HANDS BURNED LIKE FRI

IT can truthfuliy say Cuticura Rem
edies have cured me Of four long
years of eczema. About four years
ago l noticed some little pimples
coming on my little finger, and not
giving it any attention, it soon became
worse and spread all over my hands.
II I would have them in water for a
long time, they would burn like fire
and large cracks would come. / could
lay a pin in them. After using all
the salves could think Of, went to
three different doctors, but all did
me no good. The only relief I got was
scratching.
$50 after hearing so much about the
wonderful Cuticura Remedies, I pur-
chased one complete set, and after
using them three days my hands were
much better. Today my hands are
entirely well, one set being all used"

freshman Was In Tight Place, but Not
Too Frightened to Be Ready
With Retort.


To illustrate the ever-ready wit OF
the Irish the following story was told,
at banquet held recently:
An Irishman on his way home at
night was in the habit of cutting
through a cemetery in order to short
en- the distance. A group Of friends
evolved a scheme to have some fun
at his expense. Accordingly they
found a sunken grave across which
his path lay, dug it out and covered it
with boards in such manner that he
must fall into the yawning cavity.
The 1rishman came along and ev-
erything happened as per schedule.
While he was still squirming about in
the bottom of the hole, striving to ex-
tricate himself. three or four Of his
friends, attired in white sheets and
other ghostly accouttements, sudden
ly made their appearance. Pat was
frightened out of his wits and almost
tainted when one of them said:
What are you doing in my grave?"
The tone was sepulchral. 1t made
the Irishman's hair stand almost on
end, but he could not forego a witty
retort.
Faith, and what are you doing out
of it?" he asked.

AS a result the general manager is
ready to say that Iowa can grow sugar
beets as successfully as any state.
While these figures indicate the in
ereasing popularity of the sugar beet
4 popularity which is still further
shown by the statement of the general
manager of the plant at Waverly that
were the capacity Of his plant larger
he could easily contract for greater
acreage of beets-and while it Is un-
,doubtedly true that with settled condi-
lions affecting this industry more fac
tories will spring up. the experience Of
Michigan in this field affords a strik-
ing and concrete example Of the posi-
bilities of the sugar beet in Iowa.
Ten years ago the people Of the state
Of Michigan were paying $15,00O,O0O a
year for sugar. The sugar was grown
on plantations, in the tropics. was re-
fined in the great trust retineries on
the Atlantic seaboard and was then
brought nearly a thousand miles by
railroad to reach the domestic market.
Practically all Of the S15,OOO,000 went
out Of Michigan and stayed out.

Root Crop Every Fourth Year.

Few persons realize that large por-
ton Of Germany is but a sandy plain
and her enormous crop yields due to
the fact that for each three acres Of
cereals grown her farmers raise one
acre of hoed crops, thus producing a
root crop on each field every fourth
year. They grow sugar beets wher-
ever possible and are the greatest pro-
ducers Of this vegetable in the world
So thoroughly do they appreciate the
influence of root crop on the yield
of other crops that In sections where
there are no factories to which they
can sell their sugar beets they grow
beets or other root crops and feed
them to stock. as they do in Great
Britain. But where there are sugar
factories the farmers secure the double
advantage Of first selling the crop for
sugar and then hauling it's full feeding
value back to the farm in the residue.

Beet pulp as Cattle Food,

In summarizing the important fea-
lures Of sugar beet growing in various
parts Of the country the Department
of Agriculture calls attention to its
peculiar Importance to the middle
western states because Of the extent
to which stock feeding is followed as
an industry in this territory. Beet
pulp-that is. what remains of the
beet after the sugar has been extract
ed-has been proved to be the finest
feed yet discovered for milk cows
and for fattening cattle. sheep and
other farm animals. This is true
whether the pulp is fed In its wet
state as it comes from the factory or
after being dried A business of about
100000 year has grown up in the
sale Of dried beet pulp. in which form
it can be shipped to any distante.

age crop Is about twelve tons Of beets
10 the acre. If we in Iowa produced
as much sugar proportionately, we
would have about ninety factories
turning out sufficient sugar each year
to supply 100000 people"
That would mean that Iowa would
not only produce her own sugar, but
would produce enough to export three
times the amount which she at present
consumes. Although such a stage OF
development Is far cry from the
present situation, facts and figures
show that it is by no means a mere
dream. Figures compiled at the fac
tory at Waverly show that the ton
mage handled there has increased
more than six fold in the last six
years. while the yield per acre has
practically doubled. Following are
the figures during the years since the
opening Of the factory:

EXPERT EXPLAINS
SUGAR Beet CULTURE
Tells Best Methods Of SeCur-
ing Heavy Yields.

