MAJOR BASEBALL
RACE WAKES TENSE

New York, Aug. 21.-With Cleve-
land playing Boston and with Chi
cago meeting New York in the Am
erican league, interest in the John
son circuit centers today in Boston
and New York.
Both New York and Chicago have
displayed sudden reversals OF form
and while Cleveland has slumped to
third place in the league standings,
the club is only few points behind
Chicago. and is playing great base
ball.
Chicago's pitchers, great staff
when going right, apparently have
begun to pitch winning ball, while
Bill Donovan's Yankees, crippled
though they are, have put up the fea-
ture performance OF the league of
late. The loss to the White Sox Sat
urday was their first reversal in six
games. The Yankees sudden recov-
cry and the apparently thorough re-
habilitation OF the White Sox twirl-
Ing corps are strong factors in the
pennant race.

This introduced o new factor into the
science OF beet meteorology. While
the arid area on which beets can be
grown without irrigation is probably
confined almost exclusively to the
coast towns OF California. the success
tul commercial production of sugar
beets in Utah and Colorado has open
ed new and extensive field. What
has taken place in these states is be-
ing rapidly duplicated In Idaho; a
beginning has been made In Montana.
and the time is undoubtedly coming
when beets will be grown in Wyoming
and probably throughout the whole
arid region.
The northern parts OF our Eastern
and Middle States and the states Of
Oregon and Washington have at least
an equal chance for the successful
production OF beet sugar with the
fields Of Germany and France. To
be able to control the moisture OF the
soil is a matter Of prime importance
TO the beet grower. In the arid re-
gion the time at which the beet ma
lures can be controlled by withhold
ing the water. Furthermore. there
is no danger OF loss due to second
growth, so easily induced by late
warm autumnal rains.
The high cost OF good irrigation
renders 1t imperative that the areas
under culture be devoted to crop
which is capable OF producing more
valuable yield than Is afforded by
cereal culture. In dry soil the beet
can endure without damage a low,
temperature, which would prove quite
disasterous In a wet climate. More
complete maturity may be thus OBJ
tanned, and. a more leisurely harvest.
In fact, there is no staple crop which
can compete with the sugar beet in
demanding the favorable attention OF
those interested In irrigation. II a
net profit OF from SO to $50 per acre
can be secured, from 800 to 5000
per acre can be paid for the land.

CULTURE OF SUGAR BEETS
by H. W. WILEY.

Editors Note: DR.. Wiley, the au-
thor of this article, is the famous
I"Pure Food" Wiley who gained re-
Inown some years ago as government
chemist in the department Of agri-
Iculture. He has been professor OF
agriculture. and is recognized au-
thority on sugar production, Follow
ling articles will cover other phases
Of the question.
Moisture Conditions Affecting the
Beet-Sugar Industry
Although conditions Of temprea-
ture must be taken into considera-
ton in selecting sites for beet-sugar
factories, those OF rainfall must also
be studied. The sugar beet requires
a certain amount OF moisture in order
to produce its normal crop. This
moisture must be derived either from
precipitation in the usual way or from
irrigation; or else the soil must be
of that particular quality which will
allow subterranean moisture to reach
Che rootlets OF the plants. Where there
Is little subterranean moisture, and
where irrigation is not practicable,
the culture of the sugar beet should
not be undertaken unless an average
summer precipitation of 2 to 4 inches
per monh can be depended on. There
are many conditions OF agriculture,
however. under which the beet be-
comes quite independent Of extremes
of precipitation. The beet may thrive
with very little rainfall or with a
great deal, IL properly cultivated in
q suitable soil.
Growing Beets on Irrigated Lands
The experience of more than twen-
ty years in California and ten years
in Colorado has shown that the cli-
matte data, regarded as Of prime
importance in beet culture in Europe,
can not be regarded as rigidly appli-
cable to this country. The successful
growth Of sugar beets in the arid re-
gions OF onr country, with irrigation

