To Treat Rabies Free in Richmond.

Persons suffering from rabies
will no longer have to 60 to oexpen-
sive Pasteur Institutes for treat
ment, but can 90 to Richmond and
be treated free of cost. This ap-
plies to all citizens Of Virginia.
Only those who can afford to pay
fort treatment are excluded from
this offer, according to statement
given out by the State Health De-
partment.
When the present outbreak of
rabies appeared, the State Health
Commissioner notified all who in
qulred regarding the treatment,
that the United States Public
Health and Marine Hospital Ser
vice, in Washington. was prepared
TO administer treatment TO all who
could not afford 10 pay for it.
This led to such demands on the
Washington department that no
more patients could be accom-
modated. Health Commissioner
Williams at once went TO Wash
ington and requested the Federal
authorities 10 send the rabies
emulsion to Richmond. where it
could be administered to citizens of
the State without cost. The Gov
ernment officials gave the necessary
consent and DR.. Williams will at
once make arrangements for the
treatment.
The Health Department cannot
of course care for those who may
wish the treatment, says the
official announcement of the De-
partment. Those who come to
Richmond must be prepared to pay
expenses of their board while here.
We will only give the treatment,
but, as this generally costs $50,
the saving TO the State will be
considerable. The treatment will
be given free TO those to whom the
regular charges will be a hardship.
All others will be referred to the
regular Pasteur Institutes.

Cost Of Raising Sugar BeetS

We have had many inquiries
from time to time as TO the cost of
raising sugar beets, and now that
the matter appears to be nearing
the point where the factory will be
located, we have secured the follow
ing facts from one of the foremost
sugar beet raisers in this country.
He hires all of his work done.
has all his beets hauled to the
factory. etc, and keeps an accurate
and careful record of every cent of
expense.
His expenses per acre are as
follows:
Flowing II inches deep in fall.
$3.50
Flowing in spring, $500.
Twice narrowing, 6Oc.
Rolling, 30c.
Seed, S1.SO.
Planting, 30c.
Thinning, $500.
Wedding, Sl.OO.
Rolling, 30c.
Cultivating three times, soc.
Flowing out beets, S1.5O.
Topping and loading, $500.
Hauling to factory, $500.
Total cost per acre, S26.2O.
Average cost per ton, S2.1S.
Average selling price, $3.50 to
$500 per ton.
Average tons per acre, 10 to Is.
As will be seen from the fore
going table, the expenses of pro-
duction are small as compared with
the receipts, it being a very com
mon occurrence for farmers to
clear above all expenses $25 to
$40 per acre.
The great sugar beet promoters
OF the country have made careful
investigation of the possibilities
through Virginia, and have found
that the Valley offers the best field
for them.
The only thing now in the way
is the securing of site where
sufficient acreage can be guaran-
teed.
Clarke county. with its magnifi-
cent farms, can safely offer 10000
acres of beets to the factory, and
we should exert every effort to
secure the establishment of a fac
tory az Berryville.
1t would mean the disbursement
of several million dollars annually
here, the erection of many new
homes, the increase of all mercan-
tile lines of business, and the i'm
provement of the town in every
way.
The COURIER will be glad to
publish the names of those who
will agree to put out beets, as well
as the number Of acres each one
would plant. Send us your name
and number of acres.
Such information will help US tc
make our arguments strong with
the beet factory people, and may
mean greater profit to YOU.
