OIL AND CLIMATE ADAPTED TO Vt

LINCOLN. Nov. 10.-(Special.)-Fo the
last ten years all sugar beet experiments
conducted by the University OF Nepraska
experiment station have been carried on at
Ames The original experiments date back
to time when there were no sugar factories
in the state and when 1t was generally sup
posed that the sugar industry would never
be a factor in Nebraska agriculture. IL
was only after the experiment station haa
called attention to the fact that sugar beets
could be successfully raised here that a
sugar factory was finally erected at Granu
Island The interest impaired then mas
constantly increased and at present Ne
braska ranks next to California. the greatest
sugar beet producing state in the union
After considering a number of places
best representing the average SOIL OF the
state the experiment field was located in the
Platte valley at Ames. Largely through the
kindness Of r. v. Allen, president OF the
American Sugar Beet Growers association,
experiments have since been conducted IN
Nebraska on an extensive scale and the de-
velopments OF the industry in the state
show the results. Mr.. Allen has defrayed
all the expenses for labor and also erected
a laboratory building in which the chem'cai
work of investigation is conducted. These
experiments have been conducted without
any cost to the state.
The Investigations not only show the soil
and climate most capable of producing sugar
beets of a superior quality and excellence
but also the peculiar climatic conditions
| which make sugar beet raising impossible
The study OF respective soils in the state
and the country, social conditions and labor
| problems are also pursued
During the last year 6625 beets were sub
jected to a chemical analysis, of which 6,2S2
| contained more than 12 per cent OF sugar
the standard quantity; S,422 over 16 per cent
| of sugar: 800 over 1S per cent OF sugar, and
| 159 over 20 per cent of sugar The average
| Of all analyses was 16 per cent. The aver
| age yield per acre on 300 acres was fifteen
| tons.

Method of Planting.

The most satisfactory arrangement in
planting seed was found to be that OF drill
ing in rows eighteen inches apart and thin
ming the plants to eight inches apart in the
rows. 1t was also demonstrated that sugar
beets can be raised in this country with
much less cultivation than in European
countries.
1t is a question whether beet growers in
this region are not expending a greater
amount OF labor on their crops during the
cultivation season than is necessary. Such
at least may be the case IL they are follow
ing strictly the foreign traditions that have
followed sugar beet culture into this coun-
try.
The peculiar climate and soil conditions
of the transmissouri country have de-
veloped new problems for the beet planter.
The European beet grower has operated in
a region of large rainfall and moist atmos-
phere, where the soil is highly charged with
water during a great portion Of the year.
One of the greatest difficulties with which
he has to deal is to obtain proper aeration
of the soil, for such a soil is naturally diff
Guilty permeable by air. AS consequence,
from the time of plowing until all tillage
ceases there Is constant effort put forth
to stir the soil as deeply and as frequently
as possible, in order to allow the air to
penetrate.
In this region of lesser rainfall and greater
rate of evaporation there is not the same
opportunity for the soil to become saturated
with water, and consequently not the same
necessity for artificially promoting aera-
tion.

which succeeded. The rescuers
were led to the spot by Plumber
Vaughn, who was himself badly
burned about the face and arms.
He received these burns in an
heroic effort to rescue Mrs. Dick
ins. He and his assistant had
entered the room in which Mrs.
Dickins sat cleaning some rugs,
when the explosion happened.
The two men were thrown down
by the explosion. AS soon as
they found their feet, Vaughn
seized Mrs. Dickins and attempt
ed to drag her from the room.
The flames were, however, so
fierce that he was compelled to
drop her and flee for his own life.
He thinks that she was then dead.
The explosion was of such force
that it rent the stone steps in
front of the house. The plumbers
say that considerable quantities
of the gasoline had apparently
been spilled upon the floor. The
most sorrowful scene occurred in
connection with the recovery and
identification OF Mrs. Dickins'
body. In the midst of the great
est excitement the first report
was that the blackeneh body in
the upper story was that of the
wife of a distinguished admiral Of

from his home nearby and not

For The Enterprise.
Dearburn Letter.

DEAR Mr.. EDITOR A ira.
ditional story says that in the
long ago at or near the Great
Falls on the Catawba River, in
Chester county, S. O. above Rocky
Mount, there lived an Indian
chief whose only daughter per-
ished in the falls and who, it is
said, appears again every May
during the evenings twilight
in the midst of the spray.
Hence, an annual picnic is
held there on the first Saturday
in every May, in which the cit.
liens of Lancaster, Chester, Fair
field and Kershaw alike par
ticipate and for the past four or
five years there has been a picnic
at the falls on the fourth Of July.
SO every one for miles around
look forward to those two dates,
for we deem it no greater pleas
ure than to visit the lovely pic.
tureSque point--the scenery at
Catawba Falls.
Down in a peaceful valley,
Where winding river strays,
Mid the rocks and woods and hill sides,
We spend some happy days
Tuesday, the fourth, was very
dreary looking in the forenoon
but you could see buggy after
buggy passing in the showers;
but owing to the inclement
weather there were not so many
present as would have been other
wise, but after while the "clouds
rolled by" and the sun shown out
bright and clear and every one. as
they were leaving, could be heard
saying. "What delightful time
we've had to day" Refreshments
ot all kind were served. and no:
long before we left a large crowd
gathered right near the "Spark.
ling Carawba' and listened to the
sweet strains of music rendered
by MeSsrs. James a. GLADDEN.. of
Rocky Mount. and Mr.. Willie and
Miss Maggie GLADDEN., Of Milford.
Mr.. Willie Scott also played "A
SOLO on the guitar which every
one enjoyed to the fullest extent.
Music adds much to Il social
gathering, | think. The scenery
at the Fails" is just grand
those large and towering rocks are
worth coming to see.
The hills, the beautiful hills!
They ar" held in the hand Of God
/ And shall stand when our merry voices
Are silent beneath the sod.
Pow calm they look in the distance -
