wARDING OFF FRosTs

cellent publication. The Country
Gentleman, that do not contain
articles of vital interest upon the de-
velopment OF agricultural communi-
ties. and especially Of development
brought about through cooperation
Of all the elements Of the community
life. A late issue told how district
in Colorado brought itself out Of in
dustrial difficulty much as the Rogue
valley is now elevating itself by its
own bootstraps. There the frost
blight caught the fruit crop. and the
commercial organizations and the
farmers took up the sugar beet in
dustry and brought success out Of it.
Now there are more kinds Of frost
than one. There is the freight rate
frost, and the commission-man frost.
and sometimes all OF them hit the
same crop OF fruit. A fruit-growing
country is always q most agreeable
one to live in. It's climate is good,
and 1t is pleasure to have peaches,
pears, apples and grapes of quality
in our own back yard. But fruit
growing country with staple crop
OF another kind, its market assured
and with no frosts to trouble 1t, is
farSin the lead OF the other kind Of
q fruit country. That is why south
ern Oregon Is going after the sugar
beet Just as Grand Junction, ooio-
RADIO. went after 1t. Not to supplant
the orchard, but to give the farmer
a crop that will not be hit with the
frost that settles down from above,
the frost that is the product OF the
traffic manager or OF the commission
man.
Here are couple of extracts from
The Country Gentleman that show
how nearly identical we're the condi-
tions in the Grand valley and that
which now confronts the Rogue:
Grand Junction has live body Of
business men who work with the
farmers roundabout to develop the
country. In the days when it seemed
as though not enough acreage OF
sugar beets could be contracted to
bring in sugar factory, these busi-
ness men made contracts for acre
age themselves, renting land and
hiring others to raise crops OF beets.
That brought in the factory and
demonstrated beyond question that
there was money in beets. for the
business men made profit on their
leased acreage.
1.-THE sugar factory man went along
and offered contracts for additional
acres OF beets at FIVE dollars a ton,
and to make things easy offered to
furnish seed for fifteen cents pound
and do the planting for seventy-fve
cents an acre, chargeable to the
grower in the fall. He also offered to
furnish help for hoeing and thinning
the beets on any contract OF Ave
acres. Expert advice was available
on the selection Of ground and care
of the crop"
The plan worked In Grand valley;
II will work in Rogue valley.

WOMEN PRISONERS
 ARE TAKEN AWAY

Alice Cox, of tho ThIinget Indian tribe, started for the State peniten- tiary at Lansing, Kansas, under guard last night. If she lives to serve her sentence of fifteen years for the mur- der of Red" Baker, she will be 39 years old when the prison gates open to her freedom.
 As the prisoner was being placed in her stateroom aboard the steamship Alameda. Mrs. Wanda stoltz. another prisoner, who is pitifully insane, was struggling with her guards who were obliged to use force in placing her In an adjoining room aboard the ship. The Indian girl who bore the repu- tatlon of being "a bad one' during the years that she lived in Juneau, shrank from the white woman and clapped her hands over her ears to escape the yituperation that the latter hurled at her.
 Prison statistics show that the AL asllan Indians, when confined in prls- ons in the "States', do not live long and the Indian girl has been told that she may never again see the only land she has ever known. She broke down and cried shortly before the Alameda left for Seattle. and when the vessel steamed down the channel she was at the single port hole in her stateroom looking back upon the city.
 The woman prisoners are in charge Of United States Marshal and Mrs. Harry Bishop. and Mrs M. Stroud who will accompany the Cox woman East, and Mrs. J. G. Rowe and Paul w. Stoltz. Two additional guards may be used in escorting Mrs. Stolt1 to Portland, where she will enter Morn ingside Asylum for the Insane.
