JOHNSON's CHANGE.
Time Extended For Him to Accept
 Challenge-Says He Is Willing.

London, Feb 27.-Up to noon to- day no word had been received from Jack" Johnson, the American color ed heavyweight pugilist in reply to an offer made by syndicate of Brit ish sportsmen for a match to take place in England between him and
 Tommy" Burns, holder of the heavy weight championship. The syndi- eate's representative, MT Kelly, in his offer, gave Johnson AS hours to come to a decision. His time ex- pired at midnight last night. In view of the possibility that Johnson could not be reached immediately, the syndicate extended the time for the acceptance of the offer.
 This morning Mir Kelly cabled to Johnson's representative that he must hear something immediately concerning Johnson"
 New York, Feb 27.-It is the inten- tion of Jack Johnson, the colored heavyweight pugilist, to accept the offer of syndicate of British sports men for match with Tommy Burns in England, according to an inter- view with Johnson published here today. Johnson is quoted as saying that while he at first regarded the terms of the proposed match as un- fair, he has now made up his r,ind to accept the offer.
 His main objection he said was to the smallness of the purse. He would be able to get chance at larger purse than that offered in England without leaving the United States, he said, but he hopes Burns will agree to bet of $5,0OO on the side. By betting 5000, I can double my end of the purse or quit without nickel" Johnson is quoted as say ing: "Either way suits me. If Burns can beat me am willing to quit the game. Any number of rounds will suit me from one to a thousand. In fact now that I have made up my mind to accept, Burns may name the terms"

suxar-Bee,t industry

Among many lines of work conducted,
should be noted the effort to build up
new agricultural industries. One OF the
most important of the industries de-
yeloped In recent years is the production
Of sugar from sugar beets. More or less
desultory work was done on sugar beets
as far back as 1867. In 1892, only six
factories were in operation In this
country, the combined output Of which
was a little over 27.0O0.0o0 pounds Of
sugar For twelve years The department
has consistently urged the production OF
this crop, with the result that there are
now no less than sixty-four factories in
operation, with a combined output OF
approximately one-half million short
tons Of sugar manufactured from beets'
with factory value Of r., 600, oco.
This industry has been built up by care
ful aud Systematic Investigation, expert
ment and demonstration In the matter
Of Increasing the percentages Of sugar in
the beet and the tonnage per acre, pre-
venting diseases, and in other ways
