new two-dollar bill, says: Success to
the new press and a prosperoes New
Year to the INDEPENDENT" Attached
to his letter of remittance was the
following poetic gem:
Lives of poor men Oft remind us.
Honest men won't stand chance;
The more we work there grow behind US
Bigger patches on our pants.
On our pants once new and glossy,
Now are stripes of different hue;
All because subscribers hnger,
And won't pay US what is due.
Then let's all be up and doing,
Send your mite, however small;
Or. when snow of winter strikes US.
We shall have no pants at all"
The two-dollar bill enclosed by Mr..
McCullah will make an artistic patch.

purchase of additional seed. This ad-
ditional amount was bought from
growers at Hamburg, Germany. costing
the Company the same as the other
seed.
Four .fifths of the seed used IN 1908
was the same kind and purchased of the
same Company or seed growers as that
used in 1906. The kind of Q eed use
in 1906, 1907 and 1908 were as follows:
the S. X. W. and S. S. from one seed
company, Standard from another, and
o. X. and Original from another, as
shown by the invoices and bills-of-lad-
ing from the respective seed companies
in Hamburg. Germany. None of the
seed furnished the beet growers came
from France.
The above facts were gained by a
careful inspection made by this COM
mittee of books of the Company. and
they are thorouahly reliable, for opera
tion of the factory depends wholly
upon accuracy of the reports.
The committee began with the hourly
reports made by the chemist to the
factory superintendent, which show the

beets, and regulate entire operation of
the factory. They then referred to
reports of the factory superintendent
to the general manager which must
correspond with reports of the chemist.
showing the number of bags of sugar
made from certain reported tonnage
of beets sliced, with the percentage of
sugar, as shown by the chemists re-
port
The committee then referred to the
general managers reports to the fac
tory company. and these were found
to correspond with all former reports
All showings were that where there
was best tonnage. the percent of sugar
was greatest
The books of the general manager
were thrown open for inspection of the
committees and found to show all con
tracts with beet seed growers, kind of
seed bought and amount of seed.
A complete record of the seed fur
nished growers is also kept and this
record shows the kind of seed and the
number of pounds furnished to each
The following tabulated report embodies
the names of growers who have made
use of different kinds of seed.
The Delta independent., 1909-01-08

The beet raisers in this part of the
Western Slope country have this year
considered that the Western Sugar and
Land Company has furnished seed that
gave high percent IN sugar and low
tonnage. After duly considering the
matter, a committee comprising Henry
Isensee. R. Shea, ]. E. Patton. F. G.
Myers and A. B. Wire vas selected to
visit the factory in Granp Junction for
the purpose of ascertaining real facts
in the matter.
The committee, after careful investi-
cation, finds that the decrease in sugar
contents for this year equals % pounds
per ton under 1907; making shortage
of IL, 064 bags on the same tonnage for
1908. The Sugar Factory Company in
1906 made three years contract with
eet seed growers at Hamburg, Ger
many, for the seed used in this country
in the years 10 6. 1907 and 1903.

SlDeet Charity of Country Editor.

Did you ever stop to think that a
newspaper is a charitable institution?
There are. however, times when the
charity Of the country editor seems to
have been wasted on barren soil, and
on such occasions he is justified in re-
fusing to again extend the same charity
to the same persons who fail to ap-
preciate his efforts. Such cases have
come to almost every editor in his
career. How many of them have sat
up nights studying how to assist some
candidate to land the office he is seek
ing? How many have spent column
after column of their paper telling of
the virtues of certain lodges, societies,
churches or individuals in an effort to
assist them over rongh places in their
journey? How many have donated
space and advertising to the successful
accomplishment Of some public enter
prise only to have that same church,
society, individual or officers of the
enterprise as soon as their ends were
obtained rush off to another printing
house or 60 to the city to have all their
printing done? This is too often the
case, and though it is hard indeed to
kill the charity of . country newspaper
man, such treatment is the surest way
to do so. Yes, the charity of the
country editor for his fellows is surely
great, but even this may be overworked
and abused sometimes.-Elgin (Ill.)

Influx of People to be Great.

New people are already beginning to
arrive-not merely visitors but people
coming to stay. That the influx this
year will be much beyond normal there
is every reason to believe. 1t is said
that the northern portion of our own
state is in a turmoil to get to the
Western Slope, where they have come
to realize that natural advantages as
we'll as climatic conditions are better.
Many there will compete with people
from every state in the Union for
property, homes and business locations
at Delta and other Western Slope
points.
