Mr. Austin followed Mr. Hramwcll
with nil nddrosH devoted chiefly to
tho practical foaturos of beet produc

for 20 yours, identified during thnt
porlod wholly with tho Utah-Idaho

farmers of this valley," said tho
speaker, "Is to ralso tho beets for

"The good farmor," the speaker
continued, "will piodttco S100 worth
