part of the United States, thai
has missed part of its educa-
ton.
The housewives and cooks il
this region shy away from beet
sugar as if it were grasshoppel
poison.
1t is bitter, they say, and il
keeps the fruit juice from max.
ing jelly. 1t is refined with ar
acid-it is coarse.
That is honest to goodness
gossip about this good old beet
sugar, as is the saying that We
had no business starting such
an. industry when there was
plenty of cane.
Well, the industry started just
the same.
Beet sugar is cheaper at
Quincy, ILL.,, than it is here at
home.
1t is my honest and modest
opinion that if a group of smart,
Well-paid persons would present
the facts of the beet sugar in
dustry to the various civic ccr-
tiers, woman's clubs, ETC.. in the
East. it would be a paying prop
OSitiOn.
We would have no trouble
showing Mr. Wallace the way.
We wear Quincy, Chicago and
St. Louis shoes, whether they
fit or not. The new Billings
school is being built by a St.
Louis firm of architects. We buy
southern cotton whether the
thread is fine or coarse. We
grow and expand to the tune of
eastern finance. They even set
our styles. We drink their tea.
For Heavens sake let US pre-
sent a sensible. Saleable argyll
ment so they will use our sugar.
MI. Wallace will admire our
spunk.
Yours on the gallop,
Sage and Soil.
Dear Rhode Island Red.
I just somehow feel that it
is my duty to write you be-
cause it just seems mighty
hard to ever see you and have
an old fashioned chat with you
like we did in the horse and
buggy days" You know. when
we could stop as we met on
the road and have a real chat
without those pesky horns on
those gas buggys soaring our
horses. You know Red it Just
seems as though you're so pes
ky busy with that Internal beet
business, for the rest of the
boys, that you won't have much
time to farm for yourself.
Today I read that there is a
meeting in Billings attended by
all those interested in squeezing
the sugar out of the beets,
squeezing the price up, or the
labor doxn-Some three hun
dred of you and then there is
that wonderful philanthropic
organization known as the Su-
gar Section from Washington,
D. c., with some of its head
liners.
For instance, "R. B. Tayler of
the office of the Solicitor of
the Agricultural Department.
