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. During a business
career approaching half a century in
time rerry's seeds have won an annual
increase in popularity, which ia.per-
naps.tne nest eviaence mat liioy grow
and give satisfaction. Ferry's Seed
Annual for 1001 is a useful guide in se
lecting seeds for the farm, the truck

: SUGAR. BEET CULTURE.
Nebraska Farm ere Are Making the Crop
' Fay Fairly Well.
- 'The live question among farmers now
is .what can be done to make funning
p-y? It sugar beet growing: pays In
Nebrakka niny it uut be made profitable
In other graln-prow-lng statcH'.'; It iu
on inicroHting question... vt nau then,
are they doing in that state that is
takitng- the lead In this industry? 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. In the last-named country the In
