| TEACHERS SUIT.
Judge Towner today decided the case
of Vina III. Gof against the board of edu-
cation of Santa Ana in favor of the de-
fendant. Mrs. Goff was discharged from
her position as teacher in our school in
1892, and brought suit to recover the
salary for the whole year.
Judge Towner decided that she had
only a contract from month to month,
and that in cities OF the fifth class the
power OF dismissal vested in the board
was almost absolute. He held that the
case of Kennedy VS.. the board of educa-
tion OF San Francisco had no bearing on
the issue here.
The balloon ascension today was a
success. Abou. 1000 people witnessed
as fine a display of jump from bal
loon with parachute as ever they have
| seen.
The HERALD correspondent does not
know any OF the allegations set forth in
the complaint OF Mrs. Morris, as the
complaint was filed in the county clerks
Office and is not accessible to the eyes OF
the curious, as it is the sworn duty of
the said clerk to keep such instruments
under lock and kee. Mrs. Morris makes
a statement which is self explanatory,
and ia published as given under her sig-
nature:
To All Whom 1t May Concern
This is to certify that the state ment
made by the Los Angeles Times as to
the grounds OF the divorce proceedings
between myself and husband being
the commission of the act OF adultery
by hIm is untrue.
The only grounds set forth in said
complaint and upon which said divorce
is sought, is the grounds OF extreme
cruelty, and there is nothing in said
complaint which in any way impugns
or reflects upon or questions the chas-
tity OF any young woman.
ELIZA MoRRIs.
Dated January 15 1894.
Notwithstanding the above statement
Mr.. Wallace declares that what he pub
lished in the Times is true, 1t now
seems to be a matter of veracity be-
tween Mr.. and Mrs. Morris and the at.
torney for Mrs. Morris and the Times
correspondent.
The planting and caring for crop OF
sugar beets are new ventures to our peo-
pie, and as they are going into that
business on limited ecale this season
few suggestions from the pen of Richard
Gird, taken from the Chino Champion,
will no doubt be acceptable. They are
as follows:
In preparing the soil for sugar beets it
ie OF the utmost importance to have it
in thoroughly pulverized condition to
at least depth of from s to II inches,
being careful not to turn up too much
new, cold soil to the surface, but each
successive year the plowing could be run
to greater depth to bring up fresh soil
to be aerated. Twelve inches should be
the minimum depth at the third years
cultivation.
In order to insure the termination OF
the seed. the land should be plowed and
narrowed for some days before the seed
iB planted, in order for the land to be
settled and packed, allowing moisture to
rise and thoroughly distribute itself
near the surface. There are some soils
which would be very much benefited by
running a subsoiler to the depth of A,
5 or 6 inches below the bottom of the
surface plow, and to loosen up and
give the roots chance to penetrate with
out turning the cold soil to the surface.
The spring plowing should be shallow
and the ground we'll narrowed down and
left to settle before planting.
The seed should be Gown in drills
from Is to 20 inches apart, with from IL
to Is pounds to the acre. The seed
must be covered with from an inch to
an inch and half of earth, according
to the condition of the moisture of the
soil, and must be sown equally deep
everywhere, this being the only means
to assure equal growth, and for the
plants all to come up at the same time.
This is OF the utmost importance and
should not be neglected, and in sowing
care should be taken that the seed
reaches the moist earth and that it is
properly covered.
