The new fruit is said to closely resemble
the seedless orange, in that the meat is

The trees are grown from bulbs and SO
far Spencer has over 200 bearing fruit.
He has kept his experiments a secret un-
til their success was assured and has
just sent some specimens to the Smith

advantage of the seedIess apple lies in
the fact that many diseases which are
caused by moths laying eggs in the
blooms will be avoided. If the seed

BEETS IN ARKANSAS VALLEY
An Ordway Man Thinks This Crop
Best the F armer Can Raise.

In response to aIuestion propounded
as to the value of sugar beets as
crop, ID. O. Roberts, an intelligent
farmer of Ordway. in the Arkansas
valley, writes as follows to the Sugar
City Gazette:
Unquestionably the sugar beet is
the most profiatble crop for our lands
here about Ordway. Not that it
would be advisable to put all of ones
land in beets the same year. but
farmer who owns less than 80 acres can
put. say one third in beets each year.
following the second or third crop
with oats or alfalfa. His oat crop
win then yield about double the
ordinary crop and can be seeded with
disc harrow without any plowing
If he irrigates after beets are harvest
ed.
This year of 1908 has been as un-
favorable for beets as any IN our re-
membrance. Probably all of US will
agree here, yet my crop Of eight acres
planted on alfalfa ground, and with
out any previous fertilizing, netted
me over $40 per acre for use OF the
ground.
OF course we will all agree that it
was small potatoes" for Colorado.
but where can we get any better re.
suits with oats or any other grain
crop? Last year land adjacent to
this yielded me hundred and twenty
dollars per acre gross, from beets.
have heard some farmers say, "I'll
go back to alfalfa - Suppose the
farmers of the Arkansas valley should
all say so, how about the price of
alfalfa then? Old timers at Ordway
sold hay for 81 so per ton. And then
please count mp expenses on the alfal
ia crop-irrigating. work ON latersls.
lateral asse ssmepts, cost of putting in
stack. say 81 % per ton. and see how
many of us can exceed ten dollars per
acre net.
We raised oats and wheat under this
canal for about ten years. not even
alternating with alfalfa, and some are
trying to raise beets ON the same
grounds. This is why so many
failures occur. And then when we
learn exactly how to cultivate we
shall do better.
We have many kinds of soil here
sandy loan and all kinds of adobe
each kind requiring different treat.
meDt. The sandy loan we can plow
in the spring and seed Immediately.
The adobe can only be plowed when
dry. and must be waterec before
planting, and if possible should be
plowed in the fall and irrigated soon
after. All this we learn by exper-
fence and I firmly believe that when
we all do our best we will find the
sugar beets our greatest friend, not
| only in its annual results hut in
doubling the value Of our lands.

law, Mrs. E, A. Thompson, early

raised in Oxford, and lived here
until 1873. Mrs. Thompson
Joined the Methodist church in
her early girlhood. She had
many trials and troubles which
she bore with true christian pa
tience and meekness. Although
she leaves no near relations, her
many excellent qualities had en-
deared her to relatives by mar
rage, and friends who sincerely
mourn her loss. The remains
were carried to Savannah, Ten
nessee,. Tuesday evening to be
inferred beside her husband. A
short funeral service was con-
Quoted by Rev. E. D. Brown be-
fore the body was taken to the
