GET THE BEST THE SECOND DEPUTATION REPORTS. They Also Bring Glowing Accounts of the Prosperity in Michigan Owing to the Beet Sugar \Industry. c€ ‘The farmers in the county of ‘Waterâ€" loo are fast becoming interested in the establishment of a beet sugar factory in the town of Berlin. m"mnw- ularly true of those of the ps of Waterloo and Woolwich. ‘The report of the first deputation to Bay glty has been read by all our people with very great intereat, and it has so l:{‘nnt.d many of use, that we felt com ed to go over, and see for ourselves what the beet sugar industry is for a town, and the farmers in the vicinity of the factory. Of our own free will, and on our own expense, nfhe of us decided to form a deputation to visit the Bay City. The deputation was composed of the following:â€"Jacob B. Shantz, John Mader, Isador Snider, Martin Bowman, Tilman Shantz, Peter Shirk, Wm. Shaefer, Gso. E. Bowman, and 8. E. Shantz, farmers. We were joinâ€" ed by Professor Shuttleworth of the Agricultural Coliege, Guelpb, and by iMr. W. H. Collard, of the town of Berlin, representing the trades council. 20 CE U UVETORCETTEARES Cocinis m e EaCE Feeling that the beot sugar industry has vbeen most thoroughly explained now, from a capitalists standpoint, and bas been fully reported upon, we thought well to devoto our time to & thorough examination into the advanâ€" tages of the industry to the farmer, Mr. Collard giving special attention to the advantages of the ind ustry to labor. Leaving Borlip on Wednesday afterâ€" noon, and gcing by way of Port Huron, we reached Bay City late Wednesday night. â€" Early Thursday morning, we made our way first to West Bay sugat refinery, where we were most eordially received by the head bookâ€"keeper, in the absence of the superintendent. We devoted considerable of our time at that factory interviewing the farmers, who were busily engaged delivering the beets. Before leaving the city for the factory, we thought well to purâ€" chase a few pocket note books, for the purpose of recording what we hsard and saw that the report to our people might be based purely upon facts. While purchasing these books, in anawer to the inquiry, as to whether, the sugat factories were a benefit to the town, we wirs told that farmers have more morey now than they ever had? "Wh;?"* Said we. "Because we can tell ia our buiness. They buy more. They sre also good investors For example Mr. Chis. Noyes who inâ€" vested considerable money in one of our first factories, obtains 40 per cent on his invested muney. At first people feared to invest in these factories; now every body tries to get hold of all the sugar stock they can." On our way to the factory, were tcld by a farmer deâ€" livyering beets, that hbe had last year two acres, for which he got from the factory $260.00. Further he said, sn omcs "Before we got factories, farmers could not live any more". Another farmer interviewed on our way to the factory said ‘there are farmers losing money growing sugar bects. In anawer to the question why, he replied "Because they are poor farmers and their Jand is poor. Upon reaching the factory, and in anewer to questions to the head bookâ€"keeper, by whom we were shown through, we were told that the factory pays over $130,000 monthly in purâ€" chases. The yard mester said to us "This yard is black with farmers on the 15th of & ary month, the day upon whicb,they re« ‘vo their money for the months deliveries of beets. If you ‘ people have a chance to get & factory, . and do not accept it, you lose ‘the opâ€". portunity of your life". _ Anothber farmer, with whom we talked for a few minutes, while he was unloading his beetsin the yard, in answer to the question "How long have you been growing sugar beete?" roplied "‘Three years, and Inever bave made any money". Noticing that he winked to one of the party, when making this reply to us, we further pressed him to explain what he meant, upon which he answered "It is the bess crop I ever raised". . "You are Irish" said we, Yes he answered, "That is the matter with me". This factory bes 2014 farmers growing beets this year, in all 78,000 acres. The estimaie i aserage of tons per acre in the experience of this factory is a little over ten. C 5 $ rare It seemed to us, while going through this factory, that it would be a most delightfil thing, if all our farmers were given an opportunity of seeing this facâ€" tory for themselves and therefore we said to the Secrotary, Mr Eagene Figld, "Porhaps we may run an excurâ€" sion from our town, over here, to see this Wy‘,had n&:‘m you lot our e see through actory as you Pss io# in to ust ° sÂ¥es‘‘ enahie