ter feed. further observed that al
falfa comes early In the spring pre-
ceding the first growth Of grass and
Il Is better TO Craze It until the early
rains as It will rlpen Just as quickly
and yield as much as II 1t had not
been grazed Generally the fourth
or last crop Is 80 late II Is caught
by the frost and the weather being
cool in the fall 1t is difficult to cure
the hay sufficient to put In stacks
and IL Is my opinion that more benz
eft could be derived from grazing
the last crop.
In harvesting alfalfa in this coun-
try the same rule applies as In other
countries with few exceptions, The
crop generally natures within about
six weeks, that of course depends
upon the weather and It is generally
conceded that it should be cut when
well In bloom, but there is stlll an
other sign even though the plant
may or may not be in bloom, and
that Is when the leaves at the base
Of the stem begin to turn yellow
The mower, II started in tho morn
Ing, should be followed by the rake
in the afternoon, and the stacker
should be running with a full force
the following morning Here in the
Panhandle there should be no fears
of putting the hay into the stack too
green, The stacks should be made
not over twenty feet wide and as
high as It Is possible for the stacker
to throw the hay and as long as
there is hay and ground upon which
to stack It.

clusion want to say to you: Quit
trying to raise cattle in the Panhan-

alfalfa, hogs and kafrir corn, buy
your cattle from the southern breed
ing grounds where cheaper lands re-
duce the cost OF production, ship
them home, then fatten your hogs
and cattle RICH here at home and
when You have done this, you will
find the great packers OF the United

sugar products, we presumed It do
manded a north cold climate, but
now since Colorado with a few thou
sand acres OF irrigated land, near
Greedy and Eaton, a few years ago
barren, but now worth $500 per acre,
to grow beets and potatoes now runs
Michigan a close second. And 1t Is
demonstrated by our government
that Texas, New Mexico, Arizona,
Colorado, Idaho and Washington
are adapted to their growth. After
many years Of scientific investlga-
ton by the government a recent bull
letin says, when there Is little sub
terranean moisture, and when irrl-
cation Is not practical, the endeavor
should be to secure localities for the
growth of sugar beets when an ay-
eraga summer precipitation OF two
to four inches per month can be ex-
pected"
There are many conditions Of ag-
riculture under which the beet be-
comes quite independent OF extremes
OF precipitation. The beet may
thrive with very little rainfall, or
with a great deal II properly culu-
waited in a suitable soil" 1t also
states, "of all the home markets Of
domestic agricultural products, there
is none so insistent or so expansive
as that OF sugar With an annual
consumption OF 100000 tons, and
with certainty of rapid increase Of
the demand for sugar promises to be
the salvation of the American agrl-
culture"
In the short space OF time allotted
me cannot enlarge on the fact that
of the ten million acres of level ag-
rlcultural land that lies in the Pan
handle of Texas, that we might take
one million acres and produce 500
worth OF sugar per acre, all OF which
the home consumption OF this coun-
try demands, and thus save the ex-
portation of $2OO,OOO.OOO for our
imported sugar, and store it in the
treasury of the Panhandle of Texas.
or course, cannot speak Of the
cities that would spring up like mag
ic under the influence of manufac-
ture Of these raw materials. The
increase OF population to produce
the beets are the stimulated influ-
ence on our lands.

Blessing and Thomas who Broke
Jail Here are Being Held
In New Mexico

@. G. Blessing and c. G. Thomas.
two OF the men who broke Jail here
on Christmas day, are now in Jail
at Tucumcar, n, NJ, and by We'd
nesday this week they will be back
In their old quarters in the county
jail here whore It is a pretty safe
guess they will stay TN their trial
comes mp in May, kilograms from
Sheriff j. A. street Of Quay County.
New Mexico, was received this
morning telling that the two men
had been jailed at that place and
asking when the sheriff would start
for them. Constable j. w. Keeton
and Deputy Charles Hughes at once
made ready to go to Tucumcan and
left on the noon train for Dalhart
where they will take the Rock Is
lands down to New Mexico.
5000 10 BE Paid.
Sheriff Street does not give all the
particulars OF the capture OF the two
men so 1t is not certain how many
officers will be interested in the re-
ward. But the .sherifrs department
here is ready to pay out the 5000
reward either In a lump sum to one
officer who made .he arrests or d.
vided among several II the work took
the cooperation OF several officers.
This amount was offered by the
sheriffs department here Immediate
ly after the escape OF the men and
1t will be paid in cash as soon as the
details Of the capture are ascertained.
The capture at Tucumcan bears
out the information gathered by the
officers here. Both the men were
acquainted in that part OF New Mex
leo and one OF them at least has rel
atives who own claims near Tucum-
carl. Officers in that section had
been on the look out for them ever
since the escape.
Felts Still ut Large.
Il. w. Felts, the convicted trunk
thief who escaped on the same day,
Is still at large but the officers be-
lieve that he too will be captured
and brought back to serve out his
tipe. Felts had no connection with
the other two men and after breaking
out OF jail did not stay with Blessing
and Thomas. Fifty dollars reward Is
offered for his capture.

