THE DELEGATES REPORT.
(Continued from Third Page.)
sent to Pvof. Nicholson from farmers re
garding their experiments made in beet
culture, during the dry season of 1890:
ChaTles J. Nelson of Dawson county
reports: Seed planted May 17; after
beete, were up they were thinned to a
distance of guc to eight inches and were
cultivated with horse hoe and harrow.
I.cultivated them twice and hoed them
once. The -last of J une we had a terrible
hail storm after which it was very hot
and dry until beets were harvested the
30th of October. Yield fifteen tons per
acre. Cost of raising about $10 per acre.
Beets stood the drouth better than any
other crops. (These beets analyzed from
twelve to sixteen per cent sugar.)
Tj. G. Babcock of Antelope county:
Seed planted May 10th, hoed once and
the rest of work done with plow. Har
vested Is ov. 6th. Yield sixteen ton per
acre. Cost of raising 310 per acre. We
had no rain from January 21st to August
20tb. Drouth effected the baets the
least of any crop we had.
Ij. A. Ganson of Cheyenne county:
Beeta planted April 8th in rows twenty
inches apart; cultivated four times with
garden cultivator and hoed twice. Sea
son so dry wo raised no corn, yet I have
a nice lot of beets. I consider them a
sure crop. Have raised them for twelve
years for stock food. (Samples analyzed
fifteen and seventeen per cent sugar.)
J. C. "Wolf of Cheyenne county: Seed
planted June 15th, came up but did not
grow any until August 1st, when I
arranged to have them irrigated from
the creeks. From that date the growth
was wonderful and I have harvested two
wagon loads of beets from four square
rods of ground. (Analysis fifteen and
eighteen and nine tenths per cent sugar.)
R. Van Meter of Perkins county: Mr.
Van Meter sent in five varieties, analysis
as followes: Eighteen, twenty-one,
twenty-one and thereo tenths, twenty
and twenty and six tenths per cent sugar.
Grown on table land, hoed twico and
cultivated twice.
G. W. Bushang of Banner county:
Beets planted May 15th in rows eighteen
inches apart, ground plowed ten inches
deep and thoroughly harrowed. Beets
were hoed once and afterwards cultivated
the same as corn. (Analysis twenty per
cent sugar.)
Benjamin Bird, of Dundy county:
Seed planted May 12th, in ground well
pulverized to a depth of eight inches.
When beets had four leaves T thinned
them to a distance of from six to eight
inches apart I raised sixteen seven
eighths tons per acre.

