VALUE OF BEET GROWING AS a
CROP ROTATION

Sugar beets, like most other cul-
tivated crops, such as potatoes and
grain, always have a beneficial eff

two successive years in a given field.
you should follow this with oats or
wheat and you will get bumper
crop. The writer has frequently seen
oat crops of 120 bushels to the acre
following a well-tilled beet crop.
Yields Of from 80 to 100 bushels may
be expected.
Another advantage of the beet
crop-the beet puller puts the ground
in about the same condition as fall
blowing so that when it comes to put
ting In a grain crop following beets
careful narrowing of the field is all
that is required, unless the field has
been so shiftlessly handled as to al
low it to become very weedy. If
you are anxious to grow good seed.

get the best results following a beet
crop.
There is about one ton of vegeta-
Bile matter that remains in each acre
after the beets are pulled. This
comes from the small fibrous roots
which feed the beet and which die
and sluff of after the beet has ripen-
ed. The beet opens up the ground.

circulation of air, the accumulation

mosphere is thereby facilitated. 1t
Is mistake to think that the grow

They are decided advantage: of
course the growing of beets is not to
be continued on the same ground for
an indefinite period. Beets, like all
other crops, should be rotated to &C.

THE FARM ROADS
Materials Ordinarily Used In Building
Roads Are Too Espensive-Few
Good Suggestions.

Many OF the materials ordinarily
employed In road construction win be
found too expensive for use in improv-
Ing the farm roads. One or more of
the following WILL however. usually
be found available and within the
means Of the farmer for surfacing his
roads and paths: gravel, mixtures Of
sand and clay, clnders. brickbats from
old buildings, brickyard wnste and
quarry waste. The material selected
should, however, be hard enough to
withstand crushing under heavy loads
ana possess sufficient binding power
to compact well and maintain a firm
hard surface under all ordinary wealth
er conditions.

and profitable market for potatoes.
there are still back in the country
several hundred carloads of potatoes
that. will rot in the cellar and can
never be utilized This is a very Sc
we're loss, particularly as there was
very heavy investment in the seed
alone. Nevertheless the Government
was powerless to furnish cars nee
essary to move this crop. We do not
see the situation will improve any
this fall. Those districts lying near
er the markets must grow the pota-
toes this year. We would not advise
the Idaho farmer to devote very much
Of his land to potatoes this season,
although we really believe that fol-
lowing the old rule "cheap seed
means high priced potatoes In the
fall" We do not believe the Govern
ment will be able to move your crop
If 1t is anything like the crop OF 1917.
1t is fair, however, to expect that
those who can produce early potatoes
may be able to secure sufficient cars
to move the same, but we are very
fearful Of car shortage when it
comes to moving a late crop Put
your potato land into beets If 1t is
located near a dump. Those of you
who are too far away from the dump
put your potato land into wheat-at
least do not expect too much out of
the perishable crops this year

BEET IRRIGATION

In planning your crops, thought
and consideration must be given to
your work of irrigation. Sugar beets
under ordinary conditions do not re-
quire irrigation before the first day
OF July If your ground however. is
pretty dry at the time of planting,
1t should be watered before the seed
Is put In the ground so as to insure
good irrigation after which no water
should b placed on the fields until
after the beets have obtained their
length, about equal to that of par
snip. The beet roots will penetrate
into the ground reaching for mois-
ture. 1t is the long tapering beet
that not only produces the tonnage.
but also the sugar content. If beets
are prematurely irrigated, they grow
chunky, like rutabages and do not
attain the weight or quality they
should. So, while 1t is to the advan-
tage Of the beet crops not to irrigate
early, you also have your time to de-
vote to the irrigation of other crops
and should be able to pretty nearly
finish the irrigation of your grain
crop before you have to put water
onto your beet fields. This enables
you to make very profitable rota-
ton Of water on your farms and is
something you should most carefully
consider. No irrigated country ever
succeeded as one crop proposition.
Diversied farming is absolutely es-
sential to get the highest results.

problem will be even more serious

perishable crops, which must be NOV

it much easier to sell his hay than
the farmer who has nothing special
to offer. We are all aroused and
keen to this situation and will do
all we can to help make a good mar
ket for hay. Growing beets will be
one Of the things that will help. Re-
member that this winter over 80 per
cent of all the sheep ranged on the
Sawtooth Forest Reserve were win
tered on this Project. and after pro-
viding for all these sheep, number
ing over 100000, we still have this
large surplus Of hay. Study this
over. Carefully consider it.

ces come mostly from either pro-
German sympathizers or from

have long ago learned to estimate
this efficiency at it's true value,

purely an efficiency of constance

would find it impossible to stand.

vorce case of Elda O'Malley against
DR.. Patrick H. O'Malley of Chinook,
and was to the effect that the accused,
though knowing that DR.. O'Malley was
not at the time of his marriage to
Elda Sharpless, a telephone operator
employed at the local exchange, so
far insane as to be incapable of enter
ing into marriage contract, swore
that he knew that O'Malley was in
sane, with the purpose of deceiving
Judge w. B. Rhoades who tried the
case and bolstering the doctors de-
tense upon which he relied to obtain
an annulment of the marriage and
thus defeat the divorce proceedings.
O'Keefe and O'Malley were friends,
and it was at the persuasion of the
former that O'Malley married Miss
Sharpless. The doctor having become
somewhat unbalanced and laboring
under the hallucination that some per-
sons in the community would do him
harm, marriage and the establishing
of home were suggested by O'Keefe
as means for O'Malley to recover
his normal condition. The marriage
was a failure and the doctor soon
compelled his wife to leave his home.
The divorce proceeding was the result.

WELL KNOWN YOUNG
LADY PASSES AWAY
Miss Agnes Ranney of Nashua Sue
cumbs to an Attack of Typhoid
Fever.

Many Glasgow people were sad
dened last week to hear of the death
of Miss Agnes Ranney of Nashua, who
was we'll known here. Miss Ranney
accepted a position with the Great
Northern railway at Harlem a few
months ago and was there at the time
of her death. About two weeks ago
she had been reported as suffering
severely with typhoid fever at the
Harlem hospital. Then came word
that she was much better. She SEEM
ed to be we'll on the road to recovery
when she suffered a relapse a week
ago Sunday which resulted in her
death.
Miss Ranney came to Montana with
her family in 1912. After the death
of her mother in 1914 she has kept
house for her father and brothers un-
til recently when she went to Harlem.
She leaves to mourn her loss her faith
er and brother Noel, both of Nashua;
a brother Cecil of Dodge, N. D.; her
sister Lola of Wolf Point; another sis
ter, Blanche, who lives in North Da-
kota, and a brother Russell, who is
over in France.
