CUR LETTER I0X
Meeeter a a gar Beets.
SILVER CREEK, Neb.. Dec. 14. Ta the
Editor of The Bee: During the last few
days I have noticed various) correspondence
from Norfolk announcing the Immediate
removal of the American beet sugar fac
tory at that place to Colorado. The rea
sons set op for tha remaval are about as
follows:
t. It ia the conclusion ef the company,
after a thirteen years' trial, that It can
never make a success of It.
1 The farmers do not ralr sufficient beets
to supply the factory, alleging that It so
much easier to raise ether crops, such aa
corn, wheat, oats and rye.
X. Beet have to be humored like a babe,
from the planting of the aeed until they are
t ulltl. . .
4. Rich corn land ta too good for the
tedious trouble of raining beets.
Having had some little experience in beet
growing, and aotne little knowledge of the
methods of the beet sugar companies. I
wish to offer some observations on the
above. First, consider the alleged objec
tlons of the farmers.
My experience is that It ta no easier to
raise ordinary farm cropa than it is to raise
beets. Plowing and harrowing are no more
difficult in the one case than In the othere.
It Is no harder to run a beet seeder than a
drill or a corn planter, and It Is Just aa
enay to cultivate beets aa to cultivate corn.
Pulling and topping beeU Is no harder
than husking corn. 1 will admit that get
ting down on one's knees and thinning beeta
hi work that most men would not like to
do. But that is children's work, and in
diversified fsrmlng. such aa every farmer
ought to practice, there la generally ho
trouble In finding children to do this work
on a field of ten to twenty acres.
A farmer will be very likely to grow the
cropa there Is the most money In. and here
tofore 1 have found nothing mora profitable
than beet.
The net profit on ten acres of beets should
be aa much as the net profit on forty acre
of corn. Why. then, if the conditions are
favorable to growing beets, should a far
mer plant all corn and no beets?
It is not true that beeta have to be
humored and petted. They need good cul
ture, and so does any crop If one would
make the most of It.
As an Illustration: This year T got 19.S1
for the seed from between two and two and
one-half acres of squnsh and still had
fifty double box loads of seeded squash
for my cattle and hogs, while last year on
Ix acres of equally good ground, I only
renltxcd 1128, chiefly for the reason that I
grew an enormous crop of weeds right
along with the squashes.
I have no doubt that farmers make eueh
objections. to growing beets as above stated.
But I apprehend there are many more
farmers who would give aa a reason for
not growing beeta that they did not Ilka to
be robbed by the beet sugar companies.
I don't Ilka It. and I won't have it. If I
have to quit raising beets entirely. I would I
rather be robbed by a railroad company
than by a beet sugar company, because the
railroad people put It down In plain terms
In their schedules Just what they are going
to take out of you. and you know where
you are at; while with the beet sugar peo
ple you may surmise, but never know to a
certainty. They weigh and they test, and
they fix tha tare at their own sweet will,
and tha beet grower has no check on them
In any way whatever. We put all sorts ot
checks on our public ofllciaJa and yet they
find waya to rob us.
But perhaps the beet sugar people are
always honest, and never need any checks?
I once shipped a carload of beeta from
which the company deducted 1.391 pounds
for tare, when I honestly believe that 893
pounds would have been enough.
I don't like to see the beet sugar Industry .
In Nebraska fall; It ought not to fail, and
In my opinion would not fall If It were con
ducted as it should be conducted.
Just what change should be made I am
not prepared to say; but I do know that
there are wrongs that ought to be righted.
The beet sugar people themselves, better
than anybody else, ought to know how
that can be done. They owe It to them
selves to find a remedy. If they are honest
and are dealing honestly with the farmers
they ought not to be under suspicion. It
would be to their advantage financially to
do ao. If they have not made a success of
manufacturing beet sugar they have at
least made a brilliant success of gaining
for themselves a reputation for crooked
work in their dealings with tha beet grow
ers. There are many thousands of acres In tha
Platte valley alone that are better adapted
to sugar beeta than anything else, and
would produce them In enormous quanti
ties even In a dry season and without any
irrigation. ' There Is big money in beets,
both for tha manufacturer and the farmer,
but the manufacturers have been slowly
strangling the goose that laid the golden
egg. If they had trented the farmers right
they might this year have had more beets
than it would have been possible for them
to consume. CHARLES WOOSTER.
Slot a Valid Reason.
NORFOLK. Neb.. Dec. l.-To the Editor
of The Bee: Wo aro Informed by laat
Sunday's Bee that for tha want of suffi
cient acreage of beeta the American Beet
Sugar trust decided to remove Its plant
from here to Colorado. The reason alleged
Is doubt ftil. No one knows better than the
factory people; that If they pay for beats
ahut 11 costs to rains them, about $6 per
ton, and fairly treat their customers, they
cun get within a space of fifty miles sur
rounding the factory all the beets they can
handle properly, in fact they would have to
enlarge or build mora factories. If there
was a shortage of beeta for a year or two
past. It Is certainly their own fault. During
the years they have operated here, the
supply waa greater than they could prop
erly handle, even at starvation values.
