HOLLY SUGAR MOVIE
SHOW HUGE SUCCESS

They promised larger seating ca
pacity for the 1886 show.
George Morrison of Sheridan,
Wyo., agricultural manager for
this territory, vas present and
gave some very forcible suggest
ions to back up the speaker of the
evening, Lee Van Derlinden Of
Chicago, who presented the pic
lures.
MI. Morrison said: Many farm
ers feel that phosphate is not
needed If manure is used, but this
is absolutely wrong, as our ex-
perience in 1884 operations has so
emphatically shown u.s." He read
from his annual report for 1894
some highly interesting figures:
"Total acreage harvested, 9,275;
total tonnage delivered to plant,
$4,000; average tonnage grown per
acre, 10A tons.
But" he added, "here is the
significant point our fieldmen ana
our growers must consider. The
unphosphated an d unmanured
acreage produced an average of
but 81 tons per acre
"The MANFRED, but un-phos-
phated acreage produced an aver
age tonnage of 9K tons per acre.
THE phosphated, but unma-
nured acreage produced an aver
age tonnage of 1912 tons per
acre-over 2 tons more. per acre.

phated acreage produced.

combination. produced 11R tons of
beets OF high sugar content from
each acre ION the averaged. which

plea. that everyone use this Ana

all crops, and especially, in addi-

Messrs Cool and Smaller explain

Legion Aux. Planning
Annual Poppy Sale

Arrangements are now being
made for the annual poppy sale
which will be held the last Of next
month, sponsored by the local
group Of the American Legion
Auxiliary, according to Mrs. Don
Thompson, poppy chairman, who
states that the slogan this year Is
"Over the top with the Poppy
Line" The expression "over the
top" revives a sentiment, which
was, half a generation ago, signifi-
cant of going forward, no matter
what laid ahead. Our soldiers went
hor efully and fearlessly into un-
chartered seas. Our Poppy is the
Specification of a memorial. The
'.ribute paid to our sacred dead by
the rehabilitation Of their disabled
comraaes and the cases of their
orphaned children is greater than
aay monument Of cold stone, no
matter how lovely tae design. BY
buying the poppy a very welcome
he ping hand is extended to those
who are still fighting battle; the
bAttle back to health and a normal
life. Every poppy you buy helps
some one in need. The local group
has HOO peoples ordered for the
sale.
