BEET GROWING HELPS
GENERAL AGRICULTURE

Mr.. Palmer, who is closely ider-
titled with the development of the
beet industry in this country, af-
firms that it is entirely on account
of the sugar beet rotating policy
that European farming has at
tanned so much.
There is no longer any ques-
ton that the beet sugar industry
is the parent of modern scientific
agriculture" is the summing up
of this investigator. Let us
show how beet culture works out
in its effect on other crops. In
the first place, you have to plow
deep. When the beet is plowed
| up you break off ever so many
tiny fibers which have run down
into the earth in all directions.
They enrich the soil. and also give
the air a chance to get down.
Thus your next ordinary crop, in
stead of having only five or six
inches of soil to draw from for
nutriment has double that thick
ness.
1t is not generally known that
by experimentation the produc
tive quality of the sugar beet
has been run up from 3 to 4 per
cent to Is and IS per cent, and
the size increased from a tiny
root of a few ounces to two
pounds. Today we are getting
more granulated sugar from a
beet than the original sugar beet
weighed. The sugar in beet
by the way, all comes from the
atmosphere. In Germany they
keep the pedigrees of famous
beets, just as we do here of horseS
and cows. AT Kleine Wanzleben,
near Madgeburg, they can show
you photograph and give you
the history of every mother beet
they have raised over there in
the last % years
Germany last year produced
over 100000 tens of beet sugar.
Much of the success abroad has
been due to the cooperative syIs-
TEN, which is not practiced in "A
single instance in the United
States. The German farmer sup
plies his beet to the mill at a low
cost and takes his profit out of
the money the factory makes witt
in the year. To-day England is
the only country in Europe that
does not produce its own sugar
The export from Germany last
year amounted to $50,000,00O OF
this product, after the people
had kept enough for their own
use.-Christian Science Moritor

Washington, ia C.-That there
was clearly defined plot in the de-

because of his unceasing fight against
the food adulterators, was shown in
the testimony of DR.. Harvey w. Wiley
before the house committee. He
showed that at every turn obstacles
to the enforcement of the pure food
laws were placed in his path, that
his decisions were almost always over
ruled and that his appeals always
were decided against him.
DR.. Wiley declared the result OF
these overrulings was to "squander
and waste all the money spent in
preparation of the cases by the chem
istry bureau. He said that so far as
he knew all appeals to Secretary Will
son had resulted in a decision sus'

CENTRAL ROAD Is SELECTED
Mssouri's Official State Road WIN
Follow Santa Fe Trail-Wili
Cross River at Glasgow.

Jefferson City, Missouri.-The trail
blazed by pioneers, the Boone's LicA
road and Santa Fe trail, is to be the
official cross-state highway OF Mis-
souri,.
The central route, which follows
these historic trails closely across the
state, was chosen by the state boare
of agriculture.
The hardest fight Of the day came
after the central route had beer
chosen to decide where it shoule
cross the Missouri river. There is ne
wagon bridge at either Glasgow OF
Boonville.
Both towns promised steam ferry
service, with a promise of active steps
toward obtaining a bridge. The boarc
finally put Glasgow on the Official
highway instead Of Boonville, but re
served the right to switch to Boon
Vile should Glasgow fall down on Its
service across the river.

SHOES FOR LONG TRAMPS
Highly important Part of Equipment
When Girl Contemplate
"Roughlng It."

Girls who have had little experience
in outdoor life often do some foolish
things when they begin to try this
form of enjoyment. One way in which
many Of them interfere with their own
comfort is by going on tramp with
the wrong kind of shoes.
A girl who has played tennis and
found the soft, rubber soled shoes
comfortable will think that they will
surely help her to enjoy a tramp; but
they are the last thing to wear for
long walk, as these girls have found
to their cost. They come home with
their feet aching and the calves Of the
legs tired out from the lack Of the
spring that Is given by heels. Walk
ing with q fiat, heelless shoes on a
rough road is extremely trying, and
one can feel every stone through the
soft rubber soles; and these tired feet
and legs will feel even worse the next
day.
Quite as bad as the tennis shoes are
low shoes with thin soles and high
heels. These tire the feet and may
sprain the ankles. The only shoes
that are really satisfactory for rough
ing 1t" are strong high shoes with
thick soles. The strongest ankles need
support in rough walking, and 1t is
often wet in the woods. The girl who
has once tried the two ways of tramp
ing will never again be persuaded to
wear low or thin shoes.

STATEHOOD VETOED BY TAFT
President Thinks Recall of Judges
Bad Government-May Pass
over Veto.

Washington, d. C.-President Taft
in a special message to the house OF
representatives, vetoed the joint reso
luton providing for admission of New
Mexico and Arizona to statehood. His
reason for exercising the executive
power of veto was based on his thor
ough disapproval of the recall oil
judges clause in the Arizona consti
tuition.
The fact that New Mexico's state
hood was bound up with that Of Arr
iona melted out to her the same fate
and neither territory can come into
the Union at this time unless friends
of the joint constitution in congress
can muster the two-thirds vote neces'
sary to pass the resolution over the
presidents veto. This may be at
tempted.

It became known after the meeting
that the president not only would

the cotton bill with the proposed
amendment revising the iron and steel
schedule, and the farmers free list
bill would suffer the same fate. 1t
was indicated that any tariff revision
bill at this session would be vetoed.

BAG FOR DRESSES OR HATS
Makes for Comfort In Travelling, ana
Also Preserves the Articles
Enclosed.

A scheme which a girl will find
great comfort in any place where she
has insufficient closet space is a bag
to hold her hat or her dress. In travel
ing 1t Is we'll to take one or more OF
these bags, and in a camp they are al
most indispensable. A girl can very
quickly make all she wants OF them,
and If she wants to economize space
they can be made of silkoline, which
folds up into the smallest kind OF
package, is light in weight and very In
expensive.
For a hat, make a bag three-quar-
tiers of yard deep and half yard
wide, with drawing string at the top.
The bag is hung up by this string and
the hat is kept free from dust and out
Of the way. This measurement is for
a hat of ordinary size; IL your hat is
an unusually large one the bag must
be larger.
For dress the bag should be about
five inches longer than the dress It,
self, the width being little more than
enough to slide the dress in easily.
When camping It is best to put ones
travelling dress and hat into these
bags and leave them there. for they
are seldom wanted until one Is ready
to leave In making the bags for camp
Ing there are some advantages in u.s.
Ing cretonne instead Of silkoline. Be-
Ing so much thicker, 1t keeps out the
dampness better, and 1t is often damp
enough In tent to have a rather dis
astrous effect on hat.

Suit Coats.

Suit jackets for autumn and winter
will remain close fitting about the
hips and hold to the straight line
form. At present there is no arbi-
trary decree regarding the length.
Models considerably shorter than the
26-inch length. and somewhat longer
also, are among the new models. But
the length mentioned is a happy me-
dunn. The feeling is that with the ap-
proach of winter the tendency will be
to lengthen the jacket, with perhaps
revision to the short effects again IN
the spring.

Lon ON, England.-The veto bill,
limiting the powers of the upper
