H. w. BunstOn, Hardin Attorney
and Beet Grower, Drives
Opening Wedge.

Dear Mr.. Editor:
Nearly twenty years ago the
management of the Holly Sugar
corporation became associated
with the influential and financial
interests of Sheridan, Wyo., and
secured their aid in the con-
struction of sugar factory
there. It was then called tn e
Sheridan Sugar Company in hon.
or of the citizens investments
Later, it was absorbed by the
Holly Sugar Corporation.
Due to good salesmanship, the
Holly management was no doubt
convinced that the Sheridan
country would be a productive
beet territory. However, the fact
remains that in spite of all the
extra activity spent on it, the
Big Horn valley and its tribu-
taries produce probably seventy
five per cent of the beets con-
stunned there, and despite the fact
that low test beets are hauled
long distances from Nebraska.
Not only is that true, but the
Big Horn valley is capable Of
producing ten thousand acres,
yearly, without any further ir-
rigation projects. all accessible
to a graveled road and within
an average haul Of twelve and
one-half miles Of the factory.
Under the government factory al
lotment plan, the Sheridan plant
Is allowed a little under nine
thousand acres.
The principal objection to the
beet production program by Sec
rotary Wallace is the alleged ex-
cessive cost Of production as
compared with foreign production.
The growers countered his argu-
ment by calling attention to the
great amount Of hand labor and
our high standard of living
and costs. No doubt everything
is being done that can be done
to lower the cost of production,
both by the grower and the COM
pany. The growers have steadily
Tin spite Of the hauling of all
the beets out of the state and
having no feeding, rebuilding IA
cilities on our land, on account
of the distance from the factory.
and in spite Of a lower price than
paid by the Holly elsewhere and
by other companies in this state)

We are living in a changing
world today and homemakers and
club women need to keep up with
the changes. what Makes a
Home ?" I asked my little boy, and
this is what he said:
"You, Mother, and when Father
comes
Our table set all shiny.-and my
bed,
And Mother, I think it's Home
Because we love each other"
The new conception of a home
has been CURLY stated by Jessie
w. Harris of the University of
Tennessee as follows: Not board
ing house, but a place where
health Is built; not a rooming
house, but a place of beauty and
comfort; not a place for punish
ment of children for wrong doing,
but place where the stage is set
for right doing by all. Members
of the Home Makers Club of
Smyrna and vicinity held their
first meeting of the new year on

ord as favoring the plan, but made
it clear that it must not be a po-

also took the stand that in view of
SO many chimney fires, a new

in new buildings according to
proper regulation. At the turkey
