In large field Of sugar beets being
grown In the vicinity of a western
town we lately saw 20 or more boys
and girls busy at work thinning and
wedding the crop. One very admirable
thing about this new crop is that it
will furnish employment to a large
contingent of labor of this class--a
class for which it is not easy to secure
employment. All boys and girls of this
age from 10 to 14-would be better
off every way to be partially employed
during the summer vacation, and beet
culture gives the opportunity.

The farmers of the west are very
generally showing their teeth to the
proposed trusts being organized by the
owners of the thrashing outfits. 1t
matters not that the price for the work
agreed upon may be an entirely rea-
sonable. one. The sentiment connected
with the matter will result in the use
of the horsepower machines not in the
trust or in the buying of new outfits by
little companies of farmers. This trust
will not work.

Many man throughout the north
west will this fall have to face the
problem of reducing the stock on his
farm to correspond with his supply of
forage While there should always be
culllng out done each fall, 1t will
have to be done more largely this year
than usual. Whatever is done should
be on the line of not attempting to
winter more stock than can be well
fed and cared for. The most protitless
speculation farmer ever goes into is
to attempt to winter ten head of stock
on food which is only sufficient for five
head.

Observation leads us to the opinion
that when three inches of rainfall oc-

sometimes happens, not more than half
of it will find Its way into the ground,
the surplus running off into the natu-

This explains why the effects of a
heavy summer rain are often transient.

The federal courts have recently held
that farmer cannot be forced into

other lines of business.

A friend of ours has a hobby in the
matter of highway Improvement. He
claims that if the natural water course
which compels the placing of culvert
across the road was tile drained the
need of the culvert would be done
away with, While this may be true,
provided the area dralned by such wa
terway was very limited, the plan
would utterly fail if it We're otherwise.
The drain pipe and the culyert to prop
erly do the work required of them must
be equal to taking care of the maxi
mum flow of water in such waterway,
which no ordinary system of under
draining could do.

During dry seasons there is much
temptation to pillow up and try to cul-

right to subdue these spots and the
right thing to tile drain them, If they
cannot be so tile drained they should
be got into grass as soon as possible
and be so kept.
