teach a new doctrine: That 10 pounds
to the acre is quite enough. This
finds ready acceptance with the for
eign-born beet men, who never plant
ed more than 10 or II pounds in
Europe. but the American grower is
inclined to do what the companies
are begging him not to do. Still plant
20 pounds to the acre, but cut down
the acreage to correspond with the
short seed supply.
This shortage has caused reversal
of the relations between the factories
and the growers. In the past the
farmers didn't care whether they
raised beets or not, because they
claimed other crops paid as well with
less work. But this season the seed
shortage has caused the companies
to surrender acreage they have held
for years. Scores of weigh stations
have been closed all over the state.
and the factories are accepting most
OF their contracts within wagon haul
OF their plants. thus saving freights.
And instead Of the sugar companies
pleading with the farmers 70 raise
a few beets. the farmers are implor-
ing the companies 10 accept their
contracts. Quite q considerable num-
Der are being turned down.

LANSING NOTES

Lansing-As a result of the refusal
of the Public Domain commission to
give away the states rights on min
eral reservations of $500 acres OF
land i'm Pressure Isle county, vast
stores of limestone may not be quar-
ried by the Michigan Limestone and
Chemical Co.. with Offices in Buffalo,
N. Y.
A representative of the company
told the commission that il had con
tracted to purchase $500 acres of wild
lands bordering the lake shore, from
a private party in Alpena, but that
when the deeds we're delivered 1t was
noted that the state had a reserva-
ton of the gas, coal, oil and mineral
rights. The question then arose
whether limestone was a mineral and
considerable correspondence took
place between the Buffalo Offices of
the company and A. c. Carton, secre-
tary of the public domain commission.
The company contended that lime
stone was not a mineral and that the
state had no right to reserve such de-
posits. However the matter was re
ferred to the full commission, with
the result the company was told the
state would enter into deal on a
royalty basis This the corporation
was unwilling TO do.
Originally the land was purchased
rom the state at 81 an acre, but after
he law Of 1909 had been passed by
which all state lands sold contained

He Simply Can't Help It

The keynote speech of Isaac Barth at the
state Democratic convention at AlDnquer-
que today impresses us as a rather mastery
presentation of the Democratic national
case. To be more accurate Mr.. Barth has
done extremely we'll with the very poor de-
tense material available to the Democrats
IN this campaign. in view of the record made
by President Wilson. We cheerfully disa-
cree, of course, with practically everything
Mr.. Barth says about the Democratic rec
ord in congress and the White House.
That's all right, naturally.
But the fly in the ointment is something
else again.
Al lot Of Republicans have been scoffing
at the idea that Barth could possibly make
a serious speech. The New Mexican has
Indignantly believed that Barth could make
not only a serious speech but a speech OF
the deepest gravity. 1t was with some pride
today that we read along through the elo'
dlient address of the keynoter, more and
more convinced at every word that we had
bcen right and that our Judgment Of the
eminent Democrat was indicated. Mr..
Blrth, indeed, could make a serious speech,
we reflected. We told you so, was our
thought. Then we collapsed like a busted
balloon and reluctantly had to admit, with
humiliation, that after all we had built on
false hopes and that our judgment was
punk: that a humorist is a humorist now,
he is a humorist anyhow, and shall forever
be, and that Barth's joke is an inevitable as
death and poll taxes and as immutable as
the laws of the late Modes, Persians ana
others, when we came to the statement that:
ut has been the policy of the administra.
ton to let Mexico fight out her W battles.
