FARMERS URGED TO RAISE MORE
SUGAR eEErs AND AID MA.
TIoNAt. SUPPLY.
Il. A. WALLACE CONDUCTS
ExTENsIvE INVESTIGATION
Shows There 10 Much More Profit in
Bsets Than in .corn-Argument Pro-
scented That Farmers Could Aid in
Solving Problem Of Sugar Trust by
Raising eests Extensively.

Des Moines. March Awhile con-
gressional committees and the depart
ment of justice of the United States
are wrestling with the problem Of pre-
venting the domination Of our markets
by the sugar trust, the real solution Of
this problem rests with the farmers of
the country, according to the report
prepared here by H. a. Wallace. of
Wallace's Farmer, as the result of an
investigation of the sugar beet industry
in Iowa. Not only is it possible for the
farmers Of this state TO produce all
their own sugar in a manner that would
obviate the danger Of domination by
the trust by the utilization Of only one
acre in every four houndred of their
agricultural area. but the same results
could be secured in practically all the
corn growing states according to the
testimony Of agricultural experts. Net
only is this the case, but the experience
of European countries in beet culture
shows that the soil would be. greatly
benefited by the use Of this crop in
rotation with others and the yield of
all would be greatly increased.
The net profit from an acre Of corn
is estimated by Mr.. Wallace at SO. while
the average net return from sugar beets
is placed at s25 an acre The use of
$4,000 acres of Iowa land in beet grow
ing he figures. besides increasing the
farmers profits from the area by 81
$4,000. would supply all the sugar con-
sumed in the state. would mean the
employment of $4,000. people in the in
dustry within the state the payment of
a million dollars a year TO the railroads.
much of which would remain in the
state. the encoura cement Of the live
stock industry. the pulp and tops being
recognized as an excellent stock food.
and the Improvement OF the yield of
other crops and Of the general fertility
of the soil.
Considering Iowa as a typical state
in this respect, and il is said by the
experts of the department of agricui-
ture to be only one Of thirty eight
states in which sugar can be cultivated
profitably. it would, follow that the

REOPEN GREGORY CASE.
Wife Asks Decree Be Set Aside and
Custody Of Children Be Given Her.

Special to Times Republican.
Creston, March 4.-Ac ton has been
brought in. the Adams county dis
trict court by Mrs. Elda Gregory. OF
Des ,Moines. asking that the decree OF
divorce granted to DR.. r. H. Gregory,
of Nevinville, in Oct. 1910. be set aside
and that she be given the custody OF
the children instead Of DIR. Gregory
and that she be granted $500 alimony
instead of the $4,000 given her at the
time the decree was granted. Mrs.
Gregory was charged with a statutory
offense DR.. F. A. Hanson being named
as correspondent. DR.. Hanson pleaded
guilty to the charge and the divorce
was granted. Mrs. Gregory now claims
that she was OF unsound mind at the
time the decree was granted and that
fraud was used. Since the decree was
given DR.. Gregory has married again
and the case seems hopelessly com
plicated. This case attracted much at
tention at the time of the trial In
1910 because Of the prominence Of the
PARTIES.

The son of vice president Byrnes of

work in the shops of the Montpelier and
Wells River road, recently acquired by
the Boston & Maine. The young man
is treated like any other employee and
seems to like the treatment. He has
already had experience as fireman on
the New Haven road and after be-
coming familiar with shop work will
take up yard work aud then enter the
office. This will make him practical
railroad mau, which he aspires to be
1t IS fortunate for him, however, that
he'is so situated that he can have this
opportunity for learning the different
branches of the business in so short a
time. Most young men with liking
for railroad work have to spend years in
This opportunity is piece of good for
tune for which he may be envied but
cannot be blamed The case serves u
illustrate some of the advantages tha
might result from the adoption of Sen

has found his work and blessed, too
is he sho helps him find it.
