just completed long silo bed in
which the beets were covered in the
manner usually employed by growers.
Other conical shaped silos were al
ready done. The first of these cones
or mounds Is wet silo. the. soil hav-
ing been thoroughly soaked. on the
theory that dry. dusty soil absorbs
the moisture from the bcets. causing
greater shrinkage. By wetting thc
soil the bcets will better retain their
moisture and the consequent weight.
That, at least. is the theory. which
will be proved or disprovcd by the
experiments. Alongside the wet silo
is dry one, for use in comparing
results. Another phase of the eNperi-
ments is in the size OF the silo. One.
for example. contains Ia tons OF
bcets. while in another there are 4
tons. Comparisons between these
piles will show the relative value OF
large and small silos. In the center
of each os the conical slices is placed
a shcct-iron pipe through which the
temperature OF the silo may be taken
ut any desired depth. In this way
the progress OF the experiment can
be observed at various stages. The
bcets will remain in silo about ~
months. or until the factory calls for
the sliced bccis from the growers
and the results Of the experiments
will then be announced. Growers.
therefore. will have for next season
not only their own eSpcricncc-thc

BLEY'S OUTFIT
IS ATTACHED
INNOCENT PARTIES DRAGGED
INTO MATTER THROUGH
MISUNDERSTANDING.

An attachment was levied on the
effects of M. A. Bley yesterday morn
ing while the effects were on the way
to Belle Helen. The goods had been
loaded on the wagon of Mr.. and Mrs
Myers of Belle Helen, and the couple
were intercepted after they had
passed the Florence avenue garage.
They could not understand why the
hand of the law should be laid of
their effects, and were loath to re-
turn to the city.
Mrs. Myers, in particular, was very
indignant, but her husband was
shown the force of laws argument.
1t was unfortunate that they were
hampered with the goods of Bley, but
since it was so, they were compelled
to share his burdens. Had Bley been
in the neighborhood at the time, per-
haps he would have been forced to
share some of the indignation that
was vented. Perhaps not.
The wagon was compelled to re-
turn to Tonopah and unload the
goods of Bley. The rest of the goods
will leave for Belle Helen this morn
