Beet Growers Are
Hampered by Lack

such as to presage a decidedly profitable
beet SUGAR year in the United States

fact that only in few states has the
production OF beet seed been demon

problem may not only prevent any ma
terial increase In very profitable bust
ness but may largely reduce the acreage
Of beets to be grown next spring.
Beet sugar factories report but small

The local factory has about % per cent OF

The fear of the beet sugar managers is
that even II there is a cessation OF war

been destroyed or at least so decimated as
to leave no seed over for export. The war

are being forced into ranks of the Aus

Lew Herman had much money and spent
it lavishly. His friends were legion and
never a beggar was turned from his door
without aims. But Sunday Lew Herman
was buried and only three men attended,
SO that it was necessary to get strangers
to act as pellbearers. His funeral cor

sister. only surviving member of his fam
lily He died in the county hospital.
Lew Herman was born in Omaha 81
years ago He owned a saloon on lower
Douglas street for several years, but after
the bridge was built across the river his
business was ruined because his saloon
was near the river bank under the bridge.
He had but one leg, although he was
an excellent swimmer Three lives are to
his credit, for he saved them from
drowning when death seemed certain.
Dinny Lynch, Tom Flynn and Walter
Brandes were the only old friends Of
Herman who attended the funeral
