According to the Nevada section of
the Department Of Agriculture the
condition of all the principal crops.
such as wheat, barley oats and alfalfa
is highly satisfactory and almost
without exception promises as well as
could he desired at the present stage
Of growth. In Lincoln county, the

is in the stack. In the northern half
Of the State all crops are from one
to two weeks in advance Of last year.

ADVICE TO OUR BOYS.

Every boy should remember that
old maxim !@tllat as the saplng head
eth the tree inclineth" and endeavor
to take the first important step in
LIE in right direction. 1t is far cas-
Ter to go ahead than t. turn back
and start over, far custer to keep ones
reputation above reproach than to
purify it alter it has once been de-
filed aid far easier to follow the
pathway Of life when boy that will
lead to high and respected manhood
than to take the road that leads to
blasted hopes and al unsatistied flu
ture. In every community about
every boy by the time he reaches the
age of twenty -one is known either us
good, honest industrious young
man or as devil may care, INDECENT,
worthless young fellow. While in
some cases reformation may come
later in life, the boy who by bus own
acts has fastened upon himself In his
early life and in his boyhood home,
the name of being rather a worthless
character, has difficult task to sue
coed, as hls past life will follow him,
no matter where he may go, and will,
like Banquo's ghost, never down. On
the other band the boy who was
known at home as Il good, straight
forward, young man will be given an
opportunity for de yelopment of
talent or judgment, and it he is sui.
ticiently well endowed by nature to
grasp the situation and make sue
cess Of the opportunity; his future is
assured. Hence, every boy should
understand the value Of commencing
life Alright, should not be ashamed to
do any honorable work and remeul-
her that idleness is the bane of boy
hood. 1t breeds iudolence and habits
that too often undermine tile health
and character OF the most promising
The busy boy has always healthy
mind, a cheerful word and a pleasant
smile for all with whom he may come
in contact, while the indolent boy is
usually a cigarette tiend and conse-
quently his mind is diseased, has
language profane and his smile but a
sickly imitation OF what it should be.
We hope every boy Ill Eiko will read
this and allow it to become indelibly
Impressed upon his memory, as every
word is true.

PEACH PROTECTION.
Results of Investigation by Prof. WhItten
of the Missouri University.

Results of Investigation by Prof. WhItten.
of the Missouri UniversIty.
The Missouri Experiment station (Co-
lumbia) will issue an elaborate report,
giving the results of a years expert
ments with each diseases. Advance
summary of this report shows:
The principal efforts of Prof. J. c. Whitten,
dean of the horticultural department. of Mis-
souri, university, W re directed toward finding
preventive for winter diseases which are SO
disastrous to peach crops Whitening the twigs
and buds by spraying with whitewash was
given more attention than any other means Of
protection. Careful observation showed that
warm, sunny days In winter or very early
spring are indirectly more dangerous to the
peach-buds in this state than in the very
cold weather. Peach buds are able to endure
Is or 20 degrees below zero without injury, pro-
vided that the wood ripens properly in autumn
and that the cold weather comes on gradually.
On the other hand, the buds of peaches on a
southern slope may swell and grow when the
temperature reaches 30 or 60 degrees IL boVe
zero If there is bright sunlight. After few
days of such weather sudden drop to near the
zero mark is almost certain to destroy the buds
that have been stimulated even into slight
growth during the previous warm days. 1t
should be constantly borne in mind that peach
buds may swell and grow even when the ground
is frozen and the roots of the tree are inactive
Following Is the summary OF results TeaC4eQ
by the station regarding winter protection:
l. In this latitude winter-killing of the fruit
buds of the peach is usually due to the un-
favorable effects Of freezing after they have
been stimulated into growth by warm weather
during winter or early spring.
2. This early swelling and growth of the buds
is due to the warmth they receive; is inde-
pendent of root action, and may take place on
warm, sunny days in winter while the roots are
frozen and dormant.
3 Peach fruit buds may safely endure a
temperature of 10 to 20 degrees below zero,
provided they mature well in autumn. are en-
tirely dormant and the cold comes on gradu-
ally.
4 Zero weather may kill fruit buds that have
swollen during previous warm DAYS
5. Shading or whitening peach trees to pre-
vent their absorbing heat on sunny days op-
poses growth of the buds and is consequently
a protective measure. Whitened buds remained
practically dormant until April, when unpro-
tected buds swelled perceptibly during warm
days late in February and early in Marth.

MISSOURI SUGAR BEET.
Agricultural Department Report ON Anal
ysis of Products.

ysis OF Productss
The reports from Missouri farmers
upon the results of the experiments in
beet raising, together with samples of
beets grown, are beginning to come in
to the agricultural departm ent. Wash
ington. Chief Chemist Wylie has been
having an analysis made of the beetS
submitted. While the results will be
interesting. the number of beets ex-
amined from Missouri is not as yet suf-
fcient, Prof. Wylie says, to justify him
in giving any opinion as to the rank
which Missouri will take as q sugar
producing state.
A beet which will pay as a sugar
producer should weigh from 16 to "a
ounces and should have yield OF SUI
gar of not less than 1850 per cent. The
ideal beet is one which weighs from Is
to 20 ounces, and yields II per cent of
sugar.
The Missouri counties from which
samples have been submitted, together
with the analysis made by the chemist
of the agricultural department, are as
follows: st. Clair county, 90 per cent. {;
Gentry, 1l.59 per cent. This is a good
beet, and its culture would pay. Noda-
way sent two samples, one showing a
percentage of s per cent, and the 9TH
er 9 per cent; Grundy, IL per cent,
and an excellent beet. From Cooper,
seven samples were submitted, the
highest yield being 1914 per cent. The
reports on other counties were as fol-
lows: Franklin, 1870 per cent; :;
beet weighed nearly a pound; Law
renee, 2.S per cent, a very poor beet;
Adair, 10 per cent; st. Charles, IL. 55
per cent, this beet weighed Al ounces,
and would give yield of 210 pounds of
sugar to the ton; Monroe, IL per cent,
beet weighed II ounces, and the yield
of sugar from it would be 200 pounds
to the ton; Montgomery, 1874 per
cent, beet very small and would not
pay to raise; Wright, IA per cent, beet
weighed Is ounces, and would give a
yield of 260 pounds per ton; Pike 12
per cent, beet very small, its weight
being only ounces; Jasper, two
samples, one weighing 4 ounces and
giving a yield of IA IA per cent, and
the other weighing 2S ounces, and Civ
ing a yield of 1O.3s per cent.
When Prof. Wylie was asked if he
would give an opinion upon Missouris
prospects as a sugar-producing state,
basing it upon the samples of beet
culture which had been submitted to
the department and analyzed, he said,
1T would be very foolish of me to do
SO. The tests thus far made have not
been sufficient upon which to base
judgment of any worth. The returns
from some of the counties are most
promising, while those from other
counties are poor. 1t will be necessary,
therefore, to have full returns before
we will be able to judge correctly
what Missouri will be able to do in
this line. Franklin county, Grundy
county, st. Charles county, Monroe
county, Wright county and Gentry
country would seem, from the samples
of their culture which we have
analyzed, to have most favorable soil
for sugar beet raising.
Notwithstanding all our painstak-
ing, it appears that some of the Mis-
souri, farmers, like those in other
states, have not obeyed instructions,
and the poor showing from some of the
counties may be due largely to this
negligence or lack of understanding.
