Beet Acreage Increases. E. Ewel, agricultural superintendent of the American Beet Sugar Co., was in town Wednesday, having spent the Week among the farmers of Dawson county and at Hershoy, where the company's agent, John Bryan, is mak ing contracts with the growers. Mr. Ewel says that the prospects for a big beet crop this year are gotting better every day. Dawson county, so far, is a little in the lead in beet acreage contracted, over a thousand acres more than last year's total being now signed up at Darr, Lexington, Joaaelyaand Overton. Indications, are, however, that Lincoln county will soon como to tho fore, as Mr. Bryan is now signing up contracts every day. Quito a number havo. signed for fifty acres or more, tho largest contract boing by George Mudd for 100 acres. At five dollars per ton and fifty cents extra for siloing, tho beet crop is going to proye a profitable ono for our farmers. On land carefully selected and properly cultivated, a yield of twelve or fifteen tons is none too much to expect, A number of growers in tho Hor8hey district did that well last year ,and say they will do better this year.
