to M. F. Harrington, attorney for Wm.
Hudson, the reward,of,tlftO qfl^ed.byi
that lodge for the recovery of the body'
of Barrett Scott. After the body was
found, the lodge was teady and trilling
to pay the reward, but were not certain
who to pay it to as there were two
claimants. There were about twenty
five persons present when the body was
found, and they claim the reward should
be prorated, but Hudson, who dis
covered the body, claims the entire
reward. The case was taken to the
county court and Hudson won. The
lodge was then ready to pay the reward
to Hudson, but the intervenors appeared
and carried the case to the district court
where it was tried twice, Hudson receiv
ing the verdict in both trials, The Odd
Fellows offeree! a reward of $100 at the

ried through the courts together, but we

FACTS ABJM CHICORY
A Great Money Maker For Thoee
BETTER THAN 25-CENT CORN.
The Future Greet Crop for Thie Country, et a
Rome Market end Feotory. i,.
' The Frontier desires, in ell earnest*
ness, to cell the ettention of the termers
end others interested in the growing of
crops in this codntfr' to the* fact that
there is a very strong probability that
the chicory factory. no\y located ,he^
will be taken down and moved to some
other point. • f
It also wishes tooaUtheir attention to
the t feet that if the factory is taken
away from here it closes a market uythn
farmers for what we believe,, from be
investigation we have made, would
prove a very profitable crop for them to'
cultivate. In substantiation of our^ be
liefs in this we refer to the further feet
that at many other pieces throughout
the state farmers and business men to
gether are offering inducements for
the building of factories, thus creating
markets such as we have and such as wp
are about to let slip through our fingei^
through a lack of Interest.’ " „ |.
we submjt afew facts v«»fl, Ug
ures gleaned from those having to do
with chicory raising during the past few
aeasonB, and we think that a careful pe
rusal of them will convince the most
skeptical farmer that it. would he- well
worth his while to try a few acres dur
ing the coming season, or in other words
that there is-something in it and a good
thing,, too, it a little work and energjr
are joined together to makeit a OucessSi
Ninety acres adjoining the sputh line
of the town was planted to chicory last
year and the yield was approximately 4}
tons to the acre. The amount paid by
the chicory company for the yield -of
this 90 acres was about $3,100. The
cost of cultivating the crop, including
$3 per acre rent for the land and all
work hired done, amounted to about
$3,400, leaving a profit of $700, or nearly
$8 per acre. What other product ot the
farm has netted the farmer $8 per acre
this year? Corn at 40 bushels to the
acre, 13 cents pef bushel er even 35
cents per bushel, would not be as profit?
able as chicory raising. Neither would
oats, wheat or rye.. Then it must be
remembered that 4J ions to the acre is a
small yieldi '♦.'Mr. Bezel man, *bf■ O’Neill,
informs us that he raised 13 tons to the
acre. Farmers near Fremont last year
raised 10 tons to the acre, and it was
their drat experience with it, and so Well
pleasedwfere they With the result that
they wish to increase the acreage this
year. Others around North Bend raised
8 tons to (he acre, so that it fa lair to as
sume that the yield here was a minimum
one. It should also be remembered
that the parties working llm 90 acrei
were dbligecl to^hire kll theiPWork dom i
whereas a farmer -with a family pouh
easily rtakeoare; of 5 or 10 acres withou
the outlay M a 'cent for labdr.'Thisj
also, pay $3 per acre rent^fof ttii
land, which is an expense that no farmei
around here need to have._ _
Another favorable feature of the cull
tivation of chicory is that there is a
manufacturing company waiting ready
to take it from the.producer as soon as
practicable after ;lt is harvested, at aij
agreed price per ton according to a con*
tract that they „;$uter into with thy
farmer wbe*, be g^-bis^seedf "Tbi^
price, we undetwputd ,1s W^5&’-^etlon,j
and there is no egsoisnoon made as tcj
grade or quality as is the case with suga^
beets. A market "is therefore assured!
Incidentally we might say that we are
reliably informed t|i'at farmers near Tilt
den arp willing to raise chicory and
make contracts to do so and sell foij
87.50 per ton and pay cost of trass porta-i
tion to the ^Q’NeiU factory out of this
price. j
; j Ti>e ‘ qhi^ory industry; has assumed
large proportions throughout rthe stafej
and it bids fair to outstrip the beet sugar
industry that has done so much foij
Norfolk and other towns and put so'
many good dollars into the .pockets of;
industrious farmers adjacent* to those
places. Monied men have been attracted
by the opportunities for safe investment
that this industry has furnisbfcd/ehd we;
uow flnd Omaha and othef tqwns vieing
with each other to secure the establish
ment of what factories will be put up
this year, or, in other words* these
towns are making strong efforts to se
cure for their farmers and their com
munities • what we are liable, to lose!
tbrongh our lack of realization Of the!
importance of the enterprise.
To the business men of . O’Neill we
wish to say that the Chicory Company;
iy paying out 91,000nef unontp for tybpr
at the factory, and has paid out up
wards of 910,000 since the beginning of
the last season. If the factory is closed
and taken away from here some of our
people who now find profitable employ
ment in It will go, and thla means a de
crease in our population, which small
though it may be, means a decreased
demand for1 the gooda we have to sell
and the home demand for the products
of the farm.
Some of our farmers may fear a dry
season, but in this connection we would
suggest that land and water can be had
under the little irrigation ditch for <3
per acre or one-fourth of the crop de
livered at the factory. This la a very
reasonable price, and with sufficient
moisture assured a good profitable crop
could be growp,' , We would, like to see
the farmers oi Bolt county, take hold of
chic'ory ratsing'in earnest, as we believe
it to be1 the -mdst profitable crop that
L’
can be grown, taking into consideration
the atppu^t; i jOf, labor necessary to prp
!•> pvrf "ISXl Ofi-i " i
The Company is not at all partlcul
whether any chicory is grown In Holt
county or whether they leave thbir fab-1
tory here, as thdr have all the acreage
they iyant >nd mqre than they want*
pledged this year in other places, but as
the factory . js here if they are assured(
to
that there wlll be enough roots here