From 189 to 189 we have seen 'large
pitches of beets In December frosen solid
In tha ground. During time stated we have
seen farmers and others, with their beets
yet In the ground at sero weather In
squads of fifty, making for the factory,
seeking for leave to deliver or pull their
crop getting no satisfaction. Sometimes
meeting with a fellow with a crop of beets
In the ground ready to deliver and who
had been to tha bank during the aeason
for money to pay for help and about to
abandon crop for the reason that the lia
bility he Incurred already exceeded the
value of the crop when delivered.
The court records are alao evidence of
some of tha Instances where much damage
waa sustained by frosen beets and the
plaintiff tha loser with coats. During the
first year to make sure of sufficient acre
age our people organised themselves into
committees of ten eaoh and entered Into
contract to raise each about 130 acres at
83 per ton. Tha syndicate of which the
writer waa a member, after delivering an
average crop of beets, upon settlement,
found themselves out of pocket over 88,000,
all la cash, while other syndicates came
out but little better.
Is It a wonder then If farmers and oth
ers hesitate to make new contracts now.
During the campaign Just closed better
prices having Jrevalled no complaints
are noticed. All beet raisers of this year will
resume next year, some Increasing acreage,
while many others having abandoned the
field years ago, now Intend to re-enter
whether this plant Is moved or not. It Is
claimed that a guarantee is wanted of a
certain acreage, but our cltlsena are tired
and want a rest. There is probably a bonus
In sight; If ao, the first cost of their ma
chinery will have been repaid to them.
The question Is often asked among our
people of what benefit has the factory
been te tha town. Said a grocery dealer
th other day: "I only gave IM to get It
here and I will give II to help them to get
away It they will call for it." I have been
feeding fellows, with their families, ex
pecting work at the factory and lost 83.000
by doing so.
But they are going to move, and are dis
mantling the machinery. Tet as they had
promised a better deal for next year and
having paid fairly well this year for beeta,
they are under obligation (as Tha Be
aald Monday) to remain. They may be
come of some benefit In tha future.
C. F. E.
TESTS OF ANIMAL SPEED
Flea Ranks aa the awtrtest af All la
Ita Jamee Mna Makes Fair
Speed.
A European engineer, Joseph Olshausea,
began about fifteen years ago to measure
the speeds of all creatures that he could
study .and as a result ho has collected a
remarkable array of facts, each one based
on absolute experiment, to show Just how
fast or slow hundreds of animal are.
Ha has found that man can attain re
markable speeds, but only by tha use ot
artificial aids. A good pedestrian'a speed
over good roads, he says. Is a sixteenth of
a mile In twelve seconds. The Qerman
soldier covers a little more than three
miles an hour during an ordinary march
that does not last too long. But after an
eight days' march the distance covered in
a whole day often Is only eighteen and
three-fourths miles. In quickstep, how
ever, the same soldiers have covered five
miles an hour.
In athletes, tha beat speed recorded by
the investigation waa the initial velocity
acquired by a broad Jumper, who took the
Jump with a speed that carried him
through the air at the rate of 398 Inches
in a second.
The maximum speed acquired by the
average person in swimming eomfortably
Is thirty-nine inches a second, while oars
men In an eight-oared barge acquired a
apeed of 197 inches in a second.
Skaters a vera re from nine to tea yanla
a second, while runners on skids have
made aa much aa twenty-four yards In tha
same time, and tha Jumper on aklda has
developed almost forty yards velocity In a
second. Of course, tha latter velocity la
maintained only for a very short distance.
The man who mad thla record Jumped
120 feet.
Ice boats akim over the Ice at velocities
that have reached thirty-elx yards a sec
ond, or mora than a mile a minute.
The fastest that has been dona on a
bicycle la the record of sixty-six feet a
second.
The horse can gallop alx miles an hour
for a considerable length ot time. Thu
awlfteat dog in the world, the borzoi, or
Russian wolfhound, has made record runs
that show seventy-five feet in a second,
while the gaaelle has shown measured
speed of more than eighty feet a second,
which would give her a speed of 4,800 feet
In a minute if ahe could keep It up for
that distance
Tha gazelle, however, swift as she Is,
is not aa swift as tha ostrich, for that
homely but ewlft bird can run ninety
eight feet to tha second when he really
gets down to It. But then he helps him
self aiong with his wings, which may not
be of much use for flying, but are ex
cedingly helpful in running.
The whale, struck by a harpoon and
sounding In terror, haa been known to
diva at tha rate of 800 yards In a minute.
