From Farmers Review: Prof. Will
lard is receiving the heaviest mail" OF
any man in the state just now A few
days ago it was necessary to call in
the services of a drayman to have it
delivered at the college. All this Is
because OF the active interest of the
farmers of Kansas in the investigation
of the sugar beet industry which the
Kansas Experiment Station is carrying
on at the Agricultural College. About
seventy-five samples of beets have been
analysed thus far this season. The
percentage of sugar in the Juice ranges
from to Is. The average is about 10
per cent. The highest percentage comes
from Cloud county, Mr. A. Munger OF
Hollis having sent in two samples
which contained 1921 per cent and
1853 per cent respectively. Kearney
county sends in the second best SAM
pies, ]. w. Songstreth and H. C. Mich
OILS Of Lakin each having sent in sam
pies which contained 1853 per cent and
1913 of sugar respectively. Other
counties which have sent in samples
that contained from 1921 per cent to
1918 per cent Of sugar are Reno. Har-
vey, Greenwood, Washington and
Clark. The above named locations
have demonstrated that they can grow
sugar beets rich enough for the man
ufacture of sugar The next problem
for them to solve will be the cost of
building and operating factory, as
compared with the running expenses
of factories elsewhere. Upon this COM
parison will probably devolve the flu.

The Farmers Orchard.

| At the meeting of the Central Illinois
/ Horticultural society, H. Augustine
spoke on the farmers orchard for
home use In part he said: 1.-The loca-
ton of the farmers orchard should be
as near his house as possible, provided
suitable soil can be found. II condi-
tons are suitable it should be placed
to the north and west of the farm
buildings. Well-drained land is gem
orally good, on any side will do, but do
not use slough land, even if it has
been drained. Any kind of land should
be drained, as drainage improves the
condition of the ground. 1t is best to
have the ground SUBSIDIZED Sub-soiling
permits the rain water to distribute
Itself more quickly and evenly through
the ground. Ground so treated can be
easily penetrated by the roots, which
will then go down to greater depth
than in ground not SUBSIDIZED. A small
orchard should be planted on every
,arm.
Lay OF the ground in check rows,
thirty feet apart each way. The marks
Fan be made with pillow, running the |
lurrow deep, and then at the intersec-
lions little digging will have to be |
lone. Set out your trees one inch |
deeper than they were in the nursery
rows. In setting the roots put fine dirt |
around the roots and work it in by |
agitating them. This is to prevent the
formation of air cavities under the
roots. Throw in only enough water 10
pack the dirt around the roots. Pack
in the dirt almost as solid as you
would around fence post. You must

CHAPTER W

Ruby has now been the self-consti-
tuted instructress of Bob and Meg for
nearly a month. The novelty of her
voluntary task has worn of; the chill
dren too have taken of that feeling of
restraint and shyness which caused
them in the beginning to sit
like little models of patience
during the two hours devoted
to lessons. They have now be-
gun to realize the fact that their lib
erty is restricted during the morning
visits to the Wilderness, and both are
beginning to regard their disinterested
benefactress simply In the light of
jailer. Ruby possesses none of those
qualities SO essentially necessary to
win childish hearts-she has no pa
tience, no tact, and not an atom of
real sympathy for her young charges.

Keeping Ke1fer Pears.

H. M. Dunlap says that the way to
keep Keifer pears so that they will
ripen up well is to put them in box
and shut them up tight. They should
not be picked too green, which is the
case when the pear hangs so tightly
on the twig that you can hardly get the
pear of without taking the twig with
it. The time to pick the pear is when
it is ripe enough to separate readily
from the twig. One man picked his
pears when they were as hard as rocks.
made a pile of them in his orchard and
covered them with leaves and straw.
intending to remove them when he
had time He left them till about th,
end of October, and till after there had
been one or two pretty hard frosts.
When he uncovered them he was sur
prised to find them well ripened and
beautifully colored.

springs up with this and the cattle or
other stock eat both down to the
ground. The wild oat is thus prevented
from ripening its seed. The land is
turned under in the fall and wheat
sown at once. This. of course, applies
to winter wheat growing regions. In
spring wheat sections the land would
be plowed up in the fall or early
spring before crop of wild oat seed
could find its way from adjacent neigh
borhoods.
