About thirty men and boys at Nichols turned out Wednesday and harvested and loaded a car of beets for Steve Albro, who recently had his leg amputated. We under stand tha,t the tame torce will com plete the harvest ot Mr. Albro's beet crop next week. Th.U act on the part of Mr. Albto'a friends in evidence that they are possessed of the proper spirit, The first year Lincoln county raised sugar beets the total acreage was forty acres, the following year the acreage was four times greater, and the increase continued until this year the total was nearly 1200 acres. There is no doubt in the mind of this writer but that next year the acreage in the county will exceed 2,000, and may possibly reach 3,000. If in 1904 the acreage can be increased to b,000 a factory for fie county is practically as sured. The thing lor North Platte citiseus to do is to encourage in every possible manner the growing of sugar beets. If we 'less our rail road interests the sugar beet in-dut-tiy will take the place of thoie interest-: if the railroad company Mays with u, the sugar beets will still be a big factor in our favor. The organization of a local sugar beet association has been sug gested for the purpose of pushing lorward the industry. This we be lieve is an excellent plan, and it should be taken up at once. Let us all unite in this effort; it mans much for everybody in North Platte and lor every citizen of the Platte valley in Lincoln county. For Sale Two Poland China Boar Pigs, six months old.
