The ayowed reason OF the administra-

bsolutely silly, more especially since
Bpain has already refused our offer OF
Mediation. What hopes are there that

Numbering Thread.

The questions, "Why is spool cotton
numbered as it is; and why are figures
not used in regular order?" are often
asked. The explanation is this: The
numbers on the spool express tho num-
Der Of hanks which are required to
wind a pound. The very finest spinning
rarely exceeds 800 hanks to the pound.
while in the very coarsest there is about
half pound in each hank. The more
common qualities, however, those from
which sewing thread is usually made.
run from 10 to 80 hanks to the pound,
and the spools on which it is wound are
numbered 10 to so in accordance.

SUGAR BEET SOIL.

A recent bulletin cf the Arizona
Experiment Station says. 1.-The
query that presents itself to most
people when the matt4r of growing
sugar beets is presented, is what
kind of sol is best for them This
may be replied to IN general way
by the statement that any moder
ately fertile soil, such as will grow
wheat, corn potatoes, cotton, etc,
will be found suited to sugar beets.
and even soils too salt or alkaline
to grow these crops will produce
good beets Sugar beets have been
found good crop to plant upon
soils somew hat alkaline, with a
view of improving the soil, this
crop having been found valuable
for extracting end removing aikall
in suall quantities. Experiments
have been made with growing upon
extremely light. sandy soils and
upon heavy and clay soils; upon
very sterile and fertile soils, with
results leading to the conclusion
that extremes in all these classes of
soils should be avoided, while me-
dium soils of all kinds give salts
factory yields. One Of the essen
tials is that the soils should have
dep IL that is, it must be of fri
allie nature to the depth Of foot
or more. Another is that there
shall be no ''hardpan" near the
surface. A calcarous soil has been
found to produce the greatest per
cent. of sugar. In too rich soil
the beets grow too large, have little
sugar and grow too much leaves.
In a poor soil the beets may be
rich in sugar, but the yield will be
too small to be paying crop: In
a wet soil the beets are too larS
and contain an Insufficient amount
of sugar. A deartll of water PRO-
duces a small crop and woody
A heavy clay CIR adobe
is not loose enough to be easily
worked and requires too much care
in irrigating and cultivating to
give good returns.

! Wednesday morning, on petition
signed by what appeared to b al.
the canal directors in the Salt Ei1v-
err valley, Chief, J lstice Truesdo!e
re-appointed Frank P. Trott TO the
of cA of water commissioners for the
/ county OF Maricops. The appoint-
ment is very generally comm ended
as duriug Mr. Trott's adminisrra-
ton there has been minimum OF
com pIaint in regard to the distri-
button of tho rivers flow in ell
seasons Of scarcity. Mr.. Trott is
civil engineer of the broadcast ex-
perience in irrigation works aud
with a thorough acquaintance with
the peculiar conditions governing
the soy gthwcstern irrigation enter-
prise. @
In the administration Of his office
Mr.. Trott has practically super
vision of all the head zanjeros of
the canals and as well has a special
assistant who daily inspects the
gauges of.tte different canals, max :
ing therefor journey of twenty
i've miles. The reports of the
gauge inspectorsand Of the zanieros
and head gate men are telephoned
the water commissioner and ,upon
the basis Of the reports the daily
distribution of water is ordered.
Every phase of the river is watch
ed and reported to the different
canals, gother with statement
of the appropriation for that day
of the canals of the valley. The
system works admirably, doing
away with all uncertainty. As the
apportionment is made strictly ac-
cording 10 q .rule of the district
court accepted by al! the canals,
there no longer is any reason for a
valid com laint.-Stockman.
