IN the United States there are fifty
seven sugar-beet factories working
three months each year, grinding,
boiling and squeezing the sugar out
of nearly forty thousand tons of beets
every working day, but this does not
near fill our wants. These facts ought
to be encouraging to beet-growers.
Thorough cultivation is an import
ant factor in producing good sugar
beets. 1t is common saying among
Germans that 1.-The sugar must tbe
hoed into the beet"
In no time of it's life should SUI
gar beet be allowed to stop growing
for if it once becomes stunted it is
doubtful whether it will ever make
as good beet as it would have been
under conditions of continuous
growth.
Another way the beet has been i'm
proved is by increasing it's sugar con
tent. This has been done without in
creasing the size of the beet.
If largely increased yield of beets
is combined with a much higher SUI
! gar content it is entirely possible tc
| obtain three times as much sugar pei
acre as is produced on an average al
| the present time.

BEST VALUES
In FERTILIZER
Should Be First and Last Consid.
GRAFTON of Farmer in Rep1ac.
ing Plant Food Taken
From Soil.

The farmer when buying CONNER
cial fertilizers to replace the plant
food taken from his soil by previous
crops, should consider first the agri-
cultural value of the fertilizer, not
chemical values on paper nor low
prices. 1t is, of course, to the farm
er's interest to get the best fertilizer
he can for the least money, which
fact is also paramount with the deal
er. In nine cases out often, however,
the dealer handling fertilizers, ends
up by buying those lowest in price,
regardless of the quality and, when
selling these to the farmers who do
not know what constitutes the best
value in fertilizers, the dealer may in
crease his profits, also may be saving
the farmer a dollar or two on his pur-
chase, but, unless the fertilizer pos
sesses the agricultural value, that is,
the ability of the fertilizer to produce
the best results in the field. 1t Is a
question whether the dealer or farmer
have benefited themselves.
The dealer or local merchants sue
cess depends on the agricultural pro-
ducts of a community, and it Is to his
interests. as well as to the farmers.
to produce as heavy yield, Of as
good a quality as possible.
The farmer should make study of
| fertilizers, familiarize himself with
what constitutes the best value, and
when he demands a fertilizer of this
kind from the dealer, the latter will
be compelled to disregard mere f1nan.

value of fertilizers for the benefit OF

had we not ourselves heard the rap

Louises Imagination had run away
with her. The outer door was closed
and locked. and the staircase curved
above us, for all the world like any
other staircase.
Halsey, who had never taken seri-

enough now. He examined the panel
ing of the wainscoting above and be-
low the stairs, evidently looking for a
secret door, and suddenly there flashed
into my mind the recollection of a
scrap of paper that Mr.. Jameson had
found among Arnold Armstrong; eff

fertilizers possessing the highest ag-
ricultural value, consistent with their
facilities
The analysis on paper does not de-
eide the agricultural value, neither
does the price; two fertilizers of simi-
lar analyses do not necessarily have
the same agricultural value, nor sell
for the same money, neither are the
prices comparable as determining
which of the two is the most econom-
ical, unless the quality Of the raw ma
terial used in each is known. For in
stance, the fertilizer made OF combi-
nations of rock phosphate, hair. leath-
er, wool clippins, kainit and filler,
might show as good analysis on paper
as another made of pure animal bone,
dried blood, tankage,. nitrate Of soda.
sulphate of ammonia and high-grade
potash salts, but the agricultural value
of the latter would be far superior to
| that of the former. The price of the

above, would no doubt vary, but in de-
Gliding which to buy, the agricultural
value of the latter would far out

ter how large, as upon the agricultural
value Of the fertilizer depends the re-
suits that the farmer expects to get
| in the field.
The agricultural value of the fertf-
lizer purchased should be the first and
last consideration. The quality OF the
raw materials used in the manufactur-
ing of fertilizers concerns the dealer
most, especially when the consumer
depends upon his good judgment in
selecting the brands needed for his
soil. These fertilizers having the
highest agricultural value which is de-
termined only by the. quality of the
raw materials used in their manufac-
ture will be found the best. not only
for the farmers, but also for the deal
ers. The old axiom: "a satisfied Gus
| toner Is the best advertisement" In
especially applicable to the fertilizer
business, as in perhaps no other COM
modify does the financial loss or gain
show I'D as strikingly as in the use Of
fertilizers.

The present average yield OF beets
per acre in this country is about 10
tons, and the percentage of sugar &C
tually extracted and refined does not
exceed IL, making the average yield
of sugar per acre approximately 2.400
pounds.
Yields of more than so tons of beets
per acre are sometimes obtained. and
yields OF more than 20 tons are COM
mon.
From 20 to 25 per cent of the su-
gar in the beets has bene reported
| so frequently that it is safe to assume
| that an average sugar content of IL
per cent, is within the limits of possi-
| bility.
If an average yield of 20 tons per
acre and an average sugar content
of Is per cent could be reached, we
would have an average yield of 1900
pounds of sugar per acre.
Clay loans are very satisfactory for
sugar-beet production, provided other
conditions are favorable; but more
depends upon the physical condition
OF the soil and upon methods OF cul-
tivation than upon the particular
kind or variety Of soil used. The
soil, however, should be well supplied
with humus and we'll drained.

