funeral thieves. They are consequently
locking for the third han. His description

,,,cAR BEErs IN CALIFORNIA.

An article in the North American
o,siay. summary OF facts given by
n, 4 saver in regard To the sugar
heet industry in California will be of
interest: THE yield of sugar beets
ysries from twelve TO forty tons per
aaro The best land, with good culti-
"a,ion and a favorable season, i'll
yiold from tweuty to thirty-tye tons
ncr acre. but the crop would be hardly
proatable al yield Of less than twelve
,ons per acre. In California the
,realest production from single acre
If land was little more than forty
tons of bects; but. this Is an unusual
yield. The estimated cost Of prOduc-
tion per acre is about $50. In the
nreseut condition of the methods OF
manufacture, from eight to twelve
nounds of beets are required In the
making of one pound Of sugar; the
ouantity varies according to the
vreater or lesser richness OF the beets
in sugar. The price changes with the
couditjons of the markets. About
four years ago beet sugar from Ger
many vas landed on the wharves OF
New Ynok at the cost OF 1881 per 100
pounds.
During the last six years such
improvements have been made in the
progress of manufacture that instead
Of converting from to per cent OF
the beet into sugar, ~ to l6 per cent
are converted now, and the cost of
production per pound which was once
from to y cents, is now only 2 to 4.
The average cost here in 1893 was
3 cents, and $4,000 acres are used for
growing sngar beets, which brought
to the farmer an average price of
$3.50 a ton.

Wild Lettuce.

Following is description of wild
lettuce, as given out by the state agri-
cultural college: sit is closely related
to and very much resembles garden
lettuce. The similarity is especially
striking if we compare the two after
the flower stalks have begun to appear.
The plant grows from seed each year
and is thus an annul. 1t blooms from
July to October. The height of the
plant is from six inches in poor soil to
as many feet in rich soil, growing,
generally, a central straight stalk
branching at the top into spreading,
bare branches, much subdivided, and
bearing inconspicuous, yellow flowers.
The seeds are small and bear white
fmy down which serves to watt them
a long distance on currents of air.
The leaves are from four to six inches
long and half as wide. Along the
edge Of the leaf and the midrib and
scattered over the lower portion Of
the stem are soft prickles which give
the plant the name of prickly lettuce.
