BEET SUGAR NOTES.
Item. From Colorado aud Other section

Items From Colorado and Other SECTIONS.
In our state. very large beet tops
grow. nearly cpualling the weight Of
the beet. From 136 bcets tested at
Fort Collins by Professor Hcaddcn
there were ~ ounces of leaves per
beet to 2I.5 OF root.
Beet leaves. under the influence OF
sunshine. produce the sugar which
stores itself in the body of the beet.
What glorious sunshine we have In
Colorado. Its effect is shown In the
high percentage Of sugar obtained In
all parts OF the state. 1t Is II strong
argument for factories. For beet
growers as well, the higher percentage
OF sugar the more value per ton mt the
factory.
Experiments In Oregon have demon
stratcd that great loss ensucs in sugar
results from bccts that have had
heavy rains fall upon them. Grow
ing bects will recover from rains:
bccts which have ceased growing and
are mature. will not" says the direct
or of the experiment station. One an
nlysis showed 100 sugar August 25th !;
from same field October 10th. 5.5.
DR.. Wiley says: ''The whole science
OF vegetable physiology and chemistry
teaches that sugar Is elaborated In the
leaves of the beet plant by the conden-
sation of formylaldchydc. which is pro-
duced by the action of the chlorophyl
cell upon carbonic dioyid and water
The beet itself has always been re-
gardcd simply as Il storchousc, ~
which the elaborated sugar Is conserv-
ed for the future use of the plant"
The conclusion reached by VIM. T.
Hcadden. the chemist at the State Ag-
ricultural College, is that white nj.
kali is. of itself. not detrimental to the
sugar beet so far MS its sugar content
Is concerned" This is also the con-
clusion of Professor Hilgard of the
University of California, as follows:
That bects grown in soil carrying
large amounts of alkali may be of
good quality, both in regard to purity
and per cent. of sugar" Except: tops
are heavier on alkalizcd ground.
Thinning. cultivation, irrigation nrc
now In active progress in the beet
fields of the valley. The first will soon
be over; the other two are kept up
through the growing season. The one
who will succeed best will be the one
who cultivatcs most. This is what the
Rural New Yorker has to say on gener-
nj principles: Before the soil begins to
bake, cultivate. stir it up for cultiva-
tons sake, cultivate. Tillagc hindcrs
'vnporntlon; tillage works weed 'rudi-
cation; tillage helps food elaboration:
cultivate" In this lies the secret of

Here is what an English paper has TO
say about how our country shall be run
on the British plan: THE suggestion
that Gen. Leonard Wood would be a
suitable person to fill the position OF
colonial secretary is one that will meet
with widespread approval. Gen. Wood
has made an enviable record at Santi-
ago and as colonial secretary would
give equal satisfaction" Wood, OF
course. as a splendid specimen Of the
American soldier but there is no show
for such a cabinet officer as colonial
secretary. The very word colonial is
abhorrent to every American. Bu.
these impudent Englishmen never
seem capable of learning the real SEN
timents that govern in this republic.

thousand Cuban soldiers. 1t Is stated.

their services would be invaluable.
Trained for years In exactly the same
sort OF bush and guerilla warfare now
carried on by the Filipinos. strong and
hardy. bred in tropic climes. the men
who fought for Gomez and Garcia
could battle with the rebels in the
most forceful fashion. Two difficult
problems would be solved together
how to crush the Filipinos and how to
provide work for the disbanded Cuban
