To the Editor of The Alma Record /:
feel it my duty to saw few words
in regard to the sugar beet acreage
situation In this locality if you will
kindly publish the same In your
valuable paper
| find in my travel over this country
that the Owosso sugar people are
nearly every where and telling all
kinds of tales to catch the busy farmer.
Now my frieds do YOU not know that
there is just as good country around
Owosso as we have here and if the
Owosso Sugar Co did all they agreed to
do thew would get all the acreage
needed at home for one factory. When
we are producing enough beets to sup
PLY two factories Now brother
farmers do you not know that there
are no factories in Michigan that are
using the fsmer better than our local
institution. Just stop and think for a
minute what our factory has done for
us What is YOUR farm worth To day
and what was it worth before the
factory came? Do you ever stop to
think how much more practical our
beet farmers are than they were before
thew raised beets? The most of them
are out of debt and have money in the
bank Have you ever asked our local
factory for any thing reasonable that
thew have not granted itp When you
wanted field man or wanted money to
work your beets have you not always
got il if YOU had right to get itH
Will the Owosso factory do this for you
Have you forgot how some outside
factory used you only few years ago?
Do you not know that when you are
rsising bees for our factory YOU are
leaving the most of the money in our
home towns and do YOU not know that
when you are iniuring our town and
institutions that you are injuring
yourself accordingly
Brother farmers am not writing
contracts for any factory IL is only the
personal interest l am taking in our
home industris that has set me to
thinking. and I wanted to set the
farmers thinking that has been caught.

COMMUNICATED.

February 21st. 1910
Some people do not seem to under
stand the little clause which the Sugar
Companies are attaching TO or printing
in their contracts The same r5sds
like this or these are nearly the same
words on all the contracts of the diff
ferent COMPANIES,
The grower of beets under this
contract is guaranteed a urice OF not
less than $500 per ton exclusive of
freight
This means that if the bees do not
test enough to bring s. and raw the
freight, the sugar companies are
losers and will make the net price s.
to the farmers regardless of test If
thew test more than enough to make
81 and the freight the grower gets his
extra amount according to the test, or
in other words it makes the per cent
contract equal to the fiat under all con-
ditions and as Iuch better as the test
allows
1t does not mean that the basis of
the per cent contract. viz. $3.50 for
- per cent beets, is changed to 81
The agents of some of the companies,
either ignorantlv or maliciously, are
telling the farmers that the basis of
the contract is changed from S4 80 to
IS. which is dead wrong. Don't be
fooled bv any such talk

Is demonstrated by the personnel of

AS had been predicted, Benjamin

Mr.. Briscoe, besides being at the
helm of the Maxwell Briscoe Motor
company, is interested in many con-
Germs connected with the industry.
Among the many positions which he
holds is the presidency of the Manu-
facturers' Contest association, having
recently been elected for the second
time. and is a director of the American
Automobile association, beth positions
being of a complimentary nature in
honor of his high standing in the in

pired by limitation. He was guiding

that association is, to very great
extent due to his untiring efforts.
With such men at the helm of the

TO KILL TWO OCCUPANTS
Nick Nikrent and Companion Have a
Narrow Escape on Street
Grade at Bakersfield

Returning from Bakersfield and the
oil fields the other evening with Mike
Nikrent at the wheel of a car not a
Buick, being requested to drive the
machine by the owner of the car, the
two set out for Los Angeles and mad
an exciting adventure on the way
home.
While ascending a heavy grade the
car took to baking and refused TO go
farther on it's way, but instead be-
came imbued with the idea that IT
should be going the opposite direction.
Nick tried ali in his power to hold the
machine on the forward gear. but the
more determined the freaky automo-
bile became, and finally took to going
backwards.
Nikrent tried to stall his engine, the
brakes refusing to work, and down the
hill the car sped at "a terrific gait tail
end first. Nothing would work, how
ever hard the driver worked, until the
machine took to the side of the bank.
The owner of the car jumped safely
and Nick was thrown from the seat,
alighting safely on his feet. while the
car made two clever somersaults, fand-
ing upside down.
After struggling with 1t. the car was
again placed on it's wheels by the use
of jacks, and, ashamed of its per-
formance and attempt at taking the
lives of two occupants, or at least Sc
riously injuring them, it proceeded on
it's way to Los Angeles with not a
scratch on either of the two men in
the car,

FRANKLIN HANGS ONTO
CROSS COUNTRY RECORD

For four years the transcontinental
automobile record has been held at
fifteen days. two hours and twelve
minutes by a thirty-horsepower
Franklin motor car of 1906 model. The
rush across the continent was made
from San Francisco to New York in
August, 1906, by five men in relays-L
l.. Whitman, c. s. Carris, now known
as "Clean Score" Carris because of his
many unparalleled runs i'm a Franklin;
c. B. Harris, M. S. Bates and j. H.
Daley.
The Franklin has in reality held the
transcontinental record for nearly six
years, as the time made in 1906 broke
the record OF thirty-three days which
Whitman and Carris had made in a
ten-horsepower FRANKLIN, starting from
San Francisco on August /, 1904 The
enduring powers of the stock car used
in making the present record were
evidenced by the fact that the motor
car after the finish was taken to
Chicago and sent to New York for
the Chicago-New York record of fifty
six hours and iifty-eight minutes. The
Franklin still holds this record with
its transcontinental record, neither
having been approached by any COM
petitOr.
