The 1914 wheat crop of the Uni.

plus carried over from the 1913 crop
was about 10000. 900 bushels. There

cent expectation.
The large demand for our wheat
arises from the fact that there was

or 400. 900 600 bushels ont side of the
United States. from the fact that the

while writing it. He has confessed
that what he used to say about for
eign immigration, the initiative and
referendum and organized labor came
through his hat. His New Jersey
speech on tolls, his Harvey CORES
pondence, his "too-proud-tO-figh
speech, his varying expressions about
Mexico and his inconsistent attitude
toward civil service, war loans, export
of arms, public economy and the bind
ing force of platform pledges prove
him almost a professional hat talker.
On the subject Of preparedness he
must have talked through his hat last
December when he poked fun at the
nervous and excited" people who
contended that the country had been
negligent Of national defense" He
used rhetorical opiatea to deaden the
effect of Secretary Garrison's annual
report Of 1914 urging military prepar-
alton. He put his stamp Of approval
on Secretary Daniels fatuous report
last year. He has been on both sides
Of nearly all current problems except
the tariff and he shows signs Of flop
ping on that. The saddest feature is
that he can never tell when he is talk
ing through his hat.-Globe-Demo-

David II. Houghton, well known
cattleman who lives south Of town,
was very seriously injured in an au-
tomobile accident last Tuesday morn
ing while coming into town from his
ranch to look after the sale Of some
cattle. Near the Kelleher residence,
about mile south Of town, his auto
mobile took a sudden lurch to the side
Of the road and turned completely
over, Mr.. Houghton being pinned
under the car with the frame Of the
car resting on the back of his head.
Mr. Brooker, mail carrier on rural
route No. l, was a short distance be-
hind Mr.. Houghton, on his way to
town, and saw the accident. When
he arrived on the scene Mr.. Houghton
was lying fiat on his face, with both
arms stretched out, and the frame Of
the automobile resting on the back OF
his head.
Mr.. Houghton was unconscious, but
when he was turned over and it was
found that he still breathed, Mr..
Brooker Immediately summoned DIR.
Ragsdale and the injured man was
taken to the Valley hospital. Here
it was found that his collar bone, and
left shoulder blade had both been frac-
tured and that he had deep cut back
Of his left ear. Fortunately there
was no indication that his skull had
been fractured, nor were there evil
dences Of internal injuries. Mr..
Houghton was unconscious for four
hours, and the latest reports are to
the effect that he is doing nicely. I'm
less there are unlocked for complica-
tions no serious consequences are an
ticipated-La Junta Tribune.
Mr.. Houghton lived in the Lamar
territory for several years and has
many friends here who regret to learn
of his injury.

Talking Through Hats

The few published remarks Presi-
dent Wilson made to members Of the
Democratic National Committee but
whet our appetite for those concealed.
1t is easy to imagine that the presi-
dent explained TO his party committee
how he has been deliberately trying
to trim his administration sails to
current breezes. He thinks that he has
trimmed so much that the only de-
batable issue left is the tariff and he
intimates willingness to reverse him
self on that as soon as he can as
certain just what course will be re-
quired at the end of the war. In his
complacence over his achievements he
said that the opponents who predicted
his defeat were talking through their
hats.
The hat has furnished politics with
imagery before. The democrats sought
to associate Benjamin Harrison with
his grandfather's headgear. Mr.. Will
son once singled Mr. Bryan out as the
typical unscrupulous demagogue of
American and expressed wish for a
way, "at once dignified yet effective,
to knock Bryan into cooked hat,
once for ALL" Col. Roosevelts con-
tribution Of hat to the ring will lin
ger long in the memory. Mr.. Wilson
will not soon hear the last Of his
slang imagery. He has acquired
something of a reputation himself for
using the ventilation holes in his hat
for purposes Of conversation. He ad-
mitted In his 1912 letter to John Bris-
ben Walker that his History Of the
American People" was written with
ignorance and prejudice Of place and
that he was not in a position to think

Drastic Uplifting Methods

At last some of President Wilson's
friends have advanced a satisfactory
excuse for his foreign policy-h you
can call it policy. They say the
most Objectionable fault Of Americans
has been their tendency to swell up
and boast in the presence Of other
people, and that by the time the pres
ent administration retires it will be
impossible for any Americsn-at least
of this generation-to feel swelled up
or boastful.

