Sugar Beets Prov
ing Profitable in
Hereford Vicinity


Hereford, Texas, Dec. o. Just
what sugar beets will do In The shall
lowater portions Of the Plains coun-
try, says the West Texas Chamber Of
Commerce, has again been demon
strated at Hereford this year by ID.
l.. Mcdonald.
Mr.. Mcdonald planted one and
seyen-eighths acres of sugar beets
on this irrigated farm, three miles
north Of Hereford In October he
harvested thirty tons Of fine beets
from this acreage. Samples were
sent to the chemist refinery at John
stown, Colo, who reports that the
sugar content was fourteen and a
half per cent. He expressed it as
his opinion that this content was
higher than the general average of
Colorado sugar beets.
Mr.. Mcdonald gives some inter
esting facts regarding this expert
ment. About half the patch of
ground used was old alfalfa ground
and this ground produced much bet
ter beets and more Of them than the
remainder of the plot. This, con
vinces Mr.. Mcdonald that alfalfa in
connection with other experiments,
and is the thing to use for any follow
crop, as the alfalfa enriches the soil
and makes it more productive. He
has Just finished blowing up some
more land which has been in alfalfa
for the past eight years. The beets
raised this year were irrigated three
times and turned out TO be good size
and good type. They viii be fed to
cattle this winter.

Agricultural Review

established semi-weekly market at
the city market, and during the whole
winter, while prices were high and
buying poor, much produce was hand

sumner, eliminating the middleman's
profit. The vegetable section of this
market is still running. While buy

When the price of flour and other

Baton Rouge.

Baton Rouge.
About the middle of October 1920,
marked the arrival of the new street
cars that had been ordered by the Bat
on Rouge Gas and Electric Co. The
city officials, committee from the
Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs, the Cham
Der of Commerce and the entire men,
bership of the Housewives League
were invited to ride in the new cars
on their initial trip over the city on
tour in inspection. After inspect
ing the gas plant with its new mod
ern equipment, and the power plant of
which we were justly proud, we were
taken to the Istrouma Hotel for
lunch. Naturally the League members
were pleased with this attention, and
when Mr., Small, in neat little speech
called attention to the fact that no
other organization of women in Baton
/ Rouge had been recognized in quite
the same way, we were naturally sat-
listed with ourselves. 1t would be
hard to exactly describe our feelings
when the next days paper carried the
announcement Of proposed increase
+ in the gas rates to take effect i'm
mediately. The following day the pa
pers announced a called meeting OF
| the League to consider this increase.
It was the third raise in as many
years, they having raised the rate
since our controversy, from $1.40 to
is1.S5, but that was during the pres
sure of the war. The company's last
increase was flat fifty cents bring
ing the price of cooking gas up to
1885 per thousand feet. A commit
tee from the League went before the
Fair Price Commission and filed a
complaint against this proposed in
crease. As result Of this complaint,
an operative from the Department of
Justice, and a Public Accountant
made thorough audit of the books
of the Gas Co. The investigation
proved that while there was no pro-
fiteering, the plant was obsolete and
was without sufficient storage facili-
ties.

all of our truckers away. In July
and August 1917, we canned all the
surplus vegetables left after the curb
market hours, for the truckers who
desired us to do so. The work was
done on a small hot water Gamer in
the back yard Of one of our members.
We canned nearly five hundred cans
of Vegetables that would have been
wasted except for our efforts. We
furnished all material except vege-
tables; did all the work and the truck
ers received half of the canned pro-
ducts. After selling enough to re-im-
burse the League for cans, ETC., two
hundred and fifty one cans Of vege-
tables, such as corn, butter, beans, egg
plant, tomatoes and okra were given
to the Organized Charities.
Our most important work in 1919
was the selling of five carlods Of gov
eminent food and clothing from the
U. S. Army store in New Orleans. In
handling these supplies we assumed
the responsibility Of more than $780,
900 worth Of goods. The handling Of
these goods was a tremendous under
taking, but was successfully carried
through by the faithful work of our
members. We felt we had reached the
peak of craftsmanship when we sold
three hundred wooden blankents in less
than two hours with the thermometer
registering about 81 in the shade. On
part Of the food we handled the gov
eminent allowed small percentage
for handling. BY doing the work our
selves, hiring only the heavy part done
we were able to secure a neat sum for
our treasury.
Around the beginning Of 1920, the
League realized the need Of an up
to-date hospital for Baton Rouge.
We agitated the matter and succeeded
in interesting many Of our business
men and substantial citizens in the
As there was an organiza-
ton in the city who claimed this work,

all indications, Baton Rouge will
eventually have an up-to-date hos
pital.

