
ideal combination of practically all
the advantages to be found in city
life and the splendid results of country
work and living. Houses. in such a
community, are almost within stone.
throw of each other, the population Is
sufficiently large to support splendid
roads, good school and churches, water
and lighting improvements. good
sewerage, etc. Thus the lonesome
ness, the isolation and the many I'M
attractive features Of the big farm dis
appear while yet the joys and the
wholesomeness Of country life are all
present
The report accompanying this bill
states that since the passage Of the
irrigation act, it has developed that
on some Of the lands to be irrigated,
those in fruit and truck
farming districts, less than 40 acres
is needed for the support Of the family,
and in fact experience has demon
strated that the average farmer Is
more prosperous on small than on a
large irrigated farm. In view of this
of affairs 1t has been deemed
wise to reduce to 10 acres the mini
mum entry which may be allowed

year. The factories last year had a
total capacity for slicing 40,050 tons
Of beets daily.
In the acreage planted and the
sugar manufactured from beets Colo
RADIO leads, h..ving + vested $4,000
acres and manufactured $1,000 tons
Of sugar. Michigan came second in
acreage with 1900 acres, but third
in sugar with $4,000 tons. California
grew $1,000 acres and produced 49,
600 tons of sugar. The next states in
order were respectively Utah, Idaho,
Nebraska and Wisconsin with total
of 1900 acres and $4,000 tons of
sugar. Other states grew 1900 acres
of beets, producing about 1900 tons
of sugar, or a total for the United
States of 3O7,364 acres with produc-
ton of $4,000 tons Of sugar.
RAPID GROWTH LOOKED FOR.
Indications are favorable, tie report
states, to the further growth Of this
pursuit both in irrigation and rain
fall districts. "The industry is prov
ing to be powerful aid to CONNER
cial, agricultural and Industrial devel-
opment. 1t promotes irrigation, immi-
grafton, land settlement, the building
of railroads and trolley lines, the
making Of other improvements, and
the upbuilding of various Industrial
enterprises. Such results can only be
appreciated by those who have visited
the factory districts in Colorado,
Utah and Idaho, or in other newly
settled and improved areas throughout
the West. The beneficial effect of the
industry is also shown in the better
settled, more highly developed agri-
cultural districts of the East, where,
after beets have been given proper
trial in competition with established
crops, they are demonstrating their
staying qualities and potency in in
dustrial development"
GROWS MORE THAN 1T EATS.
One feature Of this report is a series
Of tables accompanied with outline
maps designed to show graphically the
magnitude of sugar production in that
part of the country lying west Of the
Mississippi River These indicate that
the estimated production of sugar
west of the Mississippi in 1906 will ex-
coed by $4,000 tons the amount of
sugar consumed in the same area in
1900 (the latest year for which we
have reliable census figures). The
estimate Of production for 1906 is
made by assuming that all the beet
sugar factories, including 10 new
ones, will run at their full capacity for
campaigns of 100 days, and that the
cane sugar product for 1906 will be the
same as that Of last year."

A LUXURIOUS AUTO.
Capt. Lars Anderson's Wonderful
Machine of French Manufacture.

OF all the automobiles ever turned
out by French or other manufacturers,
the one lately made for Capt. Lars
Anderson, of Boston, seems to be en-
titled to the prize for originality. 1t
is huge machine fitted up for long
journeys and in point of speed equals
any of the present-day touring cars.
The Anderson car is fitted out with
reversible furniture. There is CON-
bination bed and bureau that is Ger.

is cook stove and dining table ar
rangement that can be hauled out at
moments notice. The whole ma
chine, in fact, is kind of miniature

according to the fancy Of the owner
or his guests.

NELLIE GRANT SARTORIS.
SKETCH OF THE LOVELY WHITE
HOUSE BRIDE OF THE DAYS
OF GENERAL GRANT.
She Met Algernon Sartoris, Her
Future Husband, on Shipboard On
Return European rrip-ls Mother
of Three Children.

EUIuCS nuSDduOs Otl SuhPUOdEO I'll
Return European Trips Mother
of Three Children.
No American girl, not even President
Roosevelt's daughter, ever had more
brilliant wedding than Nellie Grant,
the beloved child of the great Civil
War hero; yet of late years the public,
which has always taken kindly inter-
est in Gen. Grants family, has heard
comparatively little of his only daugh-
ter.
When Mrs. Julia Dent Grant, widow
of the President, was living, her
daughter spent much time with her
mother at the latter's home in the city
of Washington, but since the death Of
her mother Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris
can scarcely be said to have had a fixed
residence in any American city. How
ever, she has always been very fond
OF st. Louis, and she made her home in
the Missouri metropolis during most of
the time the recent Worlds Fair was
in progress there. sN
Possibly the liking of Mrs. Sartoris
for st. Louis is to be attributed to the
fact that her birth, in August, 1855,
occurred at her Grandfather Dents
country home near St. Louis, 1.-THE birth
place of her mother. When General
Grant was elected President, and in
deed during the first three years that
he and his wife lived at the White
House, the daughter was at school.
Toward the close of President Grants
first term, however, Miss Nellie made
her social debut at the Presidential
mansion, and her cadet brother, home
from West Point, was her escort and
companion.
NET PRINCE CHARMING.
General Grants daughter made q
tour Of Europe soon after she formally
entered society, and everywhere re-
ceived the most distinguished atten-
tions from the royal families of Great
Britain and the Continent. On the
way home on the steamer Russia she
met Mr.. Sartoris, the Prince Charming
who was later to win her heart and
hand. From the moment that the en-
gagement of Miss Grant was an
nounced the whole American people
manifested an interest in the bride-to-
be which never found a parallel save
in the enthusiasm for Alice Roosevelt.
The fact that the lucky man was an
Englishman and not a citizen of the
republic, while it was matter of deep
regret to many persons, including
President Grant himself, was not al
lowed to cast damper upon the joyous
occasion. Mr.. Algernon Sartoris was
but twenty-three years of age and Miss
Grant was only nineteen when, on
Thursday, May 81, 1874, they were
