had observed at times, that it wa
very unpopular to advise people t.
raise beets. Last spring they ha(
said with considerable assurance
ITO HI with sugar beets; 1 car
make more on potatoes" And they
had gone on and raised potatoes an(
arrived where most of us are. He
had heard a great deal said about
the bad odor of pulp, and he had
| himself said at times he didn't care
II he never smelled it again. But
not long ago he was cumming a ride
from Lilcoln to Idaho Falls and rode
d while on farmers wagon, on g
beet rack that had been loaded with
pulp and 1t smelled pretty good. The
farmer apologized for not giving him
more agreeable place to ride, but
II replied" said Mr.. Just, that 1t
was good enough for me, and good
enough for lots of other people, and
I was really quite glad to get a
lung-full of it again.
Mr.. Just went on to say that last
fall some of the farmers had held
meetings and agreed not to sell hay
for less than SIS ton, and they had
kept that pledge. 1t had really been
no trouble at all to keep such a
pledge, for nobody had ever offered
them anything of the kind, and they
still have the hay and are likely to
keep it. That attitude and the lack
of pulp had driven most of the flocks
and herds out of the country, and
those that have fed stock have
shipped in corn from Nebraska to
to h L. 11rr
lost money on them.
Mr.. Just said that whenever he
had dropped in at the meetings of
the Commercial club he had been i'm
pressed with the sincerity of the con-
ferences there, and found that the
were always looking to the good of
the country at large and especially
the farmer, and yet he had heard
farmer people speak of the Com
club as always scheming for
the interest of the towns as against
the interests of the country people
the merchants getting up special
events to entertain or to benefit all,
and that some folks were unkind
enough to remark that it was just
a scheme to get people into town.
He had become sick and tired of that
kind of talk and that kind of
thoughts. He had even heard it ap-
piled to the sugar company in this
way, that if anyone advised favor
ably about growing sugar beets on
such lands as were suitable, some
body would respond by saying he |
was trying to get them into some
hing for the benefit of the sugar |
company. He said he wished to the |
Lord they had succeeded, and got a |
OF of US into something for the
benefit of the sugar company, and
hen there would have been more
money and less distress among us.
lie ended with a frank appeal to
armers and town people to get to-
ther less; he suggested that more
armers attend these meetings and
i've expression to their views and
earn more of the big generous spirit
hat marks the efforts Of the officers
nd members, and to forget and to
void the petty things of life, and
specially suspicious and mistrust.
