KLEIN SUGAR BEET.

This new German variety, as reported by DR..
H. w. Wiley of the United States Department
of Agriculture, exceeds all others in the amount
of sucrose in its juice, and also in its yield
According to his analytical table, the yield OF
the Kleinwanz lebener was 221S tons of beets
per acre, from which upward of 5000 pounds
of sugar were extracted, being 400 pounds
more sugar per acre than extracted from any of
five other varieties tested and analysed under
the same conditions. 1t has also been largely

Southern California wheelmen Cut Loose
from the Northerners.
For some time past the Southern Cali
fornia members Of the League of Ameri-
can wheelmen have been agitsting the
project of getting Southern California
division of the L. A. W. formed. The
reasons assigned for this creation were
numerous. The strongest one, however,
was that the region in and around San
Francisco, having large majority of the
members, all of the events were held
north of the Tehachepi, and the money
paid here went for the benefit of the
northern members. The railroad fare
was too high to permit the Southern
California members to attend any of the
events, SO the local people were in this
manner frozen out all around. The two
sections were separated by nature by
mountain ranges, and the territory gov
erned by the California state division
was many times larger than those in the
east, and the railroad fare alone to San
francisco WIS higher than that from
New York to Chicago.
A committee consisting of III. @. F.
Smith. T. @. Hall and E. W. Stuart, all
- 4<op <AhHOiO1y WClO ECiCCboQ duQ III
terested themselves in favor of the
Southern California division. The
various arguments in favor of the crea-
ton were grouped and formidable
array of excellent reasons were pre-
sented. The California state division
board unanimously approved the mat
ter. Mr.. John S. Thayer was selected
as delegate to the national convention
of the L. A. W. held at Philadelphia
during this month. He presented the
claims of this section before that body
with the gratifying result that tele-
gram was received at Los Angeles from
him yesterday stating that the new
division had been created.
All of the local wheelmen were highly
elsted over the affair yesterday, and |
universally predicted an early increase
of interest and membership in the
leeyue.
a convention for the purpose of elect.
ing officers for the new division will be
called to meet in Los Angeles during
this month.

BEEF AND BUTTER.

Dairy0en who Are Jacks at An Trades
Cannot Succeed.
Mr.. Henry Stewart believes that
there Is no good reason why the farmer
should not combine dairy production
and beef production. That depends
upon what sort Of a dairy it is intended
to maintain and what sort of beef it is
intended to produce. II . farmer does
not care much about his dairy and cares
just - little about his beef, the plan is
good enough. Any plan would be well
enough in that case. There are farm
ers who simply desire to make enough
butter for home use, and If there is any
over they take it to the country store.

II they don't. When the cow gets too

case. But If man believes that there

ture he will take from his dairy, and
the dairy will suffer. II he wants to

That is sound, and experience will show
