Since that time he has been drawing

But there have been over $4,000 ex-
pended I'm less than ten years and there
are thousands of printed volumes bank
ed up that nobody wants, and Governor
Smith has called halt! How the thing
will end 1 am not able to say, but this
extravaganza needs to be stopped.
Before the position was made a PEN
sion appointment for Democratic ex-gov-
errors I offered to do the work without
a cent of salary, and then depend. on the
acceptability OF the work to be reim-
bursed for my pains.
But that offer was simply laughed out
of notice, and instead the office was
made by an obliging legislature to serve
as a pension for ex-governors, and al
ready the state is the loser to the amount
of 5000, and the people are glad that
Gov. Hoke Smith has called halt!
1t makes one tired to see the loose
way in which our tax money is flung

CHARITY BARRELS FOR THE POOH
A faithful Christian worker who has
been reading The Semi-Weekly Jour
nal for number of years, and who is
much concerned about the poverty
stricken people in her vicinity, has ask
ed me to inquire if I can put her in
correspondence with any person who
prepares charity boxes for poor chill
dren in neglected districts. She sees
such children, unable to attend school
and Sunday schools, for lack of suit
able clothing, and she is anxious to
supply their needs, for the uplift Of
these dependent ones.
Therefore I will be glad to publish
the place of supply. if such can. be fur
nished, and thus place this good wom-
an in touch with poor boxes or poor
barrels. This good lady lives in North
Carolina, and is greatly interested in
her efforts to relieve such necessitous
persons.
Such charitable efforts as these COM
mend themselves to every rejecting
mind. 1t is genuine home mission
work.
welI-organized association might
collect from many households garments
that are outgrown or nalf-worn, and
which would be God-send to poor,
il-clothed children.
Winter is rapidly approaching. and
their improvident parents have doubt
less lived from hand to mouth, as
usual in such cases, and the touching
letter of my North Carolina correspon-
Gent appealed to me with unusual
force.
If these is a place where deposits
of clothing are made for this purpose,

would be glad to know 1T.

to per cent, and the amount OF refined
sugar obtained was from to per
cent OF the weight of the beet.
The cost of producing an acre OF beets
was estimated at approximately s25,
while the yield was from 6 to % tons
per acre.
The advances that have been made in
cultural methods have been Offset to a
very great extent by the increased cost
of labor in the United States, so that
the actual reduction in the cost of pro-
ducing beet sugar has been due to the
improvement of the beet or to lesss ex-
pensive operations in extracting and re-
filming the product.
Thorough cultivation is another factor
in producing good sugar beets. 1t Is a
common saying among the Germans
that ''the sugar must be hoed into the
beet"
In no time Of its life should asugar
beet be allowed to stop growing. for
If it once becomes stunted it is doubt
full whether 1t whl ever make as good
beet as 1t would have been under
conditions of continuous growth.
Another way the beet has been i'm

The department Of agriculture has

600, 900 pounds, or $4,000 tons, more
sugar was consumed last year than
would have been consumed ten years

This goes to show that the manufac-
ture of beet sugar in the United States.

The present average yield of beets
per acre in this country is about ten!
tons, and the percentage of sugar &C.
tually extracted and refined does mott
exceed II. making the average yield Of
sugar per acre approximately 2,4Oo
pounds.
Yields of more than 30 tons of beetsi
per acre are sometimes obtained, ard
yields of more than 20 tons are common.
From 20 to % per cent of the sugar
in the beet has been reported so fire.
quently that it is safe to assume that
an average sugar content of Is per
cent is within the limits of POSSIBLE
ity.
If an average yield Of 20 tons per-
acre and an average sugar content OF
Is per cent could be reached, we would
have an average yield of 1900 pounds
of sugar per acre.
Clay loans are very satisfactory for
sugar-beet production, provided other
depends upon the physical condition
of the soil and upon methods Of culh-
walton than upon the particular kind
or variety Of soil used. The soil, how
ever, should be well supplied with
humus and well drained.
During the past few years there has
been n remarkable advance in the price
of farming lands. especially in those
localities where beet-sugar factories are
in successful operation.
The production Of single-germ beet
seed is q method of thinning beets De

beet-seed consists for the most part or
from two to seven individual seeds
welded by nature into one mass.

DOCTOR PRESCRIBES
CUTICURA REMEDIES

II wish to let you know of couple
II recent cures which l have made

Last August, Mr.. of this city
came to my Office, troubled with
severe skin eruption. 1t was dermatitis
n its worst form. It started with q
flight eruption and would affect most
parts Of his body. thighs, elbows,
:hest, back and abdomen-and would
terminate in little pustules. The itch.
.ng and burning was dreadful and no
would almost tear his skin apart, try.
Ing to get relief. l recommended all
the various treatments l could think
Of and he spent about fifteen dollars
On prescriptions, but nothing seemed
to help him.
I'm the meantime my wife, who
was continually suffering with a slight
skin trouble and who had been try
ing different prescriptions and meth
DDS with my assistance, told me she
was going to get some Of the Cuticura
Remedies and give them a fair trial.
But as I did not know much about
Cuticura at that time l was doubtful
whether 1t would help her. Her skin
would thicken, break and bleed, es-
pecially on the fingers. wrists and
arms. l could do nothing to relieve
her permanently. When she first ap-
piled the warm baths Of Cuticura
Soap and applications of Cuticura
Ointment she saw a decided improve
ment and in a few days she was COM
pletely cured.
Il lost no time in recommending
the Cuticura Remedies to Mr..
and this was two months ago. I told
him to wash with warm baths of the
Cuticura Soap and to apply the Cuti-
cura Ointment generously. Believe
me, from the very first days use OF
the Cuticura Remedies he was greatly
relieved and today he is completely
cured through their use. l have great
faith in the Cuticura Remedies and
shall always have a good word for
them now that l am convinced of
their wonderful merits" (Signed) B.
