Good Crop Sugar Beats.

D. W. Johnson, formerly of McCgysburg but now a tenant on the Zack Seifert farm eight miles north and one-mile east of Morocco, was in Rensselaer Thursday. Some of Mr. Johnson's corn was injured by the frost but he has a crop of beats that will bring him splendid returns. He has out thirty acres of sugar beats. The yield will be about fourteen tons to the acre. By his contract he is to receive the price of 100 pounds of sugar for each ton of beats. The price named in the contract was a minimum of >6.00 per ton. He will, however, receive about |7.50 per ton on account of the higher pnce of sugar.
