work to breed up select strain OF
beet seed as it is to breed up to a
given standard in coach horses or
other pedigreed stock, and it takes
almost as long to do it. AS all beet
growers know, beet is different In
its habits from radish, for in
stance, in making seed. From a
radish seed planted in the spring
NAV be taken ripe seed the same
wear: while from beet seed planted
the same way no blossoms or seeds
may be had until the next year. in
the meantime the grown beet must
be dug and carried over winter In
cellars or pits and set back into the
field the next spring, like cabbage
or turnip, in order to have it bloom
and throw up seed stalks.
Manager G. A. Granger of the
Greeley sugar factory, who spent
several months in Germany this sum
mer, talked entertainingly the other
day of the industry OF growing sugar
beets for seed only. About ninety
per cent of all the worlds supply OF
sugar beet seed is grown in Germany
on farms given over solely to that
industry. Many of these farms con-
tain thousands of acres. The seeo
beets are given every possible care
in fertilization Of the held, planting
and cultivation. From the growing
heets experts select specimens con-
forming to certain standards In con-
tour. size and shape of leaf ana poo',
and these are tested, each peeI
senarately, for sugar content, poiar'
izinp, they call it, and the exact re,
su,t, of each test is written on lapel
which is attached to that particular
beet, Those that pass satisfactory
examinations are sorted careiuiS'
each type and each family separate

called the Elite beets ana are

means can be found to improve the
summer range the benetit will be felt
from Canada to Arizona and New
Mexico, so that the experiments are
Of broad Importance.
In the higher parts of the Imnaha
national forest good late summer
pasture for sheep is valuable. Snow
covers the ground nine months OF
the year and the grass that grows
must grow quickly. The natural
pasture on these high mountain
meadows is fairly good, but there is
room for improvement. The native
blue grass does not produce sod,
but grows In punches. A sod or
turf is wanted and some of the
meadows will be seeded with we'll
known species to test whether they
will grow and bring the desired re-
suit. Timothy, redtop, blue grass
and clover called Alsike. originally
brought from Sweden, will be tried.
Eight or more patches of from three
to twenty acres each will be seeded.
1t is wild and rugged mountain
region with few trails and those very
difficult. Harrows or other agricul-
tural machinery could not be taken
in, except ON the backs of pack
animals. Plainly, any method OF
seeding which could have any prac-
tical value must find other instru-
ments than the tools upon which the
farmer ordinarily relies. The sharp
cutting hoofs of sheep will be the
only harrow used. The meadows
selected for sowing will first be
grazed as short as sheep can crop
the native grass. Since the ground
is wet, 1t will be much cut up by the
sheep. Glover, timothy, redtop or
blue grass seed will then be sown
broadcast, and the sheep will be
driven to aud fro across 1t until the
seed Is beaten well into the soil.
This will be done late In the season,
|fO that the sAed will lie. dormant
until next summers sun melts the
snow and warns the ground.
Whether 1t will grow and mature
crop in three months remains to be
seen. If it will, one problem of
mountain pasturage will have been
solved, for much larger quantity of
forage will be furnished by these
paints than the native growths sup
ply.
If this grass sowing on the high
Oregon mountains Is successful it
will open the way for similar range
development elsewhere. There is
hardly limit to the possibilities
presented.

simonson Preliminary.

The preliminary hearing for
Charles Simonson for shooting Editor
C. r. Lewis of the Kerse7 Enter
prise couple of weeks ago was set
for last Saturday. The defense took
a change Of venue from Justics
Stevens court to that of Justice
PRESLEY whereupon the prosecution
dismissed the case.
Simonson was kept in custody by
the sheriff while another warrant was
issued.
The preliminary hearing was held
before Justice Hill of Kersey Satur-
day afternoon. Nothing new was
brought out at the hearing. There
is considerable sympathy for Simon
son at Kersey and before he was re-
turned to the county jail to await
trial at the November term of the
district court the boys presented
him with box of cigars. Simonson
was returned to Jail without bail.
