In these days when every farmer is
going to be called upon to put as
much acreage under cultivation as
possible, it might be well to draft in
70 service the untitled acres Of Man
chester. Some of the finest farms in
this town are practically producing
nothing but little hay Hay is all
right in its place but it's a mighty
poor substitute to feed humans on.
Potatoes, beans, corn and oats can be
used 10 much better advantage.

mean a much greater develop

people.
The territory belongs to the
people and why shouldn't the
best benefits possible be derived
by them. We have a great and
fertile territory and the products
mean everything to its populace.
We have more than enough legit-
innate sugar beet acreage to main
tain a modern sugar factory, and
like other sections (who have
obtained their demands) we are
going to demand that a sugar
factory be established within our
midst, which is nothing more
than just and right. Consider

What is the territory which
comprises the Colorado Nebraska
Beet Growers Association going
to do with considerably over 10,-
600 acres of legitimate sugar beet
That's the question
now. Some two months ago, the
question was whether or not 10,-
600 acres of legitimate sugar beet
acreage could be secured. Now
that fact has been proven by in
vestigation work which has been
conducted through the efforts of
the Board of Control of the asso-
citation. The work is not yet com
pleted, as the weather conditions
during the past two weeks has
been more or less a hinderance
in its progress, but it is being
pushed to completion just as rap
idly as possible, and in most
thorough manner.
Notwithstanding the fact that
the work is not entirely COM
pleted, it is safe to estimate that

Range Blows
Up at Austin
Home on Wed.

County judge G. H. Austin
had a very narrow escape from
serious injury yesterday morning
when a range at his residence
blew up, after a fire had been
started. The water pipes leading
to the range had been frozen dur
ing the night and after tho stove
began to heat them up the ex-
plosion occurred. Aside from a
few minor bruises the judge es-
capped what might have been fatal
injury. 1t was thought at the
time that the kitchen would
catch fire, and the fire alarm was
sounded and was responded to by
a few of the early risers, but it
was soon discovered there was no
fire.

territory, the stimulus Of such an
institution will materially in
crease the acreage. This fact is
highly encouraging to the Board
of Control and is entirely above
their expectations, but will be
used by them as more prestige in
making negotiations with capital
to secure a sugar factory for the
territory. Just as soon as they
are in possession of the complete
details of the investigation work,
the board will put the matter up
to some sugar company, who will
be interested in taking hold of
territory that offers a large sugar

of a sugar factory within its