anewer, ‘"as many of you as may come, we w pleased to take you during this fue weather, we will only go so far as;to recommend that the matter of an excursion be considered and if such a thing can be arranged you will be most thoroughly Mxhu‘ with your trip and you will receive in Bay City, splendid accommodation at very reasonable rates. Su Whiie standiog at the gate of the beet yard, we ascertained by actual count, that a‘load passed through about every three minutes and tha; the loads eontained from 2 1â€"2 to 3 tous of beets, drawn by two horees, occasionally by three, and that farmers drow from desâ€" tinations varying from three to ten miles, as a rule, and in exceptional cases, as far as 15 to 20. _ During the afternoon of Thursday we engaged livery rigs and drove out into the country among the farmers, from whom we collected a great many points, all of which confirmed what has already been reported to you by the first deputation, and what we saw for ourselves in the forencon. By this time we were beginning to thoroughly he lieve that there is but one story, that is the beet sugar industry J5 especially for the farmer a market for a product, which he _ can _ proâ€" duce at a very great profit. _ Upon returning to the city, we made our way to the station, having decided to go to Caro that night. On our way to the station we met Mr W. C. Penoyâ€" er, of Bay City, who bas already visited Berlin, be said, You may tell your people in Eerlin to secure that factory, if they do, I will take stock in it and my brotber will also." He had just returned from Saginaw, where there is a large sugar factory, jast commencing, which, he said, is running most splenâ€" didly. Ho furtber told us, what will appear to you most astonishing, that at Saginaw they have arranged to give to a certain party their entire amount of pulp, this party baving contracts in New York to deliver the dried pulp for making sausage, using this instead of potatoes and that the same party is working upon a scheme by means of which pulp could be handled in the production of mince meat. It appears to us, that the byâ€"product, pulp, can be utilized in a variety of ways, either for feeding stock, or for domestic purâ€" poses. This, however, is but an exâ€" ampic of the utilization of the byâ€"prodâ€" ucts of a sugar factory, which in a fow years to come, may be very much deâ€" l veloped. c 2 Leaving Bay City at 5.20 and going by way of Vassar, we arrived in Caro between 8 and 9 o‘clock. Caro is a little town of 2,800 people, surrounded by, what a considered, a splendid agâ€" ticultural district, presenting to us con â€" ditions very similiar to those in and around Waterloo. It contains three large bo‘e!s, many large stores, banks and dwelling houses, all of which presâ€" erted a picture of neatness. Afser s . c joyablo night‘s rest, early in the morning, we engaged two livery rigs, and drove out into thecountry for the purpose of visiting farmers grow ing sugar beets,and farmers growing no beeta, thinking that it would be posâ€" sible perhaps, to find from the latter, obj=c‘ions to the beet sugar industry, if avy could befound. Our driver,the proprietor of the stable, who also owns a large farm, appeared to us to be a thorough Yankee, witty and happy in the extreme. By way of an introducâ€" tion, a. we proceeded, we said to the driver, ‘Does this factory help your town?" upon which he replies "Help? Good God yes." Almost immediately, we saw in the distance, load after load of sugar beets, the first we met, told us be farmed 60 acres, having ten acres in beets, which were producing 15 per cent. sugar. Last year I reâ€" ceived $60 per acre. They are not much trouble to ealtivate, if you do it in the right way." Proceedingifarther we were told in conversation with our guide, "we cannot hire men now, in the town, where you would see twertty men sitting around, you camnot find one now, since the factory came." The Provincial Board of Health has been so annoyed of late by the negliâ€" gence of the various clerks of municiâ€" palities throughout Ontario that it has decided to have the county crown atâ€" tormeys take action against all thore who do not send in regular health reâ€" ports. AFTER EQUINOX ‘The season has changed. Cold winds, damp air, coughs, colds, grippe, pneumoniaâ€" that‘s the order of events. This is the time of year for those with weak lungs or a tenâ€" dency to heavy colds to fortify themselves against exposure by taking Scott‘s Emulsion. Regular doses give great proâ€" tection to the throat and lungs. What‘s the use of staying near the edge when such easy treitment will keep you out of danger.