IStlll at work.
Early in the spring drive for funds
to carry on the third annual fight
against the mosquito was brought to
our attention. Letters sent by the
League to the various organizations
in Baton Rouge, resulted in a mos
quito campaign committee being
formed, and the necessary funds for
this work was raised and the work is
now we'll under way.
For some time past several of the
Baton Rouge Clubs have realized the
necessity for a club house which could
be used as civic center. While the
Community Club was under construc-
ltion, the Housewives League had a
committee go before the management
of the Community Club to ascertain if
it could be arranged to have an extra
room built in the Community Club
House, which could be used for this
purpose, but as all plans had been
drawn, this was not deemed advisable
by the management Of the Community
Club. The League then set aside a
certain portion of their treasury and
appointed a permanent committee to
work on this need. After the organ
ization of the City Association of
Clubs, this matter was brought up be-
fore the Association, and as the COM
mittee from the Housewives League
had found building ar the corner
of East Boulevard and Louisiana Ave-
nue. which would answer the purpose,
the report from the League was &C.
copied by the City Association OF
Clubs, and it was voted to buy this
building. The Housewives League

The Housewives League
An Organization That Has Performed
Wonders in the Way of Reducing
Exhorbitant Prices of Necessaries of
Life.

The Housewives League of Baton
Rouge, was organized December g.
1916, Mrs. Noise being the first presi-
dent. The object of the League is to
investigate and devise means to i'm
prove living conditions, and to reduce
the high cost of living" Our first
work was to encourage and educate all
housewives to insist on correct weights
and measures; to personally superin-
tend the marketing and not depend on
servants or the phone.
The thing that first brought US to
public notice was our fight with the
Gas Company. After a sweeping in
vestigation of conditions, conducted
by members Of our League, and tests
made by the head of our Chemistry
Department and his assistants at the
L. S. u, we found the gas being fur
nished in no way met the require
ments Of the standard heat unit. We
found also that the company was filing
reports at the Bureau of Standards,
at Washington, without the use Of a
calerimeter. We Immediately secured
the signatures of more than seven
hundred consumers of gas in Baton
Rouge, protesting to Stone & Webster
against the poor pressure of gas, poor
heating power and inadequate service.
We won our fight May 1, 1917. The
company agreed to enlarge their plant,
improve the mains and improve the
quality of the gas, bringing it up to
the proper heat unit. We also sue
ceeded in getting a 10 % reduction
in price from $3.50 to $1.4O, with a
sliding scale after the first 1000 feet
used thus benefting the housewives
rather than the large consumer.
Our next important work was the
establishment of a curb market,
which was started in the early spring
of 1917. It was huge success and
was kept up until the war took nearly !!

LECTURE AT OLIVET

Beside the morning hour of wor- ship, the special feature of the even ing will be a set of slides Illustrating "Cathedrals and Churches in Europe and America" There will be shown some of the great temples of the world, in Jerusalem, Athens, Farnak, Constantinople, Venice, St Peters Milan. These include the Gothic splendors, the Romanesque features, the Norman towers which were erect ed to give fitting expression of the reverent devotion of builders of past centuries. By the side of the Gothic stands the Colonial church developed in New England as the only other distinctive type of church architect ure. Churches should be as beautiful as the purse of the congregation can properly provide. The set of slides is loaned by the Congregational Church Building Society.
 The monthly meeting of the teach CTS and officers of the Church school is to come on Monday with the supper at 6:3O, followed by the business ses- sion at 7:45- The T. C. Club is to give a musical entertainment and so- cial on Tuesday evening for the bene- fit of the Holden Missionary Society. Candy, cream, the club orchestra are among the evenings features.
 The Olivet Mems League has ar ranged for an open meeting on Fri day evening at o'clock, open to ladies and men alike The speaker of the evening is to be Superintendent Slawson, who will speak on 'fThe Present Educational Situation in Our Country" It is hoped a large num- ber will take advantage of the oppor- tunity to learn about one of the most tnportant matters before us.
