George and "Al" Hoover and Elmer Berrv and families, who left this locality early in the spring for Colorado andf located at Iliff, that state, have recently moved to Greeley. The trade between the Browns and Trego and Sheik for the Btock on the former's ranch in McPhereon county, which the latter has rented, failed to mature, and they sold the same a few days ago to J. R.

Evans, contains some interest ing facts relative to sugar beets, and we therefore give it space in our columns: Lincoln, May 6th, 1893. Brother Bare: On the train from Grand Island to Lincoln with H. Huxsmann, boss farmer for the Oxnards sugar plant at Grand Island, a gentleman of years of experience in Germany, as well as Ne braska, I got the following: He tells me that in 1891 he contracted for beets as follows: Sutton, Go acres; Alexandiia, 55 acres; North Bend, 35 acres. In 1895 he has contracted as fol lows: Sutton, 550 acres; Alexandria, 650 acres; North Bend, 485 acres; total ; 1685; in other places this year 2115, mak ing a total contract this year of 3800 acres. Has refused over 600 acres, hav ing all they can handle. Beets should be planted in rows 18 inches apart. Twenty pounds of seed to the acre should be planted. Seed will cost 20 cents a pound for parties not contracting with them. He suggests that deep planting and plenty of manure was all that was required to insure a high percentage of sugar. He also said that German beet sugar growers were better posted on what Nebraska is doing in this line than we were at home, and that there is nothing they fear so much as our development in um nne. ne thinks a farmer ought not to plant more j than five acres the first year, and tbati 11 1 i 1 I J T 1 n- I me oeeu crop suuuiu uo ruiuieu auu uuu planted on the same ground more than two years in succession. By deep plow ing and plenty of manure the ground is in splendid shape for any other crop. Plant the beets as near the house as possible, as an hour in the evening or morning can be put in weeding and thinning often when if far from the house it would not be done. The crop yields cash fully thirty dollars an acre above expenses and is marketed before corn can be realized upon. That tho farmers in localities where the beets have been raised are extending this crop is evidence that it pays them. As this gentleman is authority, and has had more beets offered him than he can handle, his statements can be taken as truthful. Mr. Huxsmann remarked that the people in this country, usually quick to see a good thing, seem slow to take hold of this branch of farming. He says it is not necestary to bring Ger many here to see us, but that it would be a good thing for us to see Germany. The talk with him was entertaining and instructive to me. He says if the Platte valley and Nebraska in general would do what she ought there would be a refinery centrally located in less than five yers. If Mr. Huxsmann could get a contract he would start a beet seed farm and that he could grow the seed better here than in Germany he has no doubt. Yours truly, . J. E. Evans, GRAND -AT THE- THE WOMAN'S BELIEF C&RPS. Lincoln, Neb., April 20 . To the Edi tor of the State Journal. I see by the last issue of the Campfire that a circle of the Ladies of the G. A.JK. was organized at North Platte and in the article describ ing the meeting is this statement, to which I take exceptions, "Tb.is order is a part of the G. A. R. Now, the only official part of the Grand Army of the Republic and auxiliary thereto is the Woman's Relief Corps, organized at Denver, Colo., in 1883; and all female relatives of the soldiers, sail ors and marines of the late war and all loyal women are eligible to membership therein and their help and aid is needed in caring for our indigent comrades who get no pension or a mere pittance from the government who promised to care for him aud his if he would shoulder bis rifle and stand between his. country and its foes. All our relatives and sympa thizers should rally under the standard of our only auxiliary, the Woman's Re lief corps, whose doors swing outward ever, and always to welcome the mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, sweethearts and any true, loyal women, all of whom can freely work under the rules and regulations of this order that was born Star Clothing House.

Mail orders promptly attended to. when treason first raised its fraticidal hand to destroy this nation, then woman took up the duty and privilege of shar ing the labors of the hour. At homo they cared for the business and tho farm, reared the children, formed socie ties to furnish supplies for the hospitals, and delicacies for the sick and wounded; they worked in the "Christian commis sion," "sanitary commission and as army nurses went to the front; in the hospital and on the battlefield they were the ministering angels to the wounded, sick and dying. When the war closed and the mighty host of citizen soldiery returned to the vocations of peace, many were wholly unfitted to resume the wanted occupa tions of former years. Crippled, wound ed, disabled by disease, without means to provide for their families, they found woman still faithful to their interests, who nobly worked for years till the eighteenth annual national encampment of the G. A. R. "Resolved that we cor dially hail the organization of the Na tional Woman's Relief corps aud extend our greetings to them. We return our warmest thanks to the loyal women of the land for their earnest support and encouragement, and bid them God speed in their patriotic work." The status of this organization was thus at once estab lished. Side by side with the comrades works the Woman's Relief corps; visiting the sick, caring for the widow and orphan,' inculcating lessons of patriotism in tho hearts and minds of the young, assisting in Memorial day exercises, and in all things striving to prove worthy of the trust conferred. Comrades, our time is growing short and our wives are growing old by our hearthstones. The "Loyal Ladies," "Ladies of the G.A.R,'!"Ladies League," and Daughters of Veterans should all unite with our auxiliary and save the expense of halls, fuel, ligh, stationery, state and national conventions, (nearly all of which comes from the pockets of husbands and fathers) and devote their sole energies to our veteran comrades who will soon be no more and those con dition demands their fostering care on the downward slope to the lowly mound soon to be their last resting place I know that Past Department Com mander Church Howe by his unadvised and hasty action at the encampment at Hastings may have led these worthy ladies to believe that they were made a part of tho G. A. R. but no department officer can do anything of this sort, only our national organization can legislate on a question of this kind, and any recognition given at Hastings does not carry any weight beyond tho personal preferences of Comrade Howe as an in dividual member of tho G. A. R. Yours in P. C. and L., Brad P. Cook Honorary Member of the Department of Nebraska Woman's Relief Corps. HOW'S THIS!
