can do raising sugar beats-cleal
per acre from land selling at So
to $50 per acre. 1t has been done
in this state and what can be done
by one can be done by another.
Wheat grown free of cost and
worth one dollar per bushel would
have to go 40 bushels to the acre
to equal the profit from one acle Of
sugar beets. The soil and climate
of SOnth Dakota are naturally
adapted to the raising of sugar
beets and this plant takes practi-
cally none Of the elements of the
soil as the sugar of the plant is
taken from the air. The Belle
FOurche Bee has the following
to say;
In an interview with Professor
j. w. Wilson of the State COLLEGE
he said in part: Il believe that
the ar beet industry will become
one of the principal industries Of
5 SDuth Dakota Experiments con
Quoted at this station indicate that
our climate, our soil and natural
resources are admlaEle for the
successful growing of sugar beets.
The by-product Of a SUGAR beet
factory is very valuable to balance
the ration 70. feeding of stee and
dairy COWS, and the benefits to be
derieved f ON the establishment of
single sugar bet factory in South
Dakota would be far reaching.
Professor Shepard the chemist,
gives some interesting data: The
tonnage this year is averaging over
II tons Of beets per acre, they are
worth 81 per ton, while the cost of
proGtction is about $92. The
sugar alone is avera. ing around
four tons per acre for which grocers
pay $40 ber hundred pounds.
AS for the effect upon the soil, y
says Professor Shepard. 1t mus
be remembered that sugar comes
en.ne!y from the air, and if the
tops are left on the ground and the
sugar pllp fed to stock, nothing j.
taken from the soil. On the Other
hand, beet roots penetrate ver,
deep, eight GG ten feet, which opens
the Gwcr soil and allows water to
pass up and down. Also the deer
cultivation makes the soil porus
and increases the yield of subsc-
ouent crops. One plot, after be
ing used three yeats, was plowed
and sown to oats, and the yield
was better than 90 bushels per acre.
The trouble with our farmers ix
that they are charry OF trying sotne-
thing new. Wheat has ALWAYS
been regarded e. the standby and
among rAany always will he, The
cost OF experimenting with an acre
of beets would not be over $50 and
for so snall an amount no grand
opportunity as this promises TO lie
should slip by.

Contract for Telephone Building
P. H. Lorenz has been awarded the
contract for the remodeling of the Cen
trail Union Telephone company's build
ing on Fifth avenue. The contract
price is in the neighborhood of S10,-
600. According to the plans drawn by
H. W. Whitsitt, the exterior facing the
avenue viii be materially altered in
design, but the new front will be 10
feet south of the present one, the
building thus conforming with the line
of other structures on the south side
of the thoroughfare. This action is
taken in view OF the widening OF Fifth.
The rear of the building is to be ex-
tended 80 feet, giving room for sew
eral more units. The local contractor
has also started work upon a $4,000
job at Freeport, making additions of
a filtering plant and boiler room to
the pumping station and reservoir
which he constructed last year.
Found Dead by Dauehter.-Andrew
Hooker, an aged man, living alone at
1922 Third avenue. was found in his
bedroom yesterday morning in stOop-
ed over posture. Only his shoes were
off, and he had evidently died while
preparing to retire for the night The
news of his death came as a great
shock, as he had been working up to
Tuesday evening as a flagman. His
daughter, Mrs. Olof Sandell, had been
cooking his meals and cleaning up his
home, and she says that she saw a
light in the house at $3.50 Tuesday
night. MI Hooker was born in Swe-
den, July II, 1S41 He came to Amer
lea in 1875 to Gerlow, Ill, and came
to Moline in 1891, living here ever
since. While in Sweden he married
years ago. Fourteen years ago he was
again joined in wedlock to Mrs. 10
sephine Rundstedt, his second wife
dying two years later Two children
resulted from his first marriage, they
being Olof of Galesburg, H., and Mrs.
Olof Swanson of Moline. He leaves
also two stepdaughters, Mrs. Magda
Sandstrom and Mrs. Hulder Nurd
strom, both living in California. 1t is
thought that the cause of his death
was heart trouble. He had not beer
sick, although he was slightly ailing
due probably to his years.
