her hands, and yet she did not appear
| to take any trouble She was very
good to Alice, telling her what she
did this for, and why she did that,
and why she didn't let the other thing
come to boil Indeed. Alice learned
more in watching the preparation of
that one Thanksgiving dinner than she
! had learned about cooking up to that
| time.
Since Miss Chefton had saved them
the trouble of cooking their dinner
| they kept no 'servant-besides giving
them delicious one. and since she was
equally refined with themselves there
was nothing TO do but ask her TO sit
down to the table with them and par
take of the meal. She accepted the
invitation. but asked for a room in
which she might change her cooking
uniform for ordinary apparel. This
was accorded her. and, taking 4 suit
case she had brought with her, she
went upstairs.

HOW TO GET THE MOST
OUT OF BEET RAISING

Beets are heavy feeders and
therefore draw heavily on the fer
tility of the soil. The clean and in
tense cultivation which they require
rapidly eXhausts the organic matter.
Every twenty tons of beets takes
cut 100 pounds of nitrogen, eight
teen pounds of PHOSPHORUS and 10
pounds of potassium from the soil.
For these reasons beets should new
err be grown Gu the same land more
than two years in succession with
out very heavy fertilization. Long
cropping with beets without rota-
ton tends to make the soil sticky
and intractable, thus reducing the
,leld through poor physical cGndi-
ton.
However when the sell is in very
coor physical condition at the out
set, beets will not reach their max
imum yield until the deep plowing
and intensive cultivation of the soil
las brought it into such physical
ondition as will permit the beets
o readily take up the natural fer
tility. In the Parajo valley N Cali
fornia for instance, where beets have
been grown since 1888 some of the
black adobe soils gave the largest
returns after ten years of contln-
uous cropping without fertilization.
In order to keep up both physical
condition and fertility 1t is neces-
sary to make a change in crops. A
good rotation and one recommended
in most of the Colorado beet dis
tricts, is alfalfa four years. wheat
one year, beets two years, wheat one
year, oats one year, seeding alfaifa
in rotation. Under intensive cul-
tivation alfalfa should occupy the
land four years in succession in the
rotation. 1t takes alfalfa three
years to reach its normal develop
ment when the conditions are all
favorable and four years are none
too many to bring the soil in condi-
tion to stand the heavy drain of two
years in sugar 'beets.
While the effect on the soil OF
growing sugar beets is disastrous 10
it's fertility, the physical effect pro-
luced by deep blowing, the inten-
sive cultivation and the deep root
ing of the beets Is IN every way
beneficial to the other crops in the
rotation. 1t is to this physical con
dition that we must give our atten-
ton If we wish to get the most out
of beet raising. The beets them
selves will not always pay for the
cost of production. The 10000
acres of beets IN Colorado producer
an average of only little over nine
tons an acre in 1903. The average
price paid that year was 1878 a
ton, less than $50 gross returns an
acre and this does not pay very
