NOW is the time to PREPARE. A L McCauIvy, Principal ilTATE SUGAR BEET FACTORY HERE EXPERIMENTS PROVE, WALLOWA BETTER THAN UNION FOR RAISING BEETS. The past two years have evidently established the fact that sugar beets can be successfully grown iw this vi cinity and many other parts of the county. Comparisons wlththe yields in this county and Union county are decidedly in favor of Wallowa coun ty. It is statedi on good authority that there will be several hundred '.cre3 of land to this valley thisi year hat will produce, as much aa 25 tans o the acre. The comparisons- be tween the yields In the two coun- le3 also establishes the fact that; to be successfully grown beets must be .Raited. A few fields ini this coun y have not tunned out as well as anticipated but the sugar company idm'i i that they were unable to a for them as they should. Farmers are ev ideally becoming more and. more .interested in the culture, of bea'si and tt is hoped hat this interest will Increase un- It Is possible for the sugar com pany to secure sufficient guarantees Jf acreage to warrant ithe erection if a factory to this, county. While .t is not 'known the exact acreage nd the nature of the contracts that .vould be required to guarantee the jrectlon. of a factory no doubt this :n formation will be forthcoming should the farmers or Commercial :lub ev'ince enough interest to make he Inquiry. In the past the farmers have been willing .to rent their ground for a entaln stipulated price per acre for he growling of beets, but few have lndertalkin, the raising of the crop in their own reiponsibllity. Ten lollars per acre rent has looked jettor to them than the prospect of i profit on beets at $4.50 per ton. Ouie farmer to discussing the mat ter last week said: "If the farmer could raise the beets and ride on horseback, the sugar company might induce them to take up the culture, but this back-breaking thinning, weeding and topping of beetsr by hand don't look good to many of us. Another thing that keeps, the farm ers from contracting to raise beets is that the idea bas gone forth that '.he sugar company should, be willing to pay more for them.. One of the viompcxiy officials made the state: in ant that a too. of beets will produce about 300 pounds of sugar. We do not know just what they seU the su gar for at wholesale but I suppose it Is around five cents per pound, thus giving the sugar company a gross return of $15 per ton. There is quite a difference between $4.50 and $15 a ton and we farmers think that some of the $15 should be a.dd'Od to the $4.50. I understand that in some other states the price of beets Ls considerable more than is paid here. Some places the price depends upon the per cent of sugar shown in the beds by analysis. If the Enterprise Commercial 'club would take up a campaign for the location of a factory in. this county I think It will find the task an easy one If they can Induce the sugar company to guarantee a better price tor the beets at the factory. "Of course la the field where 15 to 25 tons are raised to the acre .he showing of profit is highly sat isfactory, but we do not figure that dwchi bumper ti..,. ..ill always pre vail, and if they should theie no reason why we should not partici pate fun: her In the reputed "enor mous profits male by the refining company, If that report is correct." So far as can be learned there has been no definite action 'taken by either the Commercial club, the farmers or the ;gar company to encourage the buiKllng of a factory hi the valley. t.

Threshing machines, headem andi binders, are to be seed on every hand, and from all appear ances the crop will be taken are of much earlier thaa it was last year unteaa stopped by persistent rains," which doe not aoera probable at present. In add4.4oni to the harvest ing of the grain crops the second crop of alfalfa is beiing cut, which adds a double load to the farmer who happens to have both grain and hay.- Reports' from the hill country are to the effect that moit of the" all wheat i turning out well, and the spring grain better than was ex pected. Several farmers have made the statement that there will be a good' and strong half crop to the 1 III this year. On many of the Ir rigated ranches the yield has beoei curtailed by frfis-t. There is plen ty of straw but the heads are not well filled. The crop of rye l re ported to be heavier than last year and it is expected that much of It will be placed on the market as soon as it can be hauled to the ware houses. Grain dealers report that the prices have been about station ary for several days except ithat oats and barley have gradually de clined. This la accounted for in Portland by the offerlrg of Califor nia oats in ithat city an.i oats from the East in, Seattle.- Barley Is the lowea.:. down in the scale of quotations.- PUBLIC MEETING WELL ATTENDED REPRESENTATIVE MSN OF EN "i E?vf-RISE TALK "FAIR" IN A PROPER SPIRIT. Monday evening in the assembly ' com on the third floor of the court louse, every chailr and bench was occupied by rei resentative men of inverprise whomet .pursuant to &i A, to discuss the coming Fair.

President A. C. Miller of the Asso ciation explained the object of the neeting. He. staled that the pres ent Indication was that the Fifth jxliiblt would be a "humdinger" hough he didn't use that .word. He ;ald that from every letter recelv id thus far and from spoken inform ition received by hlra and by other nembers of the association, the tfhole county was up on the tiptoe it enthusiasm and expectancy, and :hat with good weather for the Fair the attendance promises to be Bxceptlonaly large; The matter of baiting care of all visitors .was taken up and discussed, nd a committee selected to arrange .comfortable quarters for any num. Xror visitors. A committea com k!bkI of the real estate men of this ol'y was aproijited. to canvass this llsaicl and to see that the exhib its wen- complete. Reports were made by the association as to the .irogres of the work at the Fair ,, -rounds, and all told the meeting was a most profitable one. Flora will hold her Fair September 22 and 23, and the matter of ssnd: ing a representative delegation' to Attend .the Flora meet was taken up and discussed, wi:h the re3ult that a large number from this city will doubtless attend the Fair there at tnat time. It wa also decided to end a large delegation of represen tative c i'.itiis ,o La Gramda ta con fer with the commercial club of that city anent the La Grande attendance at the Enterprise Fair.
