WORKERS
vt
To tho Pnblid:
On behalf of tho Associated Ohnii
tics I wish to thank tho good and
kind people of lledforai nnd valley
for their helpful kindness to us alur
inp tho Chritma season, nnd the In
dies of the Country club for their
splendid tree Thursday afternoon,
and tho tunny beautiful and uencrons
things they did for the little ones of
the eilv, who otherwise, would have
ltnd httle, if anything, to remind then)
of CltristmnR dny.
Tite spirit of the Muster is not to
pivo everything to our neighbors
neross the son, but to fiM take care
of the little ones, the needy ones ut
onr own door, nnd after their needs
have been met, to pour our ehiritic
into the lap.s of others, whether Hcl
ginns or any other nationality that
the present war has impoverished
Onr appeals for help" havo been
generously responded to and we have
been' able to help about sixty families
and have 1'ound them tluscrriug and
grateful. We havo found that both
husbands nnd wives and older chil
dren are nnxiouR to work, and would
rather work Ihnu nupenl for liulp. j
Continue the Work
It is our aim nnd desire to eon
Untie this work through all tho .1uV
tin vis until another ChrNtnin. Our
aim is to follow up tho days sue
cceding ChriMinws with the relief fur
tho poor and letituto that is just as
necessary on oilier days a on
Christmas day, and which humanity
may forget to give, Jiot through
hardness of heart, but because of the
ru-h of other event and intete-ts
Hint crowd in nftor Chri-lmns.
The Associated Charities cau be
rondo a very helpful socioly, not only
in feeding the hungry nnd clothing
the naked, but in finding employment
for those who are anxious to work,
aud there are many stioh. It can be
rondo a protection and u help to the
girl who has fallen bv tho wav. with
out home, friends of sympathy; girls
who ore made easy victims of temp
tation because no hand is sti etched
out to help and shield them. There
are other ways in which thi society
mnv provo a groat blessing to those
who need encouragement, and
through its efforts poverty inny be
to a greut extent prevented. We
have tinned none nwav cinpty-hand-cd.
Willi us it hs not been a ques
tion of (he why nnd wherefore, but
rather to give in the name of Ilim
who went about doing good, and who
remembers every cup of cold water
given to the least of His little ones.
Seventy Llttlo Ones Happy
If my renders luould have seen the
boppv faces of tho seventy little ones
gatheied in the Bedford hotel to en
joy lite Chris-turns tree, and could
Jtnve heard tho many expressions of
gratitiido from both parent and chil
dren they would not heiitiite lo help
us nioie generously than ever.
We aie indebted lo Mr. Mnhr, who
j-o kindly gave us the use ot his
rooms nl the hotel lor the cnteitiiin
nieut of tho children; (0 our local pa
pers for the help thev have given us,
without charge, ,iu bringing hcfoie
the people the needs of the ussocin
tion; to tho inauagers of tho l'age,
Star and It for free advertising of
our work, and to the Christian
Rcii'iH'o church, St. Mark's church,
tho First M. 13. church, the Baptist
church and First Christian church
fiil Jo the KIIcm lodge for generous
contributions of clothing, food and

way or other lielped to make our
work easy nnd pleasant, nnd to bring

NO reasonable effort should bo overlooked lo secure tho
boot sugar factory tor tho Rogue ,Rivor valloy. It
will do nioro to establish proper agricultural aud indus
trial conditions than any ono proposition.
Sugar boots arc primarily a crop for tho small farmer.
They should be grown iti small areas b a largo, number
of farmers instead of in largo areas bv a small number of
farmer.
The average holding in the Rogue River valley is too
largo for intensified farming. As a result, tho largo traots
are poorly fanned, and there is a great area of idle land.
A subdivision of large tracts and a greater number of
praotieal farmers is this section's greatest need.
Sugar beets will inaugurate an era of intensive farm
ing for which water is as imperative as it is for fruit rais
ing. Hence it will hasten irrigation. Tho profits, while
not targe, just it v tho capital and energv expended. In
fact, sugar boots are tho ono crop the producer can figure
on in advance for known results. An acre properly oared
for will yield a known average, for which the market is
waiting with a known price. There is none of the gamble
for uncertain market that attends other products
The not profits of growing sugar beets is given in bul
letins by the department of agriculture as anywhere from
$10 to $"0 an acre. Ono average of three states shows a
net profit of $27.7-1 per acre. Tho Colorado papers con
tain Jong lists of those who netted from $100 to $200 an
aero, showing that the profits depend, as in other crops,
upon the individual.
The seed for tho sugar beet crop, best adapted to the
sou, is lurmshed by tho iactory, Avhich supplies an expert
to furnish advice and instruction regarding beet culture,
hi case of extra help needed, the company stands ready
to supply it. In fact, tho only chance the farmer takes is
upon his own industry.
A much-discussed question is as to whether tho sugar
beet impoverishes the soil, though why farmers who havo
for a score, and in some instances two score of veal's,
plantort tho same crop annually without oven plowing
deeper than a few inches, should raise this quest ton indi
cates that thev are industriouslv seeking to find some ex
cuse for not signing up for beets. "Regarding this point, a
bulletin by tho Oregon Agricultural college states:
It has beon conclusively proven tlint beets aro an exhausting crop
unless the greatest caro 13 taken to conserve the fertility of tho will. It
is true that the sugar beet Impoverishes the soil but little, If caro is
taken to plow the tops under In tho field and return tho pulp In the shape
of stable manure. Under these conditions, there Is practically no loop
of fertility, for sugar contains no element of fortuity It any be con
sidered condensed sunshine. It Is a serious mistake to underestimate
tho benefit of beet tops as a fertilizer. They aro of great value and
eu'ry farmer who restores them to the soil realizes a doublo profit in
the chemical and physical Improvement of his land.
The lcst results may b. obtained by rotation with cereals aud oc
casionally a leguminous crop as a nitrogen gatherer, by which praetlce
both crops will bo much benefited.
Beet pulp is one of the cheapest livestock foods that
fannei-s can use. It is a most excellent cattle, sheep and
hog food when balanced with alfalfa, clover or grain. It is
essentially a fattening food. Jt is relished by dairy cattle,
producing an excellent How ot milk. Jt is equally valu
able as food for hogs and sheep. Hence the beet sugar
factory will stimulate the livestock industry and help
make the valley so diversified in .its products that pros
perity will permanently abide hero.
After extended experiments in the growing of sugar
beets in the "Rogue River valley. G. AV. Shaw, chemist of
the O. A. C, in bulletin No. 59, dated December. 1899,
remarks:
There is no better location for a beet sugar factory to bo found than
exists in Jackson county. The average for the county was l.'.S per cent
sugar, S3..S purity, weight 19.1 oz. Tho people of that rcctlon should
recognize tho Importance of this great industry and tako steps toward
securing the location of a sugar factory in tlioir midst.
