GOOD CROP FOR INDIANA.

Farmers Fi,:5 Profit In Sugar 5ssts
and Increased Yield of Other Crops
How sugar beet growing In Indiana
has worked out thus far in actual prac-
tice may be seen by a few instances
OF Indiana farmers who have planted

Of cost and profit III. Haggard OF Mon
roe put twenty acres into sugar beets.
He gathered fifteen tons per acre, a
little above the average crop. and
made a profit OF $500, or SO an acre.
John Hyerly OF Button got a crop OF
nineteen tons TO the acre from a field
OF thirteen acres. His profit after de
Quoting all expenses was SCI an acre.
This, he said. was the biggest profit be
had ever made on farming land.
Fred Isch Of Button kept a CAREFUL
account OF his different crops. His
corn Melted him profit OF SIS an acre.
his oats SIS. and twelve and a half acres
OF sugar beets gave him So an acre
above expenses. This, he said, proved
to bis satisfaction that beet growing
is money maker for the farmer. aside
from the vast amount of good his hxnd
derives from beets and the lessOS lin
scientific farming they teach hing
Fifteen acres in sugar beets gave
yield OF eleven tons TO the acre on the
farm Of +. W. Bushy OF Monroe. Mr.
Bushy declared that he was well pleas

William Caesar of Preble had raised
beets in Michigan for seven years be-
fore coming to Indiana. He said that

give fair test of the Indiana soil, yet
he found his new land better fitted for

l.. A. Thomas of Monroe. who was
growing beets for the second time last

weather, but that he felt he had made

which he planted, on his former beet
land yielded double the amount nc had

!. THE MAN ABOUT TOWN

Merchants who sit around and
complain of the encroachment
of the mail order houses, and
that encroachment in Jasper is
enough to keep two extra clerks
busy if the trade they get here
was given to Jasper, should pat
tern after L. G.. Gustavel of
Monticello, Ind. He is in the
furniture. hardware and grocery
business in Monticello and what
he does in that business can be
duplicated in any other business,
He carries an ad every week in
the local papers and they are
live wires and mean something
Here is one of them: Our A.
inch all-oak porch swing COM
plete with chain and including a
% pound package of sugar, all
for 1896. Mail order price, (see
catalogue No. 81, page 545), is
50 95-you pay the freight, get
a swing only "A inches long, and
no sugar" The people there
know they can get swing in
Monticello and at what price.
And the price is lower than they
can get from a mail order house.
There are hundreds of things
which can be bought in Jasper
for less money than from any
mail order house On earth but
you don't know it. You haven't
time to go around and inquire
what the INGREDIENTS have and
the mail order house comes to
your home with his ad and tells
you what he has and at what
price and gives you a glowing
description of it. The local ner-
chant can get to you cheaper
than the mail order house can
and from one standpoint you are
not blamed for trading with the
mail order house. But the
truth of the matter is the local
man handles the best goods for
less money and he helps to build
up your community and mine
but we can't help it unless he
tells us what he has and at what
price we can buy it at. If some
# our local merchants would
wake up to the fact like the
Monticello man has, business in
this old town would pick up and
the hundreds of mail order pack
ages that are forcing our mail
carriers to get larger vehicles to
carry would grow thinner.
