, were stolen from him and prevented
him from inducing others to go in
with him and develop the copper in.
terests which he had discovered.
During his residence in Sterling he
made his home generally with the
parties to whom he rented his farm,
although for time he batched it
with his two brothers, Charles and
William, none of them being married.
His two brothers preceded him to
the grave and are buried in the GENE
terry in Sterling. He is survived by
one brother, Lucian. A. Jones of
Richford, New York, who is some
eighty-eight years of age. He also
had one sister.
Some fifteen years ago Mr.. Jones
suffered an attack of sciatic rheu-
matism which left him in very bad
shape physically, being bent in back
and form, yet Notwithstanding this
infirmity he was ever cheerful and
delighted in visiting with the young
er people. Only night or two be-
fore his death some of the young
people were with him and he assisted
them in securing their geography
lesson. Mr.. Jones was brought up a
Presbyterian but since moving west
has not been identified with any
church or organization. The funeral
will probably be held from the ,Ster-
ling church but the time has not
been named at the time of our 60
ing to press because of the absence
from the state Of Mr.. Lamp.
George Weingartz, an employe of
the Hubbard mill, died at half past
ten this morning, after he had suff-
cred a hemhorrage of the bowels.
He was taken sick some time ago
with typhoid fever and was taken to
the hospital. The hemhorrage was
the immediate cause Of death He
is survived by wife. a brother
Josie, two sisters, Barbara and Mrs.
Robert Halter and Mrs Sophie Vein
gartz, his mother. The funeral will
be held Monday morning at nine
o'clock from the St Peter and ST.
Paul church.
The deceased was twenty-eight
years Of age and was born in Man
kato.

UP into good sugar beet raising
country. He spent yesterday in the
city looking over the situation.
He said that Michigan alone raises
fifteen million dollars worth of sugar
beets annually and only consumes
twelve million dollars worth, great
deal of it being shipped to the twin
cities. Now he asks, why cannot
Minnesota raise this quantity and
save this money instead Of sending
it out of the state, especially when
it has soil well adapted for its cul-
ture.
Money From Sugar Beets.
That those who have tried it in
Minnesota seem satisfied is well
known, as one person made $1,40O
from fifteen acres of sugar beets
near Glenville. Twenty acres Of
sugar beets near Renville brought as
much as 100 acres of wheat. With
the soil yielding such enormous guam
titles, Minnesota surely has room for
twenty sugar factories, he said. The
company he represents has the only
factory in the state.
"But there is great deal of Ia
Dor connected with it, is there not?'
Mr.. Genet was asked.
Eyes. it requires quite bit OF
work, but we furnish hand labor at
rates ranging from SIC to $40 an
acre, according to the width of the
rows. Then we send an eXpert man
here to help them in many ways and
show them out of their difficulties.
He will act as teacher. in other
words" replied Mr. Genet.
Likes This Section.
He spoke enthusiastically Of the
Agricultural resources OF Mankato
and it's vicinity. He said the river
bottom lands were Just the kind best
adopted for sugar beet raising, and
showed . number Of photographs
taken in the river bottom lands OF
Michigan, illustrating what large
crops can be raised in such districts.
The farmers are also giving more
time and land to this profitable IL.
dustry. IN six counties alone in
Michigan there were ten factories.
AT the new Chaska plant which is
running all the time, millions OF
pounds OF sugar are made annually
from what the farmers in this state
alone raised. Last year. Mr.. Genet
shipped about ten carloads rom Man
kato, paving So ton delivered az
the weigh station.
No Dancer Of Losing Crop.
He said that there was no DANCER
of losing the crop by frosts as the
product was just as good when frc7e
as otherwise and that not on'v dit
the farmer make from $50 to 500 an
acre. but he also secured menv tens
Of feed or his cattle The sci' was
enriched instead Of being sterih7ed
"If we csn get the farmers to
promise a total Of 100 acres to be
devoted to sugar beet raising. we will
start a weigh station here and keen
a man here. to take care of all de-
liveries and help the farmers along.
In other words, we will establish
continuous market This man will
cover a territory from here to
Wells" said Mr.. Genet in giving out
the real purpose of his visit.
The following farmers made neat
sums from their crops of sugar beets
last year: Charles Lanse received
$148 from a little over two acres;
Olof Larson received 1922 from two
acres; E. A. Densel made $500
from one acre; and Arthur Hjerpe
realized $201.6S from two acres.
All these signed contracts for next
year.

