s. The time for harvesting varies In
different localities. In southern Cali
fornia the beets planted in February are
ready for harvesting in August. In gen.
eral it may be said that beets planted
the first week in May will be ready for
harvesting about the 1st Of October.
Harvesting should be postponed to az
late a date as possible. provided the
beets are in NO danger Of q second
growth and are not exposed to frees-
ing temperature. The leaves of the
ripened beet change from rich to q
yellowish green. become dropping and
applied closely to the earth, and many
of them die. The harvesting is easily
accomplished by first loosening the beets
in the soil and then removing them by
hand. For loosening the beets there is
an apparatus, sold as the beet harvester,
which can be used to advantage If the
rows are quite straight and the beets OF
uniform size.
Having lifted the beets, the next
operation is removing the necks. This
is done BY a large knife and the top Of
the beet or neck is cut of 80 as to re-
move, with the top, that portion of the
beet to which the stems Of the leaves
have been attached. The object of re-
moving this portion of the beet is to
prevent the mineral salts, which have
accumulated in large quantities therein.
from entering the factory. These min.
eral salts exercise deleterious inf1u-
ence on the capitalization Of the sugar.
They are we'll fitted for feed or for fer
tilizing purposes and are of more value
when left upon the soil than when re-
moved to the factory. The neck is also
much less rich in sugar than tho other
parts Of tho root.
The removal of the tops of the beets
is a tedious process which. in Europe,
is performed by women and children.
In this country the process Of topping
the beets will prove much more expen-
sive than in Europe. 1t is probable that
some mechanical device will be invent
ed by which the beets can be topped.
So far as known at the present time.
however, this process has not been suc-
cessfully accomplished by machinery
and the topping must still be done by
hand
When the beets are topped. they are
thrown into piles. and the tops thrown
over them as protection from the sun
or frost until they can be delivered to
the factory. The beets are best delivered
to the factory In dump carts, which per-

WEEK ENDING MONDAY. AUGUST 2.
GENERAL CONDITIONS.
The temperature was slightly
above the normal all the week. ex-
cept the first day or two. Showers
have fallen during the middle Of the
week, irregularly distributed as to
amount and locality, the smallest
amounts seeming to be in the north
ern half, and the largest amounts in
the southwest. The cool weather
early in 1.-THE week, following the
heavy rains, prevented scalding OF
immature grain. while the warmer
weather since has hastened the
ripening of spring wheat and oats.
On light land some spring wheat has
been cut in southern portions, and
cutting will begin in more northern
portions on the 2nd; harvest prob
ably becoming general on the 5th;
but on tile heavier clay soils and on
low lands the cutting will be con-
siderably later. Where not affected
by water. wheat is fine. but on less
favored soils reports are varied both
as to yield and quality of ofgrain, both
of which haye suffered. Fears OF
Hesslan fly. aud uneven ripening due
to the frosts in May and June are
expressed at some scattered points.
Oats and barley are being cut in
southern and middle sections with
the crops reported fair to good. The
rains have affected tho color Of
barley. Potatoes are doing well, ex-
cept where too wet. Haying is
progressing on uplands, though
generally delayed by showers. The
meadows continue too wet to cut.
Corn has grown we'll and has
reached the tassel stage in the best
fields, but much will make nothing
but fodder. Destructive hail storms
have visited portions OF the south
western tounties.

YES. 1T Is EASY TO FIGURE.

The loss to the lumbermen OF Min
neapolis and Saltwater because OF
the present high water Is very great.
The Minneapolis mills have decreased
their cut by between 5N,O00.O0O and
75, ,OOO, 900 feet at least during the
present suspension Of saving opera
tions and the delay on the st. Croix
river will probably curtail the cut
is not to be any too much lumber for
the fall trade in the northwest.
When one considers the fact that
stocks are badly broken anyway,
with the curtailment due to high
water 1t is not easy to figure out
where the lumber will come from to
supply the farming regions with
building material during the next
hundred days.-MinneapOlis Lumber
man.
The Minneapolis dealers should
understand that large proportion
of the farmers OF the Northwest no
longer look to Minneapolis or Still
water for their lumber supply. Lit
tie Falls and Brainerd are doing the
most OF the western business now,
and 900 cars month will supply
several farmers.
Fear Ia expressed that the lumber
shippers In Minnesota will sOOn have
trouble in getting cars. The rail-
roads are generally able to meet the
demand, however.
Railroads running from Mtnneapo-
lis to Iowa have made a reduction
of about 10 per cent in the freight
rates on lumber.
The lumber shipments from Min
neapolis last week were 1895 O0Ofeet;
last wear the shipments 1856, 900 feet.

feet was shipped to that place from
Duluth, and then shipped from there

The new saw mill plant Of the St..
Hilaire Lumber company is now
turning out 800, 900 feet every twen-
ty-iour hours. This mill IL on the
Red river, about q miles from Crooks
ton, and 100 miles down the river
from Red lake. Il. H. Shevlin, of
Minneapolis, is president oi the conf
pany. Tie logs the mill is now saw
ing were banked on Red lake, and
floated down to the mill 'Of their
own accord"
There was recently some friction
between the boom company and
IA W mill men at Saltwater. The
high water in theSt. Croix prevented
the boom company from handling
logs as rapidly MS the mill wanted
them, and the boom crews put in
most of their time gathering logs
that had been scattered by the
winds. The saw mill men had
meetings. and protested over
the delay of the boom company, but
the trouble adjusted itself as soon
as the river went down.
Referring to the logs In the booms
just above the Minneapolis mills, the
Lumberman says: "There Is a large
lot of logs up at Dunham island.
it is estimated that there are 150,-
600, 900 feet and they are jammed in
from bank to bank, so that the W ork
of breaking them up is attended
with Il considerable amount Of risk.
But the works Of the boom company
are strong. and under the able super.
vision of MIR. Chute and Mr.. JordOn,
Of the boom company, it Is likely
that there will be no resultant DAM
age.
At the works of the boom CON-
pany at Dunham island, where the
jam is, the logs are piled up from
twenty to thirty feet clear across
the works On the east side of the
island, where the main channel Of
the river is. There ia a channel on
the west side OF the island through
which the water runs freely. Az the
water is fully three feet higher than
it has ever been before when the
boom company was turning logs
there Is an element OF danger I'd
working them out OF this immense
jam that ia not at all to the liking
of the company. However, it is
likely that the work will be carried
on without loss, excepting those
logs that are carried under the pri-
vate booms by the force OF the cur
rent"