Canned Corn

Canned Corn
Take freshly picked corn. heat on
the cob about five minutes, Just
enough to set the corn, then cut from
the cob,
For every nine cups OF corn use one
cup OF sugar and one-half cup OF
salt. Heat to boiling point and put
the corn In sterllized Jars and seal,
Soak In cold water from five TO
ten hours before using.
Try this and you will find II gives
one OF the very best canned corns
you ever used.
The Country Gentleman is. per-
haps, the best variety OF corn for
this method OF canning.
Spray Your Fruit
find that many fruit growers are
neglecting the later spraying OF
fruit. This Is surely going to be
disastrous this season. The Goblin
moth has been more or less active
all the time this summer In most
localities around Grants Pass. The
only sure method OF keeping fruit
clean IS to keep the fruit covered all
the time with poison. There have
been seasons here when II was pos
sible TO get clean fruit from two
sprayings, but such Is not the case
this season,
Sweet Glover
A few farmers have been trying
out sweet clover recently and In al
most every instance they have report
ed excellent results. The only ohiec-
tion that has been raised against II
is the difficulty in getting stock to

ctme by keeping other feeds away
from stock until they have acquired
taste for the clover.

THROWING OFF PAPER-wEIGHT
BALLAST

The heavy thud Of the Sunday
newspaper as it is heaved upon the
front porch will soon be a story OF
the past Conditions Of paper pro-
duction in the United States have
been becoming more and more criti-
cal since war conditions upset the in
dustrial balance in this field. The
industrial balance" now presents an
aspect OF acute inclination. with the
demand" side Of the scales some
what inclined to be desperate. as the
product scars almost beyond sight.
There Is a constant tendency for
demand and production to equalize, !"
says the economist. The publishers
Of the nation reply. "Quite true. but
we have a variation" The variation"
will be seen in the smaller sized
editions Of the large city newspapers,
following resolutions adopted last
week by the American Newspaper
Publishers association. The decision
was rendered by that stern Judge.
Necessity, upon showing of the
facts. Production has reached the
maximum, and no surplus exists.
There is an impending increase in
demand. Our mills are called upon
to fill demands formerly cared for by
foreign production. Monopolistic
prices already govern the market. An
increase here is inevitable. Either
the price must be paid, or the vol
ume of demand diminished. That
price is considered prohibitive so
necessity orders the diminution Of
demand, and organization again
scores a victory. Already the Phil
adelphia press limits itself to a max
imum OF eighty pages Of print per
week. The constancy with which de-
mand and supply tend to equalize is
again proved, but the spectacle is pre-
sented, of an organized nationwide
altering Of the demand side of the
balance. The public will now view
the throwing off of ballast, till the
scales again are adjusted.

Loss to producers OF perishable and

simply impossible, 1t &as said at the

ANY computation OF figures, how

A strike within the next few weeks
even II II lasted less than a week,

almost immeasurable havoc to the

try. Very few cities, according TO
Chief White, have sufficient commod-
tiles and delicacies OF this kind to last
more than a few weeks at most.
Pittsburg, he said. is a typical case.
The territory within 100 miles OF
the smoky city does not produce two
percent OF the amount used there.
Within two or three days such com
modities would be used up. II would
be out OF the question to relieve
the situation with horse-drawn, or

would be reduced to a bread and

last long in some localities"
White declared individual plants

be forced to close down through lack
OF raw materials. Millions OF work

out Of employment. With salaries
thus cut of. they would be unable to

"At this time some 50.000,000
bushels OF wheat have just started
moving from the Pacific northwest
Oregon, Idaho and Washlngton-to
Pacific terminals for shipment via the
canal and the horn to Europe. II Is
easy to see what would happen to
these crops were the railroads to stop
operating.
"Of course. grain now stored In
elevators would not be lost, but with
out the railroads. these grains could
not be moved to the mills, and eleva-
tor storage for crops already har-
vested or about to be harvested would
be out OF the question. Complete
loss OF these millions OF bushels OF
grain, therefore, would be threat
ened."