RESOLUTIONS.
The convention made the following
recomendations by resolutions adopted
viz: That the next legislature enact a
law that will pay to the growers of sugar
beets in Nebraska during the next fivo
years a-bounty of one dollar per ton, and
a bounty of one half cent per pound to
tho manufacturer for all sugar manufac
tured from beots grown in tho state,
which bounty shall not le paid to tho
manufacturer unless the price paid to
the growers of beets be at least SI per
ton for twelve, thirteen and fourteen per
cent beets, $1.50 per ton for fifteen per
cent beets and so on increasing fifty cents
per ton with each additional per cent
sugar. . Xne secretary or tne convention
was requested to correspond withthe rep
resentatives of our government in Ger
many, France and other beet sugar pro
ducing countries regarding the most
successful mode of growing beets, prices
paid for the same by manufacturers and
such further information as may seem
desirable.
The next legislature of our state is
asked to provide for a state board of
immigration for the purpose of sending
out correct information regarding our
state and to make a liberal appropria
tion for the same.
A permanent organization known no
the Nebraska beet sugar association was
effected with the object of encouraging
and promoting the beet sugar industry
in Nebraska and the following named
officers of such association were elected:
Geo. D. Meiklejohn, president; C. A.
Atkinson, first vice president; J. O. Cram
second vice president; J. S. Hoagland,
third vice president; C. E. Adams, fourth
vice president; W. N. Nason, secretary
and M. A. Lunn, assistant secretary.
The said officers constitute an execu
tive committee and have general charge
of the affairs of the association. They
are authorized to establish county organ
izations to aid in the accomplishment of
the objects of the state association and
shall call a state convention each year at
such time and place and upon such basis
of representation as the committee may
determine.
As a means of imparting information
and exciting interest in tho beet sugar
industry throughout our state, the con
vention was a success; and if it shall re
sult in stimulating tho agriculturists of
Nebraska to enter into the beet culture
upon a scale large enough to attract to
our state a sufficient number of sugar,
factories to make this the leading sugar
producing state in tho union. A special
vote of thanks to th9 board of trade of
Lincoln for giving .us a beet sugar con
vention ought to bo fired from every
city, town and village of our state.
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION.
Before concluding this report your
delegates desire to say that in their
opinion the practical experiments made
in our state through tho efforts of the
chemical department of agriculture of
the state university, and in the growing
of beets for the Grand Island and Nor
folk factories the fact has been fully and
completely demonstrated that the natur
al conditions of soil and temperature of
our state are superior to that of any
other country for the production of
sugar beots having a higher percentage
of pure sugar.
That beets of a greater per cent of
saccharine richness can be raised here
at much le?s cost per acre than in the
great sugar belts of Germany and
France; that the sugar beet is affected
less by extreme dry weather than any
other crop.
That to grow beets successfully for
Bugar production requires a thorough
preparation of the soil by plowing and
subsoiling to a depth of from eight to
ten inches and pulverizing the same
thoroughly with harrow and roller;- the
planting of good seed at the proper time
of the year and thorough cultivation
through the growing season.
Great care should be exercised in se
lecting seed for planting, of which there
are many kinds. Some varieties do bet
ter in certain soils and climates than
others, and it would probably be well to
take advantage of the experiments al
ready made in that line by Prof. Nichol
son, of the stato university, who stands
ready to give valuable suggestions as to
the proper kind of seed for planting in
different localities in tho state in order
to obtain the best Jesuits possible.
We aro of tho opinion that the north
half of Lincoln county' can obtain and
support two good sugar factories; one
on the Birdwood of sufficient capacity
for reducing the beots to raw Bugar and
one largo factory at this city with suffi
cient capacity for working up tho beets
grown alon the Union Pacific railroad
in this and adjoining counties and for
refining the raw sugar from both facto
ries. In order to obtain this great in
dustry united effort will have to be made
by our citizens in the direction of boot
culture, and when we can assure tho
manufacturers that we can furnish their
factories with good material to feed
them to their full capacity wo will no
doubt be able to obtain tho factories.
For the purpose of united effort in that
direction your delegates earnestly rec
ommend that an organization to bo
known as "The Lincoln County Beet
Sugar Association" be effected in this
county as soon as possible and that all
tho farmers of tho county bo especially
invited to aid in the organization of such
association and to interest themselves
upon the subject of beet culture and in
the establishment of one or more sugar
factories within our county. We -also
urge upon all of our business men and
citizens generally the necessity of united
action in this great enterprise that prom
ises so much prosperity for the people o
Lincoln county.

In a late issue of The Tribute
the editor said that a farmer had
reported twenty-eight cars of wheat
being shipped from this point. The
statement was true and the ship
ments continued until all the wheat
in this neighborhood had been
marketed. The grain was shipped
principallp to the Chicago market,
and the farmers were very well
pleased with the shipping accom
modations, as it relieved them of jtheX
tedious task of carting the grain tp
North Platte. The question of
establishing an elevator and other
business houses at this point is still
being agitated, and will uridbubted

tion witb thirty signatures to the.
new ditch syndicate asking that a
town site be laid out at this point..
An opposition party has started a
petition and are trying to induce
those who, signed our petition to
sign theirs. We have several good
and reliable men who are ready to
embark in business as soon as the
town site is laid out. The opposing
party have had a site laid out for
two years but as yet we see no im
provements. We expect to have
quite a town before the expiration
of two years after the site has been
svrveyed.

that the fair name of Willard haft

as to entitle it to be stated as one of
the "four special points" in Lincoln

executive farmer ( ?) John Powers
would harangue the practical farm

the case, and a due announcement
that Powers would appear was pub
lished. There were probably other
causes than the fair name of Wil

select this place as being an'6spec-:

The expense of raising beets in
France and Germany is from 60 to
an- acre, in Germany the beets
contain about thirteen per cent and
in France about eleven per cent
sogar while .Nebraska beets contain
trom tnirteen to eighteen per cent
sugar and the cost of raising beets
in Nebraska is said to average about
$15 per acre. The land in Germanv
on which beets are raised is worth
from $500 to $1000 per acre and in
Nebraska from $10 to $75 per acre.
If beets are raised with profit m
