Sugar B0etS in Virginia

When the Norfolk & Western
Railway, through its Agricultural
Department instituted its campaign
of experimental tests in the plant
ing of Sugar Beets, it did not take
this matter up without due consid-
Grafton and without great encour-
agement from those who have
made sugar beet growing a special
ty for years. We operated. how
ever, under numerous handicap>
in this experimental work, for the
following reasons:
In the first place. we were rather
late IN getting the farmers who
undertook To cultivate plots, to
plant their seed. and furthermore
most Of the seed beds had not been
properly prepared for the plant
ing. Secondly. our Virginia agri-
culturists. being totally unfamiliar
with crops Of this kind, did not all
of them appreciate the necessity of
proper thinning and thorough cuI-
tivation and out of the two hundred
or more farmers who co-operated
with us, we found but one man
who had a garden drill and planter
suitable for the planting and cul-
tivation of garden crops. We
therefore operated under this diff

above given a comprehensive idea
of what the beet sugar industry
means TO a community.
/ have had more or less personal
experience with this industry, my
self, having resided in Chino, Cal
ifornia in 1891 when the large
Oxnard plant was installed at that
point, lands in the Chino district
were selling for an average of So. 90
and $500 per acre. The Oxnards
came in and purchased some four
teen thousand acres, built irrigat-
ing canals at total cost of not to
exceed $500 or $4.O0 per acre and
then sold the lands at an average
price of from $4,000 to $4,000 per
acre according to location. This
plant has been in successful opera
ton ever since.
The plant at Alvarado was estab-
lished in 1879 and has been in sue
cessful operation ever since. In
November issue of National Maya
zine published at Washington, ID.
c., by the Chapple Publishing
Company, can be found a very
interesting and instructive article
under the caption of Philippine
Free Sugar. In this article Mr..
Frank p. Fogg shows the extent
Of the ougar industry in America,
and just what profits are being Oh
tanned ia different districts whrr,
the be-! j. grown. He states that
one question asked by dozens Of
bankers in all sugar beet distric.-
was, what gross profits per acre
are your farmers able to secure in
beet cultured" The lowest report
received was $25. 90 and the highest
$4,000. The average of all was
500. 40 per acre.
No agricultural community can
attain its full measure of prosperity
where the farms or ranches all com
prise large acreage and where
the land is held by few owners
who are content with slight pro-
fit per acre which nets them a good
return on large range. Any
industry that will pay sufficient
returns to induce the small farmer
to come in and purchase land for
intensive cultivation of q paying
crop Is absolutely the best and
Clarke courier. [volume] (Berryville, Va.) 1869-1997, 1908-12-23

most desirable development that
can come to that community. The
best grazing sections in this country
cannot pay in excess of from 500
to $500 per acre net returns on n
grazing proposition. In order TO
make it profitable, land must be
held in large tracts of from several
thousand acres and the party who
owns land under these circum-
stances does not spend or distribute
his profits in the community to the
extent that dozen owners of
smaller land areas would do.
In the course of the next few
weeks, am going over the terri
tory from Abingdon in the South
west to Berryville in the Valley,
personally, and will want to meet
the business men and the farmers
of each sections where we have
been conducting operations with
view of arranging for three or four
solid acres to be planted in each
community this year and cultivated
to the very best possible advantage.
If we can get the hearty co-opera-
ton that we should receive we
have every reason to believe that
we will be able to locate a factory

Washington, July 30.-It is ex-
pected that the interstate commerce
commission will be called upon, by
the last of the week, to file the new
freight tariff of the railroads com
prising the freight associations south
of the Ohio and east of the Mississ-
ippi rivers.As thirty days must elapse
before tariffs become effective, the
new rates will not be in force before
September /
The advance will be from four to
ten cents hundred pounds, horizon
tally to correspond with the advance
decided on by the Southwestern
Freight Association recently. The ad-
vance was decided on after much
opposition on the part of certain
railroad executives, who maintained
that an advance of rates at the pre-
sent time was impolitic, but this op-
position was finally won over by the
argument that in order to meet the
various increased expenses in rates
was absolutely necessary.

Then Mexico's Archaeological Had
Trouble With the Natives.
The devout worshipers of the lit
tie parish church of Tlalnepantla,
Mexico, are resisting an attempt on
the part of the federal government
to remove the Toltec goddess of
plenty which has quietly reposed in
the ancient church for more than
three centuries The government is
sued an order recently for the remov-
al of this idol to the national mus
cum of the City of Mexico. When
the men who were sent to the town
to take the idol out of the church
made known to the parishioners the
object of their visit the populace
made violent protest. The order has
not yet been obeyed and it is consid-
cred probable that the idol will be
permitted to remain where it is
This goddess of plenty is an enor
nous monolith, which represents
some of the finest work of the peo-
pie of which the Aztecs were the ru-
ling tribe. 1t represents a gigantic
woman, whose garments are richly
carved in representation of ears of
corn and wheat, and pleasantly con-
trasts both in features and dress
with the Aztec goddess of serpents
now in the museum. The discovery of
the idol was made only recently by
Leopold Batres, the government ar
chaeologist, who happened to visit
the little parish church. 1t was upon
his suggestion that 1t was ordered
removed to the nations collection
The church in which this idol was
found is one of the Oldest in Mexi-
CO, but it heretofore has received
very little attention from the ar
chaeologist. 1t has handsome inter-
Tor and contains number of paint
ings which are said to be the work
of old masters.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion-of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound of imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

AEROPLANE SPECIFICATIONS
The Governments Tests at Fort
Meyer Next Month Will BE
Severe Ones

There is to be no fooling about the
government aeroplane tests at Fort
Meyer, Va, August 10. First, the
machine must carry two persons hav-
ing combined weight of $50 pounds
and sufficient fuel for a flight of 125
miles 1t must be constructed so as.
to be assembled and ready for oper~
alton in one hour, or taken apart
and packed in an army wagon in the
same period of time. 1t must have
speed of forty miles an hour in still
air, and if it makes less than thirty
six miles an hour it will be rejected.
The speed is to be determined by
taking an average of the time over
measured course of more than five
miles, against and with the wind.
1t must make an endurance flight
of at least one hour, continuously in
the air, and must return to the start
ing point and land without injury.
During the flight it must be steered
III ali ulTeCllOHS anu DIT all tlllcS Ue
under perfect control and equili-
brium. 1t must be so designed as to
ascend in any country which may be
encountered in field service It
should be sufficiently simple in con-
struction and operation to permit an
intelligent man to become proficient
in its use in a reasonable time, and
must be provided with some device
of safe descent in case of accident to
the propelling machinery. Three
trials will be allowed for speed and
three for endurance, both tests to be
completed within thirty days from
the date of delivery.
The Wrights were given 200 days
in which to complete their machine
and Herring 1876 days, therefore the
Herring machine will have its trial
first. The Wrights are to receive
s25, 200 for their machine if it
makes forty miles an hour, with 10
per cent increase for every mile over
that and like deduction for every
mile under forty down to thirty-six
at which point it will be rejected
