Utilization of Peat and Brown Coal

Now that it is possible to convert
Inferior fuels, such as peat and brown
coal, with a relatively high degree of
efficiency into gas by generators and to
make practical use of them as sources
Of power, the interest In them is in
creasing. In northern Germany, where
water power Is not easily available,
the high and low Dogs are destined to
furnish the fuel needed for the gen
GRAFTON Of electricity. The experiences
Of the overland power plant IN the
Auricher Wiesmoor have proved that
with a peat consumption Of kios
(4.4 pounds) per kilowatt hour the
peat boys are an economically useful
source Of power of great extent and
duration.-Scientific American.

Fine Crop Sugar Beets
In Codington County

Mr.. C. Fl. Allen, of Ohio, represent,
ing concerns of the country, was in
| the city Monday and was a guest Of
the Chamber of Commerce MONDAY
luncheon at the Kampeska hotel.
Nj. Allen discussed sugar beets, OF
course. He said he had been agree.
ably surprised to find such a fine
field of sugar beets as he had visited
last Saturday. 1t was a seyen-acre
piece north of the city, one which Mr..
]. H. Selmser is growing.
Exhibiting one of the beets, Mr.. Al
len explained that it's sugar that the
manufacturers want, not merely vege-
%tation. The exceptionally large beet,
he said, is not apt to have a very sat
isfactory percentage of sugar.
81 shall be sadly Disappointed he
continued, "if Mr.. Selmser does not
clean up a profit of fifty dollars an
acre on that acreage of beets, provid-
ing nothing happens to them between
this date and the time of digging. 1t
is one of the finest fields of beets that
| have ever seen, and it shows to me
beyond doubt that your locality is
adapted to the growing of beets."
Mr.. Allen also visited a fine thirty
acre tract of beets near Thomas, cuI-
tivated by Mr.. C. T. Junkins. This
field also promises large returns for
the owner.
Besides" concluded the gentle
man, the growing of beets puts land
into fine shape for succeeding crops.
Germany today would not have been
able to carry on the war she is prose-
cutting had it not been for her beet
culture for many years past
Mr.. Junkins, by the way, on the
strength of his experiment this sea-
son, has bought a tract of land a mile
so northeast of the city-about a
half mile east and a little north of
Mount Hope cemetery.
