.THE SUGAR BEET CROP.
Keeping the E,ubers from Maturity Until
Used IT the Factory.

4 Keeping the E"EberS from MATURITY Outh
Used IT the Factory.
Just what viii be found the best
method OF keeping sugar beets after
they are ripe until they can be used at
the factory "canrot DO answered at
present with any degree of certainty"
according to a bulletin on the output of
sugar beets from the Oregon station.
Following are additional statements
from this bulletin: " ::
X It may be found possible in eastern
and southern Oregon to leave the beets
u in the ground till needed at the factory.
This would be possible if it were found
that the slight second growth which
might be induced would not cause q
greater loss of sugar than would be O.
casioned by SLIDING. If this method can
be practiced, it means material saving
in handling the crop. If the loss by
such method is too great, then either
the si1o, consisting Of pit lined with
straw, or sheds, as used at Norfolk. Neb..
may be used. Either Of these methods,
It is believed, can be used successfully
in the eastern or southern part of the
state, but in the Willamette valley prob
ably the shed will be the only feasible
means.
In farmers bulletin issued from the
United States department of agriculture
SLIDING the beets is suggested MS the
simplest method Of keeping the tubers.
and the one employed at some factories.
In some sections, as in California, all
that is required to protect the tubers
until desired for use is a covering Of
straw. In SLIDING the beets the advice
is to place in. piles and cover at first
only slightly with earth, afterward in
creasing the covering according to the
degree of cold.
At the Oregon station experiments
are to be made to determine the rate OF
decrease in sugar content and purity by
allowing the beets to remain III the
ground till used. The protecting Of
beets rich in sugar is an important lat
ter from a financial standpoint, for it
costs nearly as much to produce beets
containing the minimum of Ia per cent
sugar as to produce those carrying 10
per cent. The former, to quote figures
given in the Oregon bulletin, would
bring but 49, so per ton, or, assuming
yield Of ~ tons per acre, an income Of
$42 per acre, while the latter would
bring 81. so per ton, or $54 per acre,
which ia very material difference.

A BIG GLUCOSE COMBINATION.
All the Concerns in the Country Are To BE

Chicago, July ga special to the

The business which called the two

MAYER and John L. Wilson, to New

conferences of several of the large
trust companies. it is Row learned,
was the legal shaping of Il big com
pany which has been organized and
which has purchased. with one or two
exceptions. all the glucose manufac-
turing concerns in the country.
Some idea of the size of the deal
may he gained from the fact that the
new corporation will have capital of
Slo000.0O0 and will control with
slight extra cNcrtion the whole glu-
cosc output of the United States,
which amounts annually to l.24O.OOn-
600 pounds. 1t involves. too. the con-
sumption annually of about 31,O0O,o0
bushels of corn.
In addition TO the importance of the
industry the character of the New
York and Chicago capitalists who
have underwater the stock of the
company commands attention. They
embrace some of the biggest interests
in Wall street.
The concerns and their daily capac-
ity in bushels of corn which have been

so strong that the British railway car

"This cut in the price of 500 wheels Inns

opinion five years ago that other makers
would fully realize their error in endeav-
oring to maintain n fictitious value on
their product, and that the prices we had
fixed on Cfesccnts would become tho
standard price for other high grade wheels.
zone of the secrets of the success of the
Western Wheel Works is, that we not
only guarantee our wheels, but we Guaran-
tee our prices ms well, and the purchaser
of n Crescent in February has the sntissac-
ton of knowing that his neighbor who
purchased n Crescent in July paid the
same price as he did.
II do not anticipate that n still further
reduction in the price of bicycles will be
made this year"
