The Standards pipe line to Whiting
from its Sugar Creek refinery, recently
established on the outskirts of Kansas
City, will be completed next Friday,
according to officials who have Just
visited the local plant. The Whiting
line, the construction of which, was be.
gun last September, is to supply an
outlet for 100000 barrels Of oil stored
by the company at Humboldt, Caney,
Ramona and Neodesha, Kansas. At
Whiting the pipe line will connect with
the company's lines to Bayonne, New

Numherlna the Hairs.

The number OF individual hairs
that cover the human scalp is greatly
n matter of speculation; but it is sup
posed to vary according to the thick
ness and color of the hair. a we'll
known authority estimates that red
haired people possess the fewest, and
places the average number at thirty
thousand. Black-haired persons, on
the other hand, are said to run into
one hundred thousand; while the fair
haired have the largest number of all
namely. one hundred and fifty-thou.
sand. These figures should form 4
valuable index TO those people whose
hair Is on the down grade. An ex-
cessive falling OF could be reckoned
at from 100 upwards, and by counting
the number OF hairs they lose each
day some idea might be formed as to
low long they are likely to be before
they are overtaken with total bald
ness. Hairs which fall out. however.
are not always a total loss" They
often grow again from the root

the FARM AND RANGE
Beet Sugar in Colorado.

One of the most surprising develop
ments OF recent years In this state 10
| the growth of the sugar beet ana pee'
sugar industries. Until 1888 the cu.
| ture of this variety OF beets was Al
most unknown in Colorado. In that
wear the first factories were built. one
in Grand junction and one In ROCKY
Ford. Last wear there were nine iac-
tories in operation. and two more VIII
he ready for this years crop. In addl-
dition to these IL is probable that Two
or three additional factories VIII be
built to handle the 1906 crop.
The nine factories now in operation
are located at Fort Collins, Greeley,
Ioyeland, Longmont, Windsor. Eaton.
Rocky Ford, Sugar City and Grand
Junction, and the two new ones are at
Sterling and Lamar. Last year these
nine establishments handled b0O,OuO
tons OF beets for which the farmers re
ceIyed S5 n ton or a total OF S3,25O,OUU.
The product in refined sugar was
worth about s5.O00.00O and in addition
TO this was a considerable value in
pulp and molasses. To these must De
added another by.product which IN
time will become more valuable than
either OF the others. The factories are
now shipping to alcohol distilleries IN
Wisconsin and Michigan kind OF
waste molasses. squeezed from the
pulp. from which high.grade OF alco-
hol Is made.
Colorado now ranks second among
the states in the number of its beet
sugar factories. being surpassed only
by Michigan. The nine factories now
in operation here represent an invest
ment OF S7.OOO,0O0. All this is deyel-
opment OF six years, and as the condi-
tlons here fayoring the growth OF the
industry are unsurpassed, 1t is easy 10
see that the figures quoted may be
easily doubled in the next FIVE years.
The soil and climate OF Colorado, es-
peCially in the northern part OF the
state. and in the Arkansas valley, are
peculiarly adapted 10 beet culture. and
the beets raised have a higher percent
age OF saccharine matter than those
produced in any other state. The aver
age yield per acre is very great. so the
crop is highly profitable TO the farm
ers.
An industry which adds so much to
the value Of our agricultural and mas
uracturing products must be ranked
among the most important In the state.
\ crop which six years after its first
cultivation pays the farmers three and
n quarter millions OF dollars in one sea
son is not to be lightly regarded, and
the time may come when the sugar
beet will be the most valuable agri-
cultural resource OF the state.-Colo-
raLo Springs Gazette.

Most spray pumps are provided with
a mechanical agitator which keeps the
liquid in the tank in motion. These
are either a dasher or a whirling pad
die. Barrel pumps are usually pro-
vidrd with the former. while most
tanks are fitted with the latter Some
pumps are provided with return hose
which forces part of the liquid back
into the tanks. thus setting up a cur
rent but this has not proven alto
gether satisfactory. Some orchardists
prefer to stir the mixture by hand
with a paddle. 1t is important to keep
the liquid well stirred and the device
that will accomplish this with the
least expenditure of time and energy
is the most desirable. Orchardists in
Colorado are said to generally prefer
the dasher type.
Reports have been coming in to
Mrs. Shute, secretary of the Colorado
State Horticultural Board. regarding
the condition and prospects for fruit
crop over the state, as indicated since
the trees and bushes fiowered From
Boulder it is reported, that there will
be crop in all fruits equal to last
year. excepting peaches, which have
been killed. At Holly. the peaches
were winter killed. but the rest of the
crops are safe. The best report comeg
from Montezuma county. where there
will be full crop of peaches and sew
enty-five to one hundred per cent of
other GRIPS. From Rifle, 1t is reported
that peaches and pears are all killed
and there will be but half crop of
other fruits.-Denver Republican.
Cooperative spraying is practical
and desirable for communities having
small fruit farms and close together
as they are in Fremont county and
other Colorado districts. The use OF
power spraying outfits has proven prof.
table on the large fruit farms and by
neighborhood organization the benefits
may be carried to the smaller plant
ings. The strongest objection to such
cooperation in the spraying OF or
chards comes from the difficulty of
getting around to all orchards in the
few days when the work will be most
effective. This may be remedied to
some extent by combining in the or
ganization orchards on high and low
lands In the same neighborhood. The
/ mesa trees are usually ready for
spraying several days ahead OF thoee
on The bottoms.--Field and Farm.

Bookbinding at the Public Library.

To the Editor of The Star:
/ am surprised to see Mr.. Geo. F. Bower
man, the distinguished librarian of the Pub
lie Library, display such ignorance regard
ing the eight-hour law in the District of
Columbia IN his interview in last night s
Star.
1t is only necessary to call Mr.. Bower
mans attention to section 800 of the Dis
trict Code of Laws, which reads as follows
THE service and employment of all labor
ers and mechanics who are now or may
hereafter be employed by the government
of the United States, by the District of Co
lumbia or by any contractor or sub-con-
tractor upon any of the public work of the

calendar day. and 1t shall be unlawful for

or the District of Columbia, or any such con-
tractor or sub-contractor whose. duty it
shall be to employ direct or control the
service of such laborers or mechanics to
require or permit any such laborers or me-
chanics to work more than eight hours In
any one calendar day, except in case OF
extraordinary emergency"
Section S93 of the District Code of Laws
provides a penalty of $1,000 fine or six
months Imprisonment, or both, for viola
Now il is not the desire of the Central
Labor Union or the Bookbinders' Union to
cause Mr.. Bowerman any needless trouble,
but l would advise him to consult the law
officers of the District government or some
Of his legal friends before criminal pro-
ceedings are commenced by the Central La
Dor Union. Mr.. Bowerman's admission In
last nights Star that the work Is done by
contract in. the library building would be
sufficient to convict him In case 1t should
be necessary to resort to criminal proceed
ings.
The men employed at bookbinding In the
library are employed solely on library work,
