SIGNING BEET ACREAGE.
The citlien ot drants Pas present
at the meeting of the Commercial
club Monday night expressed a de-
terminatloa to leave no effort nndone
' that would aid In bringing a beet
sugar factory to soothers Oregon.
. There was also another determina
tion that was clearly fathomed,
though not Quite so prominent upon
the surface. That was to provide a
little more than one-half the re
quired acreage for the establishment
of the factory and so settle the ques-
: tlon of factory , location. If 5,000
. are signed up In the valley, and if
the Grants Pass district can give
- 2,(00 acres of that amount, it will
not be necessary that one be a seer
or a prophet to mark the factory
location in red upon the map. But
the spirit manifest throughout the
valley has been of the best, and
while every citizen of this com-
munity hopes that it will be to the
Interests of the factory people to
build here, that hope In no . way
stands In the way of the prime en
deavor, the getting of 5,000 acres in
- the valley. Every man believes In
getting the acreage first and consider
ing the matter of location afterward.
. By absorbing the entire freight
charge after the (beets have been de
livered at the loading station, the
factory people have placed the grow
ers throughout the valley upon an
equal footing.
BEST WISHES TO THE MIKADO
Congratulations and well wishes
for the mikado and Japan on his ac
cession to the throne were extended
ty President Wilson. With it went
the wish for continued friendly re
lations between Japan and the United
States.
"On this auspicious occasion," said
the president's message, "of your
accession to the throne, I take
pleasure in extending cordial felici
tations, and in expressing confidence
that the influence of your Ideals of
light and justice will continue to
guide you In your exalted office and
will inure to the advancement of your
country. I assure your majesty of
my. best wishes for ycur personal wel
fare and that of your majesty's fam
ily, for the continuance of friendly
relations exlsltlog between Japan and
America."
President Wilson has appointed
former President Taft chairman of
the Central Committee of the Red
Cross. Wilson, as president ot the
nation, heads the organization. This
appointment makes Taft the active
head of the organization, succeeding
Major General Davis, retired, who re
quested to be relieved because of old
age.

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
Berlin, Nov. 0. The price of
pork, soaring recently to a point
available only for tho more wealthy
classes has dropped 10 cents a pound.
This Is probably due to the fact that
an extensive shipment was arranged
with Holland.

FACTS AND FIGURES
Continued from page 1.)
work ss per second table. You will
see at once the farmer is at much
less expense than the company, which
In a way may be termed land rent
or at least be has the better end of
this work. In an ' arrangement of
this kind the matter ot seed will be
equally divided between the land
owner and the gentlemen taking eon
tract to do the hand work. However,
this last way can not be handled In
too small trscts, for the reasoa the
overhead expense of moving men
from place to plate would be too
great. Not less than forty-acre tracts
couid be considered on this basis.
With a good crop -such as Is sown
here, It Is easily seen what profit can
be contemplated.
Probable Yield Per Acre
"As to probable tonnage, your at
tention Is called to small tracts of
beets grown In the valley. Beets
grown by Mr. Hood. Mr. NUes, Mr.
Hill, and many others, are perhaps
the very best evidence on this line.
Mr. Hood has a very substantial ton
nage, and it Is said that (by actual
weighing Mr. Mies' beets represent
38 tons or a little more per acre.
However, It must bo borne In' mind
that where land has been growing
small grain for many years and Is so
tired and worn out it Is ashamed, al
most, to look the world In the race,
the tonnage the first year will be at
least from 20 to 40 per cent less than
the second year. That Is with the
same cultivation, the same land will
produce much more after the first
year. Don't iorgct mis tact, riant
the best land Into sugar beets and
you will not be disappointed,
licet Tops as Stock Feed
"The beet tops as cow or cattle
feed are unexcelled. The beets must
be cut squarely off below the tops,
which leaves quite a lot of beet Im
mediately under the leaves, all of
which makes splendid . feed and Is
very fattening as well as Increasing
the milch cow's product at least 20
per cent. In the fall of the year
green feed Is very scarce and the
seemingly green grass then contains
very little qualities that will make
either fat or milk, hence this green
feed at the time it Is available Is
very desirable and of . exceeding
profit.
Pulp Returned to Grower
"The pulp will be sold to the fbeot
grower according to the tonnage of
beets he delivers to the factory,' on a
basis of about one-third as many
tons (of pulp as he delivers beets.
This Is about as near as we can
get at Jt offhand. The pulp will cost
the farmer about 60 cents por ton.
This "beet pulp contains a lot of
sugar, since It Is impossible for us
to extract all the sugar In the beet.
The feeding qualities of the beet
pulp can not be over estimated. The
farmer will receive $5 per ton f. o, b.
factory or nearest loading station.
"It la claimed by some that the
growing of sugar beets Impoverishes
land, This Is absolutely Incorrect.
The, facts are the growing of sugar
ibeets greatly Improves the land.
Land planted Into beets for a few
years will produce stupendous yield
of grain or any other kind of crop.
