THE SUGAR INDUSTRY THE TRUST AND WEATHER WORK TOGETHER To Ds'troy the Nebraska Industry Our Own Fitult 1( TJiey Do Home Incluatry Mrwt le I'ractlceil a Well Trenched I'roeot Couditlon ami 1U Cuuse. The business men's excursion to the eiig-ar factory at Norfolk on Friday last hat far more than the usual signifi cance of such events, not only In th'? representative character of Us make up', but In the underlying motives of the trip Itself. It was in fact iiothinR nhort of a practical endeavor o Kolve the question whether "home industry" Is ever to mean more than a pretty hrase that rounds very welt at ban quets "and public meetinKS. but has lit tle force with the merchant and hou.se-kec-ver who are the moKt potent factors in the development of the real idea con veyed by it. It Is not to be nuppowed for a moment that the all-rearliii: eye of the sugar trust has not from the out net watched intently the rlee and growth In the middle wtt of an Indus try th'a-t niuxt In time, if properly fufctered, beeoma a dangerous rival in a territory over which they rnlRht other wise have full control: for it must be remembered that barring the HUKar factory at lhl, Utah, the 'two Ne braska plants are the only refineries within the limits of the enormous trl unifle formed by the three great stroiig iK.lda of the sugar trust. New York, New Orleans and Kan Francisco. Ne brfttfka, therefore, has a double )-lc-rtunity she can produce first, all the fcU(?ar that her population consumes and after satisfying home demands push out In three directions towards the shipping points Ju;-t mentioned; 01. ly, however, if she defends her own. liiie present year is the first fclnee the iwtiibiishme.nt of the industry In this state that the two factories have had prospectH of running to full capacity for the maximum period of operation, which Is four to live months, but no .ouiier were they ready to put their product on the mark-t than they found themselves confronted by the fact that the trust was making capital of the local prejudice "that alnudy existed esralnst the home product, thereby frustrating one of the chief object of the state in protecting the Industry. It Is useless to argue that such a prejudice Is unreasonable and let it go at that for any great progress would thn be, impossible. Seeing is believing, t i most people, and It needed Just such , uxi optical demonstration os has Just bn made to convince the press and the merchant first and through them, us the great mediums, the consumers, that whatever fallings any of the Ne braska sugar may have had In Us early days It Is not today excelled or always ffiualled by the output of the great re fineries on the three coasts. Therefore vh-n we can produce right here within the four boundaries of our state mor sugar tlKan we can consume and of the viry flnust quality possible, of what value fat the motto "I'atronlze Home Industrie." if Nebrai'kans till their minds with prejudice and use an. out fide product white Colorado, Dakota, Icwa and Kansas welcome gladly the western article and are making every effort to establish In their own limits heme source of supply. One serious fibetarle has been and still Is the belief of he average person that beet sugar is different from other sugar Rome go ing bo far as to insist that It bears the mme relation to the cane product that tdeomargarlnf dors to butter, in short thai It Is a.n inferior article, has a "vegetable taste," etc. Nothing, however, could be mor Bbiitird ugar can be only isugar; it is a chemical product and munt bo the ta:ne no matter whence its origin and the sooner the public mind Is relieved of any other theory, the Ijetter. Ho far as the quality Is concerned It needed but a half hour spent At the Norfolk factory, watching the brown "masse cult" spun quickly into white sugar and still moist conveyed to the granu lator there to be dried, screened, and then whirled like driven snow .,ito the gaping mouths of the packs, to con vlixe every man who took part 'Fri day' outing that nothing could be fir.-r, in grain or color than Nebraska sugar, as the following resolution.-! drawn up the same day will attest: "We. the business men of Omaha, Lin coln, Council Hluffs.SlouX City anil Fre mont, hereby tender our grateful ac knowledgements to the Fremont, Elk horn & Missouri Valley Hallroad com pany and oIMcIuIa and to the manage ment of Ulm Norfolk bet sugar factory for the courteyy by which we have been brought into close touch with and more liceurati? knowledge of the beet Miliar product of Nebraska and the west, we repegnize in the beet sugar Industry a potent agency for the upbuilding and encouragement of this tu-niun of tin country with soil and climate thorough ly adapted to beet-growing, we express it bh our belief anil Judgment that the future Is full of hope for this biiWiie.-s In Nebraska and adjoining states. "Whereas, We ar now producing only about iinn-foui all the quantity of sugar consumed by lis citixcris, It f"l biWH that there is yet vatt opixirtiinity for the Investment of capital before the nif-a-iure of our production reaches that .f our consumption.

