More Profitable Than Wheat.

While some farmers hastened to plant wheat instead of beets those who stayed with beets made more money. In some sections of the west beet growers got as high as six to twelve dollars an acre for the beet-top forage. When wheat returns to near the dollar mark the farmers will re- turn more largely to planting the sugar beet.
 It is interesting to note that while the beet growers of North eastern Colorado will have re- ceived for this years crop of beets, approximately $11, ,5OO,OOO or about $1.24O.0O6 more than they received from the 1917 crop, the fact remains that there were something over 23.0O0 less acres grown than in 1917. In other words, Colorado will have receiv- ed approximately 12 per cent in- creased gross proceeds from the beet crop and produced about 20 per cent less than in 1917.
 The average price of beets in 1917 in Northeastern Colorado was $7.35 per ton. The beets averaged 12 tons to the acre thus yielding the farmer $88.20 per acre gross. The 1918 price was S1O.OO, or $12O.OO per acre gross on same tonnage. The Manufac- turer.

Food Administration working in all Parts of Arizona Cause
 Lower Price of Meat.

Phoenix, Dec. 26.-The food administration announces a re- ductiOn in the price of meat through voluntary action by all of the meat dealers of Yuma, Bisbee, Douglas, Kingman. Win slow, Flagstaff, Williams, and by the Tribolet company in Phoenix, averaging nearly 5 cents a pound.
 This comes as the direct result of a state wide probe by the fed eral food authorities into the meat situation. Government inspect ors have been working for some time checking prices and study ing margins of profit.
 Tribolet's market of Phoenix is given credit by the food ad- ministration as being the first large concern here to voluntarily reduce prices. T h e Phoenix Wholesale Meat and Produce con- pany, which the food administra- tiOn says controls seven shops in this city, has thus far refused to voluntarily reduce it retail prices, it is stated.
 Inspectors of the food admins tration are continuing their meat investigation in other parts of the state. Special attention IS being given also to enforce the regula- tions on butter, cheese and stOr- age eggs until the end of the present storage season.

 Unpublished.

Washington. n.--Casualty lists of the American expeditionary forces, which have not been pub lished. but which have been an- nounced officially, by General Pershing, had been reduced at noon, Dec. IS, to a total of 66, 892. These, the war department an- nounced, were classified as fol lows:
 Major casualties, including kill ed in action, died of wounds, died of disease and died O. f other causes, 1880; wounded, GA, 1882; missing and prisoners, $50.
 A large percentage of the GA, = 862 names listed as wounded are minor cases it was said, many patients having long since recOv- cred and returned to duty. Off, cials explained that total Is really less, due to the fact that General Pershing's total included marine casualties of 1902 killed and more than 1000 wounded. which al- ready had been published by the corps headquarters.
