HOW We CATER
TO SUGAR TOOTH
Beet Sugar Factories in Michigan
Produce To q Value Of $l0,477,-
600 In 1909.

No better evidence Of Michigan
standing as q sugar state could De
had than the statement issued a few
days ago by the United States CEN
sus bureau on the cane and sugar In
dustry Of the country for 1909. The
report shows that Michigan ranks
third In the value OF products OBJ
tanned from the sugar beet. Col
orado II In the lead. with California
second. In 1909 there were l6 beet
sugar factories In Michigan, which
produced sugar and other products
to value Of s10,477,0o0. The pro-
ducts were an follows: Granulated
sugar, 10000 tons. worth $s.7b7.-
600; raw sugar. 500 tons. valued at
S41,o0o, and molasses. b.1o6.7OO
gallons. worth $4,000. Ten years
ago there were only nine beet sugar
factories In the state and the pro-
ducts turned out then amounted to
but S1.so2.o00 In value.
Since 1899 the sugar industry has
made rapid strides, each year show
ing q better and larger crop than Its
predecessor. The season for the past
year was the most successful OF them
ali. Thirty-f1ve thousand farmers
engaged In the growing OF beets and
the crop harvested was 1.1b0,0O0
tons. For the beets alone the grow
ers received from the sugar COM
panies $1,000. 900. some farmers get
ting as much as s126 per acre. The
average yield per acre was about IL
tons, an increase OF about three tons
per acre over any previous year.
From the beets the factories pro-
duced 2e0, 900, 900 pounds Of sugar.
an increase of 80 per cent over the
production Of any other year.
That the sugar industry Is also
profitable to others besides the grow
ers IL evidenced by the fact that,
last year, the sum OF $4,000 was
spent to harvest the crops. and $780,
600 for labor In the factories. Each
plant expended $4,000 for barrels for
packing sugar, $1,000 for bags.
while the cost Of coal and other sup
plies for each plant. amounted to
$3.50 About 500 men are en-
ployed In each Of the II factories
during the season.
The Michigan railroads also shared
In the prosperity Of the industry
getting. II is estimated, about l.
100000 from the factories and farm
ers In freight rates on the transpor-
tation OF the sugar beets and sugar
The coming year is expected TO be
an even greater one for the beet
sugar industry. Most of the farmers
who grew beets last year have al
ready made contracts with sugar
companies to do likewise this year
and many others are expected to take
up the growing Of the beets. In 1910
an area Of about 100000 acres was
under sugar beet cultivation. The
farmers are beginning TO realize, the
sugar companies say, that they take
few chances Of failure In the growing
OF beets. inasmuch as no product OF
the field will stand as much dry
weather or as much rain as II does.
AS q matter of fact. the sugar men
say that the drier the season the
more there Is In the beet. The farm
or is paid for his beets on the basis
OF sugar content.

this translation rendered to men OF
our stock. 1t brought this wonderful
storehouse of historical narrative and
moral reflection, this incompatible
record of the progress of the human
spirit and of all the forms in which
its conception of the relations of man
to God were expressed within the
reach Of those who like Bright re-
ceived no very wide education and
those who like Lincoln received no
education at all.
British and American character
have been largely formed by this
book, because It was in the seven
teenth century the only book which all
the people knew and all the people re-
vered. And il our ancestors in that
century and the next set an example
to other countries in their love of free
dom and their willingness to make
sacrifices for freedom, yet knowing
how to use freedom with moderation
and justice, is this not largely due to
the stimulus they received from the
knowledge of the Scriptures in their
own tongue and from the sense that
freedom, like other gifts of God, is to
be used with a sense of responsibility
to God for it's use?
These were some of the things
which the Bible did for the individual
soul. And it also formed the one COM
mon basis for the literature of the
medieval and modern world. 1t was
the common ground on which all
Christians met; whatever their differ
ences as to its meaning, the common
starting point for their poetry and
their ethics. Chaucer and Tasse and
Goethe have their roots in 1t as we'll
as Dante and Milton. 1t has been a

similar equipment which has been Or
dered sold, and the department can
show no favoritism in the matter.
The guns are mounted on heavy
concrete foundations, and are so
honeycombed that they are no longer
valuable as weapons of war, while
their intrinsic value consists only of
the metal therein.
The guns were mounted and placed
on the old state house grounds sew

Monument Commission after a por-
ton of that site had been ceded to

Ambassador Bryce Gives Some Inter-

(By Associated Press.)

New York, April 27.-In delivering
special message from King George

last night to celebrate the three-hun-
dredth anniversary of the English
translation of the Bible, Ambassador
Bryce of Great Britain spoke of the
effect the translation. had had upon
the English speaking race. He said
in part:
"The great event which we are met
to commemorate was, like most great
things, no sudden achievement of a
group of gifted scholars but the ma
ture fruit of desires and purposes
which had long been ripening in the
minds of our ancestors.
Much had been done towards an
English Bible before King James the
First commissioned his company of
learned scholars for their task. Us
4 ing the labors of their many predeces-
sors, the translators produced a YER
sion which was wonderfully exact for
the scholarship of those days, so exact
/ that after three centuries the changes
which repeated collations of the man
uscripts and repeated examination of
] the precise meaning of the Hebrew
and Greek texts have led modern
critics to make are few and unimpor'
tant in proportion to the whole.
"How much of the excellence of our
great writer's from Milton, Jeremy
Taylor, and Baxter downwards is
traceable to their knowledge of the
diction of the Bible! We can feel il
