i 1 r Good Outlook for Sugar Industry in Hawkey c State Directqr of Crop Service iu Iowa SayB Prospect for Development Appear Good. Dei Moinci, Nov. 26. Although new plant disease ii hindering the progress of the beet ugar industry in Iowa and two of the three plants in the stale re closed because of tin favorable economic conditions, Charles D. Reed, director of the Iowa weather and crop service, pre dicts that the industry will grow until It it a big factor in the pro duction of the state. Mr. Keed has just returned from a trip through the brct producing sections of Iowa.' He says the disease whirh is troubling the beet growers it known as circospora. It first attacks the leaves of the plant nnd gradually spreads to the root, hflccting the quality of the beds to such an extent that whole fields are sometimes left tinharvestcd. Two sugar factories in the state. already handicapped by the general economic depression and the mana gers finding themselves unable to cope with the disease, did not con tract for any beet acreage this year and are closed indefinitely. One of the plants at Wavcrly has been oper ating for a, number -of year, and the other plant at Bclmond was built with all modern equipment last year and operated just one season, Exprt3 Visit Fields. Two expert vegetable pathologists from the United States Department of Agriculture at Washington, an sweriiigan urgent call from the planters in Iowa, have visited the beet fields this fall to study the disease. They were battled, and thus far have found no means to eradi cate the disease. The only plant operating this year, the Northern Sugar corpora tion at Mason City, has employed W. H. Baird, considered the leading scientific authority on sugar beets in the country, to study the problem, He also will attempt to devise a means of eradicating the disease. Mr. Reed is to furnish Mr. Baird with 16 rain gauges, one for each of u 1 1 r' i. - . . HinteAn.:nM. and the effect of the various amounts of rainfall on the disease will be studied. Records will be kept also of the amount of sunshine on the fields, which is believed to have a great in fluence on the ability of the plant to overcome the disease by its inherent strength. Large Acreage Grown. . Mr. Reed is informed that the plant at Mason City contracted for the growing of 14,300 acres of beets this year, of which 13,800 acres will be harvested. The remainder of the crop did not do well because of poor stands, inexperienced hands and abandoned crops. Last year 15,250 , acres of beets were grown' for the three factories, with an average yield of 9.2 ton9 an acre. The average price paid the growers was $11.34 a ton, and a bonus was paid because of the favor able condition of the wholesale prices. The average yield this year is eight tons an acre, and a ton of beets brings $6 to the grower. There may be a bonus if wholesale prices are favorable during the marketing period. - Mr. Reed explains that the low price this year'for beets is due to a reduction of the amount of sugar ob tained from .. each ton of beets. Usually 275 to 300 pounds of sugar are obtained from a ton' of beets. This year an average of only 200 pounds a ton has been possible. The -I average sugar content of the' beets this year is 12.0.1 per cent, the lowest in 12 years. ' Mr. Reed asserts that many, per sons have eaten beet sugar without knowing it, as there is no difference in the taste . compared with other sugars. ...... Reduction of A. E. F. Along Rhine Started Cobienz, Nov. 26. (By The Asso ciated Press.) Reductions in the American expeditionary force along the Khine began yesterday when 11 officecrs and 600 enlisted men left on ; a special train for Antwerp to .ail tomorrow for home on the Trans port Cantigny. They are due to reach Hoboken about December 7. In addition to the soldiers there were three nurses, 15 former serv ice men and 82 wives of soldiers who were married in Germany. The wives of 40 of the men, eight of whom carried babies, traveled in two army hospital cars which saw serv ice in France. ' A great crowd witnessed the'de parture of the : soldiers, - who -are traveling as overseas casual detach ment No. 36. Most of the then come from the Fifth and Fiftieth infan try regiments.

