England Plans to Plant BeetS ON
large Scale.
Encouraging Results From Expert
nents Made by British Farmers
viii Give Industry Thorough
Trial This Year.

London.-A serious attempt is now
in progress to make England a sugar
producing country. When the ques-
tion of home grown sugar beets was
first brought up seriously some IA
years ago the sugar bounties were un-
doubtedly one of the chief reasons
that discouraged the idea. The
British farmer, moreover, is very con-
servatiye, and in late years financiers
have been more wary than before Of
home industries, especially if Of an eX-
perimental nature.
But now both farmers and iinan-
ciers have decided to give the indus
try a thorough trial. This year about
$500 acres between Yarmouth and
Norwich have been planted with su-
gar beets. A factory for the manu-
facture of sugar is being erected near
Cantley station, Norfolk, in the middle
of the district, and preliminary en-
gagements have been made for the
building of two other factories,
Experiments in sugar beet growing
were carried out last year under the

MAY RAISE SUGAR

auspices Of the board of agriculture
in seven centers in England The
boards report has now been issued,
and is decidedly encouraging for those
concerned in the experiment in East
Anglia mentioned above. The conclu-
sion of the board of agriculture says
definitely:
There. Is no question that beets
with high sugar content can be grown
in this country and give yields equal
ing, If not exceeding, those obtained
on the continent"
The report points out that lin no
case did the crops receive more atten-
tion than would be given to growing
mangolds or swedes by a farmer of
ordinary skill In no case was sub
soiling carried out, a practice which
on the Continent is regarded as indis-
pensable. 1t is therefore significant
to learn that the average yield Of su-
gar beets in Prussia did not exceed
six tons an acre, a figure only slightly
in excess OF the yields obtained at the
Devon or Essex stations, which have
been characterized as failures in view
of the better results obtained at the
other stations"
The venture of course has still to
be regarded as experimental. 1t has
been proved beyond question that SUI
gar beets win grow in England as well
as on the continent. 1t may be taken
as beyond controversy that the crop
is generally suitable to English soil.

BY the time the doctor arrived at
the launch the men had the diver into
the boat and we're cutting the suit
from him. The doctor quickly applied
tourniquets to Scott's arms and he
was taken to the ship in the steam
launch. AS soon as possible Scott
was placed on the operating table and
put under chloroform while one finger
was removed and the others sewed up.

Secret Union Of Farmer and House
Maid in ireland Held to Be
Binding in Law.

Dublin.-Justice Kenney recently
delivered judgment in the midnight
marriage case" of usher and USHER,
which came before him in December
last.
The plaintiff, William Arland Us
sher, a gentleman farmer of Eastwell,
Galway. sought to obtain a decree of
nullity of his marriage with his wife,
Mrs. Mary Usher. The petition was
dismissed.
He alleged that the marriage was
null and void owing to the fact that
only one witness was present and that
the marriage was not carried out ac-
cording to the rites and ceremonies
Of the Roman Catholic church or ac-
cording to law.
The evidence showed that the mar
riage took place on April "a, 1910. Up
to that time the petitioner had been
a Protestant, while the respondent,
Mary Caulfeld, was a maid in the en-
ployment of HIS mother. After 10 p.
nj. on April "a the parish priest. the
Rev. Joseph Fahy. went secretly to
the house and was taken upstairs to
a bedroom.
There he received Mr.. Ussher into
the Roman Catholic church, baptized
him, and then performed the marriage
ceremony between Mr.. USHER and
Mary Caulfleld. The marriage was
kept secret and child was born in
January, 1911.

riage was valid His lordship said it
