PROGRESS OF OUR BEET SUGAR
INDUSTRY.
New York Sun

Twenty years ago the beet sugar out
put of the United States was about
5000, 900 pounds n year. The depart
ment of agriculture reports the produce
ton Of 1909 rs amounting to l .024 900, 600
pounds. a bulletin recently issued by
the department says: THE sugar in
dustry is rapidly assuming great i'm
portance in this country. No marrlfac-
turing industry SO intimately associated
with and dependent upon agriculture
has ever shown such wonderful devel-
opment, such far reaching influence in
the stimulation and upbuildng of the
whole systcm of agriculture" In 1901
there were in operation SO factories.
converting into sugar the beet product
tories handled the yield OF 420,262 acres.
California had 10 factories in operation.

sumption of the country In 1909 Is re-

HAPPY CANAL ZONE.

The interesting statement is made by
the Panama Canal commission that
at has been successful In preventing
the increased cost of living that has
been general elsewhere.
Could not the same commission favor
the world at large with Il Key to the
secret? How was it done? BY what
means was the iniquity OF high prices
averted? II this could be done In the
Canal zone. why not in other parts OF
the United States?
The Canal zone Is part of the United
States. The National government
manages 1t. The government collects
the taxes itself and 1t does not pay
n cent of tribute to trusts. There
Uncle Sam is the housckeeper and the
employer. He buys in the cheapest
market. wherever 1t may be, and he
controls the prices and keeps them
down to a reasonable level.
From which it would appear that II
Uncle Sam would undertake to do the

would be no high prices anywhere. But
that would be paternalism and Social.

RELATIONS WITH NlEXIco.
Portland Oregonlan,

The Immediate occasion of the out
break of Mexican ill-feeling toward
the United States seems to have been
the burning at the stake of II citizen
of our sister republic by party Of
Texans. This pastime has become so
popular in Arkansas aud Texas that it
probably eNcitcs surprise in those quar-
ters to learn that IT Is resented In Mex
leo. Is 1t not rather straining at n
gnat TO get angry over such trihe?
Doubtless the primitive character Of
Latin civilization accounts for the sin
Gular esthetic deficiencies of our neigh
bors in this direction. But we must not
ovcrpstmate the Importance of the
burning of Rodriguez by the frolick-
some Texans of Rock Springs Very
likely this festive event was no more
than q match applied to fuse which
was already well prepared. For many
years there has been no love wasted
between the rough and dare devil ele-
ments on both sides of the border
Their mutual hatred leads to numerous
murders and keeps up n pretty con-
slant state of petty warfare. Cattle
thieves from either country find ready
protection in the other. Incursions OF
armed bands of cowboys and other hard
cases to take, summary vengeance for
wrongs suffered. keep the fire of wrath
burning and of late years numerous
Mexican political refugees have helped
stir UP trouble, Many border Ameri-
cans sympathize with them The Mex
lean authorities naturally seek to re-
claim them. Perhaps no recent matter
has cmbittcrcd the international feel
Ing along the border more than this
trouble over refugees Fleeing from the
cruelty of the tyrant, Daz," as some
of the flaming newspapers put it.

Items Of Interest to All Farmers
In the State Of Utah

The following suggestions have been
made By a prominent farmer Of Utah
county in which he points out the nc
ccssity Of laws by the legislature OF
the State uf Utah compelling farmers,
gardeners and orchardists throughout
tho state to take care of weeds and
other obnoxious articles permitted to
grow on the farms, gardens and or
chards of the people of this great state.
He points to the fact that there are
many very careless farmers in this
state who are permitting weeds of vari-
GUS kinds 10 grow on their premises.
this curtniliEs their crops both in quail
t. and quantity, and at the same time
scattering seeds, which effects the
crops and lands of his neighbors and
does injuries to the county at large
which will take n long time to cradi-
cate.
II the farm products are in future
to be placed on the markets of the
county under the same tests aS fruits
and are now being tested and only
the best can be sold at top prices, then
It behoores the farmer, gardener and
orchardist to remove from his prem
ises all obnoxious weeds and other
growth which are now so widely per-
United to grow instead of healthful and
paying crops.
Merchants are beginning to realize
this and In many instances are already
importing into Utah carloads of grain
from adjoining states because of the
superior quality of said grains.
This on It's face looks bad for Utah
farmers and II continued will bring
ruin to the localities which permit such
conditions to prevail and is bad from

DISTURBANCES IN MEXICO.

The disturbances in Mexico seem to
have grown to actual revolution. When
first noted in the dispatches 1t was
added that the government would soon
be masters of the situation. At present
the government apparently has It's
hands full, From many parts of the
Republic come reports of disorders and
violence, and the army Is unreliable.
being to q large extent in sympathy
with the rebellion.
The United States government Is not
going to interfere in the affairs of the
sister republic. unless affairs come
to such II pass that foreign Interference
European power will be permitted to in
tervene. Troops are being dispatched
to tho border line to maintain order and
prevent violation of international rela-
tons. At the same time our govern
incnt ought to notify undertaking mag
azines that the efforts now being put
forth to arouse public sentiment in this
country against President Diaz and the
Mexicans generally Is dangerous bust
ness ut present. They ought to be made
to understand that the muchrakcr who
processes sympathy for the Mexican
and charactcri2es the government as
tyranny. Is an unsafe person. If there
must be undertaking, they might find
n theme in the treatment accorded
black labor in some parts OF the United
States and let Mexico With its poems
alone. For in times of excitement it Is
not safe to lay mines that little spark
may ignite.
The rule of Diaz is not popular but
could Mexico have been redeemed by
any other means than those adopted by
him? That he Is using his power ana
influence for the good of the people
and not for the benefit OF the few. Is
generaly admitted. Some illustrations
of the Dnz tyranny was given a few
months ago in a correspondence from
the City of Mexico;
"A few years ago the machinsts of
the Mexican Central Railway went on
strike. Da2 sent for the leaders

ness and indifference on the part of
| those who allow weeds to grow on their

In addition to this great evil existing
among farmers OF this county. the ad :
Nocate of these suggestions. Justly
complains of the slothful and unwise
conditions prevailing In Il good many
localities, wherein users of irrigation
water are flooding streets. roads and
alleys in the district with water from
their farms which ought to be used on
the farm itself. In n great many in
stances not nearly enough water Is
owned to irrigate the farm)
This misuse OF water not only brings
loss to the farmer himself. hut destroys
valuable roads. q great deal better OF

He suggests that the laws of the
state made by our next legislature
should deal properly with these impor-
tant questions and should be so framed
as to make 1t misdemeanor to allow
such conditions. and to punish those
who are SO careless ms to allow them to
exist, by fines, Imprisonment etc
AS TO orchards. this suggestion is
that people should be compelled to
spray trees. no matter how many or
how few trees they may have. To en-
force the provisions of such laws that
may be enacted by the legislature, It is
suggested that competent inspectors or
other officers be appointed to carry into
effect such laws In every district or
locality of the state

PULLING TOGETHER COUNTS.

BY the census figures, San francisco
II now has 4i6,9l9 inhabitants, and tho
increase is 74.l3O. When it is con-
sidered that the earthquake drove
away thousands; that the bnbonic
plague threatened the lives of many.

places at one time was particularly
nauseating. the growth is rcmarkable.

In our own City things have been

we hold that it is not what 1t ough.
