beets on it. This gave a greater
reach for the root system on n side
of each of the two adjoining rows,
and all the space was filled with the
fine root system. The beets were
much larger and the tops taller. Mr..
Hale has agreed to weigh up a sec
tion of these rows and a correspond
ing section of three adjacent rows
and see how the tonnage compares,
at harvest time. Mr.. Hale had water
ed one small strip of his beets and
had the rest of it all ready for water
ing but was watching the signs so
he could put it on at any time they
needed it.. His sign is that when the
heat and drouth make the leaves
wilt down by 10 o'clock in the morn
ing, and when the leaves at the cen
ter, of the beet top turn dark colored,
when they lose their light green tint
and take on the dark color that al
ready existed at the tops of the larger
leaves, that is the exact time he likes
to give them water. Then he is very
particular not to give them too much
or let it flood them. The deeper he
can keep the water in the ground be-
tween the rows the better the growth
after watering. The wider apart the
beets are kept, the larger the beets.
Arthur Hale discovered this while
raising beets in a young orchard. The
rows next to the tree-row had plenty
of space on one side, and>these were
his heaviest yield. In places where
he had to dig deep and bank up the
rows to get water thru, he observed
that the beets were largest. He
finds that many small or average
sized beets require much more time
for topping and loading than an
equal weight of large ones. He Is
about convinced that planting less
seed, doing less thinning, but doing
it more carefully, watering less and
raising longer beets will be less ex-
pensive and yield more tonnage.
Arthur and Eugene Hale have work
ed together for several years investi-
eating beets and the best ways to
raise them. They say that some OF
the neighbors have tried raising them
far apart and in each instance the
test has been in favor of thin beets.
They claim that thin beets means

ing rule will nearly hold good: Thin
ned to eight inches apart makes an
eight-ton crop; 10 inches apart a 10
ton crop; Is inches apart gives a ID
ton crop, and so on up to 80 inches.
AT this point in the comparison
Joseph Merrill suggest thinning them
all out. Evidently Mr.. Merrill ques-
ttions this system of thinning.
Boiler Reich, of Furey, raised nine
acres of rye this year and had about

and for household purposes. He and
his sons are preparing to have a well
drilled on their land for all of them
to use together.
J. ]. Gohl lives on an adjoining
claim and had a very good garden
this year consisting of rhubarb,
cabbage, beets, potatoes, lettuce and
turnips, all raised without irrigation.
T. E. Link raised Is acres of rye
this year. He had some fall wheat
that failed because of the frosts in
the spring. 1t was so thin on the
ground after the late spring freezing
that he tried narrowing to make 1t
thicker and killed out part of what
was left. Mr.. Link has some Eng
lish rye grass that he sowed in the
spring when the land was quite dry,
but most of it has grown and made
a good showing considering it has
had no rain. Mr.. Link has been on
his claim for three years.

Three years ago we moved from
Blackfoot to Groveland. When we
got here we found the place well
seeded to weeds so we decided TO Try
our luck at something that would
make the place look more like a
home.
We plowed the ground and fer
tilted it well and planted II 10
flowers and shrubs; we o nave
over SO different kinds. of flowers on
our place. When We first set out
the little slips we always shade them
well until they get rooted; we also
water them every morning n even,

them we stir it up well with a FORK;
in this way we have never lost d
plant that we put in the ground.
We have rose slips that we planted
this year that are only two or three
inches high but are in bloom. we
keep them all damp" by watering
every night and morning. This IS
mo small task, but when We LOOK
at the beauty around us we feel that
we are we'll paid for u trouble.
Then when fall comes we take our
tenderest plants up and put Their
into pots inside the house. We make
a trip to the lavas first to get a load
of rich, black soil to plant them In;
this soil is best because it doesn't
bake on the surface when watered.
If the plants do not seem to 40
we'll after they have been in the pots
for, a time we run a knife around
the pot to see if the roots are touch-
ing: if they are we put them into
a larger pot.
In the winter before going to bed
at night time we see that the plants
are all wrapped up to keep them
from freezing; it is always easier to
keep them alive than to bring them
to life again once they are dead.

raised quite a tract of potatoes this
year IN land that was freshly plow-
ed. He. had potatoes large enough
to use the first of August, with pros

acres of peas that grew about ten

quent waterings. 1t is not so good
as what he sowed on top of the hill
where it receives no water at all.
HE sowed it on the second of June
and it is from three to five feet high
the middle of August. 1t is a very
rank grass bearing a resemblance to
cane. 1t has large stalks and large
juicy blades. Mr.. Edwards says that
when it is sowed for hay it requires
about IL pounds per acre. They
have had AT of an inch of rain since
he planted the Soudan grass.

> Eugene, Hale, of Groveland, is
watering his beets for the first time,
beginning the eleventh of August,
Mr.. Hale is the man whose beets we
wrote up in the issue of July IA.
We called attention to his deep plow-
ing, the sub-soiling, the borrowings
early in spring to keep the ground
from drying out, leaving it for a
month to let the weeds get started to
growing, narrowing and dragging to
kill the weeds and the final sowing
Of, the rows 26 inches apart. In
thinning he thinned them nearly two
feet, leaving the large thrifty look
ing beets rel if they g not in
the exact place in the row that. he
wanted them, taking out the weaker
ones that happened to be in the right
spot rather than the strong ones in
the wrong place. In blocking, he
took care not to lift the dirt with
his hoe but to back the hoe out after
each stroke and leave the ground I'M
disturbed. Wherever the ground is
lifted and the moisture exposed 1t
allows the moisture to escape, and
that leaves the ground hard and dry
around the beet. This he avoids by
the meal named. He plants and
cares for the turn-rows just as care
fully as the rest of it, and altho the
turn rows got trampled out some
what and looked thinner in July,
yet by the middle of August they had
revived and were nearly as good as
the rest. The roots went down we'll
in search of moisture and this gives
the beets the shape for big tonnage
by reason of their length. We ex-
amined the root system of the
eleventh of August, and found the
ground permeated with them down
as deep as it was sub-sOiled which
was from 20 to 25 inches. The fine
fibers extended out from the sides
of the beets like coarse threads, and
then a network of something resemb-
ling spider webs, only larger, reached
everywhere between the beets and
between rows. In n part of the
field a couple of rows were so much
larger than the rest that they attract
ed attention at a distance of three or
four hundred feet, and investigation
showed that it was a place where the
drill had missed for a few rods and
left a wide strip of 81 inches with no
