Tth.*-General Aliriza Pasha, the new Turkish Grand Vizier, has open- ed negotations with Mustapha Kemal, the Turkish Nationalist leader, whose troops recently tcok possesson of the stra.egic citv of Konich, according to a despateh from the special correspondent of L’lnformation at Constantinople. Turkish Necionalist troops said to num- ber upwarcs of 300,000 and commandad by .Austapha Kemal, seem to have pre- cipitated in Asia Minor on a major scale, a crisis similar to that which arose in Dalratia when Captain Gabriel Dannun- zlo seized a2 "‘/iiv of Fiume.. There is a feeling that the situation in Asia Minor has gone beyond the control of the Turkish Govt. and that the Allied Powers, are helpless at present to do anyiaing o brfhg military pressure to bear and atford any appreciable relief. There are some who question whether the Powvers are sufficiently united or inclined to' intervene. Konich, an im- portant railway centre, isin the hands of tae Turisish Nationalist troops. Its capture appears to indicate that Musta- pha Kemai is in control of a vast region streiching ‘rom Konich on the south- west to Erzerum, the priucipal city of Turkish Avnienia, a distance of. 425 mile:.

Townsend real a paper be- fore the American Associa 100 of Beet Sugar Agriculturists last Janaary and ‘having charges of the sugu plent inves- "tigations wave a compar ;on between mrethods used in the Kast ard West in growing sugar beets. In coiny this he asserted thatr the beet-sugar industry, contrary to popular opinion, originated in the East in tne vic.nity of Philadelphia, where beets weré grown in 1830. The first sugar mill was ereeted at Northamp- ton, Mass., in 1838, where a few tons of beet sugar were made. The industry however, did not become established un- til about torty vears after that at Alva- rado, in 1879. Itoften happens that ore section ¢f a country will create an indus- try and another will develop it and the Western spirit is certainiy responsibie for bringine for:h or this continent an indusirvy dedicated o sweetness and heaith. In 1852 an effort was made to deveion the beet industry in Lehi, Utah, but matters did not get on wvery fast. That is prebably (he reason that in 1891 a faathry was star ed there which now has the disiinciion of beinz the first beet-sn- oar factory in the Union, with an nnb- broken record of manufacturing sugar from beets ever sinee. Now beets are grown i1 19 states. The different meth- ods used in the East and West are largely cue to the humid conditions and soil dif- ferences wlile the size of farms also piays some role, the larger farms in the West using tractors and many other la- bor-saving devices. The Western farmer has a decided advantage over the Eastern fafMmers because he can regulate the moisture. The labor problem is more serious in the West becavse of the larger acreage while in the Middle West and Eastern States the farmer often handles the crop himself with the aid of his tamily.~ Louisiana Planter, Sept. 13th. WEST INDIAN COTTON. The following information coneerning i he cotton market in laverpool is contained in a cireular dated July 31, 1919, issued by the British Cotton Growing Associa- tion @ : In connection with our last circular, we have beer. endeavouringto find out pre- sent prices of West Indian Sea Island cot- ton in [iverpool. The position is exceel- ingly difficult in view of the fact that there is po cotton on the markei. We think it possible, however, to give an approxi- mate valuation of West Indian cotton, and, basing it on what is doing in Ameri- can Island, we shouid think that your cot- ton should be worth 45d. to 48d.per Ib., according to quality, it ou the spot in Liverpool. This price is probably what you would get if the cotton were here, owing to the demands from outsiders and the ex- haustion of the Carolina stoeks. It must not be overicoked, however, that the new erop Carolina should be in Liverpool in October, and if there w s a big weight of West Indian on the market abotic the same time, the Qtuati(m might be altered; but if your cottoh were tc arrive herve shortly it would, if the quality was good, com- mand the best prices. —-Agricultural News, 6th Sept. ,
