BEfT CROP
F, S. Bramwell, General ' Manage'
of the Amalgamated Sugar Company,
returned from Union last night, where
he had been attending business for
the company. H states that the su
gar beets there were considerably
damaged from the water flooding the
beet fields but that the water ia be
ing drained off. The prospects in the
Union 'district for a beet crop wert
never more promising. The farmers
were never bo well up with-, their
work at this season of the year.' He
also Btates that they will raise 100,
Q09 bushels pf wheat In the Union dls
trlot on land that formerly grew su
gar beets. The only thing that will
retard this enormous yield Is that tho
wheat will grow so rank that it will
topple over before harvesting .time.
This eliminates the prevalent Idea
that sugar beets will destroy the land
for small grain.
