CHAPTER XXI.
rhe whIrIlno Of the Wheel.

The WhIrIlng Of the Wheel.
AS old as church or cloister, the
massive wheel Of the Mount had. in
the past, played prominent part in the
affairs of succeeding communities on
the rock. It, or the hempen strand It
controlled. had primarily served as q
link between the sequestered jewellers.
and the fesh-pots and material COM
forts OF the lower world. Through its
use had my lord, the abbot, been ever
enabled to keep full the mighty wine
butts of his cellars; to provide good
cheer for the tables OF the brethren,
and to brighten his cold stone interiors
with the fresh green's OF Flemish tap
estry, or the sensuous hues Of rugs
and fabrics from seraglio or mosque.

claimed Its services, and even In re-
cent years, by direction Of his Excel.

some for men or mules.
Toward this simple monkish con-
trivance, the SUBMITS rough lift, or
elevator, wherein serfs or henchmen
had walked like squirrels in a cage to
bring solace to generations Of isolated
dwellers, the Black Seigneur had at
first stepped impetuously; then
stopped, hardly breathing, to look over
his shoulder at the door that had been
left unfastened. An involuntary ques.
ton flashing through his brain-the
cause of this seeming carelessness-
found almost immediate answer in his
mind. and the certainty that he stood
not there alone-a consciousness OF
some one else, near, became abruptly
confirmed.
What are you doing, soldier?" A
voice, rough. snarlilg, drew swiftly his
glance toward presence. intuitively

crease from year to year up to q Ger
tain point. In one valley in, California,
where beets have been grown since
1888, some Of the black adobe soils
gave the largest returns after ten
years OF continuous cropping without
fertilization. RS.
The depth OF the soil is one OF the
prime considerations in the growing
of sugar beets. as the beet is deep
rooted. Therefore, lands with q hard
pan formation within IS Inches Of the
surface should be avoided, not only
on account OF their interference with
root growth. but because Of their
tendency to lose moisture Low, wet
lands should be avoided also, no mat
ter Of what character, as they are
usually "cold" and prevent rapid de-
Of the chop in the early
stages OF plant life. while the later
growth is kept beyond the time when
the beets should mature, thus causing
low sugar percentages.
Alkau IL to be considered also. es-.
pecially - most soils throughout the
west contain alkali In greater u or
smaller quantities. Beets win with
stand the effects Of alkali to a greater
degree than any other summer crop,
but strongly impregnated soils retard
the proper development Of the plant
as well as lower the purity Of the
juice, rendering It unfit for manufac-
ture.
Taken altogether, the best soil for
this crop is clayey loan Of good
depth, which contains sufficient sand
or silt to allow it's being worked into
a finely divided condition. The under,
lying soil, stratum should be pervious
to water but not 80 coarse as to allow
Of rapid percolation. Such soils are
found in nearly all the present beet
growing districts and are usually the
producers Of large crops OF beets OF
good sugar percentage and high
purity. AS provided for in the con-
tract between the beet growers and
the sugar manufacturers, the seltc-
ton Of land suitable for this crop Is
subject to the approval Of the manu-.
facturers' field men or superintend.
ents. AS these men are usually ex-
perienced, their judgment should be
relied upon largely. n;
Climate naturally has an important
bearing on the desirability Of district
for beet culture, and in q general way
it may be stated that at least four or
Ave months Of growing weather are
necessary to the successful produc-
ton Of beets. The success which has
attended this industry throughout the
arid and semi-arid regions may be
attributed largely to thee distribution
OF the rainfall. The absence Of rain
at the time OF harvest is an important
feature. In the more humid sections
OF the east and middle west rain may
cause renewal Of growth after ma
turity, which results in a great reduc-
ton in the sugar content Of the beet.
The locations, therefore, where mois-
ture is applied artificially and can
thus be regulated to cause maturity at
certain stage 5 Is without doubt an
ideal field for the successful fostering
OF this industry.
