Grafton of this, l can quote an Ord
way farmer as saying, ELEVEN tons OF
beets per acre Is good enough for me. ="
On page 2s l read. "a quick pene-
tration of the root into the sub-soil is
of the utmost Importance to a proper
and healthy development OF the plant
and to secure this. the most effective
plowing must be done in the fall, so
that the new layer Of soil brought to
the surface may be the better acted
upon by the atmospheric agencies to
render the plant food available. Plow
ten inches deep and If any tendency
to hard pan exists, sub-soil six inches
deeper"
Before closing this sugar beet letter,
| want to send out "A pointer given to
me recently by a Greeley beet man.
In substance he said, 1--WE learned
years ago that the potato must get its
water from below instead OF surface,
and we begin to think so OF the beet
So some of our farmers are setting
their drills SO they plant the rows in
pairs IL inches apart to the row and
the pairs feet apart, l. C., first two
rows IL inches apart then "A inches
OF space, then two more rows II inches
apart. This gives same number Of
rows as though all were IS inches
apart. Then VIII, n ready to irrgate,
4 large shovel Is used in the wide
rows only, and set deep enough so that
no water can get out OF furrow o
flood the ground. In other words, we
irrigate in alternate rows only and let
the beet get its water from seerag"
the same as the potatoes.
The writer can not vOuch for the
advisabilily in all cases OF this - stem,
but surely IL is worth our while to
experiment along this line.
In closing, let me remark that the
drift OF all this information Is toward
Intensity and thoroughness OF work q.
The beet is not truly a field crop. 1t
is the gardeners companion, and needs
same treatment as the garden beet.
Let us have no more 50 to l0O.acre
beet fields tended by one grower and
his hired man. 1t spells failure. 1t
has done so in my own experience.
Five of seven crops failed to balance
on the right side. Two crops OF %
acres, well fertilized and tended,
netted me over 800 per acre-yielding
respectively 81 and 30 tons per acre
but the five crops were all large in
acrcagc-from so to lis acres each.

TICKET.
Defeated by Same Opponent

Same Election.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 19.-The
final count of votes Of the citys first
direct primary shows that Francis J.
Heney won the democratic nomination
over Charles Nj. Fickert by 124 votes;
while Fickert captured the republican
from Heney by three fourth majority
and the union labor from Heney by
four fifths majority.
1t is expected that hot campaign
will be waged this fall as the graft
prosecution is by far the most import
ant issue Supporters of Heney contend
the fate of the prosecution depends
upon his election. F'ickert so far is non
committal on his attitude toward the
prosecutions.
The following was the vote for dis
