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?"