The later plantings were also seriously af-. feetenl aaid as a oonseiiuence neltheV factory could ctunt on enough ripe beets to enable them to turn a wheel uni.il the 1st of October or nearly a month later than they had anticipated, and when they did start it was si.nply working from hand ito mouth on ac count of the slowness of the crop In ir.aturing. As a matter of facttheOran 1 Island plant found Itself absolutely unabU? to obtain enough beets of the required purity to keep it going from day to day and was compelled to clos down for ovr week on that account. It muxt be mereioned 'here1 that the purity of the beet Is a most important point to the manufacturer and too often overlooked by the grower for It ! not only an Indication of ripeness but represents ease of extraction. In other words while only a certain per centage of the sugar actually present In the beets can be recovered by the moot approved methods, such per centage is very greatly reduced If the purity falls below KO. There is another cause also to which the unfavorable condition of the crop may be attrib uted and that Is that owing to the very severe drouths of the past few years the sub-soil was too dry to enable the beets to develop much until after the summer rains and then they grew so rapidly that they became weakened through their efforts to attain full size lu less than the natural time. It may be, too, that our soil is larking In cer tain properties that the beet requires to Insure proper richness and which had they been present would have enabled this year's crop to pull throughln better shape. This can of course be easily determined by analysis, and such ele ments a are lacking be supplied arti ficially. If uch lessons have to be learned the sooner the experience Is gained the better. It was hoped when the trouble began th. the beets would by del iylng harvesting ripen sutticieuuly to enable the entire crop to reach the required standard, but In 'this there has been further disappointment and It 'Is now certain that many of the beets will never reach that point. As long as there are beets, however, testing not less than 12 and SO the factories will continue to receive them and pay " a ton for them and when such beets are exhausted they will discontinue work tug under the bounty law and nropen Jo resume the low grade beets (not 1ch than ten per cent and 7l per cent.) This actrion Is taken through a desire to meet the farmers half way in this try ing time, but as it Is dltllcult as well as unprofitable, to work up low beets and to reduce the price at all necessitates foregoing the bounty, the factories can not afford to pay more than $2.50 per ton for such beets. Of course this Im poses a hardship o n many who have counted absolutely on markKinji their crop t a fixed price but in a time when the disaster Is wo general It Is not fair to Insist that the manufacturers should bear the whole brunt of leases caused by forces over wiiiieh they 'ha e no control. They wiil carry out their contract with tho farmer to the letter, but no ane busi ness nvan could for a moment think of purchasing at double price thousands of tons of beets that are far below what be is obligated by contract to accept, and the aweptanee of whle,h would en tail Um him a tremendous loss. The assumption that the factories can not work up the ISM crop is ridiculous, eaoh plant having a capacity of about 12,000 tons a month, whidh would enable thrwi to slice every beet In the tftate by Feb-i-.ary 1. The disaster is simply one of those uriforseen things that can be at tributed to nothing but natural causew and that the best of liuman forethought cannot prevent. One good reason would fcivablo everyone to recoup leases made this year and as It Is understood that the f;ur..ol-s 'will give preference in making conti'icts next year to such per sons it would seem the proper course to make tho Iv-st of the situation now and pivllt in Tie future by vmt experi ences. That Nebraska. is naturally adapted to the culture of the pugar beet 1 1 1 e re can be no q u es t l.ri a n d t h u 1 n d 1 1 t ry should not be allowed to languish be cause of one unfavorable season.

H.V a strange coincidence two repre sentatives of the wealthiest of Ameri san families families that used to be antagonistic, but now are friendly tailed for Europe from Now York re cently, with the purpose practically of expatriating1 themselves. William Waldorf Astor had been iu New York sity just a week. iSonicthinfr that Mr. Astor said or did caus'd the report to be spread about the clubs aud in business cir cles that when ho departed from America lie departed for pood, and very likely would never return, ex cepting under stress of business ;.trapement. Exactly what tho chief Influence which led to this determina tion of expatriation was nobody seems to know. At one time It was thought to bo anger at his political failure. Hut that is impossible, since his failure to bo elected member of congress occurred some time befora he was nominated minister to Italy by President Arthur. The reasons probably are partly social and partly family ones. Mr. Astor is said to ba ery much pleased with his experience ns a newspaper magrazino publisher, and stories were told of liis intention very greatly to enlarge his editorial Investments. William IC Vanderbilt, who sailed on the same day will, it is believed, bpend hereafter very much of his time in Europe. He doe not propose to expatriate himself so completely as Mr. Astor does, but he lias iriveu over his New York and Newport houses to the use of his wife, has settled a large sum upon her and it is now clear that there is to be voluntary if not legal separation, lie reserves for himself luxurious and yet after all compara tively modest apartments in the Metropolitan club, keeping them year in and year out for his use whenever he huppens to visit New York.
