tunity Ever Offered to Valley.
To tho Kdlter:
Ah there bavo boon Bovernl com
munications regarding the sugar beet
factory which It Is proposed to erect
Iu the valley, I have become Inter
cKtcd and feel like adding a word.
I have been talking with a number
of farmers and buslm-ps men who
kcoiii willing to lend their support.
I have been In tho truck garden
ihuslnchfi In this valley for the last 2.,
tears nml have raised sugar beets for
feeding stock, acres of them, and
inve found them profitable because of
the largo amount that could be raised
upon an acre.
Of course I am not saying that It Is
In set rich quick proposition but sugar
beets nre n sure crop, with littlo risk,
i ami small outlay for seed, machinery.
'etc.
' TKaa la Mn ntnAA tt'linr. 1iaa4i mm M

bo rnUo with loss work than in this
vnlley. As thoro are fewer pests
and soil and climatic clndltlons arc
more favorable than In most places.
I have raised from 25 to 20 tons
per acre with but very little water,
nml I did find It any more work to
ralw; nn acre of bcots, than an acre
If potatoes or corn.
1 am sure there Is no enterprlso be
fore the farmers at tho present time
that would be if greater benefit than
the building of the beet sugar factory
ns that would insure a cash market
for tho beets after tliey aro- -grown,
and Micro will ba no gamblo ns to
prices or a demand for tho crop.
It has been shown that beets
raised here, tost tho highest of any
grown elsawhere on tho western const,
thus making n sure demand for tho
crop.
I ntn sure the farmers will make
no mistake in raising tho sugar beet
as there is nothing to looso on the
partvOf the farmer, as there will )e
somo ono to show those how to ralso
them, if they do not know blw, seed
will be furnished, so thoro will bo no
risk of not getting the right variety.
Proper methods will be explained In
inlslng mid In caring for the crop.
lleut raising will put our land into
tho highest stnto of cultivation.
Hoots aro a fine crop to ralso between
young trees.
There seems to bo no troublo to In
terest tho man who has over rnlsed ,
beets, only those who have not tried
It seem afraid to sign up.
Now tho beet factory Is Just llko '
tho public market. Many kicked in
our midst on tho market because
they had never seen ono in oporation.
Hut they would not lot that go now
because It is a sure way to dispose of
nny thing rnlsed. I worked hard for
that also because I knew Its benefits
to tho farmer. Likewise our two can
neries which nro of greatest beuefit
to tho orchardlst mid gnrdnor.
I.ct us nil pull for tlio sugar beet
factory.' It will benefit tho farmor.
tho day laborer, tho wood chopper,
in fact. It Is hard to find any person
whom It will not benefit. "Wo need
something to crento labor on our

WATCH TRUST
S CASE FILED
TO BREAK IT UP
PHILADELPHIA, Jnn. 2.--The
Tinted States district court iiere to
day handed down un opinion refus
ing tho government' petition to
break up the Keystone 'Watch fuse
company on the ground Hint it is n
trust in violation of tho Sherman
anti-trust law.
The court in its decision said:
"Tho defendant declares that Hie
policy of boycott had been given up
before tlio bill of complaint was fil
ed, nnd there i .flmic testimony to
this effect, hut the eirculnr hns ncvor
been withdrawn or negatived, mul Hie
company's resolution of January,
1010, hns novor been rescinded. We
have no doubt Hint nn injunction
should be granted; but we ee no
sufficient evidence that public inter
est requires us- to break up the ex
istinjr corporate entity."
The suit iviii brought three years
ngo against the Keystone Watch Case
company, which is n combination of
several wntehmukint; concerns in
vnrious part of the eonntry, nnd al
leged by the government to control SO
per cent of the business. The gov
ernment charged that the company
rcstniincil trade by forcing dealers
to use its goods exclusively under n

FARMER OFFERS
$10.00FORFIRST
SACK OF SUGAR
F. S. Carpenter Tells What Sugar
Beets Mean to Farmers and Orclt
ardlsts and Says It Is Most Prof
liable and Surest of Crops Pays
Growers Wherever Tried.
i
To the Kdlter:
I wlh to say a word In regard to
the eitatillshment of a boot sugar fnc
tory In tho Itoguo rivor valley. I
bavo heard much discussion about
the advisability of such a thing and I
wont to say Hint any farmer who In
not willing to devoto all tho acreage
ho can spare to this object, Is work
ing against his own interest ns welt
ns against tho development of tho val
ley. I know from nctunl experience
that a beet sugar factory Is tho best
thing that has como this way from n
financial standpoint, as the farmer
will find out after the first season.
Tho tops mako tho finest kind of fod
der for dairy cows. Tho dried pulp
l highly benclaclal.
Profit Per Aero
I feel that It would bo a great mis.
take to pass thjs proposition up, ns
tho farmer can clear from $30 to
SI 00 per acre, from land that at pres
ent ho Is getting scarcely anything
from.
If you go into this beet raising bus
iness, you know beforo hand what
you aro going"' to get. as tho beets are
already sold, tho price per ton Is es
tablished, and you can't loso. If you
farmers pass this opportunity up, you
'should forcTcr after hold your peaco
and never grnmblo about not being
ablo to make raonoy, on your land
whllo your trees nro growing, or not
being able to break-even. at tbo end
of the'eeajon at least.
Mils for J'lwfc Sugar
I am going to put nil tho acreage
In beets that I can sparo, and wilt
glvo $10 for tho first sack of sugar
produced, and Jf there Is any ono
that wants It more than I do thoy will
liavo to bid moro. I can further say
that Mr. Ilromley's statement In re
gard to tho expenso of raising beets
Is practically truo. Farmers who
have families ran very materially re
duce tho expenso by doing tho work
tbomsolves.
It makes no dlffercnco what valuo
you place on your land, it comes back,
to the old saw, what will It produco?
Orange county. Cat,, has a beet acre
age of 40.00Q (teres and fivo sugar
beet factories. Do you think thoy
would ralso beets there If it did not
pay, whero land values nro ns high
as they aro hero. I want tho sugar
companies checks, I havo had them
before and they look good to mo.
Yours very truly,
