FIRE AT FORT LEAvENwoRTH'
Li,eIy Blaze Damaged Engineer Corps
ilH5 Barracks. r1I- a..

LEAvENWORTH.- Especially Fire
broke out in the barracks OF Company
IA, corps of engineers, at Fort Leaven'
worth, shortly after II o'clock Wednes-
day morning, and for an hour the prln-
cipal part Of the post was threatened
with destruction.
i The blaze licked the west side oil
the headquarters building. Paymaster
Graham was engaged in paying the SOL
diers, and in order to prevent the burn
ing of his immense pile Of money, ne
had 1t placed in a safe and moved out
onto the lawn. 1t looked for a time as
though the headquarters would go, but
the soldiers prevented the fire from
spreading beyond the engineers quar-
tiers. The upper portion Of the east
end of this building was completely
burned away, the damage being estl-
mated at $1,5OO. While fighting the
fire, Private Niles Peterson, OF the
ouartermaster's department, was over
come by the heat and smoke and came
near falling from the building. He was
unconscious for nearly an hour An
other soldier was struck on the head
by piece Of flying timber and slightly
injured.

KANSAS WHEAT NEVER BETTER.
Roseate Reports From the Agr'cultur'
al Districts.

al Districts.
TOPEKA Especially The people
who have been dropping into Topeka
from the agricultural districts Of the
state for the last few days. have been
universally enthusiastic over the crop
outlook for the state. The Third dis.
trict men who come from down In the
wueat belt have been giving especially
roseate reports In regard to the con-
dition of that cereal. The answers to
the inquiries sent out by the State
Grain Dealers Association about a
month ago showed that the wheat crop
was in about as good condition at that
time as 1t had ever been reported.
Since then there has been enough
moisture, at the proper intervals, to
keep the ground in an almost perfect
condition. The wheat is not quite as
high as it has sometimes been at this
time of the year, but It is thick and
sturdy, and possibly in even better con-
dition on that account to resist unfav-
orable conditions which might arise
later.
The oats crops seemed to be little
bit slow in getting started this year,
but is making fine growth now. Its
condition is not quite as satisfactory
as that of the wheat, but there is every
reason to believe that there will be a
large crop. The fact that Kansas oats
were so much in demand last year, on
account of crop failures elsewhere, has
led to the planting of a rather larger
crop than usual,

ROUND HOUSE BURNED,
Rock Island Railway Loses $4,000 at
Harrington, Kan.


HERINGTON. Especially At 4
O'Clock Monday evening the storage
room of the Rock Island round house
caught fire and in an hours time
both building and contents were de-
stroyed. 1t seems that lamp was
knocked over into a pile Of combusti-
bles. The fire began inside up stairs.
Only a few Of the available men could
be used and these were deferred by the
heat and the seclusion of the flames
The office, which is next to the ware
room, Is completely flooded with
water, but almost everything in this
room was saved, Master Mechanic D.
D. Robertson estimates the total loss
about $4,000, He says there were
nearly $4,000 worth of storage, and
as near as he can tell, the damage to
the building Is about $1,000,

Points on Sugar Beet Growing.

''N~ ~ "2-'' = 'N
The growers Of sugar beets in Neb'
raska declare that the sugar beet Is a
great drouth resister. This Is Ger
tainly one point in favor Of the sugar
beet, whether for sugar making or for
stock feeding. Whether the sugar
beet can be best produced on light or
heavy soil is a question yet in dis
pute. In some experiments the larg'
est yields were on the heavy soils,
but the largest average yields were
on the light soils. On the whole, the
results were more favorable to the
heavy soils. The use OF commercial
fertilizers has resulted in increasing
the sugar contents Of beets, but fre-
quently not enough to pay the cost OF
the fertilizers used. The phosphates
made the best showing as to returns.
In the cultivation Of sugar beets, 1t
Is desirable to provide a dust mulch,
and the depth Of cultivation will be
generally regulated by the depth re-
quired to keep up a dust mulch, which
differs In different soils. In some
cases 1t cannot be maintained by any
thing less than a three or four-inch
deep cultivation. The distance apart
Of the rows will have much to do
with the size Of the beets and some.
thing to do with sugar contents
About eighteen inches seems to be
the ideal distance apart for the rows,
and the beets In the rows should not
be separated by more than eight
inches. Too much room means too
big beets with too little proportion
Of sugar.
1t Is rather surprising to learn that
the weeds that are sometimes allowed
to grow in the sugar beet field have
the power Of stealing the sugar from
the sugar beets or Of at least keep.
Ing the beets from getting all the
sugar they would otherwise acquire.
A test to prove this was made at the
Nebraska station, On four plats Of
beets some were left weedy and some
were kept clean. Beets from the four
weedy plats were analysed and gave
respectively 1928, 1870, 9.S, 9.2, per
cent Of sugar content. From the clean
plats the beets analysed 1872, 1875, ITO,
10.7, In all cases the difference was
in favor Of the plat that was kept
clean. It is true that this was but
one experiment and a great law
should not be laid down on a single
experiment, but 1t must be consld-
cred as having some weight.
1t Is not desired to have beets very
large, nor is 1t desirable to start a
growth In the fall after the beet Is
properly mature, A season Of wet
weather in the fall is very likely to
start a new growth Of the beet, which
increases in size without increasing
the amount Of sugar contained. II
the buds form and expand on the
crown Of the beet there Is an actual
loss Of sugar. ~

High Protein and High Starch Corn.
From the Farmers Review: Now
that the farmers Of Illinois are turn
ing their attention to growing high
protein corn for the purpose Of get
ting a better balanced ration for
stock feeding, 1t will be well to con.
slider some Of the probable results.
To grow q large crop Of high protein
corn will require soil rich In nitro.
gen. The trouble with most Illinois
farms, where proper rotation of
corn and clover or other leguminous
plants have not been followed, is that
these lands are already deficient In
nitrogen, and to attempt to grow a
high protein corn upon them in their
present condition, will likely result
In disappointing Yields 1t seems prob.
able that the yield from such lands
will decrease as the protein content
Of the corn is increased. 1t Is now
an established fact that the corn plant
cannot obtain nitrogen from the air,
but Is dependent entirely upon that
which Is available In the soil. There
Is, therefore, but one course for the
grower Of high protein corn to follow,
and that Is to increase the nitrogen
in the soil by growing more clover,
cow peas, soy beans and other
legumes, all Of which have the power
Of obtaining nitrogen from the air
through the agency Of bacteria in
their root tubercles. While it Is es-
sential that these leguminous crops
should be grown by every corn grow.
or. wish to emphasize the point
that the grower of high protein corn
will exhaust available nitrogen in the
soil more rapidly than the grower Of
high starch corn and must, therefore,
have soil rich in that element to OBJ
tain the best results.
AS feeders we want the high pro-.
tein corn for our live stock, but 1t
seems probable that a high starch
corn would be less exhaustlng upon
the soil and give a larger yield on
light and thin soils. We do not know
this to be true. But since all plants
get their carbon from the air 1t
would seem that the variety Of corn
containing the most carbonaceous
matter and least protein would pro.
duce the largest yield In bushels on
thin soils. This Is point Of much
interest to the grain seller who cares
more for yield than for feeding value.
We would like to hear from Prof.
Hopkins on this polnt.--Clayton 9.
