The Coldest of the Winter
Commencing with Saturday
night
and ending with Tuesday this part of
the country together with much of the
west and northwest suffered the cold
est snap of the winter The thermom
eter was below zero on Sunday all day
Monday was the same only more so ten
below zero being recorded Early Tues
day morning the thermometer struck
low water mark for the winter being
sixteen below at three oclock in the
morning
The only citizens who have been able
to put up anything but a puckered up
facial expression for several days past
aro the coal dealers and the plumbers
both of whom have been kept busy as
beavers this week
Reports from the northwest indicate
that tho loss of stock will be much
heavier than for ten years past on the
range
The mountains however are full of
snow and the irrigationist is contented
and happy with a prospect of a success
ful year before him
In Addition to That Contracted
The Tribune learns that quite a num
ber of farmers will plant small patches
of sugar beets for feeding purposes
This is a wise decision Sugar beets
make splendid feed and as a crop for
feed no more certain seed can be planted
Every farmer in Redwillow county
should plant a few acres
Indigestion Causes
Catarrh of tine

For many years it has been supposed that
Catarrh of the Stomach caused indigestion
and dyspepsia but the truth is exactly the
opposite Indigestion causes catarrh Re
peated attacks of indigestion inflames the
mucous membranes lining the stomach and
exposes the nerves of the stomach thus caus
ing the glands to secrete mucin instead of
the juices of natural digestion This is
called Catarrh of the Stomach

Industry In Lincoln County
For many years it had been known
that the soil and climate of Lincoln
County are well adapted to tho success
ful culture of sugar beets but it was
not until tho year 1900 that the -first
sugar beets wero raised for actual use
in the manufacture of sugar when
acres wero grown under con
tract with tho American Beet Sugar
Company for their Grand Island factory
These proved a success and wero pro
fitable to tho growers In 1901 the acre
age planted to sugar beets increased to
250 acres and in 1902 to nearly 1200
acres
The beets grown so far have averaged
16 per cent sugar and many lots have ex
ceeded 19 per cent Tho yield runs from
ten to twenty tons per acre and will aver
age fifteen tons
Tho cost of producing the beets has
run from 22 to 30 per acre varying in
accordance with the conditions of the
ground and experience of the grower
This cost includes rent of land labor
seed and all expense nronerlv charge
able to tho crop
Tho beets are grown under a contract
with the factory fixing the minimum
price at 1 per ton for all beets running
14 per cent or less of sugar and 25 cents
per ton additional for each per cent
above 14 per cent on board the cars at
nearest railroad station
The result has been that the Lincoln
County grower has received about 450
per ton and in some cases over 5 per
ton for his beets and has realized a net
profit on each acre over the cost of pro
duction of from 20 to 50 per acre
Heretofore the American Beet Sugar
Company has been tho only buyer ship
ping the beets to their Grand Island and
Norfolk factories but the field has prov
en so attractive that the Standard Beet
Sugar Company who operate the factory
at Ames Nebr are competing for the
crop of 1903 And the experience of the
growers has been so satisfactory that
tho acerage to be planted will be more
than doubled
Lincoln County in 1902 ranked third
in the state in the production of sugar
beets being outranked only by Dodge
and Hall Counties each of which now
has sugar factories
From present prospects this county
will rank first in 1903 and will secure
the location of a beet sugar factory in
time to utilize the crop of 1904
There is enough beet land in the
Platte Valley in this county to grow
beets enoueh to sunnly three laree
in
gar factories
