from $1,000 to $4,000. The land OF the

by the people with former holdings
to such an extent that $500 holders
per annum have sold out at prices

Should Harrow Grain.

In . bulletin issued by the Great
Northern news service, Prof. F.. r.
Crane makes these suggestions to
grain rsisers:
II every farmer having grain fields
would use . epike.tooth harrow with
teeth turned back, and harrow his
grain when II is about one inch above
the ground, he will help to hold the
moisture in the soil. and he will also
kill many of the weeds already
started. This narrowing with the
teeth turned back will not hurt the
grain; 10 fact, It will do II good. Har.
rowing of the grain can be carefully
carried on until the grain has grown
to three inches 10 height. This har.
rowing of grain after seeding, and as
1t Is coming through the soil, should
come to be q common practice, and
it 10 urgently recommended. Do not,
however, use spike.tooth harrow IN.
less the teeth can be slanted back.
This narrowing % recommended
above. is very necessary should our
growing season happen to b . dry
one. II there 10 plenty of moisture
tho entire growing season It
will also be helpful, and beneficial
will be very noticeable In
q dry or . wet season. Do not
wsit, but do this narrowing OF the
grain now.

THE BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY.

In the discussion OF the sugar tariff
one of the disputed points has been
as TO whether American farmers grow.
ing sugar beets receive the benefit of
the present tariff duty. The advo-
Gates of free sugar have claimed that
the prices paid to farmers ia the
United States for their beets we're
lower than those paid 10 Europe. To
settle this point exact statistics as to
the prices paid for sugar beets have
been collected from official reports OF
the principal European sugar produc.
ing countries and have been compiled
for the use of the president aud men,
bers OF congress-.
This report shows that In Germa any,
the largest producer of beet sugar Of
any country in the world, the price

The Prague Association OF Raw
Sugar Manufacturers of Bohemia
and the Organization OF Sugar Beet
Growers have agreed upon the price
of So 6S per ton for 1894 for beets
delivered at receiving stations aud
S3.SS for deliveries at the factories.
The latest figures obtainable from
Russia are those of the minister OF
finance for l9ll-l2 when the average
price was 90 80 per ton.
In the United States IS factories
which worked during the season of
1928 paid the farmers an average
1914 per ton for beets as compared
with s5.42 In l9ll-l2. They also paid
an average of As cents per ton freigh,
and an average of 80 cents q ton fol-
