The supper and fair given by the

Justice North's court was engaged
Tuesday in the trial of the suit Of P. L..
Pierce against Will Schumacher, the
contractor, in which the plaintiff sought
to recover damages on account of al
legged defective work on the Pierce res
idence. A jury listened to the evidence
and brought in verdict in favor of the
defendant. Attys. Clark of Cambridge
and Gettle appeared for the parties.
Sugar beet growers, it appears,
have been in practice of contracting
acreage with both of the sugar factor
les operating in this section and there
by keeping check upon the returns re-
ceived and comparing statements upon
the results obtained. They seem to be-
lieve they will then be better able to
tell when they are getting fair deal.
A grower living near town has left at
this office his statements of crop,
part delivered to the GAINESVILLE COM
pany and part to the Madison company,
which show variation hard to recon-
Gle. The beets We're planted the same
time, received the same cultivation and
were harvested and marketed the same
month. The test on those shipped to
GAINESVILLE is reported at 1876, while the
Madison test is given as III. The net
receipts for the former were 5000 per
ton and the other $40, less the freight
of 25c per ton. Another neighbor re-
ports that every other pile of beets
were sent to one factory while the 9TH
er half of the field went to another,
and his returns did not vary much from
the first case recited. The conclusion
derived from these instances, the
farmers say, is that there is either a
mistake somewhere in one factory or
the other or studied effort to take
advantage in the settlement. Which
ever it was is left for the grower to
find out.
