BEET TOPPER
IS WORKED IN
FROSTY GROUND
Test Made Near Windsor Indicate
That Machine Will BE Made
to do Heavy Work

Windsor. Dec. 6.-That VIM
sor's beet topper and pulled will
work in frost five inches deep was
proved one day recently when the
machine was subjected to another
test In the beet field of Tom Wales,
south of here.
The machine harvested four long
rows of beets from the frozen
ground. turning them out prettily.
The strain. however. was great and
the frost was too deep to permit OF
efficient work by the topper.
One man in the crowd declared
that he believed a certain make OF
beet puller would pull beets in the
frozen ground. also. but that it
would not do quite - good work
At this suggestion the machine in
question was hitched onto and
trial made. It did not travel more
than 100 feet before 1t was put out
OF commission with its framework
and points being badly twisted out
OF shape.
The puller and topper was again
put into operation and two more
rows of beets harvested The points
had spread somewhat before the
test was finished. This was noted
by the stockholders and before be
ing manufactured for use these
points will be strengthened

TOO MUCH
WATER IS
WASTING
IRRIGATION CONFERENCE AT
FORT COLLINS DISCUSSES ME-
THODS IN VOGUE MEETING
is OF INTEREST

Fort Collins. Dec. 6.-That Colo
RADIO irrigation water should be
made to cover more ground was the
most interesting point brought out
at the conference OF irrigation ex-
perts and managers of irrigation
systems in its session at the Agricul-
tural college here.
Professor v. NJ. Cone, irrigation
expert of the Colorado experiment
station, in a lecture on THE Duty of
Water" said that while In Colorado
rs inches are allowed for each acre
annually, nine inches rould be made
to produce as good II not better
crops.
That a considerable percentage
of irrigation water again comes to
the surface and that much water ID
wasted by excess irrigation were the
chief features of a paper by Paul
Roth. of the United States recla-
nation service.
''The Legal Status of Seepage
and Waste Water" was discussed
by A. r. Honnold. legal examiner of
the United States reclamation SER
vice. He said that the statutes OF
Colorado provide that seepage water
must be appropriated the same a.
water from running stream ex-
cept that the party on whose land II
first returns to the surface has a
priority right.

SYSTEM
MACvEAGH DECLARES GOVERN
! MGNY rs AND WILL BE RE
sPONSIBLE FOR PANICS UN-
LESS BETTERED

Strongly urging radical reform Of
the "unreasoned and unscientific"
banking and currency system OF the
United tSates. Franklin Macveagh.
secretary of the treasury. freely
warns congress in his annual re-
port that the federal government
so long as the present scheme exists.
will be exclusively responsible for
the commercial. industrial and
social disasters which flow from
panics and attack. directly or indi-
rectly. every home in the nation.
The present system promotes and
develops panics and legislation Is
urgent, declares Mr.. MacVeagh.
Aside from affording flexible and
elastic currency and reserves. such
a revision, he says. should bring the
banks into organized cooperation
and provide for a central agency
through which they could work to-
gether. free of political or trust
control.
According to the estimates Of
the treasury department, the aecre-
tary foresees a deficit OF $22.556,-
O23, exclusive OF Panama canal ex-
penditures, for the fiscal year end
ling June 80. 1914. the first fiscal
year of President Wilson's admins
tration. Including the canal ex-
penses, the deficit II estimated at
352,730.455. The canal expendi-
lures. he adds, however. may be
paid under the law from bond sales
The estimated receipts for that year
are $71O.0OO.O0O. while the ordi-
nary appropriations are estimated
at 32,556.O23, and the canal ex-
penditures at $30.174,532.
For the current fiscal year. end
ing June 30, 1918, Mr.. Mac Veagh
estimates that there Will be a sur
plus Of $4O.2OO.00O. exclusive Of
Panama canal expenditures. and a
deficit Of. $1.8OO,00O, including the
canal transactions. He estimates
receipts for this year at $711.OOO.-
900. and ordinary disbursements at
10000, 900.
In connection with financial re-
form, Mr.. MacVeagh says the peo-
pie are helpless. under existing
evils. The present system never
