Hope to Find Buried Treasure.

Enthused by the finding of several
Spanish coins along the beach at Fen.
wicks island, farmers from all over
that section of Delaware are neg
lecting their farms to dig for buried
treasure, of which the coins are sup
posed to be part. The excitement
was started by the picking up Of sew
eral Spanish coins, most Of them dat
ed around 1882. The rumor of the
find spread through the country. and
since then the old story Of the wreck
of several Spanish vessels on the Fen
wick beach has been revived.

Sterilization Of Water by Liah,.

At the recent hygiene exhibition at
Dresden apparatus was shown by
means of which water may be purified
on a large scale through the use Of
ultraviolet light. This method is now
in use in France on a large scale, and
is found to be both practical and eco
nomical. The amount of electrical
current required to produce the ultra
violet light is small. The efficiency is
so great that the water, after treat
ing, is found to contain not more than
twenty-five or thirty germs to the
ounce, which is far better than any
thing that has ever been accomplished
by filtering process.-Good Health.

FARMERS UNION IS MAKING

took up the movement, nearly so
per cent of the farms were mort

The union has done it's utmost

urged to work along the most
scientific lines and place himself in

"A bill, for the establishment of
a federal bureau of markets has
been passed in the senate through
the influence of the farmers union.
The proposed law will prevent the
glutting of certain markets at GER
tain seasons.
The union might be said to en-
body some of. the principles of the
old Farmers Alliance and probably
the Grange. But they were both
partisan, and not the slightest par
tisan element enters into the pur-
poses and precepts of our organiza-
ton. No member holding office in
the organization can accept po-
ltical Office. We are political,
though, In the fact that We study
economic conditions OF farming and
exercise our influence to bring
about legislation that would benefit
the farmer. Our organization con-
trolls between 1900 and $4,000

divide profits with the producer
and the stockholders, others are
conducted as mere stock companies.
These concerns run mills, elevators,
gnneries, warehouses and stores.
Probably the effect of our or
ganization has been more beneficial
in the south, in the cotton districts.

the extreme western and northern
states, and the middle west is lin

The farmers of the United States
are not responsible for the high
cost of living, but the Farmers
Educational and Cooperative Union
of America, organized in Texas ten
years ago, which has spread over
most OF the United States, may be
given credit for q more uniform
dities, and hence q lessening of the
cost of living.
This is the statement Of Charles
8. Barrett. national president Of
the union, which has a membership p
between three and one-half and
four million farmers representing
practically every state Of the union.

route from his home in Georgia to

1T 10 true the farmer does get
more for his products than he got
several years back" said Mr.. Bar
rett. "but that is not due to any At
tempt on the part of the producer
to hold up the people who must
buy his produce. The farmer is be-
coming more systematic, the result
mainly of scientific study OF agricul-
tural pursuits and details of mar
keting.
Those are two of the important
features which the Farmers Edu-
cational and Cooperative union has
been trying to promulgate, and has
succeeded to a degree that has ele-
waited the farming industry to 4
higher plane than it ever has stood.

Der of institutions for the estab-
lishment of chairs OF farm eco
nomics.
I'VE also have inculcated the
idea that farming is science, and
must be followed along scientific
principles. Perhaps the most d.
rectly effective work of our organi-
zation has been in impressing the
farmers of the country. especially
those Of the south. with the idea OF
raising the produce consumed on
their farms.
Years ago the farmer sold prac-
tically everything he raised, and, in
turn, bought practically all he con-
sumed.
much Of that has been discon-
tinued, and the farmer today raises
the most of his produce for home
consumption. Thus he has added
materially to his profits, and to
this may be attributed more than
anything else the fact that today

GROWERS
ASK LONG
CONTRACTS
BEET RAISERS OF THE ARKAN-
SAS VALLEY ASK FOR FIVE
YEAR AGREEMENTS WITH THE
FACTORY COMPANIES

Rocky Ford, Colo, Dec. 3--For
the first time in the history Of sugar
beet raising in the Arkansas valley
the farmers are asking five-year-
contracts from the sugar companies,
and the outlook now assures the
greatest beet acreage ever known.
In addition to the farmers who have
devoted = part OF their laAA to the
cultivation of beets each year, and
who plan to increase their acreage,
there are many who have never rails
ed beets but who have used most OF
their land for alfalfa who will de-
vote share of their land to beets.
Whether or not the sugar COM
panies will make any fiye-year-con-
tracts is still a question. Formerly
the agriculturalists OF the compan-
les in some cases almost had to beg
the farmers to raise beets enough
to run the factories. while now 1t
seems that the farmers are coming
to the company with an offer of an
assured crop for years.
At some OF the factories in the
valley the season has closed, and
has been the most successful in the
history of sugar making. The sea-
son at Rocky Ford will continue for
another month at least.

The state is more than willing to-

when they will be available.
This is one of the things that
State Highway Commissioner Allen
told the directors of the CONNER
cial club, the county commissioners
and a few good roads committee
men at the regular meeting Of the
Commercial club last night when
the subject under discussion was
roads, especially the new road being
built from the west county line by
convicts.
Mr.. Allen was taken over the new
road yesterday in order to familiar
ize him with the wcrk that has been
done and what is planned tor the
future. He was much pleased with
the progress being made and ad-
vised that the road be graveled as
it is built, unless the graveling will
cost an exhorbitant figure. The
matter of graveling will be taken up
at once by committee composed
of c. j. Crockett, H. d. Parker,
Commissioner Hodgson or Lewis and
the state highway commissioner,
which will go to Denver this week
for conference with the Great
Western Sugar company and the
railroads. 1t is believed that sub
stantial aid will be given by the
railroads, If it is found that the
gravel will have to be hauled from
distance, which seems to be the
only means OF getting 1t.
The investigation made yesterday
of the gravel situation indicates
that the cost OF graveling will be
