GROWING SUGAR-BEET SEED
Off Supply From Germany-Farm-
or Must Find New Source.

The greater part of the sugar-beet
seed sown each year in the United
States has formerly been imported
from Europe, principally from Ger
many and Russia. The outbreak of
the present war has cut of this sup
ply and now the problem is to find
new sources for obtaining seed. The
growing of beet seed has been neg
lected in this country due to \ de-
creasing sugar content in beets from
native grown seed and also to the
scarcity of the hand labor necessary
in harvesting the crop. But now 1t is
up to the American farmer to grow
his own seed.
Although most Of the factories have
sufficient seed on hand for the
1916 sowing, yet a considerable acre
age has been set to seed beets. The
beets are set out early in spring in
rows four feet apart, the crown of
the beet being just level with the sur
face Of the ground.
First large thick cluster of leaves
grows up to about Is inches In height
and then the seed stalks appear.
Some beets send up but one large
branching seed stalk but the major
ity havO several, four to ten, of the
tall branching stalks.
The beets are cultivated both ways
similar to corn until about the first
of July when the seed stalks get so
tall, in some cases reaching up five
and six feet, and bending over pre-
vent cultivation. When viewed near
by field of these plants does not
present very prepossessing appear
ance, the tall, struggling seed stalks
greatly resembling large plants of
the narrow-leaved or curly dock.

VALUE OF STRAW FOR STOCK
Comfortable Stable and Good Bed Is
as Necessary for Animals az II
Is for Human Beings.

All stock should be given a thick
bed of straw, leaves or sawdust. A
comfortable stable and good bed is
as necessary for animals as it is for
human beings If straw is wanted for
feed, forest leaves may be used in
stead.
Leaves contain large percentage
OF ash, and though not SO valuable
as straw for filters, are very good.
Sawdust makes an excellent litter for
all stock. 1t not only adds bulk,
which is of value, as thus the manure
is divided, and Is more easily and
evenly distributed, but it decays both
in the heap and in the soil, thus af-
fording organic matter and ash to the
plant, while it retains all the valua-
BILE qualities of the manure.
Sawdust absorbs the urine, and
when this saturated sawdust is
thrown out into pile in the yard,
1t will soon ferment, and if the ma
nure is not kept moist and well plas
tered much of the ammonia in the
manure will evaporate into the air.
The better plan is to mix the horse
manure with the COW manure, using
plenty of plaster and woods earth.
A layer of each kind of manure mixed
with a few shovels of woods earth
will add vegetable matter and pre-
vent the loss of the urine, which is
the most valuable portion of the ma
nure.
Straw is worth fully $3.50 per ton
for bedding alone, and If dry and Of
good quality, worth twice this for feed.
In cold, frosty weather plenty of bed
ding is great comfort to a work
horse, and, in fact. to any animal.
Bed the sheep pens with little straw
once day. Most of the straw will |
be eaten if of good quality.

TO APPLY ANIMAL MANURES
Fertilizer Should Be Spread on Top Of
PIoWed Ground and Then Well
Narrowed Under.

Manure for spring crop should be
well rotted and fine. 1t should be
spread on top of the plowed ground
and well narrowed in. Harrow the
field three times across the burrows
the full length of the field, and then
diagonally.
A thorough mixing of the manure
with the soil acts quickly, and less
manure will be needed. Long, coarse
manure should be spread over the
sod and plowed under. The proper
time to spread fresh manure and long
stalk and straw manure is during tho
winter and early in spring.
When coarse manure is plo-ed un-
der late in the spring it will take some
time to rot, and is sure to make the soil
too loose, allowing the free entrance
of air and the loss of a great amount
of moisture, which is needed by the
corn. If this coarse manure is plowed
under, roll the ground; If it is dry as
soon as plowed, then harrow and roll
to compact the ground, and Just be-
fore it is time to plant harrow the
field both ways with the spring tooth
harrow, followed with the smoothing
harrow. By this method the coarse
stalks and straw will rot by June, and
will be in condition to be taken up by
corn roots in midsummer. Put the
corn in with $50 pounds of some good
bone fertilizer to the acre to promote
quick, vigorous growth.

not see any of the night clerks who
might have remembered Howard Gen

on day duty.
AS soon as ne heard the nature OF
their errand and who Felix Hazard
and Miss Bertel were, he beckoned to
the day house detective, who at that
instant was crossing the lobby.
Immediately the circumstance that
Howard Gentry had arrived Tuesday
night instead of Wednesday was con-
firmed. Then, as an interesting ad-
dendum to this, the clerk averred that
about 7:30 o'clock on the morning OF
Wednesday, the twentieth, man had
applied at the desk to see Gentry on
matter of pressing Importance. In a
few minutes the man was invited up
to Gentry's room. Shortly the young
man, accompanied by the stranger,
came down in one Of the elevators
and went hurriedly away. Neither

remained.
At this juncture the house detective

Il was just relieving the night man

refrained from breaking into his cogi-

in an effort to grasp whatever fresh
development was suggested.
The phase that perplexed her was
the implication that Gentry was in
league with a crook as notorious as
"Gyt" Purcell.
Their destination was the old Harri-

Hazard began without preamble.

Hazard signified that he did: but
Helen was Indifferent, having no in

Hazard was shown to a cell where
a tall, well-knit young fellow lay
stretched upon an iron cot. He ap-
peared to be in a drunken stupor
His handsome. refined face was
marred by a CHASTITY pallor, his black
hair was frumpled, and from time to
time he moaned and stirred uneasily
in his sleep.
Suddenly Hazard leaned over the
sleeper and shifted. At once the du-
bious expression cleared from his face,
and in another instant he was back in
McInerney's Office.
It's Gentry all right" he assured
Helen. Then, to the police captain:
Say, don't you bulls know the diff

He and Helen returned to the Suth-
erlands. and an hour or so later they
were informed that Purcell had been
brought in and that Gentry had in a
measure recovered his sober senses,
though he was still dazed and un-
steady.
Five minutes later Felix Hazard
was again in the young mans cell.

Wayne County Leader Was Supposed

Lansing, Mich, Aug. 19.-That AL

q majority of the votes cast for gov

diction of ex-Secretary of State Fred

Martindale's prediction caused some

LELAND is FORGOTTEN
According to Martindale, stories to
the effect that Wayne county is united
for Leland are not in accordance with
the facts. He says the local candi-
date in Wayne county is being forgot
ten in the scramble for city and gov
ernment jobs, and that Sleeper has
perfected an organization that will re-
suit in his carrying Wayne on pri-
mary day.
Before the time for filing petitions
expired it was generally believed that
Martindale would again be a candi-
date for the nomination for governor.
Enthusiastic friends obtained $4,000
signers to Martindale petitions, and
they were filed with the state depart
ment. At the last minute Martindale
ordered Secretary of State Vaughan
to disregard the petitions, and re-
