New York, Aug. 2s-The reaction in the
stock market which took place today was
past due when it put in its appearance,
and although it did not assume any great
proportion, was perfectly healthy under
the circumstances and served in a meas
ure to chill bearish arder and created the
impression that the movement was likely
to go still further. This belief was
strengthened by the fact that the. oper-
ators who until very recently had been
most active in bearing prices were gen
orally ranged on the bear side. their
change of front no doubt being for the
purpose of getting values to higher level
preparatory to giving the market another
boost which barring untoward happenings
it is likely to see in the not far distant
future. However, the advancing tendency
of prices was not wholly without resist
ance, as at intervals during the day fair
sized breaks occurred. London seemed in
clined to take a more hopeful view of the
situation in China, and the security mar
ketS at that center were very firm In
addition to this the foreigners renewed

Sugar Beet Notes.

| ~ ~ ~
Agricultural College, Mich, Feb. -
Prof Clinton ID. Smith, director of the
| Michigan experiment station, - Out
with statement that is Of much inter
est To the thousands of sugar beet grow
ers of Michigan, his desire being TO cor
rect misapprehension existing in the
minds of great many farmers who re-
side in the vicinity of beet sugar factor
les
MIR. Smith calls attention 10 the fact
that the experiment station has under
taken great many experiments III the
growing of sugar beets. During the
past ten years il has scattered beet seed
over the state, and 10 ascertain the
quality OF the beets produced 1t has
tested the beets sent III by the growers.
These results warrant the statement that
good beets can be grown in most parts
OF the state
In many instances the growers have
become dissatisfied with the test results
given them by the factories and have
sent their beets TO the college. The re-
suits of the college analyses have been
used a a basis for an attack on the good
faith of the factory the grower evidently
forgetting that the beets sent to the
college are invariably selected, and do
not come anywhere near representing
the crop as il runs and also losing sight
of the fact that the beots sent TO the
college are almost invaIibly dried out
and almost invaribly withered and that.
thei efore, the statement of the chemist
regarding them, while absolutely true,
is grossly misleading 60 the person who
does not take these facts into consider
alton.
As result of this condition OF affairs,
the station authorities have finally de-
cided not to analyze hereafter any beets
except those grown in connection with
its own experiments, or in cases where
the samples are selected by station Off
cials, or when some condition arises
which makes the analysis advantageous
to the state at large.
Attention is also called by Professor
Smith 10 another matter Of considerable
Importance 20 the farmers of Michigan.
Very frequently he says farmer be-
comes anxious to know just what his
soil contains, and sends "A small sample
Of his soil to the station for analysis An
analysis of the soil, to be of any value
whatever, must be made Of "A sample
carefully selected by an expert, i'll order
that it may fairly represent the general
soil Of that section. A complete analy'
'ls of samples sent would, in SO cases out
IF 100, wholly mislead both the farmer
lnd chemist, for the reason stated.
Further than this, clerical analy- !
us alone does not indicate the agriCul- |
ural and economic value Of the soil. |
rhe size of the yield of crops depends rs
much upon the physical condition as up |
N the chemical composition. For this |
eason Professor Smith emphasizes the |
oily of sending in small sample of soil |
or analysis.
