Sugar Beet Gets
Benefits of Act
Federal Farm Board Extends Mar
keting Benefits to Another
Product.

Washington, July 23-The bene-
fits of the agricultural marketing
act may now be extended to sugar
beet and sugar cane growers under
an announcement of the federal
farm board today tnat these pro-
ducts had been designated as COM
modities within the act.
Invitations have been sent to re-
representatives. in the 10 sugar beet
producing states to meet in Greedy,
Colorado, August 2, for the purpose
of developing a national coopera-
tive marketing program.
Selection of representatives to
the meeting will be made by the
organized cooperative in the sugar
beet producing regions. The action
taken by the board is an outgrowth
of the meeting held in Colorado in
June, when farm board representa-
tives conferred with growers repre-
senting virtually IS per cent of the
sugar beet acreage of the country.
The 1929 value of the sugar beet
crop was approximately $4,000, 900.
It was explained at the farm
board that sugar cane producers
are not now generally organized,
into cooperatives. Representatives
of the industry however, it was
added, will be called in to confer on
any steps taken to deal with the
commodity. ....

farmers. The hope for agriculture
according to Mr.. Kelehan is in the
boys and girls who are getting agri-
cultural training through the
County Agents and agricultural
schools. With these boys and girls
will come united agriculture.
The visit to the experimental
plots emphasized the value of
systematic system of crop rotation,
the value of high producing, di-
sease resistant varieties of grain
and manure and acid phosphate
fertilizers. The three systematic
crop rotation which have been in
production at the West Central
Station for fifteen years show
production of 41.S9 bushels of corn,
22.8 bushels of wheat, 55.42 bushels
of oats, and 2.15 tons of clover per
acre where no fertilizer of any
kind had been applied for at least
fifteen years. This emphasizes the
Importance of a systematic crop
ping system. The production of the
same rotation showed a very mark
ed increase with the use of either
manure or acid phosphate. The
oats, wheat and flax varieties
showing resistance to rust and
other diseases, together with high
yielding qualities, emphasized the
Importance of the plot breeding
work in developing new and better
varieties.
At the conclusion of the speaking
program, Mr.. Fenske, instructor in
Agronomy at the West Central
School gave demonstration on
weed control by the use of sodium
chlorate and also a demonstration
on the eradication of gophers by
poisoning.

HOME BREW SUPPLY

Andrew j. VOlstead, Father of Dry

Monday

st. Paul, Mimi, July 21-The
grocer and druggist who handle
homebrew supplies are just as
guilty in the eyes of the law as the
exclusive dealer, Andrew ]. Vol
stead, dry law father, said today as
hundreds of merchants besieged the
dry office for ruling on the mat
ter.
Meanwhile, M. L. Harvey, north
west dry chief, and L. L. Drill, u.
S. district attorney, continued to
maintain silence on the subject.
All requests for elaboration of
the departments ruling that all
dealers in homebrew supplies would
be prosecuted were ignored.
When dealers asked Harvey if
such supplies carried on their
shelves were in violation of the
law, he said there are plenty Of
good attorneys to advise you. The
law forbids the sale of such equip
ment and the law must stand"
Drill said he obviously would have
to refuse to comment on cases
pending"

Florid Epitaph Common
in Revolutionary Days

"stop Passenger" begins an cpl
taph, dated 1871, on a stone In a
cemetery in Elizabeth, N. j., "here
lie the remains Of woman who
exhibited to the world a bright con-
stellation of the female virtues. On
that memorable day, never to be
forgotten, when q British foe in
vaded this fair village and fired
even the temple Of the Deity, this
peaceful daughter Of Heaven re-
tired to her hallowed apartment,
imploring Heaven for the pardon Of
her enemies. In that sacred mo-
ment she was by the bloody hand
Of British ruffian dispatched like
her Divine Redeemsr through .
path Of blood to her long wished-for
native SKIES" There were few
brief epitaphs In those early days.
It was apparently regarded as a
lack Of reverence to fail to emu
merate the virtues Of the departed,
and as a disregard Of opportunity to
fail to warn "the passengers" Of
what was in store for them.

Once Famous Port

both in regard to new building and
repairs. How the town came by its
name has some interest. Really the
name is plural, and derives from
the two "cowes" or circular forts,
which Henry VIII erected to guard
the entrance to Portsmouth harbor.
One fort Is now the headquarters Of
the Royal Yacht squadron.
