Crops Are
Worth More
Washington, D. C., Feb. 23.—Ad-
vance reports of the Secretary of
Agriculture? show that the total
value of farm products of t lie
United States is below that of 1910.
The estimate for 1911 is ,|iased on
the returns of the Thirteenth Fed-
eral Census and is $8,417i000,000
while the total value of farm pro-
ducts in lit in was $8,094,000,0iin
or $277,000,000 more than 1911.
This loss is aceountedi for by the de-
crease in prices of animal products
and animals sold and slaughtered.
Dairy co\v are the only farm ani-
mals that show an increase in price
in 1911 over 1910 and eggs, wool,
butu-r and poultry have likewise suf-
fered in farm prices during the
year.
On the other hand, the crops of
1911 are worth more than those of
1910, the estimate of farm value of
all crops in 1911. was $5,504,000,-
000, a gain over 1910 of $44,000,-
<U o.
Farm prices of all crops are high-
er in 1911 than in 1910 with the ex-
ception of cotton, cotton seed and
flax seed. With the exception of
these crops the farm products of tha
United Slates are the most valuable
ever produced.
Texas Sugar
Beet Farms
Austin. Texas, Feb. 22.—The Wis-
consin Sugar Ueet Company is mak-
ing arrangements to build three sug-
ar beet factories In Texas. Amaril-
lo, Plain view and this city are the
locations selected. Each plant will
coBt between $1,000,000 and $1,-
500,000.
Representatives of the company
have recently been in the state look-
ing over the field and And that the
irrigated lands will produce a sugar
beet that is almost perfect in quali-
ty. It is claimed the beet, raised
here is far above the average quali-
ty of beet raised in the Northern
states.
This industry will give the farm-
ers a chance to diversify their
crops, according to modern
methods and receive a larger income
from their best acreage than any
other crop they could raise.
Death of
B. C. Smith
B. C. Smith of near Westminster,

He professed religion in 1S66,
and joined the Missionary Baptist
church, and had lived a consistent
Christian life since that time.
He joined the Masonic lodge in
1880, and was a member of New
