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.

wish lU i As -for -why you should
care, whether. Mrs. Harmon takes
her husband back or not. 'that is
extremely simple: Jusf at pres
ent she is planning to divorce
him. . If she does, yoq will be an
important witness in the, suit.- As
such a witness, you may be forced
to- tell a "great many things which
may not sound well1 pleasant,
to the man on the Ranff lot. They
might, in fact, make hhn extreme
ly jealous. 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. Or -lie, which If .some
times difficult, when a clever law
yer ; takes you in hand. ! Either
way, I f think ; you would be far
better off not to attempt It. , Do I
make myself quite; clear"- s i. I'
The flush of color which anger
had brought : to Jean Martin's
cheeks slowly' faded, leaving them
drained of blood: Her eyes were
no longer narrow, ' no w1 but wide
and staring.' -u' 7 -f "i i

"I'm not so sure of that. Sylvia
Thome certainly wasn't. - And
when she goes on the stand she
will say" so. i Just what Sydney
will say I don't know. He may
deny everything, Just as you ex
pect him to do. 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

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." Evidently Mr.

to granting the license. . ,t v? , ;
Growers will alsd benefit by the

When it is in effect, stored agri

into suitable collateral -for financ

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

to result In easier money for
