HAULING OFF GARBAGE
1T WILL HEREAFTER BE TRANS
PORTED OVER THE RAILROAD.
Avoiding the Procession Through the
City-ObjectionabIe StnbIes-The
Plumbers Heard.

Some new methods are about to be intro
duced by the Indianapolis Sanitary Com
pany in the collection and disposition of
garbage. Instead of hauling all the garbage
of the city to Sellers farm in wagons the
greater part of the work will be done over
the Belt Railroad in conjunction with the
I. & V. Railroad. Yesterday the sanitary
company appeared before the Board Of
Public Works to get permission to lay
tracks on the farm, which is owned by the
city and leased to the company. S. Z. Rauh,
representative Of the company, had a con-
tract authorizing the laying of the tracks.
The board suggested that it be so modified
as to provide that the. privilege should eX-
pire with the garbage collection contract,
and that when thellease to the farm expires
the tracks shall be taken up.
When the new arrangement is made the
garbage wagons will not be driven to Sell
lers farm. They will be driven to stations
on the Belt Railroad, where the wagonbeds
filed with garbage will be lifted off the
running gears and placed aboard fiat cars.
Each wagon is to be provided with two
portable wagonbeds, = that double service
can be had. While OF bed is being hauled
to Sellers farm over the railroad the other
will be in the district making collections.
Dr f. u clark, secretary OIL tue bodru
of Health, believes that the new system will
be satisfactory, and that it will facilitate
collections. For one thing, it will remove
the source of complaint from residents of
West Indianapolis. who complained about
the almost intermnable procession of gar
bage wagons through the suburb toward the
desiccating plant.
The plan has not been perfected, but the
company expects to have garbage wagons
in the north part of town haul their loads
to station on the Belt Railroad. A sim
liar station will probably be located con-
venient to Brightwood, another in the ex-
IRENE east part of town, and others to the
south and west. The company will save
much time that is now consumed by the
drivers in making long trips to the desic-
eating plant.

Recently prepared statistics show that en-

For time yesterday at Chicago it looked
as though there would be another reduc-
ton in the passenger rates between Chi
cago and st. Paul and Minneapolis. The
report reached Chicago in the morning that
brokers in st. Paul were offering tickets
to Chicago for 81 and $3.50. This aroused
the combative instincts of all the general
passenger agents of the Chicago-St. Paul
lines and they wired at once instructions to
their agents in ST Paul to see ii the rates
were being made by the brokers or by the
roads. In the latter event they were to
meet the rates at once and to send word
to this end SO that the rate could be an
nounced here as being operative in both
directions. AT a late hour no report had
reached the offices in Chicago of any open
cut in the rates, and the threatened reduc-
ton did not take place. 1t will come at
once, however, and on all of the roads, as
soon as they think that any of their com
petitors are cutting the rates in any way.
The situation is growing worse instead of
better and if the executive officers of the
Chicago-St Paul roads do not hold meet
ing very quickly the rates will be tumbling

SUGAR BETS.
suggestions Concerning Preparation
of Ground for Planting.

'The increased interest in the sugar-beet
question" says Prof. II. A. Huston chemist
of the Agricultural Experiment Station at
Purdue University, has brought to the
experiment station an unusually large num-
Der of samples of sugar beets from all Sec
tions of the State. Some of the beets were
raised from seed furnished by the station
and some from seed obtained from other
sources In the case of the seed sent out
from the station full working directions
were furnished. In most cases these drec-
lions were not followed, although those who
requested free seed agreed to fully follow
working directions.
THE most essential preliminary to raising
good sugar beets is the proper preparation
of the seed bed. The ground should be
stirred to depth of at least sixteen inches.
The best way to accomplish this is to turn
a furrow about eight inches deep with a
common pillow and follow with a subsoil
plow in the bottom of the furrow
VERY few farmers who tried raising beetS
report that they had used a subsoil pillow
or any other implement for stirring the soil
to a greater depth than eight inches. The
result of this is seen in many of the sam
pies received. Instead of a single tap root
there are number of small roots and in
stead of the beet growing well underground
1t extends so far above ground that nearly
one-half of it's weight is useless for sugar
making purposes. Both these defects can be
1t is much better to do this blowing and
subsoiling in the fall. We therefore advise
all those who intend to experiment with
sugar beets the next year, or who intend to
raise them for any purpose to pillow. the land
now and be ready TO plant as early as the
season will permit in the spring. This early
planting is great advantage on the moder-
ately light lands that are best adapted for
sugar beets, since it advances the crop to
q stage where It can better Withstand the
usual dry summer season.
In the distribution of seed in the spring
the station will give preference to those who
have land properly prepared. If farmers in
tend to try the raising of sugar beets it is
of the utmost Importance that the work be
properly done in every respect, for every
test not properly conducted and giving beets
of poor quality is not simply useless; it Is
directly injurious, since 1t seems to indicate
that the locality is not adapted for beet
culture. Badly conducted tests may be the
means of keeping beet factories away from
localities that are really well suited for the
business. They will certainly never be the
means of inducing capitalists to invest
money in factories in any locality. The first
step In the right direction is proper blowing.
and this can and ought TO be done at once"
