Some Cautions in Irrieatins Beets.
James xhiIIey.

My plan for irrigating sugar beets is
as follows: / first make the land as
level as possible, then plant the beets,
taking care to plant the seed in the d.
rection the water will run best. l al
WAYS have the laterals in condition be-
fore it is time to use the water and do
not irrigate the beets until they require
it if the ground is moist and the seed
terminates all right. ! cultivate often
to hold the moisture as long as possible
and thus keep the crop growing in good
healthy condition.
This encourages the beet roots to go
down into the soil seeking for moisture
which makes very much longer beet
and usually great deal better tonnage
if not watered too early. Besides, it
gives the people who are doing the
thinning a better chance to do the work.
Any experienced farmer will know
when his crop is suffering for water.
Then is the time to put it on. Do not
be afraid of destroying few beets by
making laterals. In most land would
say have the laterals not more than 10
rods apart. Get the water over the
ground just as quickly as possible. AS
soon as the ground is dry enough, fol-
low with the cultivator. In this way it
will not be necessary to water so often.
Be careful to get the water on again
before the plants begin to suffer, for
otherwise the crop will be injured more
than helped. have seen fields irri-
gated and other fields right beside it
not irrigated giving better results. not
because irrigation is not beneficial but
because it was improperly applied. In
the first place, the farmer hoped he
would get rain enough without irriga-
ton and did not have his laterals ready
until the crop was suffering. By the
time he got the laterals made his beets
had entirely stopped growing and be-
gan to wilt. He finally got the water
to them and after this it took the crop
about a week to start growth again.
Just then the plants ought to have had
water again, but he waited until they
were in the same condition as before,
when he watered them again. The re-
suit was he received no benefit from
irrigation at all, when if he had watered
once in between and once after he
would probably doubled his tonnage.
The final result was nine-ton crop,
when it should have been eighteen or
twenty tons. The sequel to this is, do
not irrigate sugar bcets until they need
it, but once the water is put on keep
it up. fr
The number of times to irrigate will
be governed first by the amount of
rainfall and second by the manner of
cultivation. Do not be afraid of break
ing few leaves by cultivation. Put
on one shovel to a row, keeping it in
the middle to avoid injuring the roots
when there is not much danger of hurt
ing the crop by breaking few leaves.
have pulled the bottom leaves
entirely off by hand from two acres of
bects in order to test the effect and
found that it did not injure them
either tonnage or sugar. We have
found by experience here in Colorado

When a public officer so iai
forgets himself as to Lee his
british propensities get away
with him RICH, before the public,
II is time to call a halt. We arc
not in the habit of criticislng the
failures on foibles Of our fellow
citizens, for the very good reason
that we all have our faults. They
continually beset MS on every
hand, so that when we would do
good evil is always present with
Ius.m
But a public officer, like a pub.
lie preacher. should be an exam
pie to the citizen in the observ.
ance of the law. He should not
be a habitue of gambling bells;
he should not be a frequenter of
saloons for convivial purposes;
nor should he associate with har-
lots or women who have hus-
bands with whom they ought to
live but don't. These are the
three furies that run a mad
dance with their patrons to the
sure precincts Of he'll.
The public officer that courts
either one Of them is certain to
form an alliance that is sure
death to him politically, and
brings the blush of shame to the
cheeks of those who exalted an
unworthy subject to official posi-.
ton.
The misfortnnes of the Demo
cratic party seem to have no end.
