BOHEMIAN FARMERS COMBINE.
Sugar Beet Growers Organize and
wrest Concessions from ReGners.

Consul Joseph l. Britain sends the in
formation from Prague that the growers
of sugar beets In Bohemia have formed
an organization to maintain prices, and
have presented a virtual ultmatum 10
the rehners, demanding higher prices for
their beets or no beets Will be grown.
The consul continues:
Two factors have contributed toward
the planters being able to take such n pO-
sition. During the past years II has been
the custom for the refiners 10 advance
money 10 the planters on the growing
crops before they were harvested. By
so doing the beet growers would be TO
a certain extent dependent upon the re-
finers when the crop OF beets was ready
for delivery at the sugar mills. This year
It is said that the bankers have encour-
aged the farmers organization
Again the prices for grain in Bohemia
have materially advanced. making the
raising of grain more profitable than rails
ing sugar beets at such low prices.
The refiners. realizing their dependence
upon the planters for their supply OF
beets have finally recognized the plant
ers organization, and have acceded tC
most of its demands. Last year the price
/ paid for beets was $3.50 per t3l, and this
/ year the price will be 1886 per ton. Last
year the yield OF sugar beets in Bo-
hemia was 4.O5l. 800 tons. BY the term:
of the agreement between the refiner!
and planters there is to be no discrimina
ton. The small farmer who produces
few tons of beets will receive as mucl
per ton as his more fortunate neighbo
who produces q larger quantity.

REFRIGERATION WITHOUT ICE.
British Inventor Applies Principle

ice. Following is part Of the description:

BOATS MADE OF CONCRETE.
Italians Find Substitute for Wood
or Steel in ShipbuIldIng.

An Italian correspondent Of the London
Times predicts that the use Of concrete
in boat building will largely take the
place Of iron and steel. He says:
Large boats Of re-enforced concrete have
been built already in this country, and
five OF these of 40 tons and more, were
on commission for the Italian navy The
first Of these boats. a 12O-tOn barge, was
built in 1906 on the plans Of Mr.. Gabel-
nni. an Italian who has given his whole
attention to re-enforced concrete, and
who for many years has been conducting
experiments with this class Of material
This boat. which was built with double
bottom and Of the cellular type was sub
mitted to severe tests in the Spezia arse
nal, where a much larger boat built OF
iron and with an iron ram was directed
against it Without producing any consid-
erable damage TO IL. After some time,
and in consequence Of the satisfactory
results given by this first boat. four more
Of these barges were ordered on account
Of the Italian navy. II is my opinion
that. owing TO the unfavorable conditions
OF Italy as an iron-producing country. the
| problem Of re-enforced concrete for ships
will meet with a good deal Of attention
here. and that experiments and trials or
/ a much larger and more important scale
Will shortly be conducted.
