NEBRASKA'S BEET SUGAR CROP. 



The officials of the Chicago, Burling- 

 ton & Quincy railroad have been col- 

 lecting some information concerning 

 the sugar beet industry in Nebraska. 



Some difficulty was encountered 

 early in the season in securing a suf- 

 ficient acreage for the two large fac- 

 tories there. But the final result was 

 an acreage sufficient to meet all re- 

 quirements. 



The weather conditions early in 

 the season were favorable for planting 

 and cultivating the beet, so that a good 

 stand was secured. The crop matured 

 in excellent condition, and is making 

 a very large yield. 



The factories at Grand Island and 

 Norfolk began operations about Octo- 

 ber 1, an* are making a successful run, 



with a prospect of a larger sugar out- 

 put than in any preceding year. 



The price paid to the farmer usually 

 is $4 a ton, but the very good quality 

 of this season's crop will secure %5 a 

 ton. The output of the factories in 

 the state this season is estimated to 

 be about 25,000,000 pounds. 



"ANTE." 



In a Greenfield, Mass., cemetery was 

 recently seen a new made grave with a 

 floral tribute upon it bearing the word 

 "Ante." Sporting men who saw it won- 

 dered how much they must "ante" up 

 for the sight. On inquiry it was found 

 that a florist had been instructed to 

 prepare an emblem with the word 

 "Auntie" upon it, and this was the re- 

 sult, which he brought in at too late 

 a moment to rectify, but claimed that 

 it was all right, as he had "looked in 

 two dictionaries and they both spelled 

 it that way." — Templeton (Mass.) Re- 

 corder.

BOTANY. 



A meeting of the Vermont Botanical 

 Club was held recently at Burlington, 

 Vt. In the program we note there 

 was a discussion of the question, 

 "What Is a Species?" When the bot- 

 anists have to argue the question, 

 what hope is there for a poor florist? 



Another number on the program 

 was: "The Dehiscence of the Sporan- 

 gium of Pteris Crelica." Every dor- 

 ist should at once post himself on 

 the manner in which the aforesaid 

 sporangium "dehisses," or he may 

 make a miscue with his next batch 

 of the fern named.