Among the general crops which are
grown in Iowa on large scale. the
sugar beet, if proper methods are used.
| is undoubtedly the most profitable. fig
@ures which have been collected show
ing that in many cases where the
right sort of care has been taken the
crop has shown net profit as high
as $50 an acre. For this reason the
following outline as given by an ex-
pert, who has studied beet culture both
here and abroad. is of particular In
terest to Iowa farmers.
THE proper time for starting the
preparation of the ground" he says, lis
the late summer and fall. depending
upon the nature Of the preceding crop.
If this be small grain the stubbe
should be plowed shallow. say three
inches, soon after the grain has been
removed. This will hasten the decay
of the stubble, dispose of the weeds
before going to seed and stop germina-
ton Of weed seeds in the ground. 1t
will give the ground the full benefit Of
the rain water, which will soak down
instead of running off as it does when
the surface is hard. The loose condi-
ton Of the top soil allows moisture and
air to penetrate. greatly facilitating
that chemical action which renders the
fertilizing materials in the soil availa-
BILE for the plants.
"The blowing should be Immediately
followed by the harrow to make a
dust mulch. which prevents evapora-
ton Of the moisture 1t is advisable
to use the harrow after each rain that
is hard enough to pack the surface.
Late in the fall the ground should
be plowed as deep as possible At this
time fresh or virgin sol. may be safely
turned up. as it will decay through the
action Of the snow and frost
Land thus prepared should not be
plowed again in the spring. Sugar
beets demand deep plowed but firm
ly packed seed bed. Surface cultiva-
ton just deep enough to make good
seed bed should be started in the
spring as early MS possible and repeat
ed until seeding time. late April and
May, according to season.
''In case the beets are to follow corn
the. stalks must be removed. If the
stalks are cut low the roots can be
turned under by very deep blowing
and the use of a jointer attached to the
plow in place of the colter.'

SUGAR BEET INDUSTRY.
Wages and Prices Of Beets Much High
ar /, The limited States,

WAGES and Prices Of Beets Much High.
or In the United States.
! The difference between the condi'
! tons under which beet sugar Is produc-
ed in the United States and Europe is
istrkingly shown by a report just pub
lished MS a United States senate doc
ument. Summarizing 1T reports from
various European countries, this docu'
ment shows that Is cents day was
the highest rate earned by men work
| ing in the European beet fields, while
4G cents was the average rate. In all
the European countries. however, the
greater part of the field labor is done
! by women and children at wages rang
| ing from 10 cents a day for children
! in Russia to SO cents a day for women
| in Denmark. 10 these poor laborers
the So. GO a day, which represents the
average earnings of field workers in
the United States, must appear
princely income.
Among the factory workers engaged
in beet sugar production the difference
is equally striking The men working
in the factories OF the great European
sugar making countries, France and
Germany, receive an average daily
wage Of 81 cents. according to official
figures published by their own govern
ments. The average American wage
for employees in the beet sugar facto'
ries. $500 day, is more than three
times as great
Likewise the farmers who grow the
beets in Europe receive only 81 to
$3.50 a ton for their crops, although
they pay four to five timesAas much
rent for their land as the American
farmer does
While these figures serve to show
| why it is that Europe can produce sug-
ar cheaper than the United States, it
Is an interesting fact that the only
important country Of Europe where
the people are able to buy sugar
cheaper than in the United States is
England Even in England the price
paid for the sugar most generally used
| is as high as the prices paid here, On
| the whole. the lot of an Iowa sugar
| beet grower or worker must be consid-
cred preferable to that of his Euro
pean competitor.