Spineless Policy

st. Louis, Dec. 10,-Rev. DR.. VIII
liam j. Williamson, pastor Of the
Third Baptist church, called President
Wilson "the most spineless president
since Buchanan" in a speech yester-
day noon in the Mercantile Club, be-
fore the st. Louis branch Of the Ma
tional Security league.
DR.. Williamson, who is a democrat.
and who said he voted for Wilson, but
never will do so again, denounced
President Wilson's foreign and MeM-
can policies. He declared that the
presidents handling Of the foreign
and Mexican questions and Of the
"outrages" against Americans was "an
insult to the American people"

HOW OUR SUGAR BEET SEED is
GROWN
An Acre Will Produce from 200 TO
1,5OO Pounds of Seed

Sugar beet seeds are produced from
flowers that occur in groups of two
and frequently as many as groups of
seven. These give rise to seed balls,
which usually contain as many germs
as there are flowers in the cluster.
Often it happens that a flower will
stand by itself and will develop a sin
gle seed. Again, in other instances,
one or more of the flowers, either
singly or in groups, fail to produce
seed and in that way reducing the
number Of seeds and germs in the seed
ball. The flowers of the sugar beet
seed are ive-pointed-five stamens
and five parts to the corolla. The pis-
til is three-parted and the petals are
wanting.
The sugar beet plant is biennial,
producing seed the second season. In
our latitude where sugar beet seed
raising has been tried, it becomes nee
essary to protect the mother beets
from frost during the winter. This is
usually done by placing them in a silo
or pit. Select u well-drained spot
for this purpose. The sugar beets are
then piled up carefully in form of
a pyramid. The piles are then cover
ed with ground. As the cold intensi-
fies more earth is added to keep the
frost from reaching the beets.
1t is highly essential that the quail
ity OF sugar beets used for seed be
tested in order to keep the descend
ants of the seed OF the parent beet
from running out or from deteriorat-
ing. Fifteen per cent of sugar is US
ually taken as a standard, although
many beets that are planted for pro-
ducing seed tested much higher. In
this way there are obtained sugar beet
seeds, much richer as well as much
poorer than the original.
After the beets are planted the sec
ond year, some beets will produce but
a single stalk, others will send up sew
eral dozen. Frequently, the stalks are
large and upright, while others will be
small and spreading. The buds will
generally blossom in June and the
seeds will ripen during the last part
Of August, and at that time the stalks
are cut off, near the ground and left
to cure. When dried, the stalks with
seeds are threshed, with a threshing
machine, thoroughly cleaned and sack
ed ready for shipment. An acre will
yield from l 200 to 1,5OO pounds of
sugar beet seed. Only about per
cent Of seed used in the United States
is raised in this country.

Quick Witted

A lecturer who protested against
people going to sleep during his lis
disquisitions on heather lands, would,
if he perceived any tendency in that
direction, introduce some queer or
startling statement TO revive their
tagging attention. On one occasion,
when his audience seemed rather SOM
nolent. he thundC red out: "Ah, you
have no idea IF the suffering Of En-
glishmen in Central America, on ac-
count of the enormous mosquitoes. A
great many of these pests would
weigh a pound. and they will get or
the logs and bark as the white men
are passing"
BY this time ell ears and eyes were
wide open, and he proceeded to finish
his lecture. The next day he was
called upon to account for his extra
ordinary statements "But didn't
say one mosquito would weigh a
pound" he protested 81 said great
many Of them would think perhaps
million of them might do So" But

FARMERS WEEK
February 2l-26, 1916

The Register will publish a series
of short articles on the Farmers Week
program to be held in Lamar February
2l-26, 1916. The Colorado State Ag-
ricultural College will provide a corps
of trained workers this year who viii.
cooperate with local committees to
make the Third Annual Farmers
Week the big annual farmers meeting
of southeastern Colorado. Last year
scores of farmers from Baca county
attended the meetings, especially on
Dairy Day and Dry Farming Day.
Since that time the population of
Baca county has practically doubled
and the south country will have a
big delegation at the 1916 meeting.
The following article is by N. G.
Jones, editor of the Two Buttes SEN
tinel, and one of the boosters for the
improvement of farming and dairy
conditions in the upland country.
Farmers Week and the South Country
The Farmers Week, which has be-
come an annual affair in Lamar,
largely through the efforts Of the
high school and the personal efforts
Of Superintendent Momyer, should
mean a good deal to the so-called
South Country" meaning that vast
prairie so rapidly populated and sub
stantially developed, from the Ar
kansas river TO the Cimarron, taking
in parts of Prowers, practically all OF
Baca and portions of Bent and Las
Animas counties. At no other place
nearer and more accessible TO the
farmers in said territory will there
be held this winter, at least, any
farmers meeting that will bring to
the farmers and stockmen such splen-
did opportunities to hear discussed the
various subjects and problems that are
vital to the builders % this country,
for no railroadless town can hope to
have such privileges. and no other
railroad point is more accessible and
better prepared to handle the affair
than Lamar is.
Besides, as already hinted, Farmers
Week will be no mean affair, Judging
from what was had at the meeting in
the past two years. No efforts will
be spared to get the best. The pro-
grams, each day, will be varied. Ex-
perts will be there to discuss the
many perplexing questions that con-
front the settlers-not book men"
alone, but scientific practical field
men. Some Of them will come from
the State Agricultural college; for
that institution readily cooperates
with bona fide agricultural organiza-
tions. 1t will be the purpose Of those
in charge to emphasize the import
ance Of varying the programs so as
to cover the different phases Of both
irrigation and non-irrigation farming.
and the subjects will be announced
early so that the people may know
what to look for.
So Farmers Week will be a privi-
lege, held out to the South Country,
from the right place Let there be
good attendance
