new Leipzig

G. l.. Grigg's son had his leg broken
last week. The accident happened
while he vas standing on the platform
of a traction engine and in starting
he was thrown from the platform and
alighted in such a manner that the
leg was broken. O.
We have lost two more of our pop
ular young folks, Miss Marie Wolf,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John Wolf,
ST., and Fl. A. Merrick, formerly agent
at the Milwaukee depot here, now at
Kaiser, have Joined the rapidly in
creasing throng Of benedicts. The
young couple will make their home
at Kaiser, where they have elegantly
furnishd rooms. They are well known
in Leipzig circles and will be much
missed by their host Of friends. ,
Work has been commenced on the
school house which is located on the
hill east of toWn, The foundation is
! we'll on the way to completion and
will be ready for the framework in a
short time. The building will be
on the same plan as the Elgin build
ing with a few notifications. The
teachers will be much pleased to be
able to enter the new building, the
rooms which they now have are
crowded and are not up to standard
with school regulations, making it
very unhandy for them in their daily
work.
]. r. Gornick and wife met with a
rather serious runaway while on
their way to Odessa They had gone
to Odessa to get their mail, and their
horse, usually a very gentle animal
became frightened at a passing auto
and ran away. Mr.. and Mrs. Gornick
were thrown from the buggy, and
alighted with more or less bruises
Mr.. Gornick getting a little the worst
of the fall. His side was badly
bruised and his eye quite seriously
hurt as a result. The bruises, though
painful, are not serious. and they will
be able to smile at their adventure
in a short time.
The name of our town, which has
caused so much discussion, has al
last been given a final touch. Oul
! postmaster received notice that the
name Of the post Office would, after
the first Of the year, change back tc
that first used--New Leipzig. There
has been constant confusion since
the p%ostoffice first changed and this
will continue for some time, at least
until people adopt the use of letter
heads giving New Leipzig as thail
address. The feeling OF ill-will tc
those who have caused the change
will soon pass over and things will
soon be forgotten in the rush Of bust
ness.

Learning Agricultural Efficiency in Sugar Beet Fields.

try. As a result of the steady, %cultiva-
ton of the sugar beet in rotation with
other crops, it has been demonstrated
tliat this tuber is the most efficient unit
which can be installed in the agricultural
factory as it is. planned TO designate the
farm under the new efficiency plan. As
the beet, however. is already fairly well
known in this country, and certain to
achieve still greater popularity, if its
Culture is not discouraged by the open
Jig OF the American market to the
foreign product produced more cheaply
as the result of far lower wages, it is
believed that it will before many years
insure to this country an agricultural
position which no other nation can
approach. Through the encouraged
growth of the sugar beet, Germany is
not only exporting $5OyOOO,OOO worth OF
sugar annually but because of its aid in
increasing the output of other crops is
producing yields which are nearly twice
as great as the same lands afforded
before the adoption Of sugar beet cul-
ture in rotation with other crops.
An example Of these new methods in
which the sugar beet is such an i'm
portant, factor is furnished in the report
of Mr.. W.. H. Baird, as d result of his
Investigations abroad. As an example
OF the highest type of farming, or
agricultural manufacturing methods, Mr..
Baird cites the case of a leasehold of
about 1000 acres near Prague.
The farm" says Mr.. Baird, was in
two parts or domains, leased from diff
ferent owners and held under twelve
years lease. The two places have been
in the hands of one holder for three
terms of twelve years each, or thirty-six
years, and were beginning at the time on
the thirty-seventh year. A trip was
made on foot over about 500 acres of
the farm, visiting the fields and the

weeds were noticed to make a load for
all ordinary man; the crops were in the
finest condition imaginable. On the lines
parting wheat iron rye, or rye from the
clover fields, apparently not a single
stock was missing the cultivation was
of the highest character.
After going over the whole farm and
returning to the farm house, the pro-
prietor got out his books and showed his
expenses and his yields; also described
his methods OF farming. He was re-
quired by the terms of his lease to have
at least As per cent. OF the land in sugar
beets at any one time. | asked him
why this was. He said it was because
OF the greater yield of other crops after
the bcets, and the better returns from
the beets themselves, and from the cattle
fed upon beet pulp. A regular rotation
was followed which was practically pre-
scribed and insisted on by the terms Of
the lease. This rotation was as follows:

for clover. On this farm the average
yield Of wheat for ten years was SO
bushels to the acre, with corresponding
yields of rye and barley. The fertility
and the yield from this soil keep up year
in and year out.
"Now as to the financial results of this.
The average profits according to the i'll
formation given me were $4,000 a year,
or a net yield of $40 an acre. 1t might
be said that he was hiring his labor
very cheap. He was. The wages paid
were about 40 cents a day, but IN the
other hand, it must be remembered that
he was leasing his land and the rents
were very high. He paid all the taxes
the boundaries Of the f%arm-ditch banks
homcsteads, wood lots and waste land,
as well as actual farming land. and for
this he paid an average of 5000 AL
acre. His total yield on every acre
whether in use or 0 was $50 all acre
The prices received for his various pro-
ducts were not very much greater than
in America, and for many of them not
as high. For his milk he received
cents a quart; for his wheat from 81 to
$l.20 per b,shel; for his beets 81 per
ton. . ~. .as
"None of this land could compare in
native fertility and quality with the
average American soils, but it was a
large manufacturing plant carried on in
a business-like manner, and keeping or
the farm everything in the wayy,o
fertility that could be kept and selling
those products which took least away
from the farm" 4
Already these methods are being tried
in this country with results which ihdi-
cate that, that the agricultural manu-
featuring plant must eventually elimirl-
