SATURCAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1908. SUGAR BEET GROWING. It was state 1 by one of the repre sentatives of th3 Ama'gamated Su gar company, who were in the val l:;y this weak, that the Harriman system considered eai.'h new family settled along l's lines worth $75 a year in basineis tj the railroad. To the conmunity where that family of workers raslde, t':e value Is several times $75, Rich land, like In thl3 valley, with water and to spare, should bo sup porting fivp or six faal'.ies to the quarter sostio.i Instead of one. In reality ths amount of land tilled or allowed to lie Idle In this valley at present, average i nearer a half than a quarter section to the family. The change can only be brought about by Intensive farming of some sort, a id If growing of sugar beats will bring about the change, then let us go In for sugar beets. The change wll not be brought abojt unless It would be profitable, and .It follows that when the land Is furnishing employment to tens where one Is employed now. the gross Income rer acre will be pro portionately lncr:aaei. The unprofitable experience with sugar btets of farmers In parts of the Grande Ronde valley was due to using cropped out land and the lack of water. There Is no fear on the latter s.ore In this valley, and the other rests wl'h the producer. The officers of the sugar factories say the Wallowa valley Is Ideal for sugar beots, and It Is certainly not to their lntere.it t3 misrepresent the matter. They have talked In very moderate terms, have held out no bauble of sudden riches, or even good returns without great labor. They have made what Beema to be a fair, even liberal proposition In price Some of the leading farmers of the valley are Interested and we hope the new Industry will be given a fair test tills coming Beaton, A NEW POEM BY MARKHAM. Edward Marknian, who made a world-wide reputation a few years ago with his poom, "The Man With the Moa," haa written for the Christ mas Woman's Home Companion a poem that la considered to be even greater than "The Man With the Hoe." Many who have read Mark- ham's now poem, "Before the tios pels Wore," consider It the great est verse of reoeat years. "Before the (Scapula Were" tolls, with won derful poetic imagination, the story of the gathering together of the ma terials for the (Sospels by ChrlsfB dlaclplos after 11U ascension. Never before haa (here been presented so lllunilna'lng a pic ture of what Christ's life meant to his disciples and why It was so accurately reflected In theli gospels. The opening verse of the poem is: hong noons and evenings after He waa gone. Alary the mother, Matthew, Luke and John, And all those who loved Him to the last. Went over all the marvel of the past Went over all the old familiar ways With tender talk of dear remember ed days. They walked the roada that never gave lllm rest Past Jordan's ford, past Kedron's bridge. Up Olivet, up Harmon's Ridge, ro that last road, the one they loved the best. The climax of fte poem is reached n the last verse, which sums up all he thoughts that have been ex pressed in the preceding lines: 3o huddling oftan by the chimney blaze, Dr going down the old remembered ways Dn many a lingering walk. They held their wonder-talk, Winding each other of some sacred spot, Winding each other of a word forgot; So gathering up till all the whispered words vVent to the four winds like a flight of birds! Where The Money Comes From. From Goodwin's Weekly. There Is something uncanny about he ease with which the Utah coun ;y farmer can produce coin from an jmpty sock. Talk abo it uncle Jesse Knight being a wl'.ard! Why, those have him nailed U the mast in the wizzing busl.ieis. The collective Du blin s ick was first emptied when ;'o:oiauo Mining dropped from $8. It .as emptied again by the drop of rown Point. The episode of the Sioux Consolidated left the sock .vrong side out, yet when Iron Blos som began to be touted, Mr. Beet Grower took the stocking from undei the granary and, lo! Its contents had been mysteriously renewed! The magic coin was poured Into Iron Blossom. Yet by the time Crown Point was recommended as a buy, the agricultural hosiery was again ready to give forth Its stream of fairy gold. Either farming In Utah county is a mane'ously lucrative oc cupation or the Utah county farmer Is the gamest of the gamesters when he once breaks Into' the mining stock game perhaps we will know which after Prasldent Roosevelt's commission flnd3 the . answer to: "Why is a farmer?" Splendid Progress Of Bartlett Schools Superintendent Conley On Round of Visits Clarkston Editor May Invest. Bartlett, Nov. 20. J. C.