More than 4.900 cattle in 395 Gage county herds have been- given the tubercu losis test since the campaign of bo vine tuberculosis eradication started in the country some months ago, ac cording to a report of Dr. C. A. Jerome, federal veterinarian to the State Department of Animal Hus bandry. The farm bureau Instigated the campaign in Gage county. Fillery, Glenwood and Clatonia townships lead in the number of tested cattle, each of them rearing the 100 per cent mark. Dr. Jerome states. Testing has been started in practically every township. An appropriation of $1,000 from the membership fees of the Gage county farm bureau made the cam paign possible and obtained the serv ices of a federal veterinarian, it is pointed out. Fashion experts say the styles to day are more becoming and make the woman of 30 look younger than she did 10 years ago. For athletic purposes a shoe has been patented that has a soft sole and stiff leather vamp and quarter la afford support. j Original Records Nebraska Grange Given to State Application of National Or der Presented to Historical Society Complete llii- . tory Planned. Lincoln, Nov. 26. The original records of the applications and organization of the National Grange of Nebraska, the applications being those signed by nicmbcri of each Grange in the state, from the first application in 1872 through the pe riod of the Grange's early growth up to 1879, are the latest contributions to be filed with (he State Historical so ciety. The records Nvere sent from the national secretary at Washington, and Addison E. Sheldon, secretary of the society, announces that they are the first of the original records and history of Nebraska agricultural or ganizations which the society plans to develop into a complete history of all Nebraska farmers' organizations. The records are contained in six volumes and it is expected that the remainder will follow as those al ready received are copied. The so ciety attaches unusual interest to these rccdrds because the application all are in writing, with location, date and members seeking charter, as well Bs me signatures, wmcn, nir. anciuon points out, will be of untold value in following and locating the earlv set tiers of Nebraska and those who were instigators of the Grange, as well as other organizations that followed Previous History. Keceipt of these volumes has caused the historical society to delve back into the early 70s and review me History of this organization, wnicn, in tnat period, is described as the most powerful and influential of any of the early farmers organiza tions. 1 lie organization orio-inallir was founded to obtain agricultural relief rnrougn a system of organization. it also was planned as an educa uonai ana co-operative movement and contained a strong progv.m of social activities. In fact, the rec ords show the Grange in that day usuany was tne social center of the neighborhood in many of Nebras xas counties, especially among those in the southeastern part of the state. , The organization did not adopt vvnat mignt De styled a olattorm to obtain the benefits of organization; rather, it is described as a slogan and read something to this effect; "Get, Rid of the Middle Man and Buying Agencies." Many stores. elevators and "small factories were purchased by the Nebraska Grange in all parts of the state, but after the first years of its foundation, dur ing which it experienced its greatest growth, practically all of these cooperatively-owned establishments went bankrupt or were absorbed by private individuals who continued to operate- them, many yet today. , Confirmed . hard times, during which credit was broken up, lack of good business judgment, the failure of co-operation between members and the advent oi politics are at tributed by observers of the grange as reasons for the near death of the organization. v , . Politics Spell Ruin. The advent of politics; spelled the temporary ruin of the Nebraska Grange, early members of the order Write the historical society. A. M. Walling of David City declares in a paper contributed to the history that politics ruined the grange, whereas had it remained an educational and social organization it would have prospered. George H. Simmons, one-time secretary of the Nebraska Granee. writes . from Chicago that he has forgotten most of the history of its organization, but the fact that politics and a demoralized condition of finances brought its downfall is yet deeply impressed upon his mind And so with other prominent mem bers of the grange in its early day they all declare that politics and contributing factors ruined the or ganization, j . Anions the first eranaes to be chartered, as contained in volume 1 of the records, was that of Harlan county, No. 1, January 11, 1872, with A. C. Robbins master and P. O. Orleans secretary. The charter contained 17 names. California Court ' Refuses to Reopen Denton Murder Case" San Francisco. Nov. 26. A peti tion for rehearina of the case of Mrs. Louise L. Peete,. convicted in T m Antrptea nf the murder of Charles Jacob Denton, was denied yesterday by the supreme court. All the justices concurred In the decision, except Justice Lcnnon, who was absent. No written opin ion was handed down, the opinion denvine the rehearing being merely ordered spread upon the court rec- ords. . The application for a rehearing w.-9a made on five crounds: That the appellate court decision was contrary to law. t v That error was committed in the manner of the selection of the al ternate iuror. That the court should not have ruled that a revolver and holster were admissible in evidence. That it was not necessary to charge the jury that if the defend ant was found guilty of murder it was their duty to determine the degree. That the court erred In holding that "misconduct on the part of the district attorney" must have re coiled to the prosecution's dire dis comfiture, indeed, if it had any ef fect at all.

