NOTHING TO FEAR FROM GERMANY
Engineering Magazine)

In the summer of 1913, 300 members of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers visited Germany the invitation of the Veren Deutscher In- genieure. We spent three weeks touring the country and visited most of the great cities, where were entertained with the greatest possible hospitality, and had thrown open to many of their most successful industrial plants We much impress sed with what we saw and the universal prevalence of system and order elicted unbounded admiration. When, however, to the consideration of the industrial plants units, in aroos entire accord that with the exception of few industries, plant for plant, America had nothing to fear from Germany.

weasel and the egg. Mr.. Wilson has
said that he will furnish no protec-
ton to the business men who have
made investments in Mexico; and for
once his conduct on this point has
made his words good, for he has not
protected any man in Mexico, wheth-
er working man, miner or rancher.
Now, the country is entitled to know
whether he really intends to reverse
himself on his policy so far as coun-
tries outside of Mexico are con-
cened; and if so, why; and just what
measure of protection he contem-
plates furnishing those business men
who accept his rather dangerous in
vitation. The plainest construction
of honesty and sincerity demand that
he either reverse his Mexican policy
or else announce that the only safe
course for American business men
in the future lies in avoiding effort
to finance" or having any connec-
ton with "the chief undertakings of
the world" ouside of the United
States. There is no middle ground,
put this direct question to Mr.. Will
son. Which Of these positions does
he take Either he does not stand
on his Mexican record, in which case
he ought to admit the hideous and
lamentable blunder of his whole Mex
lean policy for the last three and
a half years; or else he does stand
on his Mexican record, and if SO his
asking American business men to go
into foreign markets is downright hy-
pocrisy. If Mr.. Wilson will, not by
subtle and adroit evasion, but with
downright straightforwardness, at
tempt to answer this question, be-
Iieve he will find the attempt very
to what he calls his "in-
llsctual process"

TAkl BEET INDUSTRY

r. w. spcir, assistant manager Of

the city on his return from two
weeks trip through the sugar beet
country OF Colorado and Northern
Nebraska.

results that successful beet raising
brings 10 a country. Before they
started raising beets commercially,
those people south Of us had coun-
try essentially similar to ours and
were getting along pretty we'll in
raising grain and alfalfa. AS you
know, We count on making anacre
produce S25 to $50 year on this
basis. Now look at their figures. In
the Windsor Colorado district last
year, there were 446 farmers who
farmed 1927 acres in sugar beets.
They mad some trouble from hail in
streaks, just as we did-one man
was hailed five times during the sea-
son-but the man at the tail end of
the list got 1927 per acre for his
crop. This was the nearest APP
prOach to afailure.
The star performer was Mr.. Bruce
Anderson, who raised 1921 tons per
acre on 1920 acres and his check
from the sugar company was $2174.-
6S, or $134.24 per acre. This was
the best, but Mr.. Anderson did not
lack for company. Out OF the 446
farmers there We're Z who realized
over S1Go per acre. Only SO re-
allied less than $50 per acre and the
remaining 1872 farmers (about 70
per cent OF the total) raised from
$50 to $500 per acre. The general
average for the district was 1929
per acre.
