For peculiar marriage customs the
Eegritos cannot be beaten. The young
man who seeks a bride first obtains the
favor OF her parents and then pursues
her, catching her in his arms. She
breaks loose and runs, and does not
yield until he has caught her several
times. Finally no leads her in triumph
to her homo. Here the father drags
the youth up ladder to tho floor of
their hut. The mother drags up the
maiden. They are made to lneel, and
the father pours over them a cocoanut
she'll full OF water. fie then bumps
their heads together, and the ceremony
is completed. They spend their honey
moon In the depths of the mountains,
and for Ave days and nights are lost to
sight, after which they come back to
everyday life. Then there is another
marriage custom. Instead Of the
youth and maiden being dragged mp
the hut ladder, they arc made to
climb two sapplings that grow near
each other. Then an elder of the
group grasps the sapplings and draws
them together until the heads Of the
young couple touch. with a kiss OF
bump, according TO the force used,
This makes them man and wife.--N.

confined to speculative circles. Holi-
day trade, ON the other hand, has been
given decided impetus, and compare
sons with the same period OF preceding
years are uniformly favorable, little
doubt remaining that although retail
trade in seasonable lines has been af-
fected in some localities by unfavor-

enjoyed exceptional activity. As re-

as many staples have advanced this

far the larger number of quotations

strength OF textiles is still most nota.

Cotton goods are heSvily sold ahead

ness has already been booked. Raw

SUGAR BEETS.
Conclusions From Experiments Com
Quoted by Oregon Agricultural sta
tion--lndustry In Washington.

The Oregon agricultural experiment
station at Corvallis has issued PAM
phlet in which it presents the conclu-
sions reached after five years of investi-
cation concerning beet sugar produc-
tion in Oregon. 1t says three sections
of the state are exceptionally well
adapted to the industry, viz: Union
county in the vicinity Of La Grande;
Malheur county, in the vicinity, of On
tario, and Arcadia; Jackson county, in
the vicinity OF Medford, possessing as
it does large area capable of produc-
ing very large supply Of heets.
Water, fuel and limestone are easily
and cheaply obtainable in zach To-
cality.
The most serious obstacle in any OF
these localities is the limited number
OF people available for field help at
short notice, especially would this be
true in Malheur county.
Western Oregon is not well adapted
to the industry on account of the early
fall rains and soil which is very
heavy and sticky, and tenacious to the
beet when wet. and it also lacks a
cheap lime supply.
Beet growing in Malheur county
would have to be under system of ir-
rigation similar to that in Utah.
II beets are planted in the middle OF
April either in eastern or southern Ore
gon nothing is gained by delaying har-
vest later than the first week in Sep
tember.
The Original Klein Wsnzlebener and
the Elite Klein Wanzlebener have
proven themselves we'll adapted to the
conditions in the Grande Ronde valley,
and have both given good results in
jackson county. The former has given
the better results in the latter place.
Each has given better results in each
place than the yilmorin.
In eastern Oregon beets may be left
in the ground quite late without seri-
ous loss from second growth.
Beets for sugar production should not
be planted ON alkali soils.
Beets may be allowed to grow much
larger here than in Germany and still
hold an excellent per cent of sugar.
The hill lands OF jackson county are
not we'll adapted to the industry.
The establishment OF sugar factory
makes possible most excellent oppor'
tunity for high development of the
dairy industry. This is of no mean
consequence when it is remembered
that all three of the localities which
present favorable conditions for the in
dustry produce immense quantities Of
alfalfa, and yet ship in dairy products
in large amounts. Why not produce
them at home and supply the neighbor
ing sections?
The establishment of sugar factory
means also the development of large
fuel and lime industry.

Car. Of the orchard.

The past year, with its unusual eli
matic conditions, has been marked by
signal neglect of tillage operations in
the orchards of the state. One result
of this has been the formation of an ex-
ira large amount OF fruit wood and
buds, and under ordinary conditions,
next spring there will set very much
greater amount OF fruit than will be
best for both the interest of the tree
and the orchardist. The orchard
should receive judicious, yes, vig-
Gus pruning this winter, to the end
that liberal thinning of fruit spurs shall
be had, otherwise the more expensive
work of hand thinning must be done or
else there will be produced mass OF
small inferior fruit for which no mar
ket can be found, and as too often oc-
ours, the larger part of the crop be-
comes watse.
Now is the time to make thorough
examination of the trees; study the
various systems of pruning and the
ends they are sought to reach. Watch
the insect and fungous foes and the
climatic effects upon the fruit and
foliage buds, and with the opening OF
spring he prepared to give the orchard
a vigorous but judicious pruning and
then follow this with generous tillage
OF the soil. Only under conditions
like these can we expect to get the best
of returns from the orchard next year,
under the usual Oregon climatic condi-
tions. Oregon Agricultural College
and Experiment Station.

waverly Sugar Factory.


The new sugar factory at Waverly,
Spokane county. Washington, began
operations December 8. This is the
first beet sugar factory to be built in
this state, and the second in the Pacific
Northwest. The farmers in the vicinity
OF the factory raised about 400 acres OF
beets this year, the yield being to ~
tons per acre. ID. @. Corbin. of Spo-
kane, owner of the factory is paying
81 per ton for beets containing II to IA
per cent OF sugar and 33 1-3 cents per
ton additional for each per cent OF
sugar avove H. The average price for
the entire crop is about $3.50 per ton.
Taking the average yield as eight
tons, half way between the extremes,
this would give q gross return OF $S6
per acre. The cost per acre of the
beets delivered at the factory is in the
neighborhood of $25 to $50. This
leaves some profit to the average beet
grower, and considerable to those
whose beets give yields of 10 or II
tons per acre. Another year, when
the farmers know more Of beet culture,
and are in position to give their crops
the attention they need, better results
may fairly be expected. This ia the
beginning Of an industry which will,
if successful, become an important feat
ure of Eastern Washington agriculture.
1t will give the farmers of the Palouse
country q profitable crop to grow in
rotation with wheat. When the farm
ers have learned the value of sugar
beet pulp as stock feed, it will also
doubtless result in an increase of live
stock on the wheat ranches in the vi
cinity of the factory.
