They act directly on the kidneys

but clean the kidney tissues of
impurities and expel the poison

weight, which is from twenty to
twenty-four ounces. These are
called mothers. A sample taken
from each of these mothers is an
alyzed for sugar content.
In some cases the density and
purity of the juice are also deter
mined. These mothers are divided
into grades according to sugar
content and stored in silos dur
ing the winter. Those that fail to
come up to the required standard
are discarded. In the spring these
mother beets are set out and cul-
tivated carefully. From them the
seed of commerce is produced. By
these painstaking methods the su-
gar producing ability of the beets
is kept up to its present high
standard and even increased from
year to year. 1t is the aim of the
trust to always reduce the size of
the beets SO as to get more ton
mage to the acre and at the same
time increase the saccharine con-
tent.

YEARS AGO
INTERESTING ITEMS FOR THE
OLD-TINIER OF THE
DAYS GONE BY,
Many Little Items of Interest of
People, the Names of Whom are
Still Familiar. Clipped From the
Columns of The Delta Chief of

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO
The family of Henry Fadley ar
rived from Colorado Springs last
week.
A bridge over the Uncompahgre
river is one of the questions the
new board of commissioners will
have to tackle.
D. R. Brown was appointed a
justice of the peace for Precinct No.
l, by the commissioners at their late
meeting.
1t is said that Capt. John Kohnle
held the candle while the blind man
fixed his organ, at the concert last
Sunday night.
Rev. L. C. Alley made a flying trip
to the Grand Mesa, fishing, last
week. He found the mosquitoes mo-
nopolizing the country and he made
his stay very short.
Major Burkhart moves on his
ranch up the Uncompahgre this week
His livery business will hereafter be
conducted by Henry Hammond.
A. w. Carr brought into this office
last Monday samples of some White
Russian oats the heads of which
measured seventeen inches long, and
heads of Odessa wheat seven inches
long.
VI. c. Vandeventer and W. o.
Stephens returned from Un-a-weep
the first of the week, bringing in
several fine specimens of copper
ore. which were left in our office for
exhibition. They report everything
progressing favorably in the camp.
There is some talk of improving
the site of the sulphur spring, and
placing a neat summer house over it
As the spring is on the public high
way and can never be owned or
controlled by private individuals or
corporation. all the necessary i'm
PROVEN nts will have to be done by
our citizens.

persons violating the fish laws. TIE
birds had flown before they arrived
on the grounds. They went almost
all over the Grand Mesa, and report
nearly a hundred lakes on the tor
of it. all well stocked with trout
but that the mosquitoes are so bad
as to make fishing at the time a
rather unpleasant job.

The Seed of the Sugar Beet.

The announcement is made by the
sugar trust that it will soon receive
in Colorado a train or so of import
ed beet seed recently contracted
abroad by one of the local officers
Most of our sugar beet seed is
brought direct from Germany and at
present the cost of the quantity
used in this country is probably
100000 a year, which is likely to
double within the near future. While
international trade balance, it is
for many reasons desirable that we
produce our beet seed at home.
Enough experiments have already
can be grown here. Whether at
present it can be grown at profit
is an entirely different matter. The
sugar beet is biennial plant, a
highly artificial product. and like ali
such plants has a tendency to re-
vert to its original type.
To maintain the higher sugar
content and the purity of the Juice
it is necessary to continually Sc
lect beets from which to produce
seed. To do this successfully and
to constantly produce seed de-
scended from the best mothers and
in commercial quantities involves
the exercise of the highest art OF
the plant breeder. We can do 1t
and are doing it to some extent
but the business will always be op-
posed by the sugar trust which
desires to control this branch of
the industry and the reasons are
quite obvious. Some of our farm
ers are endeavoring to produce a
better beet than any yet known.
especially in reduction of the
number of plants from one seed
whereby the cost of thinning can
be lessened.
But as a commercial proposition
It will probably be difficult for
some time to compete with Ger
many, where labor cost is so much
smaller and where the producers
have an established market in all
the beet sugar producing coun-
tries of the world. The production
of sugar beet seed begins with the
harvesting of the regular crop.
At this time the best shaped beets
for shape counts good deal
are selected and of the proper

Getting Along i'm Years.

Two venerable residents OF this COM
munity celebrated their birthdays last
week. James Bane, who lives south oil
town, entered upon his ninety-first year,
and properly observed the day by having
a sort of family reunion. Mr.. Bane, de-
spite his great age, is still sturdy and
active and in full possession of his facul-
ties, and. comes to town whenever he
feels like it. He rejoices in excellent
health, but was little upset on his birth
day, when he ate a couple of saucers too
much of icecream. 1t was only passing
pain in the stomach, and he is looking
forward to another similar celebration
next year. H. Frank Needy, OF Shep-
herdstown, has just passed his 18TH birth
day. He, too, is well and hearty and
could easily pass for twenty years young
er. There's nothing delicate about Mr..
Needy, for he pulls the scales at 24O and
is in excellent health, with his faculties
unimpaired. There's no jollier man in
the community, and he is living exam
pie OF the old saying, 'laugh and grow
fat" He says that while he is not quite
as old as Mr.. Bane, he hopes to catch up
with him before lorg. Both Mr.. Bane
and Mr.. Needy are among our most high
ly regarded citizens, and they have many
friends who will join with us in wishing
for them still many years of comfort and
happiness.

On Their Way to California.

Charles r Koontz left ShepherdStoWn
with his family yesterday bound for Pas
adena, California, where they expect to
make their future home. They took the
morning train on the Norfolk & Western
Railway for Shenandoah Junction, and
there they boarded B. & o. train No. 80 at
II O'Clock. They are duein Chicago this
morning, and the only change they make
will be from the B. & o. to the Chicago
and Northwestern Railway. They leave
Chicago this afternoon on the latter road
and are DUET Pasadena Sunday afternoon,
il all goes well. This is no light pilgrim
age that Mr.. KoontZ has undertaken, for
he carries his ten children with him, the
youngest of whom is three years old.
There are five girls and five boys. He
bought five full tickets and two half tick
cts. at a total cost of $295.08. The four
Younger children travel free. The head
OF the family takes ample provisions with
him to feed the numerous mouths that
require SuStenance along the way. his
grub boxes are filled with ten chickens,
twenty pounds of beef, Is dozen big rolls,
two dozen beaten biscuits and other good
things in proportion. There will be no
famine on the way if he can helpit. The
youngsters left with pleasant anticipations
OF nice, long ride on the cars, but the
probability is that they will get enough OF
railroad riding before they reach their
destination. Mr.. Koontz expects to work
at his trade of carpenter in California, and
has also the promise OF situations for
several of the children. We hope that
they may have safe and comfortable
Journey and that they may all prosper
and be happy in their new home. They
have friends there who will greet them
when they arrive in Pasadena.
