INDUSTRY IN NEBRASKA IMPROVING Sugar Beet Culture Recelves' Muéh Atten- tlon at the Institute—Platte Valley Soll Particulary Adapted to that Crop. 7"\ FREMONT, March 3.—(Speclal to The Bee.) —The evening session of the Farmers insti- tute yesterday was fraught with very much interest, and the success of the morning and afternoon sessions talled out a very large and very attentive audience. The exercises commenced with selections by Kendrick’s orchestra, which were loudly applauded. M. Steele of the Norfolk sugar factory ad- dressed the meeting on the “Sugar Beet." Ho declared that the raising of that vegeta- blo in Dodge county had ceased to be an ex- eriment, from the fact that the Standard Cattle company had demonstrated beyond cavil that it could be raised as a farm crop with as great profit as any other, and at present prices at far greater profit than any of the staple crops now being cultivated The farmers' interests were in a rotation of crops and diversified industries, he thought. The sugar beet was pre-eminently adapted to the rotation required, because its cultivation propares the ground for corn or oats as the cultlvation of no other profitable crop could, What the farmers want in this era of superabundance of labor is what will employ the greatest number of people at remunerative wages and he saw in the sugar ndustry the desired object He then took the blackboard and strated the cost of raising su acro as follo Plowing, $1.60 nts; floating, 10 cents; s 5 work, $14; demon- beets per harrow- This was figured on a basis of ten tons per acre as was reaiized in the neighbor- Tood of the Norfolk factory, but he con- tended that as the Standard Cattle company had raised sixteen tons to the acre on 500 ac he thought ten tons hardly a fair estimate. But at ten tons the net profit for the farmer could be safely figured at per acre in the neighborhood of the faos At sixteen tons to the acre the net it would be $47 per acre or more than five times what could be realized from any other fa crg He suggested that each farmer of 160 acres of land should set apart 10 acres for beets, bulld a summer shanty on It and house a man and his wife to cultivate the crop, and then increase the area as the farmer consid- ered it profitable or desirable. His remarks were very entertaining and highly appre- clated Cornet and plano solos were then rendered by Prof. Preston and Miss Stewart of the normal, Miss Eckerman, Miss Christensen and Miss Stewart and a recitation by Miss Hubbard of Irvington J. B. Wolf of Lincoln then read a paper on the “Farmer's Hog from a Breeder's Standpoint.” He took the position that hog ralsing the sheet anchor of the farmer that more money had been ade by enterprise than by any other branch of agriculture, and the wore car taken in breeding the botter the results, H argued that the high prices paid for ca fully bred hogs was money well invested Quite a number of questions were asked and considerablo discussion indulged in to the general interest. Jacob Beck of was and th Blair took the floor on “Life on the Farm,” and he convulsed th house by his apt ilustrations and happy hits. He argued from the Henry George standpoint, and claimed that every person born upon the earth had an inalienable ght to ground to dwell upon SATURDAY'S SESSION The Institute was coavened early this morning, and J. R. Cantlen, who was on the program yesterday but was not present, respguded with an excellent paper on *‘Edu- cational Organization for the Upholding of Agricultural interests.” He commenced by drawing a comparison between the farmer of the present and of a quarter of a century ago, before they had begun to organize for mutual protection and dimprovement. He contended that the Grange, the Alliance and kindred organizations had, outside of the political aspect, been of great benefit to the farmer. They had evolved from the automatic period and were acting and think- ing for themselyes. His paper was specially in praise of the Grange against the asperi- ties of Secretary Morton, whom he scored severely. Prof. W. H. Clemons of the normal on “Farming as Compared with Other Indus- tries”” recelved much attention. He ad- mitted that he was no farmer and yet many pleasant years of his life had been shent upon the farm. In his comparisons he said he did not consider it necessary to go back to Adam and Eve or even to cross the waters to Victoria’s domains. As fair a sample of successful farming could be found right here in Dodge county as in any coun- try under the light of the sun, and the same might be said of other Industries. He took them up and compared them from the stand. point of independence, happiness and ulti- mate success, and found that the comparison was greatly in the farmer’s favor. Prof. F. W. Card of the State university on ‘“Horticulture'” was very well received in the afternoon. He gave his experience with small fruit culture, the mistakes usually made in setting, pruning and cultivating and noted the adverse influences with which small frult had to contend. He was not inclined to speak In the interest of any special varieties, but drew a line on those that had proven unproductive. “Dairy Bred Cows for the Dairy” was then the subject of a paper by Prof. Bassett, secretary of the Nebraska Dalrymen's asso- clation. He sald that there w a time when it was thought Nebraska would never be a dairy state. But that was when the Nebraska cow with a bell on sought her food from the wild prairie weeds and grasses, and may be sald that at that time the tame grasses were not thought to be adapted to this state, but both of these positions had been proven fallaclous and now th 18 no butter in the country that s better than that made in Nebraska. It had been a difficult matter to reach this stage as any amount of popular prejudice had to be overcome. Popularity makes the market for but well as for any other commodity. The greatest dairy exhibit of the world wa made at the World's fair, in which the world competed. There were at least 2,000 exhibits and it was decided unanimously by the judges that Nebraska butter was the most hardy and of better texture than any of its competitors, and in point of quality was not exceeded by any state and only equaled by one. The cream of Nebraska was also pronounced par excellent and it was only equaled by one other exhibit HARMONY conclusion he wanted it distinctly understood that he believed that intelligent and earnest farming paid, and he believed that the out- look was encouraging to the farmer who holds f. sity of Agriculture West of the Missouri,” was considered in a most excel- lent paper by R. M. Allen of the Standard Cattle company. He praised the soil of east- ern Nebraska and claimed that when irriga- tion schemes now contemplated in the west- ern part be carried out the whole state would be among the most desirable and pro- ductive land in the country. He advocated small farms, thoroughly cultivated and conductedf with a careful attention to rotation of crops, as the most de- sirable and remunerative. He re- viewed the present prices of cereals and claimed that the sugar beet was really the keystone of the arch of Nebraska agri- culture. He depricated the efforts of Ne- braska congressmen in their attempt to give the industry a black eye. His experiment with the sugar beet had been extremely sat- isfactory and in his opinion it mattered not what action congress might take on the tariff, this soil would finally be utilized for the production of sugar. Prof. Lawrence Bruner on ‘“Insects in was interesting. He had illus- A portrayal upon canvas of a picture of every insect he considered He divided the Nebraska bugs into about enty-five different families and his char- terization of their mechanism and habits was exceedingly interesting. The evening session brought out R. Marshall of Arlington on ‘“‘Breeding Feeding for Profit”” M. M. Coad on Horse,” Mrs. A, M. v's Part in Agriculty Does Farming Pay, if Not Why Not?' by W. H Dech of_Ithica, materially added to the in- terest of" one of the most interesting meet- ings In behalf of agricultu ver held in central Nebraska.

O'NEILL, Neb., March 3.—(Special Tele- gram to he Bee.)—The case which was brought against ex-County Clerk Hazlett for fees which it claimed he owed the county, occupled the attention of the court yeste y and the day before.

Whit- more of Valley, was the next featur Ho said that the deep and lively interest taken by the farmers of this state was generally understood and appreciated. He realized that politics were scrupulously s m the deliberations of the institute ght they could not all view any matter alike, but the greatest difference was on pols nd relig and as neither of those fons could concern the science of fari ing it was perfectly right that they be care- fully excluded.
