The Purdue tests for ten * e years show that the average per e ' » cent was about 14. In some few , * instances the figures were con- * t * siderably lower, and in a few, * * considerably higher. The tables •« • * show that the per cent varies di- -k * rectly with the kind of cultiva- * * tion. All high per cents are * x. found in instances where cultiva- * * tion is marked “A." All low per * 4; cents are found when cultivation * * is marked "C." The cultivation * * is graded as follows: ‘‘A" mean- ♦ ’ * ing good; “B" fair, and “C" poor. * I * Date of harvest ranged from $ • * Semtember 25 to December 17. * ************** It has been the greatest six days' work you ever performed, boys. Keep up your batting average for a week and we will all make a home run. If the motor car company decides to double their plant here at once, as now seems probable, we would sure be going some. All these things mean much other work. That house question that we have been letting alone for a few days has not improved much. Several people are figuring on building homes, but it will take more than a few to take care ci the many who will be looking for houses. The building of the plant will alone be quite a task, it being estimated that the cost of construction wiii be about $200,000. The installing of the machinery will require expert work snd altogether it looks like there would be something doing. Did you ever stop to figure what a busy place this would be next fall with the beet sugar plant in operation. Aside from the fact that about 390 people would be employed there the Tiauling in of the crop would cause a continual stream of wagons to pass to and fro through the old town for weeks.

BUILDING A CITY CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE convenient, and either at a smoker or court house meeting, tell the good lively boosters how to succeed at this mad game. The above Is related at this particular time, hoping that it may influence and encourage the booster game which is going at a fast and furious pace in Decatur and Adams county. Mr. Hernley tells me that he is acquainted with the beet sugar business and that it is one of profit making, both to the farmer and the manufacturer. Mr. Hernley says that Adams county can do a great service to the state by demonstrating that the beet sugar industry is one that can flourish Son on with the dance. Sue cess at this time may mean more than you think. The boosting game has b«cn a hard one in Decatur, and many of us are still wearing violent marks therefrom. But who is a quitter. Not on your tin-type. Get out the band. Rally 'round the flag, boys. Put me down for a few more acres. If you talk until your tongue hangs out, and you run out of spit, draw on the office of the secretary of state. Good luck to you. L,. G. E. AGED JUSTICE DEAD. (United Press Service.) Washington, D.
