A BEET SUGAR THANKSGIVING.
rT 1 1 10 Ulali-idiilio Sugar eoinimny operating at (Iranls
J ass, lias raised the scale ai(i tor sugar lieets lor Hie
next year to $7 minimum. Fanners have made money at
f 1.50 and there seems no reason wliv the acreage should
not be greatly increased the coining year to the profit of
the valley.
Fj. L. Crawford of the California National hank of Santi
Ana sends the -Mail Tribune a clipping from a local paper,
telling ol a turkey 1 hanksgiviiig dinner given bv the Nan
ta Ana Sugar Co., to 900 sugar beet growers and their fam
ilies, celebrating the most successful sugar season in the
factory's history. It took H2 cooks and 10 waiters to serve
the 11200 pounds of turkey, 50 gallons of coffee, 50 gallons
ol ice cream, .SO gallons ot iriut cock-tails and JMX) buns.
The Santa Ana conipanv distributed to growers this
year 775,000. Jt sliced 112,800 tons of sugar beets, har
vested beets from 1 1,000 acres. There are I25 growers, '500
employes at the factory, and the company's annual payroll
is 110,000. The percentage of sugar in the beets averaged
between 18 and 19, and the growers received about 7 per
ton.
Commenting upon the prosperity created for Santa
Ana by the sugar factory, Jlr. Crawford says:
The factory to which this clipping refers is one of five of ahout equal
importance, all located in Orange county. The beets are not ail grown in
this couiiU. however, but are shipped In from the neighboring counties as
well.
The bunks hero find beet growers paper to be of a most satisfactory
nature, and it Is ti very uncommon oeciirrance when the growers crops fail
to clear his indebtedness, incurred by tho growing of the year's crop. The
factory to which the beets are sold remitting direct to the banks to clear
these obligations.
Irrigation is used by all successful growers In Southern California,
and 1 presume would be necessary in tho Itoguo ltlver valley.
Irrigation is as necessary for sugar beets in the Rogue
river valley as elsewhere. Ju fact, irrigation is essential
for the fullest success in any horticultural or agricultural
pursuit In this section and the sooner the valley is under
water, the sooner will prosperity arrive. (liven water,
beet sugar factories, canneries and many other industries
will follow.
BUREAUCRACY STRANGLES EFFICIENCY.
A
N INVENTOR, like a prophet, is not without honor
save in his own countrv.
A few days ago Sir Hiram Maxim died, lie was the in
ventor ot the Maxim automatic gun, which utilized the dis
charge recoil for reloading, of smokeless powder and of nu
merous other inventions, useful as well as murderous. His
invent ions revolutionized modern warfare. They were re
jected by the United States, but readily adopted abroad.
.Because of the. treatment, accorded him by his native land,
he renounced his American citizenship and became a cit
izen of (ireat I'ritain, which showered honors upon him.
Practically all the great, war inventions have been of
American origin, rejected at home to be appreciated and
developed abroad. The airship, Hie automobile, the cater
pillar tractor, the telephone and countless other devices
essential to modern warfare Avere used abroad to be neg
lected by our own army and navy.
The rejections of American inventions in recent years
have been largely due to the I'nited States board of ordi
nance and fortification, dominated by (Jeneral Crozier.
An example of its workings has just been disclosed. The
last congress authorized the expenditure of 10,000,000
on machine guns. The ordinance board rejected the
American Lewis gun, to adopt the English Vickers wheel
gun, a weapon relegated to the second lines by the Rritish
themselves and the choice was made without having seen
the weapon and without a test.
The Lewis gun is the invention of an American, Colonel
Lewis of lilt American army. It is a portable machine
gun that any man can carry anywhere, like an ordinary
rifle. The gun years ago was offered the American gov
ernment. It was rejected at Crozier's say so, for the Cro
zier gun, upon which the government wasted millions onlv
to have to evcntuallv abandon. lUit the Lewis gun has
been adopted as the most useful weapon of trench warfare
by (he entente allies ami thousands are in successful use.
The act ion of leneral Yozier, and his ordinance board,
has deprived the American army of an invaluable weapon.
It is an instance of efficieucv strangled bv moth-
eaten bureaucracy, such bureaucracy as brought Russia to
its present plight.
What is the use of spending millions for defense when
the money is wasted on obsolete equipment by the bu
reaucracy in controlthe same bureaucracy that has
driven American inventors abroad and made American de
fense a joke.
