The Grand Valley Fruit Crop.

Ex-Mnyor Allison of Grand juno
tion says that the Grand Valley will
have this year a profitable fruit crop.
Apples, pears, plums, cherries and
prunes promise to be abundant.
Peaches will be comparatively few,
but the prices are expected to be lar
ger than ever before. For the first
time the valley will produce more ap-
pies than peaches. Fifty sugar beet
experts arrived in Grand Junction re-
Gently from the sugar beet region
around Lehigh. In Utah. They are to
work among the farmers who planted
about $500 acres in beets about April
10. The sugar beet company imported
these "thinners," as the experts are
called. and will pay them. collecting
from the farmers when the crop is
sold. The foundation of the factory,
4S6xSG feet, is finished and 100 men

A Sugar Beet Experiment.

Secretary Wilson tells story which
illustrates the uses of adversely. A
farmer out west planted lot of
ground to sugar beets. They grew
beautifully and sent out n glorious TO-
liage of dark red leaves, with deep-red
veins in them. which lie admired very
much. A tornado came and cut them
OF close to the ground. The poor far
mer was discouraged. 1t was too late
to plant another crop. His whole
spring labor was wasted and his mon
ey was gone. He decided that he
would give up farming. advertise his
place for sale and move back east to
his wife's folks. Before they had fln-
ished packing. however, he noticed
new. healthy shoots coming from all
the beets and told his wife that he
guessed they would better hold up n
while and see what happened. In n
few weeks the foliage was rs fresh
and strong rs before, SO he hoed out
the weeds with confidence of getting
n good crop. When he dug up those
beets and took them to the sugar fac
tory that fall they We're found to con-
tain more saccharine matter than any
others that We're offered. and upon in
vestigation Mt the experiment station
1t was decided that their superiority
was due to the storm. From that
time on beet farmers have Initiated
the example OF nature and cut Off the
tops of their beets ut least once dur
ing the season.

Jesrerlc. Defeats Fi.,sImmons.

New York. June 1O.-James J. JEFF
fries Is now the worlds champion
heavyweight pugiiist. After eleven
ficrcely fought rounds In the new sport
ing club Mt Coney Island last night he
wrested the championship from Bob
Fitzsimmons with clean knockout.
FitZsimmons. as he frankly admitted
after the battle. found his opponent
too big and too strong for him. Time
and again blow from his opponent
knocked him down and when 1t was all
ended he had no excuses to make.
Jefrries Is veritable giant in stature.
and marvelously speedy for his I'M
mense size. Less than year ago he
appeared in New York n great awk-
ward, ungainly boy. To-day he Is the
1.-The. active. trained athlete.
FitZsimmons is just rs active. just
as clever. just as tricky and just as
fearless of punishment. He went un-
ialteringly to his defeat. He was the
aggressor even mt the moment when
he was bleeding and usteady, and
when stunned by the blows he recciv-
ed he reeled instinctively toward his
opponent.
There was no suggestion of interfer-
ence from the police. Chief Devery oc-
cupied n seat by the ring side. but he
never entered the ring. When 1t was
over he sent Captain Kenney to clear
the ring. The contest was pulled of
without wranEle and was devoid of the
brutal elements that Chief Devery ul-
legged he feared.

The French Cabinet Resigns.

Paris, June 12.-The Cabinet has re.
signed.
President Loubet accepted the resig.
nations OF the Cabinet ministers, but
requested them to remain In their of.
ices until their successors are chosen.
1t Is presumed NJ. Loubet will sum.
mon the presidents of the chambers
tomorrow in order to consult with
them on the formation of n new Cab
met. On leaving the Chamber, NJ. Du-
puy observed to n group of deputies In
the lobby:
I'VE hand over the business to luck.
Ter, but not to more courageous men,"
Socialists and Radicals alike are dis
satisfied with what they have consid
cred the contradictory attitude of the
Dupuy Cabinet in the Dreyfus affair.
The Moderates hope to secure the re.
turn of NJ. Meline to power The Revo-
lutionaries, Nationalist and anti-Sem-
ties hope, in their opposition to NJ.
Dupuy, to find more tolerant man in
his successor.
This Is the explanation of to-day's
voting, resulting In the downfall of the
Cabinet. The supporters of the govern
ment numbered only 173, recruited for
the most part from the ranks of the
Radicals.

The Boy and tile Farm.

The following Is extracted from n
paper read by II. NJ. Bell of Decatur.
ILL.,, before the Logan County Farmers
Institute: "How few real homes we
find on the farm. How often what we
call home is n place to hang up your
hat. get three meals n day and lie
down to sleep: II place where father
and mother and children stay. How
few of these stopping places do more
than satisfy our daily physical wants,
and utterly fail to supply our mental
and better necessities. Is 1t any Won
der that our boys and girls make COM
parison with the homes they imagine
exist in the towns and cities? Home
in its real sense is an Inspiration to all
boys and girls. II 1t exists on the
farm it is an inspiration to nobler,
better manhood. If 1t is not on the
farm there grows up in the boy re-
solve to get away from his crude en-
