Pointers on the GROWING 000t crop.
During my recent trips through
the valley I noticed that quite mum
Der Of beet growers have to replant
their patches for the simple reason
that they have planted their seed en-
tirely too deep. The first two sea
sons during which the planting of
the beet seed has been somewhat
controlled by the A. B. s. Co., the
growers frequently complained that
the seed was planted too shallow,
and that the lack Of q perfect stand
was entirely due to the fact that the
seed was not deposited deep enough.
This year the planting was entirely
handled by them and many had made
up their minds to take advantage Of
this liberty and show the agricultur-
al representative that they under
stand better how to plant beets,
through being advised to the con-
trary. As the drills in their original
construction will not deposit the
seed deeper than about two inches,
various devices were gotten up in
order to get the seed out of sight, and
many have planted as deep as three
and half and four inches. Not be-
ing satisfied with seeding to such e1-
traordinary depth, the land was fre-
quently rolled afterwards, and solid
layer of dirt packed over the seed.
While quite a few Of the beets
managed to come to the surface, yet
they were so weak after having pene-
trated this heavy layer of soil, that
more than three -fourths of them died
within few days thereafter. The
others never reached the surface, as
they had not strength enough to
push through the ground. If they
had been assisted by timely cultiva-
tion with the spider moderate stand
might have been secured, but as is
usually the case, the growers waited
for the coming up of the seed with
out investigating the cause of the
delay and thus did not notice the
condition until it was to late. It
seems strange that after two years.
teaching and advice the old growers
should still cling to the idea that the
agriculturists could not teach them
any thing in the beet culture, and
that the principles of farming this
crop ms set forth in our instructions,
would not hold good for this valley,
but that their methods are far super
ior to those practiced in countries
where beet culture is over sixty years
old.
Besides the danger of the young
plants loosing the strength necessary
to continue to grow after they are
above ground, deep planting will,
also, give the weeds which are at
shallow depth, an opportunity to get
far ahead of the beet, and in many
cases the beet fields are green with
weeds while no beets are visible.
The cultivation under such circum-
stances is exceedingly difficult, as in
many instances the rows cannot be
followed, and it is entirely wrong to

stocks for sale. impaired frmer tone
TO the market as the day progressed
The most important dealings in the
railway list were in Missouri Pacific,
st. Paul, and Manhattan Railway.
High Prices Scored.
The first and last named were cx-
ceptionally strong Missouri Pacific sold
at the highest price recorded in the
present movement, and Texas Pacific, st.
Louis Southwestern issues, and Wa
bash common were exceptionally firm.
The rains that have been detrimental
in other sections of the country have
been welcome and beneficial in the ter
ritory traversed by the so-called South
western trunk lines. There was a fur
ther sharp advance in Chicago and
Eastern Illinois issues. particularly in
the common; in Chicago and Northwest
ern and in Rock Island, the market for
which was stimulated by the announce
ment of new stock rights.
Buying of Sugar Refining.
In the industrial list the heaviest
trading was in Sugar Refining. which
retained one-half of its maximum ad-
vance. The buying of this stock is said
TO be based upon prospects of an un-
usually active demand for the COM
pany's product during the current fruit
season. The United States Steel stocks
were in better demand in anticipation
of the declaration of the quarterly
dividends and the publication of the
statement of the last half year, which
were announced after the close of busi-
ness.

and especially for the last quarter. GER
tainly justifes the most sanguine an
ticipations of those who organized the

There was little selling of American
Smelling because Of the action Of the
attorney general OF Colorado in bringing
in suit against the company on anti

in the company do not attach any i'm
portance to this litigation, as the suit
