Paulding Banker Shows How SugaBet Culture Increased" Prosperity. That the establishment oCthe sugar beet Industry in Ohio twill result in an increase of $20,000,000 in the value of farm Jandjj jn the state . lhe end Q the present year is the?niternent ofC t EL Allen, a banker of Paulding, O. - "Ohio and Indiana should become as great producers of sugar'as'.llchlgan eald Mr. Allen, "and they will unless hostile legislation by conjra interferes with the natural development of this industry. In Pätrräinj county alone, although the beet sugar factory here has been In operation only two years, the, value of farm property hag Increased $5,000,000 as a result of the introduction of? sugar beet culture. Another result has been the investment of 15,000,000 or more In other boet sugar factories in this section "of the state within the past year, which in turn will vastly increase the -value of the farm land surrounding them, udding $20,000,000 or more toy he agricultural wealth of tiffs region. "Aside .ruin the direct financial returns that have followed the establishment of the sugar bet industry In Ohio, 11 n nre numerous other benefits which, though not so direct, are uu less j ..port nut. To obtain good results from i . vt culture farmer: have found it inM-i-ss.-iry to put more bund labor on the land. The result is that thousands of men, women and children are oeing laicen irom tue overcrowd-; ed sections of the cities of the state j and set to work on the land, a back fo I the farm movement that is of real practical value. . 4 v "This Increased tillage of the soil is the very bestand, in fact, the only effective means of overcoming the weeds that are the chronic enemies of the farmer, choking his crops, aod' exhausting his soil. Besides all thiswe have found that every other iropf raised upon land that has been put' into sugar beets shows a greatlv, increased yield. "Upon a rrtece of land that had been In beets the previous season I myself raised seventy bushels of oats to the acre, while across the fence one of my neighbors, on exactly the same kind of land,.got n yield of not quite M ly. Last year on another piece of land that had . been used for sugar beets 1 grew flftj bushels of wheat to the acre where the ordinary crop is between twenty-two J , At . are in conrrsation -among themselves and one reports a yield of from seventy to ninety bushels an acre the other will reply: 'You have raised it on sugar beet land. That accounts for it' "This year there will be taken from Ohio cities to the country to work in the beet fields over 5,000 people, and yet this industry Is only beginning in the state. Ohio ought to have twentyflvo beet sugar factories, and Indiana, equally favorably located and with land peculiarly fitted to this crop, should have an equal number."

The Sugar Bet Increases Yield of Other Crops. How sugar beets improve the fertility of the soil and Increase the yield-of all crops grown in rotation with them Is explained in the National Magazine by Truman G-. Palmer, who has spent the past ten years In studying agricuK tural methods In Europe and America, "The BUgar beet being a deep rooter," says Mr. Palmer, "a prerequisite to its culture is that the soil be stirred to a j i - j3 i l j t i mi uepui oi ten u louneen mcues. f ue tender beetlet having to undergo the shock of thinning soon after it comes up in order to leave but one beet to a place, it demands a well prepared, mel low seed bed. Gathering the sugar in Its leaves from the atmosphere by tlm aid of the light and storing it up in the roots, it will not thrive If the light is cutoff tUronghbdngshnacd by weeds. and their eradication means not only a fiirthor stirrimr of rho soil hv onltlvntion and he1u-. but they are removed before going to seod, thus leaviu?' weedless fields for succeeding crops Being plowed out in autumn gives an extra fall plowing, which leaves th. land In condition to absorb instead of shed the fall and winter rains aud store up the moisture for ÜlßJ!oJ I owing season's crop. With the removal of the main root myriads of fibuous roots nre broken off and left in the soil to an iverage of a ton to the acre, and In rotting thsy not only deposit I. :mus in the lower strata or sou, but leave mi nute channels through whicn it becomes aerated and hence fertile. The roots of subsequent drops follow these Interstices and draw nutriment from two and three times, the depth of soil formerly reached, and hence the farmers double and treble their soil output without increasing their acreage."

