August A v PRATER FOn WORKERS and a full reward be given thee -of SALEM SEWAGE AND The Statesman proposes to carry on a constructive cam paign for the proper disposal of the sewage and garbage of Salem. It will probably be a long campaign t.r . But, in the - name of decency, . economy and" common . sense, Salem must get out 'of the class of cities dumping their filth into the streams; a class that includes now about 80 per cent' of the American cities . ' : -',-''' -, '- . And there are worse conditions in most small towns; if . , worse conditions can be imagined , "t v; : And the garbage question here in Salem must -also, be . settled. .. .?iT t-yik - :V,:vv ,:..:v;-ji4i.-r---j. , statesman proposes to draft every! help available has begua by- drafting Cornelia Marvin,- state librarian, who ' either knows 1 everything or knows how everything Within : human knowledge can be found out;:vUi?yiit'-'Wf r'- tv. . : ; Let's start with Canton, Ohio. That is a city of 105,000 people now.; When it was much smaller, in 1893,' that city constructed -the first chemical precipitation plant west of the r Allegheny mountains for the disposal of it sewage, -and it ': ' was the largest city in the United States at 'that time to in , stall such a plant. The city outgrew the first plant, and a 1 second and larger one was begun in 1913;f urther away from the city limits eight miles south of the public square.- A sewer had to be built to the plants with a capacity of 18 mil n" ' lion gallons -af day. j (There is a separate sewer system for storm vi2&tt$-:-:f fC'- V ' ' ' ' , rfNow thai; city is rebuilding its second! plants , It is de signed for a population of 150,000. ... . j i' i ; l After the sewage is treated to rendrr .it innocuous, so that it will not give off of f ensive odors, part of it is pumped onta "400 acres of farming and gardening land belonging to - the city. , This is called "sludge." i Part lof the sludge is pumped further onto the land of farmers and gardeners; used for fertilizer. . Part of the sewage is dried and rendered into fertiliser that can be hauled away, and is bought and hauled ' away by the- farmers over a wide section.1 The new plant was completed early this summer; ; The city has opened and 4e , veloped a coal mine on its land, for use in 'making the needed : ' steam power. : -'r.-' . Why not make the sewage of Salem an asset instead of . an odorous, offensive nuisance? And the garbage, too? THE SUGAR INDUSTRIES SERIES A iriolo T R f TWs!rahlA Farm Cron '! ' Beet sugar is grown, not made. - It is taken-; from the water by the roots and from the air by the Jeaves of the beets. It is art annual crop ; a clean crop ; a rotation crop."'The farm er comes first in the beet sugar industry.! He furnishes the beets that contain the sugar, and the factory merely sepa rates the wheat front the straw and chaff :f1I -l - So beets make a good crop for any farm that! can pro duce them in sufficient tonnage and with a1 high enough su gar content to leave the grower a prof it. t . . : v Townsend Monell of the Western Slope 'Beet 4 Growers . association of Colorado last year gave for his association the cost per acre of raising beets as follows: plowing $3.95; level ing $.70; seed $3.02 planting $.94 ; cultivating $355: irrigat ing $3.57; handwork $22.00; plowing out 43.53; hauling $11. 08 ; rental of land and water $15.00; depreciation of stock and equipment $.uu; interest on scock ana equipmcunwYcauireui, $5.00; taxes on equipment $1.00; fertilization $10.00. 1 V -These costs total eighty-six dollars an acre.. The sugar beet grower is paid in direct proportion to the price of sugar C The processing of the beets in the United States in near ly, ail factories (excepting a few cooperatives) was up to a few years ago a 55-45 proposition; that is, the sugar secured belonged 55 per, cent to the factory, and .45 per cent to the grower. Now it is 50-50; half the sugar-belongs to the fac tory and half to the grower, and they share the selling- cost. The Salem district lands ought to yield 4000 pounds of sugar to the acre as a minimum. At 6 cents, that -would be $120 for the farmer for his 2000 pounds.But the i farmer-who produced around 20 percent sugar content beets, and around 30 tons to the acre as some farmers here .would produce, would of course get more than twice $120 ashis share , And he would get at least $6 a ton on his beets when de livered, and the balance as fast as Wj sugar marketed Bccta are a cash crop. And he would have first call on his tops, crowns, pulp and molasses for feeding -his wjcto-. .And all this makes for an industry, that derful one for our farmers, and for everyone else ..with any kind of a stake in our section. - ' " ' Over against this is the option of buying our sugar from '-CnbaY with the Cuban farmer growing cane; that hejplants only once and harvests from year to year ; for cane is not an annual crop, like geets. It is a crop that is grown by labor ers who are in conditions of virtual slavery. , . j -Beets get more sugar per acre from the.soirthan cane, too.; In Louisiana, where there is a cane sugar industry, the men inthaUine are experimenting, wittrjhe aid of theUm versitrof Louisiana, with sugar beets, with the idea of giving up cane altogether, partly because sugar beet growing is so much better for the farms and therefore for every one else; for the farmer is the foundation of all food crop industries, outside of the fisherman. . ' ' - j ', " - These things are . more or less r" citeratcd, because they will likely be used, soon, in making a campaign for the growr ing of sugar beets, for a factory to be located in Salem. 26 MILE SWIM PLANNED LLXE.UAX TO ATTE3IPT SAXTA XTXZ CHANNEL SANTA BARBARA, Aug. 20.

But if I can set hold of Sydney, get his wife to take him back,' there won't be :any di vorce, and you won't hare , to go on the witness stand and tell any secrets.

And then again he may not. He may not be. in loVe with you now- If you can call w hat he felt for you love. And when he finds out- as t promise you he will -that you have taken up with another man, I frankly don't see any reason why he should try to protect you. , It j was one thing when he thought you cared for him, and quite another, bow. But all that is beside the point. 11 syaney is tnrougn witn you, and ready to go home and behave himself, I think I can get his wife to forget about the divorce. I can't tell that until I see him. And I can't see him until I find out where, he is. If you know. you had better tell me: It may save you a great deal of trouble." Jean Martin's hands dropped at her Bides. - She : knew she , was beaten. With a snarl or anger she went to a writing desk at the side of the room, extracted . a letter from one of jits drawers. it "Here," she said, thrusting the missive into Marion's outstretched hands. "That's the last : I've heard from him. k You can keep it,' for all 'I ,care. .' And if you, see him, tell him not to write me any more. I'm through. - j . ; - j 4;. The letter was postmarked "San Francisco." ; Marion read it hast ily. In a. few rather ; bitter lines Mr.-Harmon wanted to. know why Jean had not written to him, and asked when she would be ready to join him. ' There was some vague reference to a trip to Japan. The address was-that of a small fam ily hotel, , and beneath : the signa ture. "Syd," was written the name "Samuel Harper."

Fruit company's application for a license under the new United States ware? house law. The lawwhicb has only recently been passed, is con sidered a big step forward by C. F. Huffman, federal warehouse examiner, who audited : the com pany's accounts as -a preliminary to granting the license. . ,t v? , ; Growers will alsd benefit by the new law, Mr. ' Huffman believes. When it is in effect, stored agri cultural goods can be, converted into suitable collateral -for financ ing purposes. Dumping of crops at harvest time would therefore be unnecessary. ; . t l Growers will begin to use the licensing facilities more and more, according to Mr. Huffman, as they learn, of the advantages to be gained. If generally adopted, li censing of warehouses is expected to result In easier money for farmers at critical periods. O I o o t o Bits Fox Hreakf at " Let's get and stay busy .
