PREPARATION OF sBBD BED

power of the, seed and thus produce
weak plants.
Wherever the machine used for
drilling seed is not equipped with
press wheels it is good plan to fol-
low the seeding with corrugated
roller, and in cases where there is no
danger of the land blowing, smooth
one may be used. In uring roller
one should be cautious not to use il
when. the land is wet, for in such
cases it will only stick the surface,
as well as the subsoil,, together and
form crust which soon becomes
hardened by the .sun, and the seed
sprouts or roots cannot penetrate Ii.
Sugar Beet Seeding.
Judging from the unsettled wealth
er conditions this spring it is not
thought advisable to commence gen.
eral seeding much before about April
Goth. Considering that the germina-
tion of the seed is slow in early
spring owing to low temperatures. the
beet plants will then not be above
the ground until about May 5, 1t
which time the danger of frost should
be over.
Caution should be exercised not to
plant the seed to 4 greater depth than
one to one and hall inches and bet
ter results can be obtained by shall
lower planting. In case seed cannot
be deposited in moisture sufficiently
to thoroughly germinatc the. seed
and make a stand, irrigation should
be applied.
Many poor stands are chiefly due
70 too deep planting, and our cxpcr-
ience has been that Is per cent OF the
rcplantirg necessary (asidc from
frost killed bccts) is due 10 the seed
being planted too deep.
Not less than twenty pounds OF
seed per acre should be used, as a
good stand is very essential to 4 good
tonnage.
For the benefit of the beet growers,
in order to demonstrate the effects
Of different depths OF seed planting,

The seed bed is the foundation OF
all good crops, and the best of land
will not give the yield it should un-
less this important fact is observed.
a few hints are herewith given as to
the best methods of preparing a seed
bed for general farm crops.
At present the soil in most parts
of the Arkansas valley is i'll quite a
moist condition which makes the
plowing comparatively easy, and
causes the ground to pulverize nice
ly, wherever it IS worked fresh.
In cases where the ground has
been pastured during the winter which
has caused the ground to be tramped
firm, it is advisable to lapdisc the
ground before plowiug. In this man
ner all the ground turned under will
be well pulverized and the plant roots
later will have easy acess TO the SUI
soil and not be ,hindcred by clods and
hard obstacles which the small rooI-
lets cannot penetrate.
The plow should be promptly fol-
lowed by the harrow while the
ground is fresh and will easily pui-
vcrize. 1t is advisable to harrow
your plowing not later than one half
dasAafter the burrows are turned.
Thy packs the loose ground and
forms a mulch on the surface, thus
preventing unnecessary evaporation.
As soon rs the plowinp OF the indi-
vidual field has been finished, thor
ough cross narrowing should be prac-
ticcd. In the meantime, however, the
necessary leveling should be done.
The number of times 4 piece OF
ground should be narrowed depends
unon the condition and nature OF the
soil. However, all ground bGlOre
planting. should be thoroughly pulyer-
lied to the depth OF the pIow fuTrow.
The packing and leveling. as well, var
les in different fields. bun the ground
S;ould be sufficiently firm 1hat it does
not dry out to tic seed depth. and
therefore a good capillary attraction
OF the subsoil moisture is obtained,
and this can only be had by the
ground being firm.
The depth Of, planting different
seeds varies, but in nil cases cacl, in
diyiduai Kind should DE planted to Il
uniform depth. The soil should be
packed firmly around 50 that good,
quick gcrminFtIon is cbtained. In
case the. SOIL is loose and porous
above the seed, it will dry ont quickly,
and drying ont of the seed after it has
once taken in moisture from the
ground will weaken the ,germination

OLDEST DEMOCRATIC SENATOR
in CONGRESS sUccUM1s TO
PARALYSIS.
FUNERAL TO Be OFFICIAL
vies.President Appoints Delegation
to Attend Last Ritss-Dead Sens
tor Was Noted for His
Courtesy.

Lynchburg. Va. June 3o.-John w.
Daniel senior senator from Virginia,
died at Lynchburg sanitarium last
night of paralysis and cerebral
hemorrhage. His death removes the
oldest of the democratic senators in
point Of service. OF the entire list he
was the only one who could be said to
belong to the old regime. And, as
he was the oldest in service, he was
one of the most conspicuous in popu-
lar favor.
For no personal trait was Senator
Daniel SO noteworthy as that Of UT.
banity. Whether In private life or
In his intercourse with his senatorial
colleagues. his courtesy was unfailing.
Even In the heat OF debate and often
under provoking circumstances. he
never failed to submit to Interruptions
and to make polite response to inquir-
les and objections. His treatment Of
his friends was worthy Of the best
days of the Old Dominion. He was
the senior minority member of the
senate committee of finance and held
high place in many others Of the most
important committees. He was chair
man of the committee OF private land
claims.
Washington, d. c., June 30.-vice
President Sherman today appointed
the following senators to represent the
upper branch of congress ct the fun.
eral of the late Senator John w.
Daniel at Lynching. Va. next Friday:
Messrs. Martin. Rayner. Smith. (Md.)
Simmons, Dupont, Oliver, Warren,
kean. Basen, Elkins. Wetmore and
Money.
The house will be represented BY
the entire Virginia delegation in con-
gress. Representative Payne Of New
York. Clarke of Missouri. Bingham OF
Pennsylvania, Hull of Iowa. and Taw-
ney of Minnesota, also will be menu
bers of the house committee. The two
delegations will leave Washington for
Lynchburg In a special train departing

BLAME RESERVOIR PEOPLE.
eeaverhead Farmers Deprived ~
Water TO Begin Suit.

Dillon.-Preparations are being made
to start the largest water suit ever
begun in Beaverhead county. The suit
Is due to the exceptional shortage OF
water in this valley at the present
time, many Of those not owning old
water rights having their irrigation
supply entirely cut OF.
The suit will include everyone on the
Beaverhead and Bedrock rivers from
the Point Of Rocks, Is miles below Dill.
lon. to the head Of the Bedrock river
in the Centennial valley. a distance Of
nearly 10 miles. It is estimated that
the suit will cost $4,000.
A considerable number Of ranchers
we're prone to blame the Bedrock r.
rigation and Reservoir company. which
built at Lima dam, for the present
shortage Of water and accuse the com.
pany of not permitting the natural flow
of the Bedrock river over thespillway
of the dam. Newell c. Knight, repre-.
senting the company, and George r.
Featherly, president Of the Farmers
association and representing the farm.
ers, addressed letter to John w.
Wade, state engineer at Helena, re-
questing that he personally inspect the
intake and outlet of the Lima reservoir
and authorized him to take charge Of
all measurement of water passing into
and out Of the reservoir to settle in
the minds of the ranchers whether or
not they are getting the water they
should get. The reservoir company
volunteers to pay the expenses Of two
men sent there by the state engineer
to look after the water the remainder
Of the season.
