Nkw Youk, Doo. 17. A s poolal to the Times from Washington says : The territory until reoontly iu dispute botweon Brnisil and France and which has been decreed to belong to Brazil may shortly bo come an object : of a dispute , be tweeti Prance and the United States, should the Monroe Doctrine be violated. The territory lying south of Fronoh ' Guiana in . the State of Para, and containing 100,; 000 square miles, .was claimed by Brazil and France, and Switierlaud was made arbitrator. ., Her decision was In favor of Brazil. It is now reported that' some French finan oiers anticipating that the deoision would be favorable to France had already invested their capital in this territory. They are now, it is said, trying to engineer' a deal by which the Frenoh Government will buy this land from Brazil." ' The State Department has ab solutely no knowledge 6n the sub jeot. Its attention, however, has been called to the matter, and the attempt of the French capital 18(8 to secure government aid in getting their money baok will be watched ' with interest. There hardly any question, it is said at the department, thateuoh action would be a violation ot the Monroe Doo trine and would call forth a protest from the United States. . . Aa long as the claim was in its origiual form, France might havj maintained that she was simply rectifying her boundaries, and that the United States cannot object to that. Even in that oase a replica tion of boundaries which involved an area of 100,000 "square miles would be . closely scrutinized France has, however, forfeited the right to make that claim by sub mitting the matter, to arbitration by Switzerland.' 'The terrrtory has been officially decreed by the Swiss tribunal to be outside the bound ariee of French Guiana. Seeds that 5urely Qrow, The cost of seeds compared with the vaiue oi tne crop is so small that a few cents saved by buying second rate seeds will amount to many dollars lost when the harvest is gathered. Farmers have found out by many costly failures wbat a risky thing it is to buy seeds without being pretty sure that tboy are reuacie ana irue to name. The latest catalogue of the seed bouse of D. M Ferry It Co., of Detroit, Mich.,. Is a re minder that thousands of farmers in the United States and Canada have pinned their faith to the reputation of this great firm.

The season Is so' far advanced that n, prerfty close estimate of the bvct-stignr prod uct may be made, and the output of the great Ojtnnrd fnotorhrs is expect- til to reach a total of 13,000,000 pouuds rom 75,000 tons of lx-et. This is nl-otit twice as large a field as that of 1805, nrd nearly three timed ns great as that of 1894. At the same time the number of farmers who have cultivated beet has increased with like -rapidity . In 1K04 only about 500, and In 18U5, 1,300 engaged, in the business, but tiio pres ent year'the number reached about 2,000. The overage y ield lias been aboilt 11 toils of beets to the acre, and the price per ton has raiigcd from four to Bcien dollars. The latter figure was paid for bcirtfl that contained the re markably high percent, of 20; the lower price woh given for those tliflt grniled only 12 perr cent, of sugar. The amounts received by the g'rowers ranged from $44 to $77 per acre. Theaverngeamount of beets grown by each farmer was only about 37 tons, showing that les? than four acres were plnntctl, on the average. Hut the profit from this small area was from $150 to $200 more, prob ably, than that derived from all the re-. mnindcr of the farm; ' ' It is an Interesting' fact that in all the forelg-n Bugiir-bcefc growing eoun trie lnc.litdlng France, Uormuny and Itussia, this iliduntry Is steadily Increns- tag.
