beet grower may not be able to fl
nance themselves under a beet con-
tract with delayed payments To
meet that condition the growers will
be offered, IN addition to the contract
mentioned above. a flat--ate contract
carrying :. gU@E-nteed price of 81
per ton, payable as customary III the
past. The beet growers may sign
either contract, or may sign definite
acreage under each. In the latter
case,the tonnage delivered by one
grower under two contracts will be
divided in proportion to the acreage
contracted on each basis. and paid for
accordingly. Growers may be allow
ed the privilege of changing from one
form of contract to the other prior to
May lst next, but il is the Com
pany's intention at that time to re-
fuse 10 allow change of acreage
from one 20 the other.
Ii is Only proper that we take Oc-
casion to say that we fully realize
the serious financial condition which
today cOnfronts virtually all produc-
ers of agricultural products. and in
determing upon beet prices for the
1921 crop We have felt it an obliga-
ton to offer the most attractive con
tract warranted under prospective
conditions. We have given careful
consideration to all of the views sub
mitted, and feel confident that pro,
gress has been made which will be OF
great value in the future.

THE GREAT WESTERN
SUGAR CO. MAKES
REPLY TO GROWERS

ufactured from beets delivered un-
der the contract; in other words, sug-
ar of the 1921 crop sold between Oct.
list, 1921 and October lst. 1922.
A contract under which the grower
becomes participant in the proceeds
realized from the sake of sugar must,
IN fairness, subject him TO a disabil-
ity under which the Company has al
ways operated; namely, the necessity
Of carrying the product through the
year until sold. In paying for beets
on flat-rate basis. the Company
has assured the burden of liability of
marketing the refined product, and
II is virtually out of the question TO
devise form of payment under which
the grower participates in the market
ing of the sugar without, at the same
time, delaying the returns for his
crop. In the final analysis, of course,
and in a period Of years, the prices
paid for beets, even under flat-rate
form of contract, have been very
largely determined by the selling
price Of sugar. At the same time, a
flat-rate basis Of payment avoids, for
the grower, the hazard of price specu-
lation, as far as any one season is
concerned, and also any delay in final
payment.
The existing system of financing the
crop in the territories in which we
operate has for twenty years been
based upon the principle of a guar
anteed price, and we believe that all
parties involved recognize that ser
ious disturbance and unsettlement
might occur if the change from . long
established basis Of payment were
made too abruptly.
In consequence Of that opinion. we
propose to offer in addition to a con-
tract basing the beet payment upon
the selling price Of sugar the alterna-

Company's books of account To
meet, as far as possible. the objection
TO payment part of which would
have to be delayed until the net SELL

ed. II has been decided to guarantee
a minimum payment on the sliding

the 18th of each month for beets de-
hvered during the previous calendar
month; further payments to be made
from time to time as the net selling
price of sugar and the quantity sold
may justify, and final payment to be
made not later than October 10, 1922
The guaranteed minimum payment
of S6 ton was placed in the con-
tract at the earnest solicitation of the
representatives of the Growers As

they, as well as we, realized the in
consistency of guaranteed mini

THE NEEDS OF THE BIRDS

The agricultural prosperity of the
country depends upon having a suf-
ficient supply of birds to keep the
pests down. Yet many gardeners
are bitterly opposed to certain use-
full varieties, on the ground that they
peck at their fruits and spoil them.
If shallow pans of water are put
out in ones garden and orchard all
summer, the birds will be much more
likely to let the juicy fruits alone.
Severe winter weather does much to
reduce bird life. People who want
valuable species to flourish, should
see that little supplies of food thrown
out through the cold weather.

LANCDON DEATH
Note to Japan Follows.
Shidehara's Visit
- To Davis.

Regarding the killing OF naval
Lieut. W. H. Langdon as serious
and regrettable," the American
State Department has transmitted
TO the Japanese government a de-
msnd that adequate steps" be i'm
medIately taken toward rectifying
the WRONG so far as possible and
preventing a recurrence of such an
Incident
At the same time an American
naval court of inquiry, composed OF
high ranking officers of the Asiatic
feet, was authorized yesterday by
Rear Admiral GIeaves, commander
in-chief of United States forces in
Asiatic waters. and accompanied by
the admiral will leave Manila Janu-
ary 20 for Vladivostok aboard his
flagship to investigate the circum-
stances surrounding the killing OF
the naval officer.
Davis Forwards Note.
In the note to Japan forwarded
by Acting Secretary OF State Sorman
H. Davis. the Tokyo foreign office
Is advised that this government has
been advised of the fact of Lang
don's death, and confidence is eX-
pressed that the Nippon govern
ment will view the incident in the
same light as this government. The
memorandum recites that the act Of
the Japanese sentry is believed to
be an unjustified attempt to detain
an American officer, and the infer
ence is plain that doubt is felt by
this government as to the right Of
the Japan government to continue
its occupation and patrol of the city
OF Vladivostok.
The dispatch of the American note
to Japan was decided upon after
Baron Shidehara, japanese Ambas-
sador to the United States, had
called at the State Department and
expressed the regrets OF his govern
ment over the incident.
Baron's Call Not An Apology.
The call of Baron Shidehara, how
ever. was not interpreted as an
apology, and was not accepted by
the State Department as adequate
explanation of the killing of Lang
don.
The naval court OF inquiry named
by Admiral Gleaves is composed of
Capt. H. I. Cone, commanding the
Huron, flagship OF the commander
ln-chief; Comdr. J. B. Rhodes. COM
manding the Wilmington; Comdr.
Robert V. Lowe, commanding the
naval station at OlongapO, Philip
pine Islands, and Maj. Eugene P.

Admiral Gleaves notified the Navy
Department that the Japanese au-
thorities at Vladivostok had ordered

OF Henri Landru, the princinal IN

ger case, to-day reached the stage of
interrogatlng the prisoner on the fate
o. ms second tiancee, whom, the state
charges, he slew. The prosecution has
puiIt up mass of circumstantial nv;-
dence against Landru in the case of the
disappearance of ten women and one
youth. In all cases he admits having
courted the women without their know
ing ne was married, but he denies kill
ing any of them.
Landru has been asked about the dis
appearance of the widow of Cuchet and
her son, and also Nine. Labord. The
latter, witnesses said, dropped out of
sight in 1915 after she had been en-
gagged to Landru and forced to live
with him at villa in Vernouillet. The
state to-day proved that Landru subse-
quently had disposed of Nine. Labord's
effects, but he explained she had left
him and he had not seen her since. HI
insisted he was furniture dealer and
not murderer.
The only hint at motive for the
supposed crimes came in the testimony
