BIG ACREAGE ASSURED.
Sugar Beet Crop of Lamar Territory
to Be Largest in Years.

Messrs. Swink and Mayhem. local
agriculturists for the American
Beet Sugar Company, report that
the acreage of sugar beet contracts
already signed up in the Lamar ter.
ritOry exceeds considerably the
total amount expected by the COM
pany in this part of the valley. The
new contracts are very popular as
the uncertainty of market cOndi.
tions this year makes fixed con.
tract at such price as ten dollars
per ton for beets one of the safest
things the farmers can handle.
Even with the highest prices ever
known for labor prevailing last sea
son, the experienced farmers, who
raised beets, made more money on
the crop than on any other part of
the farm, and this season the price
of the product will be the same
with much better labor situation
from the farmers standpoint
Many Of those who raised beets last
years are more than doubling their
acreage this season, and more new
men are signing up than for years

Do Chickens Paw?

In these days of high cost OF feed
it has been somewhat Of a problem
with the farmer as to whether or
not it really paid to feed and take
care of flock of hens. We are not
going to attempt to prove that the
chicken industry is gold mine,
but here is what Mr.. and Mrs. J.. A.
Thompson, south of Flagler, have
done during the month of Janu-
ary. They have bunch of 68 hens,
and during the past month have
received from these hens a total of
97S eggs, which were sold to local
dealers for $685.. They kept an ac
curate account of the feed consum-
ed by the flock which amounted to
Just $ll.68, leaving them total net
profit of $24.97. Draw your own
conclusions.--Flagler News.

Record Ticket Sales.

most impossible roads during this
time, reducing the travel by auto
to negligible figure. During this
same time the freight business was
very heavy, making the receipts
from the Wiley depot a valuable
adjunct to the big business of the