OF SUGAR BEET
j. N. Nicely ReVIWss Big Facts
Of the Industry and its
Development

In addition to giving the cold facts
about successful crops Of sugar beets
on his farm near Amarillo and of the
value of these crops even though on
account of the absence of factories,
they could not be used for manu-
facture into sugar, j, NJ. Nicely of
Amarillo, yesterday gave an inter
esting view of the sugar beet indus
try and it's possibilities as follows:
am requested by our Chairman,
TO give you my conclusions influ-
enced by my observation, informa-
ton and experience in growing and
proboble beet sugar development of
this country.
Somebody said a subject must be
large and enthusiasm much IL a
farmer speaking in public confines
himself to it; but as one government
expert has said, 1.-THE semi-arid dis
tricts of the west and southwest will
be the future home OF the beet
industry" | shall contend as long
as conine my remarks to the
United States and other countries,
the Panhandle OF Texas, or the peo-
Pile therein, shall be close to my
text.
No country consumes more sugar
per capita than the United States, the
average of all the countries Of
Europe is 23 pounds per capita while
the United States is Ga pounds each.
The United States consumes about
2 l-2 million tons OF sugar annually.
We produce less than one-flfth that
amount Owing to the fact that cain
sugar can only be produced in our
southern border, we can never supply
our demand from the cain products
of this country; but in my candid
opinion the development of the Am
erlcan Sugar Beet Industry in this
country, the next twenty years, or
less will tell you a story yet untold.
1t will stop the expectation OF over
5000, 100000 Of gold to pay for the
importation Of sugar.
We have many things to learn in
the development OF OUT infant indust-
ries. many pre- conceived ideas prove
more theoretical than practical and
will give way to the tread of the ex-
perience.
The sugar beet is adapted to
greater variety of soil and climate
than any other American product A
few years ago, because the inter
prising state of Michigan led In beet

Married in the Bank.

Rev. H. Jewell Howard, pastor of
the Christian church, left the ply
sician's banquet at which he was a
guest in the basement of the Car
son building last night, long enough
to unite in marriage Mr.. VIII G..
Meyers to Miss Myrtle Smith. The
young people had endeavored to
reach the pastor at his home and
failing there went down town. Here
through the assistance of a friend
the bridal party was admitted to the
Western Bank & Trust Co., and then
the minister pronounced the cere-
mony that made them man and wife.
The groom Is the son OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Lewis Meyers of this city and
numbers many friends here. He and
his bride intend to make their home
here and are today receiving many

DIED WITHOUT MONEY.
j. w. Overstreet Refused to Give
Address or Relatives.

The remains Of j. w. Ovestreet,
who died without funds and appar-
emily without friends at 700 North
Polk Friday, are still at the Eakle
undertaking rooms awaiting instruc-
tons from the authorities here.
Overstreet had been a laborer here
probably on the railroad work and
fell a victim to pneumonia. The
small amount of money which he had
at the time Of the Illness was soon
exhausted and his effects are not
sufficient to pay the expenses of his
funeral He told the attendants at
one time that he was 81 years old
that he had mother and other rel
atlves in Indiana, but he refused to
give any more definite information.
He protested that it would only be
a useless bother to tell his relatives
Of his whereabouts and to have the,
take charge Of his remains when he
died, so the attendants were unable
to get any further knowledge of his
family or home address.
Unless instructions are received
shortly from some other source the
remains will be buried here at the
expense OF the county.

CHANCE TO TRADE THE
18TH Street SITE
A PROPOSITION is SAID TO
HAVE BEEN MADE TO AS
ToRIA SCHOOL BOARD.

The crowded conditions-of the high
school building seem to render new
structure necessary and it is known
that interest in this matter has recent
ly been revived among the members
of the Astoria school board. 1t seems
TO be agreed that if the question of a
site-of a site suitable in location and
otherwise can be settled upon the
matter Of then erecting fine High
School building for Astoria win fol-
low as a matter of course.
The school district now owns a
good sized site just off from Fif-
teenth street, up near the location of
the rock crushing establishment, but
many do not look upon this location
with any marked favor. 1t is under
stood that a proposition has been
made to the board by we'll known
gentleman to make trade, to trade
the site owned by the district for an
other good sized lot in presumably
far more favorable location, and one
that is not very far up the hillside, If
this trade can be made on satisfac-
tory terms, or If some other deal can

be made, the whole outlook for d new
building would unquestionably grow
brighter
The tentative plans FOR i new strnc-
ture call for at least 10 rooms. An AL
scirbly room II needed, and there isn't
even an assembly room IN the pres
cnt building, the Mcclurc's. A gym
nasium is also feature that could be
provided for in new structure. The
old Mcclure's building was erected IN
1883, and II was thoroughly well built
and has already done fine service. 1t

now would be simply waste of
money though With care it could be
used for long time yet as one Of

officers at the posts situated at the
mouth OF the Columbia, that such
transgrcssions Of the civil law, as
Saylor's, should meet prompt and
thorough handling at the hands Of the
civil courts and officers; and that in
default Of such action, they intend to
prosecute all such matters on the in
slant they are knowledgable at the

ready to protect the people from
wrongful acts on the part of its sol |
iicrs, and will endeavor to do so,
whenever the local authorities shall
