The Manitoba Free Press, tho great
Liberal organ of the West, tbue passes
ite opinion of the underlying rx3otive
of the convention:
"The cleverly dieestroue and fatally
brilliant taotice that tranforwed the
late Liberal con'vention into a party
catastrophe were intended to make
possible a political coup,
"Tse Wept to be made solid for

vention, white Laurier wee to eecnre
a solid Quebec on the issue of antl•oon-
soription, Then there was to be a Ear -
gain. Quebec was to dictate the war
policy of the new Government, while
the Weet was to be given a ' consider-
able instalment of economic reform.
"The political possibilities of this
deal have been much discussed for
some months past, They were not
overlooked at the resent convention,
"The plan is a clever one, but it will
fail, The West can get the economical
and fiscal reforms necessary to her ad.
vanoement by honest means.
"Not even for this attractive mese
of pottage will the West sell her birth-
right,"
We might continue to quote hut
need only add that all over the land
sinlere Liberals are denouncing the
attempted double political play.
There can be no real union between
men honestly desirions of winning the
war and the halting if not hostile at.

The farmers in this section have now
started cutting their barley, which is an

although there is some talk of smut in

Aorea a Sugar Beets,
fT is perhaps not generally known
that the sugar beet is one of the
best growing crops in Western
Canada, Not only does this crop
grow well,' but' there Is no doubt that
with the necessary labor and capital
one of the most successful industries
in Canada can be built upon the, cal -
titration of beets for sugar.
In Southern Alberta alone the area
suitable to the growth of the best
kind of sugar beets is greater in ex.
tent than any two of the largest pro-
ducing districts in the United States.
That more has not been heard of the
possibilities of this crop in Alberta le
undoubtedly due to the success of
the farmer in grain growing and
stock raising. But, just as a higher
quality of grain, with larger yields,
is produced in Western Canada than
in the older districts, so sugar beets
grown here generally contain a
higher percentage of sugar and
yield a greater tonnage to the acre
than those grown elsewhere. Testa
made with beets grown under irri-
gation from five different kande of
Geed at the Dominion Government
Experimental Station at Lethbridge
showed a yield of 17?, 1613, 15j and 92
tons per acre, with a sugar percent-
age of 15.84, 19.42, 17.85 and 16.25
respectively. In the same district
crops without irrigation yielded 913
to 122 tons per acre from the same
seed. Even better results have been
obtained from beets grown under
irrigation in the Eastern and West-
ern Sections of the Irrigation Block
of the Canadian Pacific Railway, east
of Calgary, Alberta. Beets with a
sugar content of twenty percent have
been grown there in succesajve years.
and growers there are confident,that
this high percentage can be main -
tabled with large crops. It is safe
to say that .practically any soil cap'
able of producing such- grain as le
produced in Western Canada will
produce satisfactory auger beets, even
though the results may pot be so
gratifying as those achieved with
irrigation.
More than twelve years age the
possibilities of eeizo dlbethad been recognized,
in giving evidence before A commit•
Irrigating Sugar Beets. ,, Nif
tee appointed by the Dominion Gov-
ernment to enquire into the tariff on
sugar a representative of the Ray-
mond Sugar Company, Raymond,
Alberta, stated that at that time the
company had already demonstrated
that the beet sugar industry, under
proper conditions, could be developed
to an enormous extent in Alberta,
and that the general conditions, etc.,
compared very favorably with those
existing in the States of Utah and
Idaho, which at that date were two
of the largest producing districts in
the Union,
Combined with the live stock in-
dustry, sugar beet cultivation builds
up prosperous districts more quickly
and substantially than probably any
other mode of commercial develop-
ment. The feeding value of the beet
pulp and tops needs no comment. As
a rotation crop for the cultivation of
soil values there its none better.
In regard to seedproduction, it is
believed that a superior quality of
seed can be produced in Alberta in
na.arketabie Quantities. The eel in
the Eastern Section of the Irrigation
Block is admirably adapted for the
growth of beets for seed, which will,
no doubt, develop into one, of the
most important branches of Indus-
try.
A word as to the markets will be
interesting. In 1915, the consume -
tion of sugar in Alberta was approxi-
mately 42,000,000 pounds, in British
Columbia 33,000,000 pounds, In Sas.
katehewan 50,00133,000 pounds, and in
Manitoba 43,000,080 pounds, making
a total for the Western Provinces
alone of 168,000,000 pounds. The
total production of sugar in the whole
of the Dominion amounted to 37,000.-
000 only. A large market is, there.
fore, right at the door, Alberta aloud
has an area sumeientiy large to pro-
duce sugar for the needs of Western
Canada, and also to export large
quantities. This is undoubtedly one
of the future industries of Western
Canada, especially in the districts
where irrigation is practised,
