CFronm Mondays Daily)

For the most successful growing
of bccts IN quantities large enough
TO supply the factories Of the largo
size which manufacturing companies
nave found the most profitable, Is
required the work OF great many
people and It has been pointed out as
a CRITICS OF the beet growing prop
osltion in the Panhandle that this
greatly increased amount OF labor Is
not available. In answer to this crit
lcism, Colonel II. T. Grom writes as
follows and cites proof of his state
mcnt that all that Is needed now to
establish the industry is to thor
oughly demonstrate that beets can
be successfully grown in the Pan
handle:
ITO those not familiar with grow
ing sugar beets the question OF labor
seems an insurmountable difficulty.
There is an abundance Of labor that
is available for this work, but to get
skilled beet growers individual or
corporate effort is necessary to in
duce 1t to come to new beet fields.
AN Associated Press dispatch
dated KeuOsha, Wis, says: Three
hundred and ten men, women and
children arrived in Kenosha on
Tuesday evening. They were tick
eted to the GAINESVILLE Beet Sugar
| company, which recently leased u
large amount Of land in this and
surrounding counties and the people,
who are experts in the business Of
raising sugar beets, were brought
here from Germany to teach local
farmers the industry. In billing the
people the children were billed as so

when the crop Of boets now being
planted in the Panhandle have ma

central point in the Panhandle.
Then great number of beet grow
crs will be wanted. The same cf-
fort that has induced them to 20 to
Wisconsin from Germany will bring
them to the Panhandle Labor will
not be lacking, the important work
is that now in hand. Grow the beets
and convince capital that no place
on earth has such advantages as the
Panhandle for producing them. Then
labor will come, factories will come.

COURT GOES INTO
ELECTION CASES
(From Mondays Dally.)

Under Judge II. G.. Hendricks, Of
Wheeler county, the local option
election cases were resumed this
morning and the day has been spent
in preliminary fencing between the
opposing attorneys. The actual trial
OF the contest cannot begin before
Monday and may not begin till later
In the week.
Oppose Trying Injunction Case.
Arguing that the suit of the plain
tiffs for an injunction which was
first refused by Judge Browning and
later granted by judge at Calves
ton. was actually contest of the
election and therefore entitled to
trial before the other case Is begun,
the attorneys for the pros moved this
morning to take up the trial Of the
injunction in order to see whether
that injunction might not be dis
solved at once and the publication Of
the prohibition order be made In ac-
cordance with the original instruction
OF the commissioners court. The
attorneys for the plaintiff opposed
this and argued that the court should
go at once into the trial of the con-
test case proper which is styled z. H.
Savage ct al against II. l.. Umphres
ct al. In support OF their rconten-
ton. they quoted from the opinion
OF the superior court which refused
the plaintiffs application for writ Of
error on the ground that the petit
ton for an injunction was an attempt
to contest the election and should
properly come before the trial court
as provided for by statute. Further
more the attorneys for the plaintiff
called the attention of the court to
the fact that the supreme court had
not yet sent mandate to this court,
that as the plaintiffs had moved for
rehearing of the case before the
supreme court, such mandate could
not be presented here until that mo-
ton before the supreme court is de-
cided and the trial court here could
not take up a case which was still
lending before the supreme court.

FACTS ABOUT FEEDING CATTLE,

The Missouri experiment station
has issued an interesting report on
cattle feeding based on information
gained from nearly 1000 of the
most successful cattle feeders in
Missouri, Iowa and Illinois. It rep
resents experience covering a period
of nearly twenty years, and cattle
TO the number OF about two million
head.
The average length OF the full
feeding period was III days, or prac-
tically six months. The average
weight of the steer yielding the
greatest profit was 1915 pounds in
Missouri; 1,S5S pounds in Iowa; H.
$50 in Illinois, and 1,4OO in Nebras-
ka; general average 1867 pounds.

The association is TO wage war

THE WATER QUESTION.

Once more we are face to face
with the water problem. Once again
we find that the problem is not
solved
In order TO be able to give our
readers correct idea OF the water
situation. the writer, in company
with the mayor, one alderman and
other citizens, visited the water plant
yesterday to make some inspections
and learn some facts.
Five out OF six new wells east OF
the Santa Fe tracks are not In use
as yet, owing to the delay in ship
ment of pumps. Water mains con-
Meeting with the wells and leading
TO the supply tanks are laid, motors
nave been installed and all Is In read
mess for immediate action on arri-
val of the pumps,
Manager White asserts that when
once he starts the new wells he will
be able to deliver therefrom a daily
supply OF water aggregating 400, 900
gallons. For present needs this
would be amply sufficient. But with
the prospect before US OF city Of
twice our size within a few years
we win soon be up with the water
supply and again face to face with
the problem.
While we are not DESTROYS OF MAX
ing apologies for the water company,
We are inclined to do them justice
During the past year, under Mr..
Whites direction, much has been
done and at least something accom-
plished. The company expended
large sums of money in experiments
An the deep wells drilled west OF
the city proved failure In that they
did not furnish the necessary guam
tity OF water TO make them useful
The site west of the city selected
for surface water storage and pump
ing station was abandoned, engin-
GERS pronounclng the plan impracti-
cable. Circumstances have been
against tho company and they have
paid high price for their present
equipment.
One point OF tho water question ia
particularly worthy OF consideration.
Win the sheet water supply always
hold out? The sheet Of water rum
ming at various depths throughout
the Panhandle country has a source
somewhere. Where that source may
be has thus far only been a matter
OF guess and conjecture. WIN that
source fail some time or other?
This point may seem far
fetched. but it is a point which IL
might be well to take into consid-
GRAFTON.
The water company has not grown
rich in Amarillo. II is safe to say
they would gladly take what they
have expended in Amarillo and turn
the business over to others. But
such a step could not bring imme.
diate relief to the city and possibly
might make matters worse
The city councn should get In
touch with the company and It's
plans. They should act as an adj
visory board in the work OF solving
q grave problem. They should en-
courage the management in every
possible way to plan and build and
keep the system up with the growth
and needs OF the city.
In the meantime our people should
help in relieving the Inconvenience
OF the temporary shortage by avoid
ing the waste OF water.

Homeseekers and prospective in

limits. Here they will see a practical
demonstration OF Panhandle posi-
bilities from an agricultural stand
point. without irrigation or fertili-
cation crops are being raised that
are not surpassed by any OF the older
states. It's worth any mans time
to visit the experiment station.

Texas cities to make hard fight for
some desirable addition 10 their re-

been won, proceed to neglect what
