lived with them. She told her friends
her daughter-in-law was charming to
be sure, but little temperamental,

The younger Mrs. Hackett told her
friends it was without doubt true, the
Chinese proverb, that no roof was

A wife's place was by her huS-

Mrs. Hackett took rooms directly
across the street from the playhouse

been named the Hackett Theatre.
Every night the gaunt figure, dressed
in black, wearing It's widows bonnet,

was a breach, small, but perceptfble,
between the younger Hacketts,
Miss Mannering had become a star
on her own account, and was touring
In separate company. He had

Shortly afterward Mr.. Hackett mar

"Poor Minnie! There were days
when she had lucid intervals and saw
things not as they were in her his

In those flashes of sanity her suffer-

keep him out OF that money. He Will

The thought would send her shrek
ing into one of her most dreadful
fits of insanity, The last OF these
lucid intervals occurred two weeks
before her death. She screamed:
Il hate him! hate him, and I
can do nothing
The epitapb Of her hate was the

GROWING SUGAR BEETS
Practically All Kinds Of Soil Are
Adapted to Plant.
Clay ard ciay-loams Require Much
Mere Work Than Lighter Soils
and Are Much More Difficult
to Keep In Tilth.
Ry II. w. RoEDINaJ

Soils suitable for the culture OF the
sugar beet under irrigation comprise
practically all classes. from the heavy
black soils of California and Montana
TO the sandy loans and silts OF river
bottoms and mesas. The clay and
clay loan soils require much more
work than lighter soils, and are moro
difficult to put into proper tilth. The
forming OF a crust after rains or after
being irrigated is also a disadvantage.
These soils, however. contain a much
fsrser percentage Ct available plant
food than the lighter soils and under
favorable conditions will produce
heavier yields and are not so easily
exhausted by continuous cropping.
Intensive tillage. which is so I'M
portant in the cultivation Of this crop.
has a marked tendency to render
these heavy soils more friable. and II
has been found that the yields in
The record., 1914-07-09

crease from year to year up to a cer-
taia point. In one valley in California,
where beets have been grown since
1855, some of the black adobe soils
eave the largest returns after ten
years Of continuous cropping without
lerti,ization.
The depth OF the soil is one OF the
prime considerations In the growing
of sugar bects. Gs the beet Is deep
rooted. Therefore, lands with a 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 10 lose moisture. Low, wet
lands should be avoided also, no mat
ter of what character, as they are
usually cold" and prevent rapid de-
veiopment 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.
Alkali is to be considered also, es-
peciaily as most soils throughout the
west contain alkali In greater or
smaller quantities. Beets will with
stand the effects of alkali to q greater
degree than any other summer crop.
hut strongl- impregnated soils retard
the proper development of the plant
as well as lower the purity Of the
Juice, rendering 1t unfit for manufao
ture.
Taken altogether. the best soil for
this crop is q clayey loan OF good
depth. which contains sufficient sand
or silt to allow it's being worked into
q finely divided condition. The under
lying soil stratum should be pervious
to water but not 20 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 ol

purity. As provided for In the con

the sugar manufacturers. the selec
ton OF land suitable for this crop Il
subject to the approval OF the manu-
facturers' field men or superintend
ents. Al these men are usually ex
perienced. their judgment should b.
relied upon largely.
Climate naturally has an importan
bearing on the desirability of distric
for beet culture, and In . general wa!
1t may be stated that At least four o.
fiye months Of growing weather ar
necessary to the successful produc
tion of beets. The success which hai
