INCREASING
WE are indebted to "Facts About Sugar" for tho chart
below, which shows clearer than words, the effect of
sugar beet culture on crop yields. The figures arc taken
from the United States Department of Agriculture bulle
tins and arc authentic. They show the beneficial influence
of sugar beet culture upon other crops grown in rotation,
and the stimulation of diversified agriculture caused by the
beet sugar industry.
Sugar beet culture is admittedlv the main factor in the
wonderful, agricultural development of Germany during
the past generation, winch has resulted in doubling the
yicJds of the principal staple
comes from the beet growing
Denmark and other European countries.
In the chart, the first of each pair of columns shows the
average yields obtained before sugar beets began to be cul
tivated, while the second shows the average vields secured
from the same fields after they had been planted to sugar
beets. The increase following rotation with sugar lJects

Sugar beet culture is of great benefit to the soil, loosen
ing and enriching it, especially when tho tojw are used as
a fertilizer. It pays an excellent direct profit. The bi
products (ptilp and tops) furnish- excellent cheap stock
food. It increases the yields of other crops when rotated,
and as a result of improved soil and crop conditions, in
creases land values.
A beet sugar factory is one of the greatest needs of the
valley and it is hoped that the committee in charge of the
matter, will omit no effort to keep tho project alive, for no
oiie thing will so stimulate the diversified development of
the valley and create such an abiding prosperity.

Great credit Is duo tho children for

Mario Dressier, Charlie Chaplin,

production called "Tllllo'n Punctured

funniest plcturo over thrown on tho

greeted by a well filled house, and
whllo the advertising states that any
ono that don't laugh can get their
money back, no ono called at tho box
offlco but ocry ono seemed to enjoy
tho performance vcr much. Tho
comedy is clean and not of tho slap
stick kind and tho situations aro now
and full of startling incidents. Tho
plcturo has been shown at twenty
flvo cents but tho prlco for tho en
gagement at tho S(nr has been cut to
ten cents for everybody, and there