Mapleton Enterprise: George Jones,
who for the past six years has made
his home with the family of Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas Dermody, passed away
Wednesday shortly after the noon
hour, at the age Of ninety-one years,
six months and twelve days. Mr..
Jones had been i'll but little over
twentyfour hours. On Monday he
was apparently as we'll as usual and
retired that night in his customary
health and spirits. Being a man of
Industrious nature, he split the kim
dlings as has been his practice for
years, finding his greatest enjoyment
in keeping busy. On Tuesday when
he was taken i'll a physician was
summoned and considering his age,
1t was deemed best to notify G. B.
Lamp, bis guardian, but he himself
realized that death was near at hand
and in saying good night to little
Francis Dermody he said it was
probably for the last time.
The deceased was born in the viii
lage of Lisle. Broome county, New
York, June %, 1920, his father pass
ing away when he was but boy of
six years, he was compelled to make
his own way through life and for
one brought up in the backwoods of
New York with meagre educational
advantages, he possessed abilities
that were somewhat remarkable. Be-
ing an honest man himself, he was
inclined to consider all others in the
same light, much to his own disad-
vantage. But throughout his long
life he ever maintained a cheerful
demeanor, seldom complaining with
his lot and during his long sojourn
In the town of Sterling. where he
located in 1857, he made many
friends who will remember with
pleasant thoughts Grandpa Jones.
About the time the Civil war broke
out Mr.. Jones was examined for
military service but owing to the
fact that he had lost his teeth he
was rejected. He then went into
the copper regions of Lake Superior
where he remained for a couple. of
years, returning to Minnesota in the
winter of 1862, at the time the Sioux
Indians were about to be executed
for the atrocities incidental to the
massacre of that year. He had with
him two satchels at the time of
reaching Mankato, one of which con.
tanned his copper specimens, which

able to invite Senator Benson and
Representative Peterson, so that they
could get the pulse Of the voters
and ascertain what Nicollet county
people desired along this line.
"We have hobnobbed with Man
kato proper for a long time, which
is good thing. but so far have
practically ignored the farmers in
Belgrade" said Professor Ball.
NicolIet County Alive.
Emil Rohde thought that Nicollet
county was alive to the good roads
proposition as a box social had been
planned at which time good roads
would be talked over, but the in
clement weather prevented it from
being held.
M. C.. Johnson was in favor of in
viting number Of farmers as they
would be the main spirit and help in
getting good roads and by inviting
them to this banquet, it would arouse
their interest.
Dennis Donahoe said that County
Attorney Olson had promised to do
what he could on the bride PROPOSE
tion and he was in favor of chang.
ing the route OF the river toward the
bluffs instead of having bridge.
But he would be willing to help
wherever he could, so that it would
be a good plan to invite him.
Nothing was done, however. up to
this time, and again the subject re-
verted to the place of holding the
banquet. OF course, the men agreed
that they must secure women for
help. 1t didn't matter so much
whether they were the women of
the Relief corps or the women of the
Commercial club or the women of
the different churches, who should
help serve, just so they got some
women to do it.
0. w. Walker finally moved that
the meeting and banquet he held in
the village hall, and to have the sup
per after the business session. This
was unanimously carried.
Dennis Donahoe then suggested
that Senator Works also be invited
to make a speech at the banquet and
this met with favor. However, moth
ing was done in this regard.
Committee Is Appointed.
Mr.. Walker moved that the chair
man appoint committee to get the
speakers and another committee to
look after the banquet. After this
motion was carried the chairman ap-
pointed Professor Ball, Dennis Dona-
hoe and Emil Rohde on the COM
mittee to obtain the speakers and
entertainment, and o. w. Walker,
NJ. c. Johnson and G. E. Chariand
on the committee for the banquet
arrangements. 1t was thought that
John Peterson and his band boys
could be secured ITO furnish music
for the evening.
Regarding which of the two sides
who are contesting to secure the
most members, Professor Ball said:
"F i was on the side that I thought
was going to lose, I wouldn't make
this motion, but as / am on the
winning side, l move you that the
expense of the banquet he borne
by the entire Commercial Club" This
was carried, whereupon the meet.
ing adjourned.
Speakers for the banquet have
been selected as follows: George NJ.

SUCCESS OF DRY-FARMiNe
Paper Written BY &. II. Watson.
Of Cheyenne. Wyoming

In view Of the past two years Of
drought and the resultant failure or
partial failure OF crops.some doubt as
to feasibility Of dry-farming in wy.
oming has been expressed. 1t is note
worthy that In those states where
dry-iarming has been practiced for a
period OF forty years, the past two
years OF scanty precipitation have
been followed by no especially dis
as'rous results. The r~ason for this is
not that they are more favoranly loca
ed than Wyoming, but that they have
reduced the dry-larm methods to
science. In fact, the state Of Utah,
Tor example, has i.aJr annual pre-
cipntation than Wyoming. Then, too,
the larger part CT this precipitation
comes in the winter, while in cas- ern
wyoming 70 per cent. OF our moist.
ure comes when we need it most

The past two years in Utah have
been exceedingly dry, and yet com.
paratively few crop failures have bee
reported. To the contrary, YIELDS CT
winter wheat ranging from 20 to 80
and even 40 bushels to theacre were
very common. This ability 70 secure
good crops under adverse conditions.
however, has not been acquired wi h.

Ing was safe in regions where the

more; s'me years Ii might be less.
When moisture came in excess il was
stot@d up for future use In time of
drought, and when the drought
came, good crops were raised. They
learned, too, that deep soils were
essential to dry-farming and that

tice. Thus they have secured a rep