The Virginia rainplper haa made meas
ured nights of 7,600 yards a minute, and
tha European swallow haa attained speeds
of more than 8,000 yards.
A apeclea of crow flies in great swarms
from tha German mainland over Heligo
land every day, goa clear to the English
coast and returns again every night. Close
observation shows that these birda habit
ually fly eighty miles in three hours.
A apecles of falcon, known as the wan
dering falcon, flies from North Africa to
Northern Germany In one unbroken flight,
making the distance tn eleven hours.
Tha slowest creatures are snails and cer
tain small beetles. Some of them habitually
move only a foot or two In an hour; but
part of thla alowness ia due to the fact
that they remain motionless at Intervals.
By measuring the distances covered by
snails whan they were kept going con
stantly. It haa been found that the maxi
mum spaed of a good healthy snail is five
and a half feet an hour.
The ladybug Is a perfect race horse com
pared with thla, for it climbs a blade at
grass at the rata of almost two Inches in
a second, or nearly ten feet in a minute.
That speed, by tha way, la exactly the
average rate of apeed which Nansen's
Polar ship Fram drifted with the Ice dur
ing Its voyage of two and a half years
locked In tha floes. And when Nan sen left
tha Fram and pushed ahead with dog
sledge he didn't do ao much better, for he
rarely made more than nine miles a day. '
None of tha speeds made for any length
of time compare with the speeds that are
held for a second or a fraction of a second
by some small creatures. Thus a jumping
mouse found In the African desert leaps
through the air at tha rata of 800 feet in
a second. Of course she cleara only about
ten feet In a Jump, and cannot keep up
these Jumps for any great length of time.
Still, the little creature ia swift enough to
make a fast greyhound work hard for a
quarter of an hour or so, till the mouse is
wearied enough for him to outrun her.
SU11 quicker than this desert mouse is
the common flea, which jumps with an
Initial velocity of 860 feet In a second. If
the flea could keep this speed up steadily,
without atopplng once, it would cover al
most ten miles In a minute.
Hut even tha flea'a velocity is nothing
when compared with the velocltlea In celes
tial space. Luminous clouds have made a
measured spend of fifteen miles a minute,
while earthquake shocks have been ob
served to move at ratea reaching 600 yards
a aecond.-Sclentlflo American.

it la called upon to try an African for boot

eneral "cusaednasa" and lastly a China
man for being found alive in this country
In violation of tha Chinese exclusion act.
Other nationalltiea a're aandwlched In be

Leo Hule Hop, Hule Lun, Law Leo Quen.
Leo Owon, Lung Swing and Leo Chuck as
the various celestials who will have to
show tha court why they are in America,
how they got here and what they are do
ing. The only caae tried today waa that of
Wong Hoi Fun Lee Wing Chun Whang
Fu, who claims to have operated a Chi
nese goodie store at 122 North Twelfth
street up to a few months ago, but who Is
now doing a little at Ironing napkins at the
Bon Ton restaurant, which vocation Chi
nese Inspector J. H. L. Eager doea not
conalder a mercantile business, and It is
through Inspector Eager's seal that the
aforenamed Chinese delegation is engaging
tha attention of th oourt.
Chaoses Ilia Vocation.
The specific charge agalnat the much
named Wong Hoi Fun la that, having
abandoned hla vocation m a merchant, he
has beoome a common laborer and as such
is not entitled to remain in this country.
The defense claims that as tha Chinese
emigration treaty expired by limitation on
December 7, that tha Chinese now In the
country are permitted to remain, as there
is no law in vogue authorizing their de
portation. The Chinamen have engaged John Lind
say and W. A. Wapplch to defend their In
terests and District Attorney Baxter li
prosecuting on behalf of the government.
Stenographer David Dickinson of the dis
trict attorney's office Is trying to keep a
record of the proceedings, which have to
ba submitted through an interpreter, Eu
Tong. Mr. Dickinson Is doing all that a
mortal man can do In the work and if he
survives the ordeal he may try for tbe
position as official stenographer for Era
press Ann. By the time tha questions of
the attorneys and the responses are sifted
through the Interpreter they are aa com
prehensive aa a Chinese laundry bill. There
are no known phonographic characters that
will exactly meet the emergency, and Mr.
Dickinson is seriously contemplating com
piling a system of Chinese phonography to
cover these and like cases.
No gtar Chambers Go.
An Incident occurred during the hearing
this morning that may have a atrong bear
ing on future cases of this character. It
appears that at the preliminary investiga
tion of the case Wong Hot Fun's story was
taken through an Interpreter, and this
statement was offered In evidence. Judge
Anderson ruled the evidence aa a masa to
be Inadmlssable, aa he held that "a state
ment exacted from the accused Chinaman
In a side room and under duress would not
ba accepted as evidence In this court, Ths
place to try the cases Is before this court
and I will not tolerate any star chamber
proceedings."
