moments in deep thought. and then
began:

SUGAR BEET
The Greatest Factor in Production of
Human Food.


The following interesting informa-
ton is reproduced as bearing upon
this section and the sugar beet in
dustry. 1t has often been claimed
and is being proven yearly that the
proper cultivation of sugar beets, and
the leaving of the roots after har-
vest forms sub soil that is very
beneficial to future crops. Sugar
beets in being rotated with small
grains and other crops of this section
performs its important part OF the
chemical changes that are necessary
in keeping land in proper shape. Al
falfa replaced nitrogen for future crops
which is a decided benefit to the land
after it has passed through the money
making stage for alfalfa. The land Is
left in better condition for future
crops. The same seems to apply to
sugar beet cultivation, which leaves
the land better for some other crop
than before the beet cultivation even
though it is not advisable to plant
beets on land after a certain number
OF crops.
The statement is as follows, and
was made by Truman G. Palmer. an
authority on agriculture: 1T is safe to
say that since the creation of the
world. no other factor has had such
an influence in the production OF hu.
man food supply as the pithy, fibrous
woody little root which the Sarbar-
ians brought back from Italy and
planted on the Bohemian plateau.
This little root was the sugar beet

That last round of games of the
City League series at Amusement
Park Sunday was certainly a winner,
even though the Nationals were not,
Such ball tossing as the Marions and
Nationals accomplished for FIVE inn
ings and such as was exhibited
throughout the Puritan-D. S. A. G..
encounter should increase the base
ball spirit in every fan that saw the
games.
= Bosco, the one who eats 'em alive,
appears elated over Smokers tip
that did not materialize. Dear boy,
kindly let this enter your bellfry,
that Smoker, too, was fooled. He
received that tip straight from the
National camp. Furthermore. the
Mats did not make such a bad
try. They had their opponents on
pins for a time. The rest happened
because AL. Waters was not on hand
with the balloon anchor.
The Inter-Church Baseball League
series did not wind up last Saturday
as had been previously arranged. In
investigating the records, it has been
found that more than ne postponed
game will have to be played. 1t is
likely that one Of these will be
played between the local and Wood
bridge Methodist teams, In Wood
bridge, next Saturday.

Almost all members who are going
to participate in the City Basketball
LEAGUE series were on hand at the
Auditorium last Sunday to hold the
second league practice Of the season.
From all accounts, the respective
teams made good showings, giving
Indications that the new league will
be a lively one and that it will take
a good team to win.
The Marion A. c. nine is going to
Midtown next Saturday afternoon to
buck up against the strong Midtown
B. B. c. The latter club has a long
list of victories against some of the
best teams in these parts and 1t is
concluded that the Marions will have
to go some to win.
