The next important step in the cul
uvation Of sugar beets in the plant
ing. Early In the season the far
mer should examine his beet drill
TO see that it Is in perfect working
order when planting time arrives.
The time to plant depends upon
the season. ~ well as on the rain
fall and the nature OF the soil
Not less than twenty pounds Of
beet seed to the acre should lie
planted in order TO secure q good
and profitable stand under all condi-
tons. because should dry weather
prevail. enough seed will generally
germinate 10 make q satisfactory
stand. Furthermore. should q crust
be formed on the field after q heavy
rain. one plant viii help its neighbor
10 break through the crust. There
fore. SOW At least twenty pounds Of
seed per acre.
We have noted from personal OBJ
servation that many OF the farmers in
our district are inclined To plant the
seed too deep. Beet seed should
never be planted more than three
tourths 10 one and one-half inches
deep, care should be taken that the
soil Is well packed around the seed
by the press wheels In order TO draw
the moisture necessary for germina.
ton.
The deeper the seed is planted
and especially SO in heavy soil-the
weaker the plants will be, provided
they come up at all. therefore avoid
deep planting.
Thinning.
The next operation is the thinn-
ing. We consider this the most deli
cate and most important, in fact.
the one upon which the results of
the beet crop largely depends.
The farmer. after having decided
HAs
beets to be thinned. should stipu-
late this distance in the written
agreement with his thinning con
tractor. and he should closely super
intend the work in order TO satisfy
himself that II is being properly per
formed.
The most favorable distribution of
the beets In the field is as follows:
II planted in eighteen inch rows, by
thinning them eight inches apart, or.
II planted In sixteen inch rows, by
thinning them nine inches apart.
which will give In either case a stand
Of 1850 beets to the acre.
We. OF course. cannot advise or
recommend an ar, ,itrary distance
between oeets, as much depends upon
the productiyeness OF the land ana
also upon the e,ean.ss OF the stand.
The average poor stand of the last
year VAS due partly to the fact that
the beets came up very uncy.nly.
owing TO the Irregular distribution
of moisture. but II was also due to
the careless work OF the thinners
To sum Up. We suggest Ia order to
Improve the stand OF beeis and con
sequently the gross returns of the
farmer:
First to plant AT least twenty
pounds OF beet seed TO the acre.
Second. to avoid planting too deep.
Third. to supulate In the thinning
contract the average distance Je
tween beets In the row.
Fourth. TO carefully supervise the
work OF the thinners.

the reason for the change In location
the fact that Northern Colorado Is

.Here'. TO the Exempt.l But, Hold

.sBere's to the Exemptsi But, Hold"
To the Ea1itor OF the Evening Star:
The parade of the exempt firemen
yesterday was a gentle reminder of
days that are still near. judged by
years, but seem long past, judged by
the growth around us. There was a
day when the eaueuses of the red shirts
controlled the politics of their COM
rnhnities. when the appearance of a
fireman on the street was as glorious
an event for the small boy as today
the sight of a left-handed pitcher who
has delivered the goods. All that is
left of the heroic ages is the fireman.
Glamour fingers around nobody but
him. Some of him (speoies volunteer)
never had any business handling an
axe, because he was just as liable to
hit the piano a smash with it as the
wall that hid the fire. His spirits rose
when he heard the crash of falling
glass and the squirt Of water swishing
from the hose. If the water spoiled
some nice Turkish rugs on the ground
floor, when there was only a little blaze
in the attic, what was the difference to
the man with the f. D. helmet and
the rubber boots? Wasn't he in his
glory? Did you ever see him shin a
telegraph pole neal the scene of the
blaze" carrying his axe up with him?
Like a pantoinime of Leander swim
ming the Hellespont was he. Wasn't
he. Richard Occur de Lion on such oc-
c~asions? Yes, Henry Of Navarro, Alex
ander, Caesar n SO on, ad lib.
I'm not knocking him, Mr.. Editor.
Cromwell told the artist who was go.

That old fireman is an uninteresting

no temperance crank, either. Long
swigs of Jamaica rum or rye whiskey
he let gurgle down his throat to ban

But who the dickens put the notion
into the head of the Legislature and
the Governor that for all this eclnt
that was his he was entitled to fall
under the provisions of the tenure If

exempt fireman. who has a State or
municipal job shall not be removed.
/ like to see those good fellows get
anything they want; but the principle
Is bad.
Well, here's once again to the old
fireman! He IS getting as scarce here

things that we used to revere in the

Xxx. ENDING OF HEART LINE ICON.
TINLED).

Sometimes the Hear line runs below
its normal curse and ends OH the up
per Mount Of Mars. The result is that
the person will love too ardentiy aud
vehemently, and, as by this course of
the line the space between the Heart
and Head lines becomes very narrow
it shows a secretive disposition.
When the Heart line droops to tka
Mount of the Moon, it speaks of jesl-
ousy heightened by the xces of in,ag-
ination with which the Mount in
flames it.
II is an unfortunate matter for the
Heart line to end on the Mount OF
Venus. For it cannot but cut both
Head and Life lines, and it is elementary
in palmistry that no main line a cut
another without causing serious results
to health, and, consequently, to the
outcome OF the career.

