The Beet Question Discussed.


The farmers living northwest of
Holly held meeting at the Rob-
son school house last Saturday
night to discuss the sugar beet
business and the manner of hand
ling the beets by the factory.
The action of the company in
taring the beets at the factory in
stead of at the shipping point,
which it has been doing since
freezing weather. began, is gener-
ally unsatisfactory'to the growers
and they are taking steps to to.
ward remedying the matter. 1t is
claimed that on account Of the
heavy traffic on the Santa Fe and
the enormous supply OF beets on
hand at the factory, the beets are
often on the cars week or more
before the tare and test are taken.
The beets freeze and thaw and
often by the time the test is taken
they have deteriorated to such an
extent that the grower gets al
most nothing for his shipment. CT
course the factory people may not
be responsible for this condition
of affairs, but if it is true that such
condition does exist it is hard on
the grower and if continued it will
eventually cause him to quit the
business. 1t is, therefore, -incum.
bent upon all concerned to work
together harmoniously and to see
if something cannot be done TO
remedy the difficulty, SO that there
will be no loss to the grower or to
the factory after the beets have
been produced. At the meeting
Messrs. G. r. Mars,on and w. n.
Smith were selected as q commit
tee to visit Rocky Ford and con-
suit the officials of the company
with a view to placing the bust.
ness upon more satisfactory
basis.

ARKANSAS VALLEY SOIL.

The department of agriculture
has completed the first of a series
of Investigations regarding the
soils in the Arkansas valley. The
result is expected to prove inval.
liable to farmers in Colorado.
Experts have been at work in
the Arkansas valley for the last
eight months, analyEing the soil,
to determine what crops can best
be raised. Serious attention was
paid to the excess of alkali and the
means of eradicatiug it.
The f.rce consists of FIVE men in
charge of Macy Laphhm of WASH
ington. and the result of their
work is shown in an elaborate re
report. including three sets of maps
to be published by the depart.
ment.
Mr. Lapham said. "As whole
the soils we found were especially
well adapted to agricultural pur-
poses. We classified about a doz-
en- types; in fact the types seem
to be pretty we'll mixed in that
section. We did not And an
alarming amount of alkali, except
In places where seepage was con.
siderable. The drainage question
is the important one in connec.
ton with alkali evil. Other TEN.
porary remedies have been tried,
but where there is much alkali, or
where it Is liable to be brought
out. owing TO the proximity of the
water table to the surface, the in +,
stallation of n thorough system of
the drains is the only effective
remedy"
Maps We're made, one inch to
the mile. showing the entire in.
vestigations. The first shows a
general typographical features,
and the types of soil with locality.
The second is an alkali map show
ing area where it exists and dan
ger signals. An underground water
way is also perfected, showing the
depth and extent of the under.
ground flow, seepaSe and other
conditions.

Murphy q Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, Sept. 1S.-The early cot
ton market was lower for near, and in
some instances, better for distant posi-
tions. Gables when we opened were
short of expectations since it was sup
posed that market would continue to
present a very stiff front on numerous
cables at hand yesterday of improve
ment at Manchester, and anxiety on
the part of mills. The local DISPOSE
ton was still very favorably inclined
since evidence of a short crop was ac-
cumulating, and outside speculation
was broadening because of the belief
that the crop might, after all, prove
very short in the event of early frost
and even, with deferred frost not more
than ample for needs, and possibly
below it, The weather reports early
in the day indicated more or less rain
at Memphis, Little Rock, New Or
leans, Palestine and Vicksburg, which
was regarded as against improvements
of the crop. Receipts are heavy, but
continue to cut little figure. Liver
pool was a fair buyer at the opening,
but later prices receded on profit-tak-
ing, and it was felt that reaction was!
only natural. Confidence in much
higher level in the long run was gen.
orally felt cables were half to quarter
lower, whereas an improvement of six
to eight had been looked for. Cold
rain was reported in Northern Texas.

New Orleans, Sept. 18.-Liverpool ad-

our market opened 1@2 points lower

ceipts and easier feeling in spots. Later
in the session rumor of a cold wave

and warm weather was predicted Off
gave way, making the net loss 1@2
profits on the day. Receipts continue
large and spinners are not buying with
the avidity anticipated; still, from the
Liverpool advices being received, it is
claimed they are uneasy and may be
forced to buy at any moment, as they
are practically bare of stocks. Out
siders have not been actively attracted
to the article, and as a matter of
fact, never are until values always en-
nance considerably. We mention this,
because the probability is that when
spinners become frightened they will
be assisted in their purchases by the
speculative public, who will also take
hold at a higher level The weekly
movement into sight and visible sup
ply figures will be bearish tomorrow
and may have a tendency to cause a
temporary low level. Many believe
that such will be the case, and are ex-
pecting a reaction after such sharp

Thursday. Sept. IS.
While there were no very large ad-
.,nces the tendency of to-days cot
ton markets was upward, and many
turned bulls and bought on the theory
that the next few days will witness
material gains. Spot markets did not
show much change, but they were on
the whole firm, and the demand for
spot cotton satisfactory.
Persistent talk of a short cotton crop
is causing widespread bullishness, and
II now looks to the average observer
like the market is getting ready for a
sharp upward turn. Mr.. Price was
looked to to start the ball rolling to-
day, but spinners did not buy with
enough eagerness to warrant him, it
was said, in entering the market upon
any large scale. At New York the
closing was steady with prices to 8
points up. At New Orleans they
we're off 1 to 2 points.
