"The average American consumes eighty-two pounds of sugar each year, und onlv tea pounds of that ration are now produced in this country. The farmers of the country should keep that money at. home in other words, put it in their own pockets." The foregoing statement appears in a bulletin which the Department of Agriculture has just issued reviewing the progross of the beet sugar industry during the past year. The report proceeds to point out that while the production of sugar from beets has advanced very rapidly, more than 5,000,000 tons of beets haviug been grown last season, 2,000,000 acres additional
should be devoted to this crop in or
der to produce at home the sugar now purchased from abroad.
This is a subject of particular in
terest to Indiana for the reason that
this state lies in the center of one of
the most important beet sugar produc
ing sections of the country. Not only
have repeated tests in sugar beet
growing demonstrated that Indiana soil is adapted to the production of this valuable crop, but the successful
operation during the past season of
the state's first beet sugar factory has
proved it conclusively. Although the
season was an unfavorable one and tit

were unfamiliar with, the handling of this new crop, the results obtained by the new plant at Decatur show that Indiana is capable of maintaining a beet sugar factory in every county,
throughout a large portion of the state j at least, and that the state could easily produce nc t only all the sugar required for home consumption, but also, if necessary could grow and manufacture half of all the sugar required by the United States. Some figures from the actual operations of the beet sugar plant at Decatur during the past year will give
some suggestion of the possibilities of this industry for Indiana. Aside from the investment of $1,000,000 or more, wmicb tlie plant itself represents, the factory paid out to tbe farmers who grew beets about $550,000. Some $75,000 was paid out in wages to factory and field operatives. The railways of the state received from tlie transpor
tation of beets, sugar and supplies over
$100,000, while considerable sums were
distributed for limestone, cotton bag
ging and other articles required in the
process ol: manufacture. Thus about three-quarters of a million dollars was
distributed through various channels of Indiana industry as a result of the
establishment of a single beet sugar
factory within the borders of the state.

in the prosperity that accompanies this crop. Bank deposits have gone up. The sellers of agricultural implements,
dry goods men and dealers in all other lines tell of improved sales and report that collections of bills are made with
much greater promptness wherever the

saying 'vn ir grace' bo he noble, friend or begrrar. "Will your grace
do me the favor to bring me my coffee at 9 o'clock tomorrow ?" would strike an American bellboy with dismay. But it is the literal translation of the Spanish request. Never tell a beggar to clear out, but say that you have left your purse at home and that you will remember, him tomorrow or gently murmur that God will reward him, whereat he will smile, thank you and depart. These same beggars, who spring up on every side, seem to have a code of etiquette we could not fathom. After two or three dars there were a few who begged only from me, two or three others who besought Joan. Evidently we were understood to be the patrons of certain beggars who out of a crowd of mendicants were the only ones to fc; approach, us who would take their-' dole with tbanks or if we 'said "tomorrow" wrould smilingly back away at once. A" trip into Spain ought to mean more than sketches of life as we saw it in a single city. Yet it was our pleasure to linger on in Mad
rid, with the exception of three days spent in Toledo and the Escurial, for the whole of our two months' holiday, and to return direct to Paris without seeing any of the southern country, so beloved by other tourists. So can any one wonder that to us Spain means Madrid, the city of marvelous contrasts? E. C. Allen in Online Foozle Ag:;o.

who has watched the development of
the industry there, keeping careful record of business transactions in the city,
has estimated that the value of land in
the city and on the surrounding farms
for a distance of several miles has ris
en nearly 25 per cent since the fac
tory's establishment. This is not sur
prising in view of the fact that in ev-
erv case where the beet sugar industry
has been established in any part of the country a gain of from 30 to 100 per cent has taken place in laud value.within three or four year. When I hi beet sugar factory at Paulding.
