FUSSING WITH THE
BEET CROP
GEORGE A. SMITH,

The beet growers of the Arkansas
valley figure that actual cost of rails
ing the crop is $40 the acre which is
the figure / set fifteen years ago. A
crop OF fourteen tons at the $3.50 rate
makes a profit above all expenses of
S37. so which, with the additional pulp
and top values of about SIS brings the
total profits up to better than 100 per
cent on the labor of raising the crop.
When | say that the cost of raising
beets is $40 | include every tap OF
work from the cost of deep plowing
until the last beet goes over the dump
into the car. l figure that mans
time is worth twenty-five cents an
hour and that of his team the same.
l include all the cost of thinning,
wedding and topping. which is usual
ly done by foreign labor at a fixed
rate.
The most essential thing in a beet
crop is the stand. The small beet is
weakly plant, not really hurt by
frost but easily destroyed by crust or
other unfavorable soil conditions. The
seed must be put in not more than
two inches nor less than one half inch
deep. and in moist ground. To insure
| this the soil must be uniformly and
closely packed with a good mulch of
dust to hold the moisture until the
plants can start. On sandy soil this
is an expensive proposition, entailing
narrowing, dragging and rolling for
several days. Fall piowing with spring
discing is the quickest method and
will settle loamy soil much more cas-
lily than it does the sand, thus cutting
down the cost.
The most common reason for a poor
stand is lack of moisture due to loose
ground or drouth. If 1t is necessary
to irrigate the seed UP crust is form
ed, the beets are choked and a poor
stand results. One man with four
row cultivator can attend to all the
cultivating and irrigating on thirty
acres. If he plows in the fall and set
ties in the spring. he can be ready to
plant May /. which is plenty early.
As to irrigation, we find that beets re-
quire less water than hay. Ordinarily
three light irrigations will produce the
crop where the rainfall is less than
ten inches and added rainfall makes it
less. The only work then left is the
pulling and the hauling. The former
is small item as Al team can handle
a puller as easily as twelve inch plow
and two hours work in the morning
will keep a dozen men busy all day
To make time in hauling at the aver
age distance of two miles the farmer
will want a four ton bed and a good
team of fours. Thirty acres of beets
will supply work all winter and give
the advantage of greater wage produc-
ton. The thinning, wedding and top
ping is separate part of the bust
ness Ordinarily this is done by Mex
leans or Japs although a man with a
large family of children can as well as

BITTER LETTERS
Will be sold
At AUCTION

NEW YORK-What are known as
Mrs. .Lincoln's bitter letters are to
be sold at auction here. The collec-
ton consists of twelve letters written
by the widow Of the martyred presi-
dent in the years just following his
assassination. In some of them Mrs.
Lincoln was almost historical in up
braiding congress for not providing
for her and in her denunciation OF
General Grant.
One letter, written in August, 1865,
asks a friend to try to sell the black
lace gown which Mrs. Lincoln wore at
the second. Inauguration for two
hours only" In order to raise money
for the support of herself and her two
boys. The gown was one presented to
her by a friend of her husband and it
cost $500.
In another letter, dated December
80, 1866, Mrs. Lincoln writes bitterly
of the fortunes of the Grant family
as compared with her own, and de-
clares that General Grants services
to his country were certainly not SUI
perior to my husbands"

last night, after the matter had been

of the Oahu League management in
refusing to disrupt its schedule, was in
the best interests of local baseball,
there can be no question as to the
action of the players who would throw
over their clubs to play outside games.
If league games in which their clubs
appear are scheduled, and these play
ers absent themselves to play in an
outside game, they will be violating
their agreement with their clubs. and
the league, through them, will be
breaking faith with the public.
The first half of the league series
ends July 6, and those interested in
the Stanford game CLAIM; that it would
be no inconvenience to the league, and
that it would not lose any money Dy
making a three-week interval between
halves. On the other hand, there is a
postponed game to be played off, and
the, howl of the fans last year was for
quicker action, and less interference
with the regular schedule. The Oahu
League is certainly having its troubles

HULAHULA :
IS REMOVED
FROM BOARDS

Hulahula Americana gave place last
night at Ye Liberty theater for a
flag dance. Art put on her stockings,
so to speak, and the little chorus
maidens who had wept because James
Post, the veteran comedian, insisted
upon them presenting the Hawaiian
dance with nude limbs. smiled once
more with something of their former
glee.
No more will they be asked to exc
cute the hulahula. The pretty little
strikers, who rose up to denounce The
dance as too immodest for them and
indecent, have won, and hereafter,
during the remaining few days of the
Post engagement, they will be called
upon to present only the quite proper
dances.
The strikers agreed to remain with
the company, and Post has agreed to
remain with the strikers, and the
hula is not going to be hulaed any
more at all.
