Sugar Reefs and sorghum In Ohio.

Sugar Reefs and Sorghum In Ohio.
The general results CT analyses of
sugar beets for 1898 in Ohio show that
the beets were less rich in sugar and
showed lower purity than in 1897.
Many fine plots of beets were grown in
the state, however, notwithstanding
these less favorable results. Taking the
experience of the two seasons, it is evil
dent that the problem of profitable beet
sugar production is not yet solved. for
the northern third Of the state at least.
The state station desires that tests
should be repeated by those who have
had experience in growing beets in
1897 and 1898. and to this end it will
furnish tested seed in quantities sufi-
cient to plant one-fourth to one-half
acre of beets to such as will undertake
to carry out the test and report the re-
suits as in 1898. The station also offers
to send out sorghum seed raised under
the auspices of the national department
of agriculture at Medicine Lodge, Kan.
1t desires to send this sorghum seed es-
pecially into the southern counties,
where experience has shown the condi-
tions to be unsuited to the culture of
the sugar beet. Farmers willing to CO.
operate should send their addresses at
once to the experiment station, Woos-
ter, o., stating the area Of land which
they are willing to cultivate.

Rest Time to Seed Redtop.

Redtop can be proftably seeded in
spring, more so than at any other time,
according to Orange Judd Farmer. It
can be sown on fall wheat and slightly
narrowed in with slant tooth harrow
the same as timothy or clover. or the
seed bed can be prepared especially for
this crop. In the event of dry season
the latter method would probably give
the best results. If sown alone, apply
about 90 to "a pounds of seed per acre.
This grass may be sown with timothy,
in which case 12 pounds per acre is
sufficient

Their Part In History.

A Greek historian desired very in
tensely to say word about the people
of the city where he was born. He felt
he could not write his history without
saying something of his own native
place, and accordingly he wrote this,
"While Athens was building temples
and Sparta was waging war my coun-
trymen were doing nothing" I am
afraid there are too many Christians Of
whom, if the book were written as to
what they are doing in the church, it
would have to be said they have been
doing nothing all their lives.-Charlea

The average yield Of potatoes through

All soils of ordinary fertility contain
sufficient potential plant food to pro-
duce abundant crops. By tillage and
drainage if necessary part of this po-
tential plant food can be made avail
able for the use Of plants.
Early planting of potatoes and fire.
quent tillage to conserve moisture will
ordinarily give best results.
Early planting necessitates vigorous
spraying with bordeaux mixture and

blight and beetles.
Success with potatoes depends largely
upon the preparation given the soil be-
fore the potatoes are planted. Flowing
should be deep, and at the time of plant
ing soil should be mellow and loose.
On soils which are likely to be affect
ed seriously by droughts it is especially
important that the potatoes be planted
early and deep and the tillage should
be frequent and level
On soils which are not well drained,
either naturally or artifcially, and on
clay or clay loam soils, potatoes may
be planted somewhat shallow, and slight
hilling may be practiced with benefit.

THE CARTER CASE.
Preparations Made to Prosecute tn
Alleged Recommendations

Preparations Made to Prosecute the
Alleged Co-eOnspirators.
Preparations looking to an indictment OF
former Captain Carter's alleged Cocoon
spirators have been going on in the Office
of the Attorney General for several weeks.
It is now said that the papers for presen-
tation to the grand jury at Savannah, Ga.
have all been completed. and Will be sub
mitted to the jury at its next session on
November IA. With such great care has
the evidence been collected and the papers
prepared that the officials of the Depart
ment of Justice expect an immediate in
dictment of the officials Of the Atlantic
Contracting Company, who, it is said, were
implicated with Carter in the fraudulent
work at Savannah. As the Federal court
for the Savannah district meets on the
same day as the grand jury. it is thought
probable that the returns will be made
at once to the court and warrants issued
accordingly.
It is learned that the officials of the De-
partment Of Justice contemplate not only
the prosecution of the officers of the At
lantic Contracting Company. but that they
will make an effort to secure the prose
cution of Carters father-in-law. it being
charged that as Carter's deposits were made
as he said. under power of attorney from
Mr.. Wescott, the latter was probably pos
sessed of some knowledge regarding Car
ter's dishonest proceedings.
