THIS BEATS ALL.
b n Hall Shows Board Of Agricul-
ture q Thing or Two.

A few days ago a note was made in
the newspapers of a three-Dound sugar
beet which had been sent to the state
board of agriculture as a sample of a
good-sized beet. The item was seen by
H. H. Hall, secretary of the Arkansas
City Milling company. and he went out
into field which he is raising, party
as an experiment and party as feed for
cattle, and he pulled two samples from
his field which he has just sent Score
tary Coburn. One of them weighs IL
pounds and the other 81 pounds.
Such beets are useless for sugar Dur
poses, however. The best beet for sugar
weighs between one and two pounds
and grows almost entirely below the
ground. 1t isn't the biggest beet that
contains the most sugar. The big beets
contain SO great a per cent Of lash" or
solid matter that the sugar cannot be
successfully extracted from them The
ideal beet grows until about the mid
die of July and from that time on it Is
stationary so far as size goes, but 1t
wants plenty of sunshine which stores
the sugar away in the beet. Rains dur
ing August will often cause the beets to
start a new growth and destroy them
for sugar purposes.

Hill, who never had much of import

Summer finally passed into autumn

published. Hill, with his knowledge of

a gaudy ornament for the girl and had
also supplied himself with some big
cigars for Giacomo, and when they
came in for their usual call, he pre-
scented the gifts with speech in his
villainous Italian. Angelica received
hers with pleasant smile and
"Grazia, signor," and Giacomo took
his cigars in silence. Hill smiled and

frown, and Pietro turned away. AS
he passed HILLS desk he laid little

Angelica sent it back" he said,
simply, and then went slowly down the
stairs. Hill opened the package and
found in it the little ornament he had
given the girl that afternoon. There
was a tiny red stain on it, but Hill was
too busy then to do more than won
