FOR BEET SEEDING

With the good rains of the past
moist. AS soon as dry enough to
work the surface without balling up
work down with a good light harrow; !;
follow once with good float or lev
eler and harrow lightly without de-
lay, whereupon the ground is ready
for the beet drill. If for any reason
planting is delayed. harrow again
just before seeding. This is done.
first, to kill the young weeds, and,
second, to give the final touch that
brings and holds moisture nearer the
surface to facilitate quick germina-
tion. The idea is to prepare the soil
quickly with as little work as possible
so as to eliminate the danger of los
ing the moisture by working up the
surface too many times and to be
ready to plant early and thereby take
all the advantage of the moisture and
give the crop start.
The last narrowing should be done
cross-wise to the direction in which
the planter will run. The ground
after narrowing is left in series of
small ridges between which are de-
pressions left by the harrow teeth;
if the planting is done parallel with
the narrowing many of the rows are
apt to be planted in the ridges and
are too deep for the plants to come
to the surface. Then, too, many rows
may be planted in the depression ard
the covering will be so shallow that
the seeds fail to sprout because of
lack of moisture. If however, the
planting is done cross-wise to the
narrowing there will be surely a point
in the seed row between the lowest de-
preston and the deepest part of the
adjoining ridge where the moisture
and the depth will be just right for
complete termination and we are at
least more certain of good stand
Of plants.
In many districts it is found neces-
sary to irrigate before planting be-
cause Of light winter precipitation.
In this case the irrigation should be
done not in the spring, but in the
previous fall. The first cultivation
should begin as soon as the beet rows
can be seen and before the thinning
is done. The weeds have started and
their tender foliage is readily decom-
posed and when tHrned under forms
mulch which retards somewhat the
loss of moisture to tn, air. There is
another function that this, and. all
future civilizations for that matter
perform and which is little under
stood and still less appreciated: Evap-
Grafton is constantly llberating mois-
ture from the soil and as it is passing
up it carries in solution every var

food, and this too in its most refined
or nitrified state for Immediate in
PRODUCTION to the roots of plants.
When the surface is reached ths
air takes up the pure moisture in tho
form of vapor leaving the solids to
crystalline on the ground. This is
of absolutely no use to the crop be-
cause neither the soil organisms nor
the plant roots will operate on the ex-
posed surface of the soil When this
thin shell of soil is turned under by
the cultivator these plant foods are
readily available to the roots of the
struggling young plants. This is on
ly one of the many things that can be
considered in tilling the soil and the
results are in close measure to the
care with which the small details are
carried out.

SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVEN-
TON DENVER IN MAY

the state are interested in the State
Convention, which convenes in Den
yer May 14-15-l6. At a recent meet
ing of superintendents and pastors of

pected that at least thousand dele
gates will avail themselves of the op-
portunity to attend the convention.

tures," prominent among which will

the convention. They are well known

and their coming guarantees a rare
musical treat. Daily conference for
workers in the various departments of
the Sunday School have been arranged
for the discussion of practical prob

control and operation of the packing in.
dustries during the war was suggested
by Senator Kenyon yesterday before the
Senate agricultural committee
Hank Reid, editor of u Chicago stock
journal, was testifying OH the shortage
of food, particularly in meat.
Don't YOU think il eventually will
be necessary for the government TO take
over the packing industries and operate
them?h asked Senator Kenyon.
Yes, | do" Reid replied, adding that
the packers are controlling the meat sup.
ply and debating prices.
Il believe President Wilson's blind
side is farming and he farmers" Reid
said. In nothing he has written OF said
is there anything to indicate he has a
sympathetic understanding of the inter
csts of farmers. | believe that Mr..
Hoover aud Secretary Houston would do
lot of things if President Wilson would
let them. The general opinion seems to
prevail that members of the cabinet and
other administrative heads have been
held back because President Wilson does
not grasp the situation Mr. Reid de-
clared EITHER the government is fore
ing the packers TO squeeze the farmers
or the packers are doing it of their own
accord"
Reid agreed with a suggestion made
by Senator Gronna of North Dakota that

NO MESSAGE
TO JAPANESE

Had Sent Direct Note
on Action

Washington, March Japan sees q
threat of German attack through ST
IBERIA of the exact kind that the Anglo.
Japanese alliance was created to guard
against, The attack may be made eth
err by the Germans then selves or by the
Russian Bolsheviki, under German in.
spiration This threat is given, as the
reason for proposed Japanese interven-
ton in Siberia and before definite action
il would be incumbent upon japan to
convince her special ally, Great Britain,
that the danger actually exists.
Great Britain appears to have full
confidence in Japan and in seeking to
impart that confidence to the United
States asks for no affirmative action by
this government merely seeking to al.
lay any possible apprehension that Jap
an plans permanent occupation OF 81
IBERIA
The American state department is said
to be convinced on this point, but does
not feel called upon to record itself af'
frmatively or negatively.
II is suthoritatively stated that the
United States has sent no communica-
tion to Japan on the subject of action in
Siberia and that if any views of this gov
are expressed they probably
will be conveyed TO Great Britain, through
which the United States has received all
its information of the situation.
1t is further stated that the United
States has not assented, dissented, or
and that without any ex-
change of written communication, Japan
already understands the friendly atti-
Jude of the United States and its dis
position To take no part. In addition,
Japan understands that the United
states credits her with disnterested pur.
bose il action in Siberia should be taken.
At the same time it is understood
Iapan understands the United States is
irving thought to the moral effect in
Russia of such action and would feel
hat the absolute necessity should be APP
aren't before it is taken. These views
ave been expressed to Great Britain
'hich as an intermediary advised the |
Inited States of Japan's views. II has |
cen pointed out to state department of |
cials that the Anglo-Japanese pact is
ssentially conservative in spirit and /
hat so far from contemplating or coun-
aggressive action on the part |
either Great Britain or Japan with |
