silver City, ~ NJ. Feb. l. The
proposition Of George II. Utter. local
mining man and capitalist. to build a
modern tourist hotel In silver ,ity,
was discussed Monday afternoon At q
conference held with Mr.. Utter by
members of the chamber OF COM
merce executive committee.
At the conference u was tentative
~ decided 10 enter into deal with
Mr. Utter as follows; The citizens -
Silver C!ty are TO convey certain lots
To Mr.. Utter as "A site for the erection
thereon OF hotel costing not less
han S70,O00 and, according TO a
statement by Mr.. Utter. he may build
a 100000 hotel

Strong Words.

Big words pass for sense with
some people and sometimes may bs
very successfully used when nothing
else will answer, says an English
writer. thus when a man, in great
alarm, ran to his minister to tell
him he could see spots on the sun
and thought the world must be COM
ing to an end, "Oh, don't be afraid
said the good minister, ''it's nothing
but q phantasmagoria." 'Ts that

then he went away relieved.
A, very smart lawyer some time
since had the misfortune to lose o
case for n client who had every rea-
son TO expect success. The client, q
plain old farmer, was astounded by
the long bill OF costs and, Fastening

GOOD CROP FOR INDIANA.
Farmers Find Profit In Sugar Beets
and Increased Yield Of Other Creps-

Farmers flnd Front In sugar 6eete
and Increased Yield of Other Creps-
How sugar beet growing I'm Indiana
has worked out thus far in actual prac-
tice may be seen by a few instances
Of Indiana farmers who have planted
the new crop and have kept a record
Of cost and profit. III. Haggard OF Mon
roe put twenty acres into sugar beets.
He gathered fifteen tons per acre. q
little above the average crop. and
made profit OF $500. or $40 an acre.
John Hyerly of Bluffton got a crop OF
nineteen tons to the acre from a field
Of thirteen acres. His profit after de-
| ducting all expenses was S62 an acre.
This, he said. was the biggest profit he
had ever made or farming land.
Fred lsch OF Bluffton kept a careful
account of his different crops. His
corn netted him profit OF S2S an acre.
his oats SIS, and twelve and half acres
Of sugar beets gave him S52 an acre
above expenses. This. he said, proved
to his satisfaction that ''beet growing
Is money maker for the farmer, aside
from the vast amount OF good his land
derives from beets and the lessons In
scientific farming they teach himS
Fifteen acres In sugar beets gave q
yield of eleven tons to the acre on the
farm OF r. w. Bushy OF Monroe. Mr..
Bushy declared that be was well pleas
ed with the outcome OF his first season
with the crop,
I'VE had an unusual rainfall here
abouts," he said, (which injured all
our crops, and I feel sure that with
the usual weather ! could almost dou-
BILE my tonnage per acre. AS 1t was, I
made a profit Of about SIS per acre,
and. although have not had any per
sonal experience Of the good the land
receives from cultiveting beets, have
seen other farmers who have almost
doubled their oat crop by rotation with
beets."
William Caesar Of Preble had raised
beets In Michigan for seven years be-
fore coming 30 Indiana. He said that
the rainy season Of last year did not
SANG u Ao1k tcot Oi kut InQ1dud kOli, yet
he found his new land better fitted for
the crop than the farm he had left In
Michigan. Even with last years rainy
weather he averaged thirteen tons OF
beets to the acre and looked for from
fifteen to twenty in the coming season.
He planted fourteen acres last year
and this spring will plant forty.
"I know from actual experience" he
said, that q farmer can harvest from
twenty-five 10 thirty bushels more oats
per acre on the land.he has sown to
beets than he couldH before growing
them"
l.. A. Thomas OF Monroe. who vas
growing becfs for the second time last
year. said that HIS beet crop had drop
ped from twenty tons 90 The acre TO
eleven on account or the unfavorable
weather. but that he felt hc had made
big profit Notwithstanding. The oats
which he planted on his former beet
land yielded double the amount he had
! been accustomed 10 harvest because or
the added fertility OF the soil produced
by beet cultivation.

SUGAR BEET INDUSTRY.
Wages and Prices Of Beets Much High.
or In tho United States.


or In tho United statsa'
The difference between the copdi-
tions under which beet sugar Is produc-
ed In the United States and Europe IL
strikingly shown by report just pub
llshed as United States senate doc.
ument. Summarizing III reports from
various European countries, this docu-
ment shows that 65 cents a day was
the highest rate earned by men work
Ing In the European beet fields. while
40 cents was the average rate. In all
the European countries, however, the
greater part OF the fkid labor In done
by women and children at wages rang
ting from 10 cents a day for children
In Russia TO 80 cents a day for women
In Denmark. To these poor laborers
the S2.60 a day, which represents tho
average earnings OF Beld workers In
the United States. must appear q
princely income.
Among the factory workers engaged
In beet sugar production the difference
IS equally striking. The men working
Ia the factories OF the great European
sugar making countries, France and
Germany. receive an average daily
wage OF 81 cents, according 20 Official
figures published by their own govern
ments. The average American wage
for employees In the beet sugar facto-
ries. $3.50 n day. IS more than three
times as great.
Likewise tie farmers who grow the
beets In Europe receive only 81 10
$3.50 q ton for their crops. although
they. pay four to five times IA much
rent for their land IS the American
farmer does.
While these figures serve % show
why IL Is that Europe can produce sug-
ar cheaper than the United States. it
Is an interesting fact that the only
important country OF Europe where
the people are able 10 buy sugar
cheaper than IN the ULlted States IL
England. Even In England the price
paid for the sugar most generally used
h as high as the prices paid here. ON
the whole. the lot OF an American sugar
beet grower or workec must be -consid-
ered preferable to that o. hh Euro
pean competitor.
