Russian Revolution Broadens.

In Russia, the strife for control is
assuming broader aspects. The appa-
rent solidifcation of the Ukraine-Cos-
sack movement in southern Russia
seems TO be giving the opposition to
the bolshevik a firmer hold on that
territory The Petrograd commissaries
themselves are considerably worried by
the spread of the separatist movement.
which prospectively is cutting huge
slices off Russian territory. not only
in the direction of the Ukraine and
the Don region. but in various other
quarters. Evidence of this appears in
their sending emissaries to the numer-
Gus affected districts in an effort to line
them up again in support OF the boil
shevik regime at Petrograd.
The status of the Russian peace nego-
tiations continues uncertain. Further
reports are coming out of Petrograd
that the negotiations We're broken off
because of the Objectionable nature of
the German terms and that the Russian
representatives have left Brest-Litovsk.
Up to a late hour there has been
neither confirmation nor denial from
Official sources of these reports. ]

Larson sold his ten-acre truck farm
half mile west of town to Andrew Jen-
sen for $4,000. The sale likewise dis
closed farm crop production record
that is remarkable, Larson growing
crops on his little farm this year that
value Of the place.
From seven and one-half acres of
the ten, Larson produced $4,000 worth
Of onions and grew potatoes and 9TH

acre that brought his total returns up
to $4,000. He grew 1000 bushels OF
onions on the seven and one-half acres
that he marketed at from 81 to $1.25
per bushel.
That his little farm has done this for
several years and not for one alone
was learned from Larson, who maze
his farm pay practically as big returns

Scientific methods of crop rotation
and building up the soil fertility are
the prime factors in making land pro-

SUGAR FACTORY TO START.
Big Mason City Beet Sugar Work:
Ready For Business.

Mason City, Oct. eff there is no
hitch in the final connecting OF the
machinery, the big plant OF the NORTH
ern Sugar Corporation, northwest or
the city, will begin sllcing beets next
week and the manufacture of White
sugar will be in smooth process by
Nov. 1. The new plant is a tremendous
addition to the city both in the way OF
furnishing employment to q half thou
sand men at the factory and to three
times that number of people in the
summer months cultivating the beets IN
a territory Of fifty miles about the city:
The building of this great plant right
thru the stress of war times has put
million dollars in circulation, much OF
1t in labor, and the winters run OF the
plant will put in circulation as much
more in wages to employees at cne
plant and the purchase of beets from
the farmers. 1t is estimated that the
pay roll at the plant for the season
of 100 days active operation will be
over 1925, 900 and at least $75O,00o VIII
70 to the farmers in radius Of fifty
miles for beets It will thus be seen
that the sugar factory not only bene-
dts Mason City, but increases the value
Of every farm in the beet radius. The
farmer is the greatest beneficiary Tor
the beet raising helps enrich the soil,
and the by-products Of pulp lime cake
