After having raised sugar beets in
rows % inches apart for the past two
years, would not go back to narrower
rows. With the rows 90 inches apart,
one can do mu CHI more satisfactory job
at cultivatlng than when they are closer
together and, the better work done in
cultivating simply lessons the hand
labor necessary. Then, of course, there
are great many less rows to thin where
they are. % inehas, anart. and Iass .raws- tn

hand labor is certainly materially les
sened by putting the rows 90 inches
apart. AS to whether Mr. Simmons can
use two.row cultivator do not know
because we have never tried one. We
have used two-horse cultivator, how
ever, where you simply straddle one
row and it does perfect work 1t wants
a cultivator that can be set up little
narrower than for cultivating corn but
there are plenty of these on the market
now and they do almost perfect work.
One can even cultivate the beets with a
two horse cultivator before they are
thinned, the shields protecting the beets
from being covered with dirt l think
after the beets were thinnedo and grown
up to pretty fair size, that the two
row cultivator could be safely used.
The land, however, would have to be
fairly level in order to have it do good
work.
1t is my opinion that $40 per acre for
thinning, hoeing and topping is more
than it is necessary to pay out for this

full work being done by our college
is found in the words OF an AlDu,
oueroue citizen to me the other day.
.'Your college, said he, 'turns out men
who do things.
"And that in fact is the record OF
our college for many years past. our
work. YOU know is intensely practical,
Fully nalf the time OF a student IN
our college is taken up by actually
doing with his hands what, in theory
we teach in the class room. In TINS
way we bring the training of both
mind and hands into proper relation
and give the student an Inspiration IN
his work that he could not get from
class room work alone.
What Some Students Have Done.
Not long since we published a
booklet containing list OF over one
hundred young men and young women
who have achieved success in their
positions and whom we have trained
in the past few years. These men and
women took their start in life from
the training received in our college
and its practical character has been
the KEY to their success. They are
now. many of them in business fol
themselves, of which fact you have
examples here in your own town, in
men such as Oscar Watson, and Car
Bishop, men we are proud to have
trained and helped and who are o
credit 10 us. Others are bank cash
iers, teachers, civil and mechanical en-
gineors, sUperintendents, and editors
In the line of stenography alone, we
have sent out over one hundred young
men and women who have won an en-
viable reputation for success, and ir

women we can send cut.

All Of the old employees of tire
louisville and Nashville Railroad
who went on strike about four
weeks ago, have returned to work,
and yesterday there were hardly any
OF the old men missing from the
gangs loading and unloading ships.
The workmen struck for raise
from $3.50 to $500 per day. which was
refused by the company. and although
the latter lost heavily, 1T held out by
importing labor and boarding the men
and giving them Sits per day. The
work Of the new men was not very
satisfactory, due to the fact that they
had never performed that class Of
labor and consequently not very
much was accomplished, but enough
was done to get the vessels away
from port, and to unload those arriv.
ing, although some delay was occa
s5oned.
The strikers finally decided that the
company was determined not to &C
coed to their demands, so when told
that they could all return at $1.75 pc;
day did so, and are now loading the
vessels. Some Of the new men are
still at work, but whenever one oil
these makes application for a return
pass home 1t Is given to him.
