beet Bulletin

Replanting and late planting OF
beets is still In progress and. judg-
ing from the lateness of the sea
son, can be continued with reason-
able ASSURE nee of fair returns as
late as June goth.
Observation shows that consider
able replanting of fields is due to
improper irrigation as the lightly
irrigated fields afforded enough
moisture to swell and germinate a
portion OF the beet seed. but due
to heat and dry winds. the moisture
was not sufficient to keep the
young plants growing until they
became strong enough to resist the
unfavorable conditions.
Therefore. great care should be
exercised in irrigating up the seed
of late planting 30 that the water
thoroughly saturates the soil be-
yond the seed row and the seed full
ly germinates and starts it's growth
before the heat and wind has op-
portunity to evaporate the moist
ure. In case of shortage of water
1t Is better to thoroughly irrigate
small field with good results than
to distribute the water over a large
area and thereby secure q stand
which might be Improbable TO
work.

the amount of the bonds adjourned
court for the term, which throws al
proceedings under the report over

recent county committee of examin
ers, C. NJ. Lee, J. F. Curry and F.
H. Rosacrans, to bring the report
of the county treasurer's office
down from the Mulnix report to
date. This committee has already

satisfactory as 1t is honest and
works for about one-third of the

ORANGE MAYOR CONFERS
WITH TAX BOARD HEAD.
Deadlock in Common Council
Thought to Have Been Topic.

When Mayor Arthur B. Seymour. of
Orange, and Laurence T.. Fell, head of
the County Board of Equalization of
Taxes, held a secret conference today,
it is believed that the serious problem
created by the Orange Common Couii-
ellis failure to select three assessors
was discussed. The required time as
set by law for the assessments in
Orange to begin is next Saturday.
The deadlock in the council over the
appointments has eaused the trouble.
The County Tax Board held an execu-
tive session yesterday at the Court
House OF the subject.
Saturday is the last day on which
work is to be commenced upon the
assessment of the city property, and
as the council failed to take action
Monday night, owing to the deadlock
over William Kearney. the question
will have to be taken up by the county
board in the courts. Councilman Stet-
son refused to support Kearney.

ORANGE LAWYER
IN LIVELY TILT
WITH MAGISTRATE
Attorney Takes Case Out of
Court After Differences
With Judge Bray.

The heated atmosphere in Judge Jo-
seph B. Bray's police court this morn
ing was sen up a few degrees
when ovidio Bianchi, attorney for
Mrs. Fanny Turesky, of 3 New
street, Orange, sought to get the court
to accept a complaint against neigh
bors for whipping the widow. The
woman had beer assaulted, her law
yer stated, a fortnight ago, and after
conferences the charge she sought TO
make was not pressed, but when re.
peated assaults followed the woman de-
cided to prosecute two women neigh
bors who give her a thrashing for di-
version whenever they feel in the hui
NOR.
Bianchi produced the and a
shoemaker who had been attracted by
her cries when the alleged assault took
place. These he offered as witnesses,
and the court suggested that other wilt
nesses might be needed when the case
was sent to Newark.
Does your honor mean | must try
the case out now?" queried h indlg.
nant lawyer. Il have two witnesses
here h testify to the attack. have
the complainant and here is a shoe
maker. Is not that sufficient for a
complaint"
II am merely trying to help you
out" said the court. 81 want to get
from -our witnesses testimony of their
side of the story. Can you not get
other witnesses here?'
my client should not be compelled
to pay money to subpoena other wit
nesses here, as she would be required
TO do to get more testimony. She
should be looked after by the state.
You can send for additional witnesses
if you want, but she should not pay
for them. If you do not want to axe
my complaint, I can go elsewhere II
have 1t tax ~"
"Well. you go right ahosd and take 1t
somewhere else" said Judge Bray. and
the lawyer, his client and witness left
the courtroom.
Judge Bray later explained that his
insistence upon getting witnesses tes-
timonyA before taking complaints was
owing to many of the cases fizzling
out, unless this precaution is taken be-
fore the complaints finally arrive before
the grand jury.
Mr.. Bianchi said the court was not
unfamiliar with the case, as it had been
previously before him. He said the
treatment of his client by her assail-
ants was an outrage and he intended to
have those who attacked her punished.
