THE BEET GROWERS PRESENT THEIR CAUSE:— The Ceniral Reet Sugar growers of Northeastern Indiana and Western Ohio, which comprises the Decatur area, have a just cause in appealing to the Secretary of Agri-| culture or the powers that be to I remedy by increase the alloted beet acreage in this territory. The earnestness of the 1.100 j growers assembled here Tuesday > evening was clearly demonstrated I when they declared the beet crop | was one of the most profitable they had in 1933 and that a reduction ’ in acreage, under the universal formula for the country, would not' only be a serious handicap to them, but would threaten the successful operation of the Central Sugar sac-1 tbry. operated on a 50-50 basis* The alloted quota of the beet i acreage is made on the 193 J plant, i od acreage, which over the country: was one of the heaviest on record J and in most cases in the west and ;

east, is very satisfactory. It so, happens that in Adams County and in the ten Ohio and Indiana counties where beets are grown for the local mill, the planting season was! one of the most unfavorable known. Records show that beets were planted only two days in April, j that heavy rains prevented plant-1 lugs until after May 25 and from I then to July 2, this section of the country suffered from drouth. As a result the 13,470 acres contracted shrunk to 10.656 when planted and due to bad weather during the growing season only 5,377 acres were harvested. In controlling the beet acreage for 1935, th® agriculture department's formula provides that it shall not exceed from 90 to 10b per cent of the total planted in 1933. That's the stinger in the local case. Even if 100 per cent of last year's planted acreage was alloted. it I would mean only 10.000 acres to be contracted and out of this amount come the shrinkage between contracted and harvested acres, reducing the amount materially. Indiana's only beet sugar mill, the growers point out, is well equipped to handle a large tonnage. Machinery and equipment has been installed to slice an average of 1,200 tons of beets a day and if sufficient beet tonnage was provided the plant could operate from 100 to 120 days. The organization meeting of the beet growers w.ts a harmonious affair. No criticism of the agricul ture department's policy was voiced, the growers merely setting up their case and asking a hearing, on what they and others consider a just cause. Under the able leadership of E. W. Busche of Monroe, master farmer and beet grower, the interests of the growers will be protected and agriculture de. velopment furthered. The growers should be given an attentive ear. for the raising of beets and the continued operation of the state's only beet sugar mill means much to thousands of people

In the Decatur area and in other states. Considering that nearly a half million dollars was paid last year for beets and many more , thousands of dollars for labor, coal, trucking and material, the benefits of the industry are far ' reaching and along the line of bringing recovery to agriculture communities. We can’t help bnt believe that administrators of the agriculture act will so view the matter and grant a concession to local growers. The state highway department is experimenting with the use bf rock salt on macadam roads, taking the place of calcium deride, a more expensive treatment used in keeping down the dust. In Novia Scotia, where climate conditions are more severe than in Indiana, salt has been used successfully. The salt does lay the dust on stone roads, but what effect it will have on automobiles is not yet known. Motorists claim that it will rust the fenders and eat through other metal. The city street department is making a number of repairs to streets. sew»r openings and mark Ing parking lines in the up-town district, all in the interest of the : public safety. Decatut is proud of i its well improved streets and those in charge of the city departments I are anxious to keep the streets, ■sidewalks and alleys in good reI pair. The Democratic women will ' meet in Geneva this evening and a feature of the meeting will be I the address by Harvey Cole, prominent attorney and able speaker of Peru. These meetings are delight, ful affairs and no member will miss this evening s program if at all possible to attend. There are 651.A90 persons on the ■ federal pay roll, of whom 75 per I cent are under the civil service, leaving a very small percentage to . . . .. ~

, i be changed along political lines. If business isn't good in Decatur the next six months the rest of the ! country will not be doing enough Ito keep the wolf from the door. Faith in Decatur helps make this j a better place in which to live and | surely this logic is paying big dividends now. When you speak of beet growers you include a small army, as was seen here Tuesday night. No further comment need be made—that's the last of Pierpont.
