Sugar Meeting at La lara.

Woodmen nall thursday afternoon.
They have been in the valley three
or four weeks presenting a beet
sugar factory proposition to the
people.
d. E. Newcomb presided at the
meeting and introduced Mr.. barley
who enlarged upon the advantages
that would come to the valley from
the building of a factory. He
said that Mr.. Hoover had been
instrumental in building the first
sugar factory in Colorado and had
recently finished smelter at
Georgetown. They wanted the
support of the farmers of the val
ley and $4,000 as an evidence of
good will
Mr.. Hoover also addressed the
meeting. He stated that for his
work in introducing the sugar in
dustry into Colorado he had not
received one cent. Others had
reaped the benefits. 1t was to
guard against a similar experience
that he asked the raising of "a fund
of $4,000 to guarantee expenses
and salary before beginning work
on his attempt to secure 81 100000
to build an Independent factory at
Alamosa.
Mr. Newcomb asked what was
promised for the $4,000? How
was it to be expended and what
assurance had the contributors
that they would get value received? ?
Mr.. Hoover said he would give his
personal assurance that he would
devote year, if necessary, to the
work of getting capital for the
factory, but he could not guarantee
that it would be built The gen
tlemen said that if they were in
position to guarantee "a factory
they might obtain possibly S250,OOO
for locating it, but they had no
such promise to make. They
would use their best efforts, that
was all they could promise The
$4,000 was to be paid into the
hands of an executive committee
consisting of James A. Kelley of
Monte Vista, Chris Wallrich of
Alamosa and w. A. Braiden of La
Jara. The executive committee
would audit all bills and exercise
a general supervision over the ex-
penditure of the funds.
In reply to question Mr.. Dar-
ley stated that they did not repre-
sent the Western Sugar Company
now in control of the sugar bust
ness in Colorado. They proposed
an Independent factory and main
tained that such factories had been
built in Colorado but were of
course afterwards sold to the
Western Sugar Company He said
they understood that end of the
business and it did not concern
the public.
A motion was passed that La
Jara and Sanford raise 81 600 and
express confidence and in view of
the limited attendance it seems
only right that the people who will
be asked to contribute be given an
outline at least of the proceedings
1t would appear that if the gen
tlemen are attempting to build Il
sugar factory without the consent
of the sugar trust, their efforts |
must be in vain. Without such |
consent the building of the factory
would be difficult and the market
ing of its product at fair price
impossible. If the gentlemen have
the approval of the sugar trust,
then their task is easy and only
amounts to the securing of a few
hundred beet contracts and pre-
liminary work in forming "a COM
pany, for which service one or
two thousand dollars should be
ample.
A little more light and less gum
shoe work cannot fail to be bene-
fetal in many of the financial

Alfalfa in Western Michigan.

THE below article, from the pen OF

ham now at Petoskey-has been pub
lished in number OF newspapers in
the Western Michigan district. 1t
will be OF particular interest TO farm
ers bereabouts az the experiments
we're carried out On the land now own
ed by the East Jordan Iron Furnace
and Chemical Plant.
FIRST YEAR.
On May 28th, 1902, l sowed a field
of 81 acres to alfalfa alone, at the rate
OF twelve quarts to the acre without
inocculation. The soil was very
light dry sand and had been cleared
aud cropped for fifteen years without
manure till Ia 1901, when manured
ion of the field and planted the

in order 20 give IL thorough cultiva-
tion aud exterminats all June grass
and weeds. La the spriug Of 1902,
disked the ground and gave 1t several
thorough CIVILIZATIONS ia order TO Kill
all weeds. The alfalfa made good
even start all over the field and as
soon as it began To blossom, 1 cut IL
with a mower and let IL remain where
it fell. When IL came on and began
80 blossom a second time, ] moved 1t
again as before and left the crop on
the ground. In the spring Of 1908
after the alfalfa had made growth
of about four inches, turned onto it
nights a span Of horses weighing

every> week day kept very tat aud

season, as 1t began to blossom, | now

Much Tax Homestead Lands.

Lansing, Mich, Nov % The state
has approx mately million and half
acres OF lands which are classed a
tax homestead lands. Auditor Gen
eral Fuller is completing the neces-
sary investigation in preparation TO
the transfer TO the land department
of 32S. .265 acres Of these lands, and
then it is expected the public domain
commission will take STEPS to sci
apart in each county having tax home
stead lands, tract for rerorestation
purposes. The state will have charge
of the tract, but it will be for he ed
ucation and benefit of the people of
the county.
1t is surprising the amount of tax
homestead lands that still remains in
counties which have been settled for
years. The eastern counties have 9l,-
40l acres, the western about the same,
and the upper peninsula about 81, ,l55
acres. There are only % counties Of
the SO which have less than 600 acres,
and % which have 40 state lands at
all. lngham has about leo acres,
Eaton has 81, Clinton, Genesee, Jack
son and Wayne have none, while Kent
has l2O, MuskegOn 100, and Saginaw
27l acres.
At meeting Of the public domain
comm ission recently it was decided TO
withdraw from sale the state lands in
Luce, KalKaska, Otsego, A pena, Pres
que Isle, Montmorency and Missaukee
counties, and certain portions OF land
in each of these counties will be re-
served to protect the second growth
timber
The commission will also endeavor
TO interest all farmers in forestry mat
ters aud establish nurseries wherever
IL is necessary.
An opinion Of Attorney General
Bird was r. 1dered TO the commissio q
in the ma 'er OF the tax title lands
which were purchased 10y the old for
estry commission. and no deeds of
which were ever registered. 1t show
ed that the commission had no right
to purchase these lands prior To the
act Of 1897, which means that the
money, amounting TO several hundred
dollars, expended by the old commits
sion, will never be recovered.
