"THE MARRIAGE LAW."

(To the Editor.) Recently I had Hie pleasure of a conversation with a young man from Idaho. U.S.A., wlose parents are wholly sugar-beet farmers. In enquiring as to the meilioiß etc.. of growing, cartage, etc., ,1 And that SOOI) tons is sufficient to start a factory, arid that the beet is loaded from horse waggons into railway trucks, the wagons being made so that they side-tip their contents into the trucks. Tho pulp from the factory is used for animal food. The .aian referred lo states thai with 20 tons to tiie acre TaranakL farmers should get a return of £r,o per acre; tl:at again from what lie iias seen and from what farmers In different parts of the province have told him, 2(1 tons would be a low •i\i3rngo for Titrflnaki, Pprsounlly I huvo not as yet tried mangold Browing, font I am .'is- | sured that soils that will grow that crop well can bo relied on to produce payable sugar-beet crops. In Idahc the cowyard manure Is carefully conserved for the beet section. In Taranak!, on the majority of f..rnis it runs into creeks, or, may be, spasmodically used a3 top-dressing for grass pad- i docks. Now. Sir, it should 1101 be a hard matter for combinations of faraiiers to guarantee JtoOO tons, and to specially prepare an r.civ or two for growing same, ard it seems 11 at hind manured yearly with cowyard manure tvill produce ■ beet. year after year, land in Idaho being in use for twenty years or so. and if they can do it surely we can. There is hardly any need to stress the importance to the public of tile Dominion of a means to combat the sugar monopoly existing for years, and farmers can., it seems to me, "lieu up a very profitable! industry in tackling the sugar beet. Perhaps, Sir, yon or some of your readers can supply information as to the matter that will help It being taken up in a vigorous manner, as I feel sure farmers would go in for the growing if shown that there is half tl'e return stated by the American visitor.—l am, efe., •10K li.

Sir, Realty, Mr. Editor, 1 hail no intention of carrying on this correspondence as !o !u\v Mr. Masters and Mr. Smith acted in the Mtu-riM-e Amendment Bill, hut the letter of | r<rittanieiis Hum" in your issue this morning brines him out in his true colors. He is nut concerned about the Marriage What he Is concerned about is that Messrs Masters and Smith, two of tl'e most live members Tarimaki has ever had to represenl it. should he put out of Parliament. "Brittanicus Sum" says: "We stand for the Stale system of education, and we oppose strenuously anything that is calculated to impair that system." Just so. What about Messrs. Masters . ;'nU Smith.' I will give your correspondent I the whole r.f Turanaltl to choose from, and : I will undertake to say tl-at he will not Hnd 1 two nun who have tione mors for our Stilts
