As previously advertised In The
Herald, America s greatest woman
orator, Mrs. Mary Harris Armor of
' Georgia, gave an address at the Phe-
i
lan opera house last Thursday night
under the auspices of the W. C. T.
U. One of the largest audiences
that has attended a temperance lec
ture in Alliance during the past few
years filled the opera house, and
still the audience was not nearly as
large as many of the audiences to
which she is accustomed to speak.
However she did not seem to lack
enthusiasm.
Mrs. Armor spoke on the subject
from the standpoint of science, com
mon sense and religion. Her discus
sion of the subject from the stand
point of si lence was one of tli ! ieJ
if not the best, that we na ever
heard, c uisidered from a view point
of conv'.acing argument. An array
of facta was presented showing the
effects : f alcohol upon the human
system that was most convincing.
We believe that if temperance
speakers and workers generally,
while they may not Imltate Mrs. Ar
nnr's particular style of presenting
the subject, would follow her exam
ple in presenting to the public facts
such as she presented rather than
indulge in vituperation, as is some
tim s done, a great dal more would
be acomplished in the cause of tem
perance. We believe that a large
majority of people would be in favor
of moderation In the use of alcohol
beverages, or total abstinence tit iff

Cook of 1ex-
-iimle Herald of September 27th,
which Is published at Llngle. Wyo.,
new town on the Guernsey branch
of the Burlington railroad, about
seventy-five miles west of Alliance:
The Llngle Herald stated some
line ago, before the present beet
rop had time to mature, that the
ield would be very large. But the
mmense yield now being harvested
was not expected, ir.ir confidence
In the North Platte Valley and scien
tific beet growing has been greatly
strengthened by the record breaking
ield now being put on the cars.
There are nearly a thousand acres
of beets at Llngle. Most of these
are on the famous "P. V." ranch, on
which the toAasite is located. The
and this feaf w-as sub-leased to
beet growers who planted in fields
of from two hundred acres, one firm
of Japanese having nearly three hun
dred acre s.
On Saturday, in accordance with
he direction of the Scottsbluff Sugar
Company, to whom the beets are
shipped, digging was commenced on
the land purchased northeast of the
ownsite by Win. Connelly last spring
for $125 per acre.
In order to have positive figures
is to the yield, a tract of land one
aire In extent was measured off and
the beets from this particular tract
weighed. This tract was on the edge
of the field, and the beets were no
better, if as good, as those further
out in the field. The weights of the
sugar company weigh man at the
beet dump were taken and they prove
that the yield was twenty-four tons
per acre.
Many people have very little con
fidence in the money-making proper
ties of sugar beets. In order to get
the best results It Is absolutely nec
essary that strict rules be followed
with regard to planting tind watering.
as well as caring for the beets by
hoeing and weed pulling. Mr. Del
Skinner, of Torrington, had charge
of this end of the Valley for the
sugar company this season and he
has done his work well, giving his
entire time and attention to the beet
growers, assisting them in every
way possible. Many of them have
to thank him and his superiors for
their success this season.
It Pays to
Raise Sugar Beets
In order to prove absolutely that
it does pay to raise sugar beets at
Llngle the land purchased by Win.
Connelly will be taken as an ex
ample. Mr. Connelly purchased for
ty acres of land this spring from the
Leiter estate for $125 per acre. This
was planted to sugar beets from
which he received the usual rental
of one-fifth of the crop and the tops,
less $1.50 per acre paid to tire beet
growers for their share of tops.
Mr. Connelly's income from this
forty acres will be as follows: The
beets sell for $5.25 per ton, of which
he receives $1.05 per ton, which
gives him $25.20 per acre at the av
erage yield of twenty-four tons. The
tops have been sold for $4.40 per
acre, out of which he gets $2.90 per
ac re, making a total Income of $28.10
per acre for his rental. This is at
the rate of five per cent on a val
uation of $562 per acre, or more
than twenty-two and one-half per
cent (22Mt 00) on his Investment.
Certainly looks good. This shows
that it pays the land owner.
Now as to the grower. The yield
of 24 tons to the acre will give the
erower $126 from his beets. He
gets $1.50 from his tops, making a
total Income per acre of $127.50. Out
of this he pays $25.20 to the land
owner, leaving a balance of $102.30,
from which expenses must be paid.
Any beet grower can pay all expens
es, including seed, pay Tor his own
time and all Incidental expenses, for
$40 per acre if he uses any Judgment
at all. Many of the Llngle growers
are getting out for much less. $10
out of $102.30 leaves u balance of!
$62.30 per acre net profit. An
eighty acre field will pay a total j
profit of $4,984. Th3se figures are
taken from actual facts and the
proof is at Llngle. See for yourself ;
and then Judge whether or not land j
at Lingle is a good Investment.
Where else can you make as much '
etaaf money on so small Investment, j
Suppose Mr. Connelly had done'
the managing of his forty acre field j
and taken the profits himself What I
would have been his total income
en by the use of fertilizers. The
soil and climate of the North Platte
Valley are particularly adapted to
the growing of sugar beets.
We have been assured that Llngle
can have a sugar factory if the nec
essary acrenge is planted. No other
town has as much irrigable land
tributary to It in the entire Valley,
over 178,000 acres of Irrigable land
being tributary to the town. A fac
tory at Lingle would mean that a
treat amount of money would be
paid out here in wages to sugar fac
tory hands each season. The shorter
the haul and the 'ess handling, the
more profi' there is In beets.
