Beet Sugar.

Colorado stands SO far in the lead
in its production of beet sugar that
comparisons can only be made with
the other beet-growing states as
group. Last year our factories manu-
factured 423,000,000 pounds Of sugar
Michigan came next with 165,000,O0O
pounds, and California third with 1884,
100000 pounds. Utah produced 100.-
600, 900 pounds, so the output OF the
Centennial State was only 100000
pounds less than that of her three
closest rivals combined.
1t is less than ten years since the
first sugar Deets were grown in Colo
RADIO and the industry is now one OF
the greatest in the state. Peculiarties
OF soil and climate combine to make
this region especially advantageous for
beet culture, and the farmers are
getting rich. But 1t is rather signiti-
cant that Notwithstanding the develop
ment Of this tremendous industry right
here at our very doors, the consumer
pays as much for his sugar as in the
days when all of 1t was grown on
Cuban plantations. The item Of freight
makes no difference whatever. You
may live In Longmont, or Sugar City,
or any other sugar-factory town, but
you pay more for the product Of the
mill than the people OF Kansas City
pay for 1t, 700 miles away. 1t is simply
another case OF too much trust.-Colo-

GARDEN FERTiLIzERs.
Prof. eurkett Gives Some Important
Facts Regarding Them.

Prof. Burkett, the wellknown au.
thority on soils and plant food, has
this to say of the different functions
of plant foods and the kind of each
best adapted to garden soils:
Iron. though present in plants in but
very small amounts, fills a highly inn
portant place. Without 1t the chloro
phyl bodies are not formed, and as
these organs are necessary to the as
similation of carbon dioxid no increase
in the dry substance of a plant can
take place without iron. Plants can
elongate in the dark. the growing tips
being nourished by material drawn
from the other parts of the plant. but
there is no gain in dry weight
Potassium salts are essential to
plants. and the potassium seems to be
necessary in the formation of starch.
though not constituent of it. In some
kinds of plants potassium Chord is
more effective than other compounds
and the chlorin seems to facilitate the
movement of starch from the leaves
to other parts of the plant.
Sodium, the metal of common salt,
Glaubers salt, and others, is often pres
ent in large proportion in plant ashes.
1t has not been positively proven to
be essential to plants and It's presence
Is doubtless to large extent accident
al. 1t has been found. however, that
to limited extent 1t can replace po-
tassium in plants; that is, smaller
supply Of potassium compounds will
meet the need of crop il sodium COM
pounds be present than is required in
their absence.
Calcium, the metal of limestone and
gypsum, appears to be required in the
processes that result in the formation
Of woody tissue. 1t also enters into
combination with organic acids that
would otherwise be injurious to the
plant, thus forming substances OF an
excretory nature that are deposited
In the cells. Calcium and magnesium
form compounds with the nitrogenous
constituents of plants which seem to
be concerned In the movement of these
substances from one part of the plant
to another.
Phosphorus, to be used by plants,
must be in the form of phosphate.
Calcium phosphates are most abund-
ant in soils. The phosphates form
compounds with the nitrogenous con-
stituents or proteids of the plant and
facilitate their movement. Phosphor-
GUS is also an essential constituent of
some of the most important parts of
plants, including the protoplasm Of the
cells. which is the living. active part
by which the chemical processes of
plant-growth are brought about.

be found on the twigs. The accom-
panying illustration shows the spring
canker worm and to the left, in the
lower corner. twig with a character
istic ring around 1t. The eggs are held
on by their association with the rest
of the ring. and not because they are
stuck to the twig. If tharp knife is
run lengthwise down the twig over the
egg mass 1t will be laid open and will
peel of in the hand. The eggs can
later be burned. A boy who Is light
and, active will be able to do this work
much, better than an older or heavier
person. All of the eggs removed now
will save work later on. The eggs
will not hatch till the leaves are out
so the orchardists can afford to wait
till there comes a bright day pre-.
vious to the leaving out OF the trees.
A boy should not be sent about the
trees on bold, windy day. The work
should be thoroughly done and will
save much damage when the leaves
open and the eggs would hatch IL
allowed to remain.-Departmen Bull.

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards. Apr. 81.
The market here was active last
week and prices advanced 1042Oc on
steers and 25M35c on cows. There
was nothing very choice offered dur
ing the week in the steer line. Most
of the good grades Offered sold at
$5OO@5.65 and choice stuff is quot
able up to 5000 while right fancy
steers would bring even more. Cows
are in strong demand and sold to
good advantage. A bunch OF choice
cows brought $3.50. the highest price
paid here for several weeks, and
other good grades sold at $i,25@4.S5.
Medium to fair COWS brought $350@
4.25 and stock cows and Gamers sold
from $3.50 down. Bulls brought $3.50
Q3.S5 with a few choice butcher
grades at $4.0O@425. Veal calves
were little higher for the week with
tops at $G.4O Feeder and stocker
trade was very light as receipts were
light. Prices are strong TO 15c
higher than a week ago. Bulk of the
good steers offered sold at s450@5.1O
and right fancy stuff would bring
little more. Fair to good grades went
at $4.OO@4.50.
Hog trade was very good during the
week but prices at the close are a
little lower than a week ago. The
price range Saturday was from s5.42k
to $3.50.
Sheep trade was very light during
the week as receipts were light. The
demand is very good but prices weak
owing to lower markets east.

GROWING CELERY PLANTS.
Some Suggestions for lts Planting
and Cultivation.

Gardeners who grow 1t for the
early demand usually sow the seed
under glass in March or early April.
Cover the seed very tightly and keep
the weeds subdued. The plants should
be large enough to set in the open
ground In May, II the season is favor
able
A later crop may be sown in open
ground later in April or in May, to
be marketed from September to De-
cember Sow this in drills from two
to three feet apart. Sometimes set
lettuce or SOW early beets between
the rows of celery, but this is only
advisable when the land is rich and
holds moisture enough for both. The
celery should be large enough to
thin out and transplant in June or
July. Some prefer to cut the tops of
the plants once or twice before trans.
planting to make them more stocky.
The weeds must be kept down at all
stages Of growth, but as the roots are
widespreading, 1t should not be
worked deep.
For winter and spring use the seed
is seldom sown before .day, and the
thinning and transplanting are not
done before July. II very hot when
this is done. standing boards along the
rows to shade them on the south is
thought to save more plants from
being injured by the sun than can be
saved by watering them, and is less
labor in most gardens. The boards
will be needed later on for blanching.
These varieties are usually sown
four feet apart II they are to be
blanched or partly blanched between
boards, and six feet apart If to be
blanched by banking with earth. A
common practice used to be to SOW
three or five rows of onions as early
as the ground could be made ready.
then have row for sowing or trans.
planting celery, and thus proceed
through the field. The plants should
not be less than one foot apart. The
onions will be out OF the way before
the celery Is large enough to begin
blanching.
