member OF the Senior Class who
wished to discuss with me his plans

He was undecided as TO which he

As soon as I had promised the de-
sired article for The American. I re-
turned to the conference. A telephone
call, an automobile honk, and a news
paper man are the three interruptions
which all Of us are prompt to an

fact that he made his entrance ex-

evidence that he is Of strong mind
and apt to learn.
After his four months at Young
Harris he taught school and gathered
up about five hundred dollars. This,
with his earnings as salesman Of
aluminium ware during his vacations,
has taken him through the Univer-
sity. and he graduates with sufficient
funds ahead to furnish his house. He
will need this furniture at an early

The accident that I was talking to

Of this article.
The Value of College.
There seems 10 be confusion in the
minds Of many people about the col
ieges Of our country. In my opinion

Some people seem to think that
buildings and parks are the things to
be desired They estimate the value
OF a college by the magnificence Of
its structures. This is a part Of the
truth but not the main truth. Fine
buildings and grounds ore worth
while as tending TO cultivate the taste
and secure the comfort OF students
This is the limit % their usefulness.
There are others who seem to think
that certain forms Of culture and
methods OF procedure constitute coll
legiatc training, and they set more
value on an outline Of study than on
the student. The object OF the coll
lege according to these men is %
maintain standards and promote
learning. There is some truth In this
but this Is not the main truth.
Standards and learning are valuable
in so far as they promote growth and
fix tests for the development OF the
student. These things are valuable
as means Of culture and discipline
rather than abstractly valuable In
college.

In contrast with any other crop
the beet does not take from the soil
single one of the fertilizing ele-
ments.
Beet culture necessitates crop ro-
tation and changes the entire system
of agriculture, it is convincing the
farmers of all countries of its desir-
ability and land which formerly
rented for from SO to SIS per acre,
is in proven beet country now rent
ing for $40 per acre, and further
more the value of the land itself has
been doubled since the introduction
of beets. AS matter of fact the re-
suits are of such magnitude that 1t
is impossible to express them In
figures, especially when we consider
that wherever beet culture has been
introduced it has doubled the popu-
lation, and every thinking man will
understand that three times as much
land titled at the present time.
Beet tops are an important addi-
ton to the list of stock foods, not
only for the stock man who buys,
but also for the. farmer who sells
them. The farmer who sells his

ceives, say SO to 81 per acre will be
Just that much to the good, as the
stock will return from 80 to S5 per

means be fed in the field where they
we're grown and It is advisable that
each farmer put as much stock in
the field as can be fattened by the
tops and any other stock food that
he may have on the farm. Beet
tops for milch cows have no equal,

every bit of the manure should be
returned to the soil.
Beet tops can be fed fresh, dried
The Monte Vista journal., 1913-03-29

The gain on beet tops depends on
the age, condition and kind of stock.
1t further depends on the location OF
the field as regards noise and dis
turbances. Plenty of fresh drinking
water is also essential. An actual
experiment with ranch steers and
Mexican cows gave after being on
pounds for the steers and 11S
pounds for the cows. They sold for
. a and u cents on the hoof with
no deduction for shrinkage. The
original cost was 4 "a and 3A cents
respectively. The net profit was the
value of the fat stock over the thin.
one cent pound and the value of
the increase in weight. When sold
the steers averaged 1888 pounds
and the COWS S32 pounds, making
a profit of s21.7S for the steers and
S13 SO for the COWS The stock re-
ceived nothing but beet tops and

BEET SUGAR COMMITTEE
MAKES URGENT APPEAL

An urgent letter is being mailed
to every farmer in the country be-
tween Monte Vista and Center in
regard to the building of the rail
road to Center and the retaining of
the Sugar Factory at Monte Vista
The committee of business men
and farmers that have had this
work in charge have found it very
difficult to induce the farmers to
put in limited acreage of beets for
the season of 1913, and as it would
not benefit the Sugar Company o
build a railroad unless they can, by
so doing, obtain enough beets to
justify the investment, they do not
feel from the support they have re-
ceived that the people in the country
benefited care to cooperate with
them. However, the committee
are taking this method of advising
all those interested that the Sugar
Company and several of the
business men and farmers have
made an h onest effort to keep the
factory at Monte Vista and secure
the construction of the railroad. 1t

through the soil in the passage of
the water. This being true of
earthly salts, holds also in case of
all fetid matter, such as animal
and human excretions, house
waste and cesspool deposits, with
which the water comes in contact.
Should the water plane rise to near
the surface of the ground, it is
only question of time when the
soil will be thoroughly impregnat-
ed with concentrated extract Of
filth, and the people of any town
where such condition exists are
actually inviting some deadly cpl
demic to visit and abide with
them.
Many of you have heard the
theory advanced that "we people
have need never be afraid of being
injured by the depositing of waste
matter in the ground because we
have body of water under us that
carries off all the matter that is
dangerous to health and life. "
This might be true Ito an extenD,
if we were living in boats on an
open, flowing channel, but as a
fact, under present conditions the
reverse is true, as the water in its
very slow motion through the soil
gathers to itself all the filth with
which it comes in contact, and re-
distributes it so that the innocent,

Other yields will withdraw plant
foods in proportion of these amounts
as they are greater or less than 36
tons in weight. These tables show
several things, prominent among
which is the small amount of plant
foods actually removed from the soil
in the part sold to the factory. The
leaves and crowns contain 76.5 per
cent of the total substance taken up
by the plant in feeding: the largest
proportion of the remaining 23.5 per

LOYAL ALASKANS
 SHOULD ORGANIZE
n-n


 A reasonably close observation at this time brings out the unmistaka- ble evidence that the chronic knocker is steadily losing ground in Alaska. Only a few years since the wise @ old knocker had the conclusion pretty we'll confirmed that Alaska as an agri- cultural country was an absolute fail ure. The only evidence this individ- ual really had to substantiate his con tentions was the fact that he had made a failure himself in his attempts to raise agricultural products. From all over the Territory, south of Yukon, comes the unmistakable evidence that Alaska will not only be an agricultural country but a good one. That we can not produce all of the varieties sue cessfully is evidently true, and this Is true of other countries, but that we can raise hay, grain, vegetables and many varities of fruit can no longer be disputed. A faithful ally of the knocker in the past has been the gross ly ignorant Alaska law maker located in the Far East This individual was wise in his own conceit, and coveted the approval of his local voting constit- uants only. He was a short ranged gun, unsuited to big game. He could see the necessity, in times of peace, of building mamomth war vessels, cost ing millions, but he would not survey Alaska or blaze a trail, nor would he allow others to do so.
 Now let us see what can be done. Alaska is our home and our hope. Are we unitedly loyal? Have We in the past pulled together in the interest of this grand old empire of undeveloped wealth we call home, or have We pinned our faith to a measily twO-bit piece that looked like easy money? Have we accepted the bribe that ap- peals to the traitor of the land in which we live?
 Let us organize a party or society of Loyal Alaskans, who will subscribe to nothing detrimental to Alaska. There are thousands who are justly qualified for membership in such so- ciety but necessity demands a closer  alliance - Ketchikan Mail.
