SUGAR BEET INDUSTRY GROWN
IN WISCONSIN

Wisconsin will raise more of its
own sugar.
According to A. H. Wright, crops
man of the College of Agriculture
here, indications point to a consider
ably larger acreage of sugar beets
this spring That this should be a
profitable undertaking, is seen in the
fact that sugar beets have become
one of Wisconsins important CASH
crops.
From the Wisconsin sugar beet crop
of 1924 there were manufactured 81
million pounds of sugar-a ton of sug
ar for each acre of beets. During the
same period, however, it is estimated
that Wisconsin people consumed 100
pounds for each person or total of
approximately 275 million pounds
The states consumption is, therefore
eight times as much as it's production
Wisconsin began the commercial
production of sugar beets 20 years
ago. Every year since there, has been
substantial acreage. More than 25,-
900 acres were grown in 1911 and in
1912; the smallest area devoted to
beets was in 1916 when only 1000
acres were grown. During the last
two years, 1923 and 1924 the acreage
was approximately 10000.
Sugar beets is one of Wisconsin s
important cash crops and has greatly
assisted in maintaining a well-balanc7
ed and diversified agriculture, !"
Wright declares. The average acre
yield in Wisconsin has been from 8
to TONS The 1924 season was unfav-
orable and the average yield was a
little less than tons to the acre. On
good soil, with suitable preparation
and cultivation, yields Of from 15 to
IS tons are not uncommon.
Over 80 per cent of the beets pro-
duced in Wisconsin are grown in the
lake shore region, extending from
Green Bay south to the Illinois line.
The leading counties are Brown, Cal
umet, Fond du Lac, Outagamie, and
Kenosha. The counties of Milwaukee
Kewaunee, Racine, Ozaukee, Winnie
bago, and Oconto are also important
sugar beet producers.
There are six beet sugar factories
in the state in addition the factory at
Menominee, Michigan obtains its
beets from Wisconsin. Of these seven
factories, six operated during the fal
and winter of 1924. The factory at
Madison did not operate The other
Wisconsin factories are located at
Chippewa Falls, Green Bay, Menomi-
nee Falls, and GAINESVILLE.

Thinks Cameras Eye
Will Be Aid in War

Washington is generally known
that a properly manipulated camera
can bring out objects and aspects
that defy detection by the naked eye.
That power of the camera is being
greatly extended by experimental
work now undertaken jointly by the
bureau of standards and the War de-
partment's section Of aviation.
Some of the results are considered
military secrets, but it is more than
possible that in the next war smoke
screens are not likely to be com
plete protection for advancing troops
or moving vessels at sea. The cam
era's eye can be given some uncanny
powers of piercing obscurity of that
kind.
Already, the experimental cameras
obtain good results in taking pictures
of objects concealed by water vapor
that constitutes natural fog and cloud
bank 1t is likely that the powers,
now barely developed, can be carried
a good deal further. DR.. G. K. Bur
CESS, director of the bureau, believes
the secret Of increased visibility for
the camera lies largely in the photo
graphic emissions that control the
character of the sensitive plate and
it's development Some of the discov-
cries in connection with the research
probably will be made public.

BUT HE WON 7 SAY "wHEN"

That period is short and she takes a
chance if she gives it to man who
may grow tired of her before he is
in position to marry.
Whether or no a mans love increas
es or decreases with the knowledge
that a girl loves him, depends entire
" on the man. A vain man is flattered
by the knowledge that a girl loves
him. He has such a lot of respect and
admiration for her superior taste and
her excellent judgement that he mar
ries her Other girls have saved the
day with tears when the, man of her
choice tried to break away from her
He sympathized with her SO deeply
for losing such fine man that it was
more than he could stand, so he mar
ried her
Most men, however, prefer to do the
counting. / have a great deal of faith
in the Indifferent treatment. AS soon
as the average man finds that he is
being pursued, rather than pursuing,
he loses interest 1t requires a great
deal of tact to handle the sex that
has never lost the hunter instinct. If
she is wise the girl will not ask when
he is going to see her again, if she
wants to keep his interest
Of course, the role of Indifference
should not be carried too far. 1t must
not be obvious or played blatantly,
because there is lot of competition
about these days.
AS your young man doesn't seem
in any particular hurry about naming
a wedding date, | should think the
best thing for you to do is to try the
Indifference role, and along with it,
try going out with other boys. If it is
a question as to whether or not he
could support wife, and he were
really anxious to get married, he
would insist that his sisters find po-
sitions and support themselves. If he
really cares for you, and wants to mar
ry you,> he will very quickly decide
what he is going to do when he thinks
he is going to lose you. You have al
ready given him two years of your
life, and if he doesn't intend to get
married, now is the time to break.

FIRE PREVENTION INSURANCE
RATING

From an excellent editorial on this
subject III Safeguarding Arkansas
against Fire., we take the following
pertinent observations:
Fire prevention work and fire in
surance rating are one and INSOFAR
able. Rating is the scientific meas
urement of the fire hazards and so is
really fire prevention. The rater
points out the weak points in con
.ructian and various fire hazards in
md around the property, and shows
the owner how these hazards can be
rernedied and conditions removed, for
which charges are made in his rate.
It may be possible and very prob
able. that two adjoining buildings OF
like character construction and oc-
cupancy, are given an entirely differ
ent rating. one much higher than the
other. The occupant is responsible for
this. AS an illustration: In one in
stance, the premises are kept perfect
ly clean, the housekeeping the best,
no inflamable liquids on the premises
carefulness and fire prevention fix
ed and enforced rule of the concern.
In the other case, the building is un-
tidy trash swept and left in the cor
ners. Easements, closets, yard and
elsewhere, boxes and crates every
where, to keep the premises clean,
inflamable liquids kept in leaky or
unapproved containers, careless indif
ference as to fire hadards apparent
throughout the building, no. fire ex-
tinguishing apparatus of any kind.
While the external appearance of the
two buildings may be the same, the
fire hazards and chances for fires
are not the same, and the rater must
measure and charge for such hazards
Trash on the premises means q
charge in the rate, and justly so. In,
flamable liquids on the premises must
be penalized, as must other conditions
likely to cause fire, if a safe insurance
business 10 " bC' SOiiuuOIOu'
It should be apparent to the owners
and occupants of buildings that they
have as much or more to do with
rate making, and their insurance cost
than has anyone else, and that at all
times fire prevention and rate making
go hand in hand.
Why not have your rating bureau
give YOU rate "make-up-sheet" on
your premises? With this at hand, you
can then proceed to eliminate condi,
tions responsible for the charges and
PENALTIES in your. rate, and SO les
sen tbe chances of a disastrous fire,
and with it, interruption of business.
If is RI YOUR financial interest to do
this.
Tn the final analysis, the public
pays the fire loss, and the cost of
conducting the insurance business an
making of rates, also the cost of ex-
tinguishing fires, and it is certainly
much better and cheaper to eliminate
fire causes and to practice fire pre-
vention at all times, than to keep on
having high rates because of hazards
easily corrected, and because of heavy
fire losses resulting therefrom.
