BEET CULTURE
Tucson, ARIZONA, June Is.


Editors Free Press;
DEAR SIRs,-In answer to your
inquiry as to how I found the su gar
beets about Mesa upon my recent
visit to that section l will state
that in many instances the expert
ments are progressing in a very
satisfactory manner. Many of the
growers, however, are negleoting to
give the beet plots the proper at
tention, some being much over
grown with weeds, while others
have been flooded with water
which is, injurious, and still others
have had too much water. The
soil should be carefully hoed up
about the best roots, all weeds kept
down, the soil carefully cultivated, !,
! the beets thinned to q distance of
to 6 inches apart and every at
tention given towards developing a
large sugar percentage. Some few
are growing the beets properly,
giving them the proper attention,
and | confidently expect large
percentage of saccharine matter
from these. 1t is probable that
the beets will not be sufficiently
maturod to give best sugar returns
before August lst, though we may
yet gather a few samples before
that time.
Respectfully yours,
VIM. STOWE DEvoL.
Director.

How 1t Is Catching.

DR.. Guiteras, the noted yellow
fever expert, in an interview with
q Daily States reporter, last Mon
day, spoke as follows in regard to
the danger of catching yellow
fever:
Gas to the fear of the country
people Of my bringing in germs ,
and their idea that l have been in
prolonged association with yellow
fever vectims, there is nothing in
that whatever.
stTo catch the disease, . person
must reside or be constantly with
the patient, and in fact become a
part Of the infected premises. No
one can catch it or bring away
germs who passes in to see a pa
tient and comes ont in q few mo-
ments as have done. That is al
together an erroneous ida, but one
which seems to prevail to q very
large extent, especially in the
smaller towns which l have seen. :"

Much surprise is being expressed
at the Grand Jury of the Criminal
Court of New Orleans re-
porting recently in favor of l,cens-
ing gambling, for the Constitution
of Louisiana denounces gambling
and demands its suppression.
Perhaps, however, the Grand Jury
hal been reading Northern news
papers and determined that laws
for the suppression of vice are en-
acted merely to please respectable
people and MOTTO be enforced. With
pool-selling At Connecticut race
courses, in direct violation Of State
law, and with . lot of sailors of
the North Atlantic squadron get
ting fighting drunk 1t barrooms
in the prohibition State. of Maine,
it is not strange that easy-going
Louisianians should wonder why
they should be more strsit-laced
and law-respecting than the puri-
tanical Yankees.

The new tariff continues to make
some of its constructors ridiculous
and to promise that the govern
ment's deficit shall continue. We
were told that the new rates on
personal baggage of Americans re-
turning from Europe would yield
nearly million dollars . month,
but from present appearances the
sum will be at least nine tenths less,
and at the dangerous expense that
comes from putting individuals 10
more annoyance than is experienced
by large importers. We were
told that the new sugar schedule
would put twenty millions q year
into the Treasury, but the only
millions that have yet come of 1t
have goue into the treasury Of the
American Sugar Company, other
wise known IS the Sugar Trust,
the common stock of which has
bounded steadily upward until it
is thirty-five dollars a share above
the same company's preferred stock
and higher than any gilt-edge rail-
ways common stock. Meanwhile
the notorious ten per cent s'dis-
eliminating clause" which got
into the bill in q manner which NO
one who knows will explain, is
troubling the Attorney-G General 20
greatly that . decision is not ex-
pected until after the Cabinet has
considered the matter. As Con-
gress lacked either the ability or
the courage to reduce the expenses,
a revision of the tariff was neces-
sary; public complaint is only the
wretched manner in which the
work was done.-Collier.s Weekly.

Covington's Courage and
Humanity.

In view Of the fact that about
every other place in Louisiana has
closed its gates against New Or
leans, the little city Of Covington
presents a most praiseworthy and
admirable exception.
With open doors and extended
hands it welcomes the people of
this acknowledgement city,
and offers them Its pure balsamic
air and its generous hospitality.
1t is . fact recorded by the peo-
pie Of Covington, in every vista
ton Of yellow fever to New Or
leans, that they have never closed
their doors against our people, and
never had cause to regret their
broad-minded and most brave hui
manity. This is something that
should always be remembered to
their credit, and it should sink
deep in the hearts of those who
have experienced the hospitality Of
Covington in their time of need.
Picayune.
The above is true, so far q Cow
ington is concerned, but there are
, number of refugees from the city
here who would, if they could have
their way. prevent any more from
coming. They should bear in
mind the fact that the gates of
Covington are wide open, and the
privilege is extended to all others
to come and participate in the
same blessings which they them
selves are enjoying. The s'dog in
the manager" policy won't work
here, and if they are afraid Of their
city friends and neighbors, they
should have gone to some place
where they could have guaranteed

innate of this reserve has dwindled
to almost nothing; for as the wal
ended more than thirty years ago
the four-year-service survivors,
with . very small percentage Of ex.
ceptions, are now fully fifty five
years Of age. Yet when m"re than
forty thousand Of these veterans
paraded during. the Buffalo en-
campment, few days ago, some
regular officers who observed the
procession closely declared that at
least half OF the veterans were
physically quite as effective for SER
vice az any reserves that any other
nation could put into the field. An
experienced inspecting officer de-
clared that he would not ask a be-
ter body Of men from which to Sc
lect enough ar.illerists 20 man our

largest force that could be brought
