Struck Ice Berg.

Montreal, April 15-At eight
o'clock this morning the steamer Ii
tanic which last night struck an ice
berg about 900 miles east of New
York, was. still afloat, according to
wireless messages received here. The
vessel at that hour was slow crawl
ing toward Halifax in badly dis
abled condition. The Allen liner, Vir-
ginia, is hurrying to the rescue.
The Titanic was the largest vessel
afloat. She left South Hampton
April 10th for New York on her
maiden voyage. She is a White Star
ship of 46,32S tons. She has more
than 1900 passengers and crew of
500 aboard. Among the passengers
are: Major Butt, military aide to
President Taft; Mr.. and Mrs. John
Jacob Astor, Alfred Gwynne Wander
bilt, Benjamin Guggenheim, DR..
Washington Dodge, assessor of San
Francisco and his wife and son, Hen
ry B. Harris and wife. C. NJ. Hays.
president of the Grand Trunk rail-
way and Countess Rothes.
Wireless reports from the Titanic
said all women and children had been
placed in life boats and these were
ready to be lowered at a moments
notice.
The weather was reported calm and
fair and the Titanic's pumps were
working in good order. The forward
holds were full of water but the wa
ter tight compartments were hold
ing.
The prov of the Titanic was crum-
bled in a collision with an ice floe
but the water tight compartment
doors closed automatically. 1t is be-
lieved that all on board will be saved.
Immediately upon receipt of news
of the disaster the Allen liner, Vir-
ginia, started for the rescue. The
Virginia later reported she had lost
the Titanic after learning the women
and children We're in life boats,
ready to be lowered. 1t is believed
the wireless equipment on the Titan
ic was working badly.
Later, however, a message was re-
ceived here from the Titanic, saying
she was still afloat.

Studies Are Made.

Among the problems undertaken at
tins station are studies to discover the
causes of certain undesirable conditions
or diseases among heets and truck crop
plants; to learn the best methods of
beet culture for the western states !;
10 discover, the varieties Of beet seed

economical methods Of handling the
crop through the reduction of labor by
means of machinery, etc, might be de.
vised. Such studies are very necessary.
The individual farmer has neither the
time nor the funds 60 carry on much
work of this character, When this
knowledge is gained it is designed TO
make it available to the farmer BY
sending trained demonstrators among
them to give practical lessons in the
improved methods. 1t is believed that
comparatively few farmers read or
practice the instructions published and
distributed by various agencies.
During the past two weeks this sta
tion has carried on series of expert
ments to determine the loss in weight
of sugar beets after thev are dug,
ness for hauling to the factory or the
dump, The results are surprising.
Beets were dug. pulled and topped in
the manner usual in this locality, and
thrown into open piles according to
the ordinary practice, ready for load
ing into wagons. Instead Of being at
once loaded and hauled, however. these
piles were left for different periods of
time after first being carefully
weighed. At intervals the same piles
of beets were again weighed and the
loss through evaporation noted. 1t
was found that the loss during work.

mated per cent in the case of the
usual small piles. The loss during the
cool nights is comparatively Insight
ficant,
When the topped beets are covered
with beet leaves the loss is reduced
to about ! per cent in twenty-four
hours. Piles of boets averaging one
quarter ton each were found to lose
during period OF one week nj the
rate of 3 per cent a day, or about 20
per cent in one week. when left un~
covered. II should be noted that these
experiments were conducted during
worry still weather, had there been
much wind the loss would have been
greatly increased. Ii is therefore OBJ
vious that the farmer should keep his
wagon right aftcr the digging plow. and
lose no time in getting his bcets
weighed.

poorer soils of Europe have been so i'm

research and not demonstration. The
problems have been Of wider scope
and of more general application than

Utah Beets Healthy.

On the whole, the sugar beet in Utah
is singularly free from diseases and in
injurious insect pests. with the ex-
ccpton of the curly-top disease al
ready mentioned, Even this malady
is only seriously destructive at infre-
quent intervals and in comparatively
restricted areas. The causative agent
of this disease, the beet leaf hopper,
is generally distributed throughout the
beet growing districts of the inter
mountain region and California. and
may be found among beets IN small
numbers each season, but, apart from
their use for seed purposes, the beets
are practically unlnjurcd by them for
factory use.
1t should be realized. however. that
diseases may at any time be introduced
and established, and that one OF the