A Land Of Horrors.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
Talk about rituaiistic murder on the
part OF Jews in Russia is cropping UP
again and a repetition of the periodical
horrors that take place there will most
likely occur. The peculiar thing about
the whole affair is the attitude of the
Russian government toward these mas
sacres Of a sect. In the first place, 1t
must be remembered that the govern
nlent connives At these awful murders,
Is there any question in a%nyone's mind
that a government that can keep a
country of 100, 900. 900 people snbdued as
they do, could not stop these wanton
murders?
One would think from all these things
and from the fact hat Jews are not
| allowed to come into Russia, wen il
protected by citizenship conferred by
the United States, that the government
over there would be anxious to get rid
of these people. Not at all. Here lies
the Inconsistency OF that barbarie ma
ton. It is as difficult for a Jew to
cross the border to go out of the coun-
try as it is for one to go in. All kind
Of suhterfuGe must be resorted to, to
leave. At the borders there are a large
number OF guides whose business it is
to smuggle Jews across. I was 5 years
old when I came from Russia and ! re-

EDUCATION OF NO UTILITY TO THE YOUTH

IN NDREW CARNEGIE is a practical man and eminently a man
of common-sense. To the Yale News he gives his views
as 10 the proper mental equipment of a youth for a life
career. He is opposed to the study by the average college boy OF
the dead languages. In the storms of life. asks Mr.. Carnegie, is
the young man "to be supported by drawing upon Hebrew and Greek
barbarians as models, or upon the examples of our modern heroes,
men of practical ideas? No young man can derive inspiration from
two sources. the ancient and the modern, because no young man
has the time TO learn both thoroughly" Only in the case of the
scholar can a university teach an intimate enough knowledge OF a
dead language to be of any practical use in life, and the study is
virtually wasted. 1t is an old and long-mooted question. and An
drew Carnegie holds the better end of the argument. What more
helpless sort of being is there" asks Mr.. Carnegie, than the aver
age college graduate, who, on stepping forth from the walls of his
alma mater. finds himself face to face with the question of what
TO do with himself under the circumstances in which he finds him
self placed? In a majority of cases he knows neither what TO do
nor which way to turn if he is thrown on his own resources

RELIEF FOR THE BEEF BARONs.

eTTa HE case of the beef trust in the courts is radically affected
by the Supreme Court decision in the Standard Oil case. BY
great effort and after overcoming every obstacle interposed
by the skilled attorneys for the trust, the government had at last
brought the beef trust magnates to the point of facing trial, when
the decision appeared. An entirely new aspect has been put upon
the case. The government now has got to prove TO the sathfac.
ton of the Federal Circuit Court that the meat trust practises
unreasonable restraint of trade. and if the court decides that the
restraint is unreasonable, IN appeal will lie to the United States
Supreme Court, to be decided at the leisure of that court. In short,
penalties for the beef barons and relief from beef trust ektortion
ere relegated to the Greek kalends.

SCHOOL CHILDREN CARE OF 7HE TREES.

cTa HE children's leagues, organized in many of the schools
with the consent of the Board of Education last year to
aid the Shade Tree Commission in the care of the shade
trees ON the streets, are to be reorganized in all the schools for this
yeas. The principal work of the league members is that of loosen
ing the earth about the tree and watering it. The Shade Tree
Commission welcomes this volunteer aid and the work is at once
a recreation for the children and a lesson in nature study. 1t
teaches that care of trees which the older generation never learned,
much to the disadvantage of shade tree preservation. The com
mission has done a splendid service to Newark in compensation
for the great neglect and destruction in the past. 1t has planted
many thousands of young trees throughout the city and will plant
many thousands more. But it does not have the force to take con-
slant care of the shade trees, except in the parks, and it will have
Jealous and efficient bands of workers in the school children, trained
10 the work and eager TO perform it.

Believes Taft Can Aid Jews.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
The Presidents speech in the Jewish
Temple in Washington, in which he
commended the Jew and said that
those that were prejudiced against him
were narrow and bigoted men, de-
serves a great deal Of praise, and will
undoubtedly be taken up by the Jews
throughout the country. who will make
known their appreciation in some way.
said, and he must be given credit for
knowing what he is talking about.
Now that he has announced publicly
that the Jews in this and other coun-
tries are worthy Of a high place 1t is
time for him to take some stand in
the matter of the exclusion of the Jew
from Russia, even though the Jew is
an American citizen.
There is no doubt of the fact that
an influential. country like this can dc
a great deal towards bringing about
the fair treatment of the jew by the
Russian authorities. There is no doubt
of the fact thai if the United States
decided to demand that Russia treat
all her citizens fairly Russia would
have to do so. In my opinion, every
other European country would aid the
United States. for in all other Euro
pean countries, with the possible e2-
ception of Turkey, the Jew is treated
as a human being.
President Taft has shown that he
is fearless and that he has the our
welfare of the Jew at heart. He ought
10 go a step further and endeavor to
make the Jew a free man in Russia,
the same as he Is in this country.

Ex-Assemblyman Thomas Goldingay

he was a member OF the House, Mr..

the Assembly in the "it-renlinds-me'

that Goldingay was a Dickens disciple.
But the former a~ssemblynian often
picked a passage out Of his favorite

1t to his friends as an illustration OF
