saying This government has not in

that he wished to withdraw this "or

ii is impossible for us to accept.
"You must not push your demands
too far. You must not attempt to
humiliate Germany"

PORTLAND LAWYER
TO AID DRANDE|S
tBy United Press Leased Wire.

! tBy United Press Leased Wire.)
Washington, Feb. T.--Joseph Teal,
Portland attorney. indicated today he
expects to refute charges of miscon-
duct slated to be made against Louis
ID. Brandeis, President Wilson's
choice for the supreme court bench.
when senate committee hearings open
Wednesday.
Particularly, Teal will attempt to
discredit the reported claim Of Cliff
ford Thorne, Iowa railroad commits
sioner, that Brandeis threw the
western railway rate case to the rail-
ways at President Wilson's insist
ence.
According to the story that
Thorne's friends tell. Thorne intends
to claim Brandeis threw the case. be.
lieving the president would suffer
politically IL the railroads were not
given the increase, particularly at a
time when prosperity was not at full
tide.
"Brandeis' letter OF employment
from the interstate commerce COM
mission shows that they retained him
as an expert. and not to advocate
either side," said Teal today. There
is no more reason for criticizing his
action than there would be to criticize
an attorney whom you had engaged
to examine title and who informed
you of facts that would both prove
and disprove your contention"
Teal was engaged to watch the case
for coast shippers. In this capacity
he was allied with Thorne.
Quite an array OF witnesses had
been mustered against Brandeis. One
of the charges will be that he played
both sides" in a Boston case. Again,
he will be accused OF drawing legal
documents for the united Snoe
Machinery company and then taking
a case against the company for st.
Louis firm.
The party lineup is Sc democrats
and 40 republicans. Eight or nine
OF the republicans, at least, will be
for the confirmation OF the peoples

ing really with 81 or 80 votes, the re-
publicans must align Is or II demo-
Gratis to make a tie.
To win, Brandeis must have clear
majority-49-and vice-President
Marshall has no vote.

GROWING SUGAR BEETs.

The growing OF the sugar beet In
the Rogue valley viii be the opening
up OF new industry. Very different
conditions of culture must be en-
ployed than have been practiced with
the crops heretofore grown. But
there will be expert advice in abun-
dance for those who seek il. In each
end of the valley the sugar company
will have established Offices with a
soil and cultural expert at each. The
special types of machinery needed in
the production of the new crop will
be brought here under the direction
Of the factory people, who are just
as deeply interested in the success of
the industry as the farmer himself.
Unless the farmer succeeds. the fac
tory can not succeed, and the men
who are putting more than half a
million dollars into the enterprise can
take no chances with failure.
Word has come from Salt Lake
City that the chief agricultural and
cultural expert Of the sugar COM
pany, Mr.. Austin. will be here before
the end of the present week, and
offer his expert advice after study Of
conditions in the valley. 1t is also
hoped that the new county agricul-
turist recently named by the agricul-
tural college, cooperating with the
grange and the county court will be
here at the time of Mr.. Austin's ar
rival, when a series of meetings will
be held and the science of sugar beet
culture viii be preached.
The expense Of producing an acre
of beets is about so much regardless
Of whether five tons or thirty tons are
taken from it, hence the necessity OF
crowding production to the highest
possible point. The work Of these ex-
perts will be directed toward getting
from the land It's greatest return
through improved methods of build
ing up fertility and Of the culture OF
the crop. Some of our soils have
been cropped until they can not pro-
duce maximum yield of beets with
out replacing the elements needed for
plant growth. For this reason some
OF the growers may meet measure Of
disappointment till the soil has been
brought back to its original fertility.
It is noted. however, that It is the
history of beet growing districts that
the production per acre has increased
yearly.