And lastly, these people are fired
by the thought that a better day is
coming. Their children are going to
school, as they could not, and as a
Japanese editor said to me this week:
every boy in the Empire believes
he may some day become Premier!
With war and military taxes alone
amounting to probably ten times the
total average tax rate in the South,
the people Of Japan yet willingly ana
gladly vote enough additional taxes
to give practically every boy and
girl the advantages of ten months
schooling a year-schools, too, that
train more directly for practical life
than those In our own country.
And the lesson of 1t all? Is 1t not
lust this: That we in America should
feel highly favored in that we have
such magnificent resources, and yet as
sharply rebuked in that we are do
ing so little with them?
And most of all, Is there not need
for us to emulate the broad patriot
Ism and the heroic spirit OF self
sacrifice In which the Land OF the
Rising Sun, in spite Of dire poverty,
is providing ten months schools for
every boy and girl in all It's borders
And indeed, how otherwise can we
make sure, before 1t is too late, that
our Southern boys and girls will not
be out-distanced in twentieth-cen'
tury achievement by the children OF a
people our fathers regarded only as
hopeless heather?

interfere with the preparation OF the
land for corn; but In the Central
Southern States. where early corn is
almost always best, the so-called
cover crops are decidedly In the
way OF the proper preparation OF the
corn lands.
On the whole. however. when these
cover crops can be sowed before the
first Of November, and In some cases
before the middle OF November, we
believe they pay. They certainly
should protect the land. furnish suf-
ficient grazing and yield enough hui
mus-forming material to pay for the
seed and putting 1t in.
IL the land can be broken in the
fall and cover crop put In, the ideal
condition has been reached, but
where cover crops can not be used
we would still break the land in the
fall and leave it rough, except where
1t is so rolling that the washing
away Of soil is likely to be a serious
item OF loss.

FALL FLOWING AND COVER
CROPS.

A correspondent at Paden, Miss.
says he cuts his cotton and corn
stalks as soon as he can get his crops
OF, but sows nothing In the land,
and asks II that Is best.
There are two distinct propositions
here. First. Is 1t best to cut cotton
and corn stalks and turn them under
as soon as the crops are OF? We
think 1t safe to state that where the
land Is left without cover crop dur
ing the winter that In some cases 1t
would be best to defer the plowing
until early spring or late winter We
only recognize one important reason
for the foregoing statement, and that
is that land inclined to wash will
suffer more II plowed in the fall. Or,
in other words. the hard soil with
such growth as the stalks. weeds and
grass left on 1t will wash less than
freshly broken, bare land.
We do not underestimate the dam
age done to Southern soils from
washing, but unless the land washes
badly, we would prefer to plow the
vegetable matter under In the fall.
In doing this. however, the burrows
should be run In such direction as
to reduce the washing to a minimum,
and the land left rough.
2. The other proposition-"Is II
best to leave the plowed land without
a cover crop?"-can be more positive
ly answered In the negative, and vet
there are many conditions which
make the sowing of cover crops of
doubtful value.
II the cover crops can be sowed
early enough in the fall, which is
sometimes difficult In the case OF cot
ton lands. and left late enough in the
spring, cover crops are always to be
recommended. These so-called win
ter cover crops do not give much
protection to the land unless sowed
early enough to give them time dur
ing the warm weather to make some
growth. In such case they not only
afford protection to the land, but fur
nish considerable feed for live stock.
The chief growth of these crops, how
ever, is In the spring and II allowed
TO occupy the land late enough to
make growth to furnish feed, or
transforming material, It is a Sc
rious interference with the prepara-
tion OF the land for cotton and corn.
In the Eastern Southern States
where May corn does we'll these early
spring-growing crops do not seriously

HOPKINS AND STARK
WRESTLING MATCH,

.
A wrestling match has, been ar
ranged to take place in the Former
Ashley store building on Main street,
Friday evening, August 26, COM
mencmg at o'clock. The princi-
pals are ]. e. Eopkins of Colfax,
Wash, and r. Stark of Williamsport,
Pa.
Great interest centers around the
event in local sporting circles, as
Hopkins, the local man, has had a
800 challenge up for long time.
He had found no one who cared to
come up against him until Stark put
in an appearance. Stark is the larg-
er man of the two and may have
hard time making the weight-175
pounds. Not vsry much is known
of Stark here except that he de
feated Green at Moscow last year,
so that local men, knowing Hopkins
prowess, look for lively match.
Several interesting preliminaries,
boxing and wrestling, will precede
the main event.
