ALOYSIUS HARD TO STOP.
National Guard Quint Puts Up Good
Game, But Without Avail.

The strong Aloysius Basket Ball Club |
defeated the National Guard quint by |
score of ~ to 20 in the latter's gym
Dasium last night. This was the second
time this year the two teams have met
in league game and the club men have
both in their won column. The game was
the best played of any in the Wash
ington Basket Ball League games. and
the fact that the club men had won one
game In their gymnasium made the
Guards fight that much harder to get on
even terms with them. This was of little
use, as the experience and generalship Of
their opponents was too much for them.
The two Aloysius forwards were all over
the floor and were hard to STOP. Jack
Croghan was again the feature performer
of the evening, getting five baskets from
the floor and one free toss. making a

OUTLOOK In THE
HUDSON VALLEY
Bright Prospect for Industrial
Revival if Economic Condi-
tons Change.

The economic conditions existing before
the Civil War made the Hudson River
Valley an advantageous location for iron
works Of all kinds. says The Real Estate
Record and Guide" There were blast
furnaces at Cold Spring. Poughkeepsie,
Greenwood, Rondout Hudson, Albany and
Troy. iron mines IN the mountains and
large foundries at Peekskill, Newburgh'
FishkiI and other places. Only few OF
these old works have survived.
Under a new economic dispensadon We
might hope TO see most OF the old works
rebuilt and revived" 4; further says The
authorities OF the United States Geo
graphical Survey have IN recent years
pointed out the incompatible advantages
which the Hudson River counties have
for engaging IN foreign trade. Indications
are strong that the port Of New YORK
and the Hudson River Valley will see
an industrial revival in the next decade
based in a large degree on the export
trade that is coming from South America
and the Pacific Coast OF our own land
through the Panama Canal and on the
new domestic trade that will come
through the New York State Barge
Canal"

the independence Of this country from

momentous days centred about the spot

In evolutionary days there was an in
vaslon OF the "redcoats,' which pre-
occupied those who happened 70 be in

This becomes because OF the impending

Joining the grounds Of New York Unlver-
sity. the sale OF which by auction on
Tuesday next. in the vesey street sales
room, gives residents concern because OF
the uncertainty OF what may follow the
assimilation OF the lots and what their
prospective owners may do with them.
The lots, some l34 in number, are those
comprising the estate OF Ellen NJ. Hen
nessey, whose heirs have been at odds for
several years some wanting TO sell be-
cause the land produced no income, while
others desired to hold II from sentiment,
for its historical associations and for its
inevitable increase in value, as the city
IS growing fast in that direction under
the influence OF new transit lines.
Those heirs with the materialistic ten
dency and needing money desired that the
land be sold Notwithstanding the poor
condition Of the market, so that they
might get their patrimony in cash After
considerable persuasion. the recalcitrant
heirs were reluctantly induced to consent
TO a public sale. Thus the Supreme
Court upon petition of the executors
ordered a public dispersal Of the lots,

cause II IS known that the operators have

The ragged condition OF the demand for

assures this possibility. and the Mexican

probability Of bargains. With the coun-
try at war real estate will not receive the

At the hearing before Stat. Engineer
Bensel and Borough President Connolly
last week in Long Island City regarding
the selection Of barge canal terminals on

Bay and Flushing Creek. recommended by
the Chamber Of Commerce OF the Borough
Of Queens, a convincing argument was
presented by Walter l. Willis secretary
Of the chamber. who has made a study OF
this question. and has compiled data
showing that the manufacturers and busi-
ness men OF every section OF the borough
will receive and ship a vast amount OF
freight each year over the barge canal
IL terminals are located as recommended.
In the arguments presented by Mr..
Willis facts showing. the industrial growth
Of Queens and a comparison OF its rank
with other cities in the state made II
evident that Queens would be much neg
lected II terminals were not located there.
The following shows the increase In value

II was also pointed out that the value
Of manufactured products in Queens Bor-
ough for the year 1909, the last Official
census taken by the Department OF Com
nerce and Labor Of the United States
was as great as the combined products OF

Beet pulp as Cattle Food.

In summarizing the important fea-
lures Of sugar beet growing In various
parts Of the country the Department
OF Agriculture calls attention TO its
peculiar Importance TO the middle
western states because Of the extent
TO which stock feeding Is followed as
an industry in this territory. Beet
pulp-that is, what remains OF the
beet after the sugar has been extract
ed-has been proved TO be the finest
feed yet discovered for milk cows
and for fattening cattle. sheep and
other farm animals. This is true
whether the pulp is fed in its wet
state as It comes from the factory or
after being dried. A business OF about
100000 year has grown up In the

PLANT THAT IMPROVES SOIL
The Sugar Beet Increases Yield of
Other Crops.

How sugar beetS improve the fertfl-
ity of the soil and increase the yield Of
all crops grown in rotation with them
is explained in the National Magazine
by Truman G.. Palmer, who has spent
the past ten years in studying agricul-
tural methods in Europe and America.
1.-The sugar beet being a deep rooter,"
says Mr. Palmer, "a prerequisite to its
culture is that the soil be stirred to a
depth of ten to fourteen inches. The
tender beetlet having to undergo the
shock of thinning soon after it comes
up in order to leave but one beet to a
place, it demands a we'll prepared, mel
low seed bed. Gathering the sugar. in
It's leaves from the atmosphere by the
aid Of the light and storing it up in the
roots, IT will not thrive if the light is
cut off through being shaded by weeds,
and their eradication means not only a
further stirring Of the soil by cultiva-
ton and hoeing, but they are removed
before going to seed, thus leaving
NEEDLESS fields for succeeding crops.
Being plowed out in autumn gives an
extra fall blowing. which leaves the
land in condition to absorb instead Of
shed the fall and winter rains and store
up the moisture for the following sea-
sons crop. With the removal Of the
main root myriads of fibrous roots are
broken off and left in the soil to an
average of a ton to the acre, and in
rotting they not only deposit humus In
the lower strata of soil, but leave mi
mute channels through which it be-
comes aerated and hence fertile. The
roots of subsequent crops follow these
interstices and draw nutriment from
two and three times the depth of soil
formerly reached, and hence the farm
ers double and treble their soil output
without increasing their acreage"
