FEBKUA llY 7. 1899 "BETTER THAN WHEAT" Official statistics of the sugar pro duction of Germany for the crop year of 1897-1898, Lave been pub , lished. They are very suggestive in the line of profit to the American beet-sugar industry, showing as they do that as long as our sugar duties remain operative, as at present, the cultivation of the beet sugar ought to be very profitable to American farm ers'. Manifestly, in Germany, a very large quantity of sugar' is obtained from the beets raised on a compara tively small area of land. In the crop year covered by the returns, as published in Willett fe Gray's sugar trade journal, there were 1,080,256 acres under sugar beets in Germany, and the "beets worked" aggregated 13,697,891 tons. The average yield, - according to the official table, was ; 12 22 tons per acre. There were evidently some deductions made, as - the average really figures out some thing more than this. The sugar production, based dn raw sugar, is given at 1,844,399 tons, and it is stated that the yield averages 3763 pounds of sugar per acre. These figures can be better under stood by comparison. In the United States the sugar factories pay be tween $4 and $4.50 per ton for sugar beets. Reckoned at these rates and putting the yield at 12.22 tons per acre the beet farmer would obtain between $49 and $55 for the sugar beets raised on art acre of land, or 1 more than four times as much as the average value per acre obtained by the wheat farmer for the product of their fields in 1897, when conditions favored an unusually profitable mar- feet. It may be said that beet culture has been reduced to a science in Ger many. Relative limited area In that cou ntry, together with the fact that women and children work afield, in duces intensive agriculture in a de gree of which the great "West, at least, of our own country knows noth j ing. The possibilities in this line, the probabilities, indeed, as shown by the figures presented, lead to the be lief that in due time the sugar-beet industry of the country may outclass the wheal industry in profit, and the old term "better than wheat" find verification in the experience of the beet farmer. Oregonian. The Salt Lake Tribune is probably wrong in its assertion that the oppo sition lo expansion is a sectional prejudice, based on the East's jealousy of the West. Most of the friends of apnexation are in the West and most of its enemies in the East, but the East's hostility to it is not quite as great as is commonly supposed. Even Hew England, which was supposed to be solidly opposed to expansion, has many advocates of this policy. In this particular Senators Lodge and Frye are a fair offset to Senators Hoar and Hale. The vast majority of the people of the East as well as of the West are expansionists. There is no sectional line on .this issue. The increased trade which the annexation of the Philippines will bring will not all go to the West. The whole coun try will share in it, as it will share in the power and prestige which expanT sion will confer on the nation. It was a graceful act by Senator elect Foster, of Washington, in pre paring for his banquet at Tacoma on Tuesday, to invite all members of the legislature thosewho opposed him, both within and without his jrarty, as well as the friends who car ried his banner to victory r The act was indicative of the breadib of the host, and will do much to re-establish a cordial feeling among all the mem bers of the legislature, and also among the .defeated candidates and their managers. It has been a mat- ter of common observation at Olym pia that Mr. Foster conducted his senatorial campaign with a remark ably slight expenditure of money. It seems that he has preferred to do his entertaining after the contest was over. This is an admirable example, and all the more commendable by reason that Mr. Foster is a man of independent fortune. The attempt to make radical changes in the complexion and style of the American flag will not be suc cessful. ' The people are willing that new territory should be added to the country and new plans of govern ment devised, but "Old Glory" ad mits ofno improvement.
