Encouraging reports were received from precinct officers and from every indication they reported that the usual Democratic majorities will be maintained in the coming election.

This payment, together with the initial payment of $4.75 at the time of the beet harvest, and the Government payment made from process taxes collected of averagedly $1.90, makes a total of $7.04 i paid for the 1937 crop. Under the provisions of the . Agricultural Conservation Act an additional 39c was paid for compliance with the requirements of this act, which when included, makes the total of $7,431 for the beet crop. With but very ft w exceptions, beet growers of this complied with the Agricultural Act and received the payment. According to the terms of the contract payment for the beets is based upon two principal conditions. First, the sugar content of the beet. Second, the net price received In the sale of the sugar. The tonnage last year over the district averaged 13 tons per acre. Pertaining to the present crop, it is gratifying to find thus far in the harvest that the tonnage will probably exceed that of last year by two tons o the acre. The sugar content it appears may be as good. Weather conditions are very important in the natural process of ripening sugar beets with higher sugar content. Succeeding the very valuable rain of the past week, beets will temporarily decline In sugar, but it is expected that chilly nights and warm days will create the condition which will be conducive of making good sugar content. The harvest is about 30 per cent completed. It is estimated that about 110,000 tons remain to be harvested. This tonnage, 110,000 tons, is the same as the total tonnage of 1937. There is ample help for harvesting the crop as rapidly as farmers want to do. The higher price for topping and loading beets has encouraged many men of our own localities to be Interested In beet topping, and also brought men from many other parts of the country. Good roads and trucks and ample topping labor has practically made the ability to plow out beets fast enough, the limit of the rate of harvest. In the peak days so far about 8,000 tons have been harvested per day. It is expected following the storm with the very splendid conditions for harvesting now existing, that peak days will reach as much as 10,000 tons per day. It Is of Interest to observe that with, the facilities and means of harvesting beets developed and perfected in the last ten or fifteen years, the rate of harvesting has very greatly increased and In consequence, a beet crop now is, on the average, in the ground making sugar about 2 weeks shorter time than previous to 1925. The disappointing result of this fact is that sugar content is averagedly considerably lower than In that previous period, Inasmuch as beets make sugar faster through the month of October and early November, than in any other period. However, the general conditions of harvesting the crop are better than is those years when the harvest period ran into the later autum. dlj-tri- ct Portage Postmaster Attends National Convention At Kentucky at Portage, home from a retunied just twelve-da- y trip t Louisville, KenE.
