IMMENSE BEET CROP.
Grand Ronde Valley Finishing $4,000
Ton Harvest.

1
The most remarkable beet crop in
the history of the sugar beet industry
In Union county, will be harvested
In less than two weeks when $4,000
tons Of beets will have been harvest
and hauled to the factory, says the
La Grande Observer.
1t is hardly possible that the ele-
ments can interfere with a clean har-
vest. But with the present weather
the Union crop will be completed this
week and the larger crop adjacent to
La Grande harvested before two
weeks have gone by.
Last year many beets were never
pulled, and many dollars worth rot
ted in the ground, but this year,
thanks to favorable weather, every
beet will be pulled and eventually
transformed into sugar, even though
rain and snow should fall during the
closing hours Of the harvest.
Not alone Is the crop the largest,
due to a complete harvest, but the
grade Of the product run higher than
usual. The per cent of sugar varies
from IA to IS per cent, a remarkably
high average.
A profitable business truly, when
one years crop Of sugar beets brings
$4,000 into the growers Golfers. To
the grower each ton represents $3.50.
The Amalgamated Sugar company
is elated, the grower is elated, and
the county is elated and justly, too,
for it represents to what profit sugar
beets can be raised in the Grand
Ronde valley.
But the harvest is a gigantic task.
To harvest the crops cultivated by
the company alone, It requires, ac-
cording to Field Manager Sebbelov,
10 head of horses. over 800 employees,
including the Japs, to harvest the
crop on the Hall ranch at Union and
the crops about La Grande This
large crew and outfit will be kept
steadily at work and the finish will
not be called until every beet has
been transported to the factory.

The means of ascertaining the genu-

initiated with marvellous skill, is es-
pecially important to the layman, even
though the jeweler may quickly detect
them. limitations are usually lighter
than real pearls and generally are brit

fish scales and do not break so easily,
while the holes, which in the real pearl
are drilled very small and have a sharp
edge, are In the false larger and have a
blunt edge AS a rule, the imitation
pearls are like hollow spheres of glass
colored internally with a coating imi-
tating the orient of natural pearl.
The manufacture of these articles
embraces two series of operations-the
production Of the sphere and the intro
ductiOn of coating. The spheres are
produced by the glassblower, who by
aid Of an enameler's lamp soldiers the
extremity of a tube when the sub
stance is of the right consistency. In
this way are obtained very regular lit

An Anecdote of Shelley.

The poet Shelley tells an amusing
story of the influence that language

the vulgar mind. Walking near COvent
Garden, London. he accidentally jos
tied against an Irish navy, who, being
IN Il QuarrelsOme mood, seemed in
clined to attack the poet A crowd of
ragged sympathizers began to gather,
when Shelley, calmly facing them, de-
hberately pronounced:

began to question him. What bar

WEIGHT OF PLANETS.
lt-ls the Mass of the Body That Counts
With the Astronomer.

tt-ls the Mass of the Body That Counts
- With the Astronomer.
If ham weighing thirty pounds
were taken up to the moon and weigh
ed there, the ''pulP'-the attractive
force of the moon upon the ham
would amount to only five pounds.
There would be another weight Of the
ham for the planet Mars and yet an
other on the sun. A ham weighing
thirty pounds at New York ought to
weigh some 500 pounds on the suns
surface; hence the astronomer does not
speak of the weight of a planet. be-
cause that would depend upon the
place where it was weighed. But he
speaks of the mass of the planet,
which means how much planet there is,
no matter where it might be weighed
At the same time we might, without
any inexactness, agree that the weight
OF heavenly body should be fixed by
the weight 1t would have in New
York AS we could not imagine a
planet in New York, because 1t may
be larger than the earth itself, what
we are to imagine is this: Suppose the
planet could be divided into a million
million million equal parts and one of
these parts brought to New York and
weighed. We could easily find its
weight In pounds or tons. Then mul-
tiply this by a million million million.
and we shall have weight of the plan
ct. This would be equivalent to what
astronomers might take as the mass of
the planet.-Current Literature.
