Accuse Dead Man.
The colonel went on: They say I
couldn't be Influenced to serve the
Standard Oil. Stripped of the verbiage
the testimony of Penrose and Archbold
is not unlike some cases of public cor
ruption of the underworld of our great
cities.
They also allege that Mr.. Bliss, the
national campaign treasurer. tried to
blackmail them in my interest. Mr..

Mr. Archbold doesn't complain he
was blackmaiied into giving the Stand
ard Oil money by, as he says, promises
of immunity. No. he complains that he
didn't get the goods. We went ahead
with our prosecution against the Stand
ard Oil anyhow. Mr.. Archbold writes
his own condemnation.
Neither Mr.. Bliss nor any other hui

upon me in stopping any crooked cor
poration, big or little. Mr.. Bliss never
asked me to do any such thing, and
everybody knows any such request from
any source would have been futile"
The colonel wondered why the Sena,,

to go away to Europe without finishing
his confession
"Mr. Penrose has admitted his crook.

the Senate" he said. "Archbold ought
to be made to tell more of the corrup-

Date of Prosecution.
Roosevelt called to James r. Garfield
his former Secretary Of Interior, who
sat on the platform, to bear witness
that the Governments prosecution OF
the Standard Oil had started eighteen
, months before the question of the

Isn't that so, Garfield?" he said.

1t will be up to this Government to
decide whether it will permit the con-
troversy with Great Britain over Pan

Hague.
Under existing law. such action can
not be taken by the President without
the consent of the Senate.
The British formal protest, which was
filed with the State Department yester-
through the British charge, Mitchell
Innes. says a more extended statement
of the matter will be made later.
1t 10 already clear that there will be

Prince George County Lead

Win Over Taft.

HYATTsvILLE Md, Aug. 2s-The
first gun of the Progressive party in
Prince George county will be fired to-
night when a large rally will be held at
Seat Pleasant. near the District line.
II the expectations Of the Progressive
party men bear fruit Colonel Roosevelt
will poll an overwhelming vote In this
county next November.
Last spring in the primaries he de-
feated President Taft by a large ma
jority, and In this election district,
where most of the voters are Govern
ment clerks. and where II was expected
Taft would get the greater part of his
strength, the President was defeated
by an almost two-to-one vote.
A great many of the Republican lead
ers In the county are out for the Pro-
gressive party heart and soul, and are
doing everything in their power for the
success Of the Roosevelt and johnson
ticket.
william r. smallwood, member of the
last house of delegates Of the Maryland
Legislature, announced himself as a
candidate for Congress on the Progress
sive ticket, but has in the past, few
days withdrawn.

OF experience in growing beets farmers
can not only closely regulate the amount
Of seed'per acre but every detail in con-
nection with the growing. from the first
furrow till the crop is delivered at the
factory. DR.. Wiley said, several years
ago, that a model acre should contain
10000 sugar beets weighing one pound
each.
Start the cu,tiyator as soon as the rows
show. across the field-sooner than that
should the weeds show in advance of the
beets. The best time to kill weeds is
before they have fairly started; the work
can be done at this stage Of growth for
the least expense, and also keeps the
soil loose and fine to hasten the growth
Of the crop early in the season.
During the growing season beets should
be cultivated once in seven to ten days
leaving the soil practically level with the
last cultivation. When the leaves cover
the ground cultivation should stop. When
the beets show the fourth leaf they
should be thinned to one plant in place
and about eight inches apart in the row;
selecting, so far as possible, the best
plant. The rows should be as close to-
gether as will permit horse cultivation;
some of the experts say that the rows
should be eighteen inches apart.
Some farmers may doubt the necessity
of thinning to one plant in place. Don't
make any mistake at the outset; the su-
gar beet is trife particular on some
points, and the manufacturers are some
times more exacting than the beet. Right
here has been one of the main collision
points between manufacturers and far
mers-sugar content of the beet and the
method Of paying tor same.
1t is important not only that sugar
beet should be of a proper size and
shape. but also that it bo grown in such
manner as to secure the protection oil
the soil for all its parts except the neck
and foliage. The proper position for q
beet to occupy in the soil at the end oi
growth is one which necessitates careful
management. This position can only b'
secured for the beet-by growing it in l
soil sufficiently pervious to permit Of thu
penetration Of the tap root to a grea

| MODEL
| SUGAR
| BEETS

As general rule, any soil that will
produce good crop of wheat, oats or
potatoes will produce good sugar beets.
A heavy clay soil is one of the most un-
satisfactory for the culture of beets.
1t will pay well in growing beets-any
farm crop in fact-to have the soil al
seeding time well pulverized; in such a
soil the seed terminates more evenly and
the young plants are pushed more rap
idly to maturity. Taking It for granted
that the land was plowed in the fall OF
winter. seed BED from l a to l6 inches
in depth should be prepared. The soil
should be well loosened. as this permits
the beet to grow down without obstruo-
ton for thirteen inches or more; when
the beet at seven to nine inches finds a
compact soil the tendency is to fork and
grow large side roots; the latter will
carry sand into the slIcer, and the rough
beet has less percent of sugar thar
one of symmetrical shape.
The model beet called for by experts
is usually described as symmetrical
about thirteen inches in length. practical
ly free from side roots and weighing
from one to two pounds. An eastern
dealer said. with reference to the size ot
beets: 1--WE would not refuse a three
pound beet, but two-pounds is the bes'
paying size for the farmer to raise; thi:
weight osn be obtained by proper cult
vation."
In all cases be sure to use seed enough
This varies greatly by different authori-
ties, some giving fifteen pounds per acre
as the right quantity. others twelve
pounds, and still others claim that eigh
pounds per acre of good seed is sufficient

depth. 1t is for this reason that sub
soiling in the preparation of the field for
the growth of sugar beets is of such
great Importance. If the beet in its
growth, should meet practically imper-
yious soil at the depthso of eight or ten
inches, the tap root will be DETECTED
from its natural course. lateral roots will
develop, the beet will become disfigured
and distorted in shape. and the upper
portion Of it will be pushed out of the
ground. Experience has shown that the
content Of sugar in those portions Of a
beet which are pushed above the soil is
very greatly diminished.
