Sugar Beets Can Be
Raised in This COUNTY,

Should Henderson county farmers
turn their attention to the raising of
sugar beets in this fertile soil they
would find it quite profitable says
farmer III. M. Roberts of Fletcher.
Mr.%RobertS has experienced in the
raising of beets for a number of years
and was quite delighted to find through
the Asheville Citizen that the govern
ment had sent an expert into this ter
ritory I interest the farmers of this
section along the line of growing
sugar beets.
The following appeared in a recent
issue of the Asheville Citizen:
For the purpose Of interesting the
farmers of Western North Carolina in
the growing of sugar beets, E. G.. Rit-
tue, of the United States department of
agriculture, is calling on the farmers
OF this section of the state and is fur
nishing information relative to the
manner in which the crops are grown.
Mr.. Rittue has been with the agricul-
tural department for the past nineteen
years and for nine years, ne has been
gar beets in the western states.
Although it is not generally known,
it is a fact that the government has
been studying the conditions of the
soil and climate of Western North
Carolina three years in an effort to
learn whether or not the best crop can
be grown successfully in this section.
Investigation has shown that the lands
or the western counties of this state
are well adapted to the growing of the
beets. and that those grown here pro-
duce from twelve to nineteen per cent
sugar. After the sugar is extracted
from the beets, the residue makes
good cattle feed.
Mr.. Rittue gives direction. as to the
types of soil required for the produc-
ton of beets and the methods Of plant
ing and c~ultivating the crops. The
government is very DESTROYS that the
farmers of this section be induced to
use a portion of their lands for the.
growing of the beets and arrangements
have been made whereby the growers
will be able to send specimens to the
United States department of chemistry
for an analysis as to the per cent of
sugar contained. Mr.. Rittue will keep.
in touch with the farmers from the
time that the crops are planted until
they are harvested and vii laid them
with the production of the sugar beets.
1t was stated that the heets will not
grow in all sections of the country, the
plants requiring certain conditions
which are found in this section of the
state. In view of this fact, the gov
ernment's agent feels that little trou-
BILE will be experienced In interesting
the farmers of this section in the cul-
tivation of beets and he has COMPLEX
a list of about 100 Of the. owners of
farms in this part of the state, who
will be called upon within the next

WILSON on THE JOB.
Goes to Capitol for Conferences on
Tariff Bill Frequently.


Washington.-In the interest of sue
cess for the Democratic tariff revision
bill, President Wilson stepped over
another obstacle in the way of perfect
harmony between the White House
and the directing forces of Congress.
For the second successive day he left
his Offices in the White House and
jcurneyed to the capitol, this time for
al hour and a half conference with
the Democratic members of the senate
finance committee.
After it's conclusion the President
stated frankly to newspaper men that
the members of the senate were agreed
that nothing stood in the way of har-
monious support of the party plat
form" as to tariff revision.
The senate situation was canvassed
in detail in the conference. The dan
gers hat might threaten a single bill
should the opponents Of free sugar
and free wool combine in sufficient
strength to endanger Tie Democratic
majority in. the senate, were discuss
ed; but no agreement was reached
that binds the senate leaders to any
definite line of action.
While the senate conference was in
progress, the full Democratic member
ship of the house vas in caucus at the
other end of the capitol, discussing the
details of the tariff bill the first sched-
ule of which wal agreed to without
change. Representative Underwood,
the Democratic leader, stated at the
conclusion of the days caucus, that
the tariff revision would go through
the house as a single bill.

few days. Some of the men who have
already been seen have agreed to grow
the beets on a small scale this year,
and if the experiment proves to be a
profitable one, arrangements will be
made for cu~ltivating the crop on a
larger scale next year.
Persons who are familiar with grow
ing the beet crop are pleased. over the
prospects for cultivating the beets in
large quantities in this section of the
state and that the government is so
fayorably impressed with this section
as to send a member of the agricul-
tural department here to interest the
farmers is regarded as an Indication
that Uncle Sam will encourage the
growing of the crop in this locality.

the trial of ]. Edward Wamsley
charged with the killing of his faith

took place last September Robert
son was killed in the barn Of his
farm west of Vienna and them was
left to be deyoured by flames that
destroyed the place, purpo3ely start
ed by the murderer The dead man
was well known and very promin-
.ent.
There appears to have been no
motive for the deed. What little re-
mained of the dead mans body was
riddled with bullets and identifica-
tion was impossible
Robertson and Wamsley were the
only persons known to have been In
the barn at the time. Wamsley got
out and was badly bruised up and
claims that some unknown man was
in the barn at the time and com
mitted the crime.
The jury is now engaged in lis
tening to the testimony and hun
dreds of witnesses, many of them
from Tuscola and Decatur are in
attendance. No eye witnesses saw
any part of the events leading t0
the tragedy and the case Is shr0uded