Show Increase Shipments of Hoc So Far This Year Heaviest Since 1891 Low Prices An tract Buyers. aaBBia L Exports of live meat animals from the United States have shown t marked increase duiii.g the past few month;, and 1921 promlsei to be the banner year since 1908 for such trade. Live cattle exports during the first nine months of the current yearex ceeded those of any full year since 1911 and came within .1,000 head of being equal to the total movement for that year. Export! of hogi from January 1 to September 30 this year exceeded those ot any lull year in the history of the country since 1891, while sheep exports were the heav iest since 1913. Furthermore, this class of trade shows evidence of still further ex- ansion. Reports recently received y the Bureau of Markets and Crop Estimates are to the effect that cattle shippers have made effort, to contract for steamer space on boats leaving Boston for 1,000 head weekly during the next three months. To be sure, many of the . cattle being shipped from that port originate in Canada and are forwarded via Bos ton becauie of congestion at the port of Montreal, but cattle from the United States are well represented in the outward movement. Exports to England. While Cuba, Mexico and Canada have, during the past two years, pro vided the chief markets for exports of live meat animals, the United Kingdom took 29,670 cattle, 8.627 sheep, and 222 hogs during the first j nine months ot the current year. The marked increase in our trade with Mexico is indicated by the fact that up to September 30 exports of live cattle to that country totaled 106,763 head, an increase of 285 per cent over similar exports during the full 12 months of 1920. Exports of sheep to Mexico Increased 73 per cent and those of hogs 180 per cent, in each case comparing the full year of 1920 with the first nine months of 1921. That Cuba is becoming a rather important market for live meat animals from the United States mav be eathered from the fact that 95,339 animals were shipped to that repubile between January 1 and September 30 of this year. Ihe significance ot the above fig ures lies not so much in the number of animals shipped as in the fact that the figures cited would seem to indicate the revival ot a class ot trade which was once of considerable importance but which during and immediately following the war de creased almost to the vanishing point. 1904 Banner Year. So iar as available records go 1904 was the banner vear in the ex portation of meat animals. During that year exports amounted to 943,- 035 head. During the following year 845,032 head were exported, while m 1906 such movements to taled 671,912 animals. From the high point reached in 1904 trade decreased until in 1918 total exports amounted to only 35,550 head. While the 1918 movement was largely influenced by the war it may be noted that as early as 1913 exports amounted to only 208,765 head, 82 per cent of Which were sheep. Imports of meat animals, on the Other hand seem to vary inversely as do exports. In other words, im ports are usually light when exports are heavy, and vice versa. In 1904, for example, a year in which a heavy export movement occurred, imports amounted to only 196,266 animals. This may be compared with imports of 927,886 animals during 1914, which was one of the lightest years as regards exports. Apparently this ebb and flow of meat animals is largely a matter of price. Generally speaking, when prices in the United States are high imports are attracted from neighbor ing countries to the north and south, whereas exports are correspondingly With the SAUNDERS COUNTY, Walter F.

A period of low prices, on the other hand, usually reduces im ports and at the same time makes the exportation of such animals a profit able enterprise. In general, however, the tendency would seem to be aginst the trans portation of live animals for long distances. Refinements m the slaughtering and packing industries and the rapid development of artifi cial refrigeration, particularly marine refrigeration, have had much to do with increasing foreign trade in dressed meats to the detriment of the business of shipping live animals.