Hobson's Own Case Against His Prohibition Resolution

Paradoxical as it may seem, the strongest argument against Hobson's proposed prohibition amendment to the constitution has been presented by none other than Mr. Hobson himself. One need not go beyond the covers of the Congressional Record to find sufficient evidence, from Mr. Hobson's own mouth and pen, to damn his resolution forever as a temperance or even prohibitive measure. mi -During the prohibition debate in the Sixty-third Congress, Representative Cantrill quoted the following pordon of a letter from Hobson to the President: Let we call your attention to the fact thi these blind tigers and blind pigs and other low dives .... are the chief agents which debauch the boys. Investigation shows that the drunkard contracts his habits, before he reaches his majority, and it is not drinking men that teach the boys to drink, but these blind tigers . operated systematically in spite of law and local regulations CONGRESSIONAL RECORD SIXTY-THIRD CONGRESS, PAGE 520, Thus does Hobson admit the evil of the outlaw liquor trade which he was later practically forced to confess would flourish under his prohibition amendment. At the time he penned this statement, however, he was chiefly interested in burdening the legitimate liquor industry with heavier taxation. But a short time later the verbose Mr. Hobson, in advocating the prohibition bill, took another tack. Here we find him advocating the destruction of the legitimate liquor industry, which he previously absolved from the major portion of the blame for ruining theouth, by an instrument which he admits does not interfere with the drinking of the individual. Defending his resolution, Hobson said: It does not coerce any drinker. It simply says that the barter and sales matters that have been a public function from the semi-civilized days of society, shall notcontinue the debauching of the youth. We do not try to make old drinkers stop drinking, but we do effectively put an end to the systematic, organized debauching of our youth through the thousands and tens of thousands of agencies throughout the land.' CONGRESSIONAL RECORD, SIXTYTHIRD CONGRESS, PAGE 5S5. There can be no question but that Mr. Hobson refers here to the legitimate liquor trade when he speaks of it as a "public function," etc., quite a revision of his opinion since informing the President that the blind tigers and pigs were "debauching the youth' Driven to a corner by his own contradictory statement Hobson was later forced by Republican Leader Mann to admit a preference for the "tiger" over the licensed liquor store. Mr. Mann: The gentleman wantsj&o submit a proposition which, if it shall be adopted, will cause more misery, more blind pigging, more bootlegging, the consumption of more liquor improperly, more temptation to the youth of the land than is now the case. Mr. Hobson: But suppose they (the blind tigers) j did. I should rather have them than this great monster the licensed liquor trade.) CONGRESSIONAL RECORD, SIXTY-THIRD CONGRESS, PA GE 595.

Again on page 586, Congressional Record, Hobson makes another startling admission: We do not say that a man shall not drink. Wer do not say that a man shall not have or make liquor in his own home. So we have Mr. Hobson proposing a prohibition amendment which strikes only at the legitimate liquor industry. It does . not affect the outlaw tiger, which Hobson blames for debauching the youth. By Hobson's own admission, it fails to restrict the ind' idual consumption of alcoholic drinks or to prevent their concoction by any thirst7 individual or set of individuals. Why then are the Prohibitionists supporting Hobson's bill? This question may best be answered by the fact that the sincere prohibitionist who has investigated Hobson's false scheme, is not supporting the measure. Eugene Chafin, greatest of the prohibitionists, has denounced it. So hat Ex-Governor Hanly, whose hostility to liquor is unquestioned. Back of the Hobson bill is the organization which has seized upon the issue as a political and financial asset. But why does it not propose real prohibition? The answer: A few years ago, Maine,"dry" for over half a century, voted again upon the prohibition question. Prohibition won by a scant majority of 758 votes. None could deny jhat Maine's "blind tiger" machine alone prevented an outraged citizenship from casting off the obnoxious system. It held the balance of power and more, too. Political prohibition, or prohibition for profit, has no intention of proposing real and effective prohibition. To do so would alienate its powerful ally the outlawed liquor trade in "dry" territory.
