to the party and he was sure Mr.. Bear
was sound asleep from the noise he
was making.
Mr.. Rabbit said he, too, was sure
there was no use waiting any longer
for Mr.. Bear, for he had noticed that
all of the windows were closed In Mr..
Bears house as he passed.
Mr.. Fox coughed to hide smile
which he could not hold back and said !:
TOO bad, too bad and | had planned
so on giving him nice treat. Well,
we may rs well begin, then, for | am
afraid he has fallen asleep and won't
come.'
Mr.. Fox had a big armchair which
he said was to have been for Mr.. Bear
but MS he was not there to use it, be-
ing the next animal In size, he guessed
he better sit in 1t himself.
II was the plan he had all the time,
for Mr., Fox was very fond of comfort
and planned to eat great deal that
night, as he had prepared things he
especially liked for the party.
But he had hardly seated himself
when the door opened and in came Mr..
Bear, all out of breath from running.
He was smiling and In his paw he
held the invitation that Mr.. Fox had
put under his door, II almost missed

Mr., Fox, Of course, said that was
true and had to give up his chair to
the late guest.
Mr.. Bear did not waste time or
words, He began to eat as soon as
he was seated, beginning with the
honey, which he finished in short or
der.
There was not enough left for even
soup. lust as Mr., Fox had thought, and
as he lighted the guests out that night
he looked up at the moon and shook
his paw. you are the meddling old
fellow he said, that spoiled my

just as IL he knew 1t and enjoyed the

And so while the wood folks waited

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
One of the first requisites of per-
manent and satisfactory beet-sugar in
dustry is an adequate supply of seed
Of good quality. 1t has been scarce
and as result the production of
sugar-beet seed in the United States
has made rapid progress during the
past few years. The present annual
requirement in this country is approx
mately 100000 pounds, Of which
about 80 per cent Is now produced
within the nations borders. With the
continued development Of the sugar
beet industry more and more seed is
required each year, but 1t is confident
ly expected by specialists Of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture that eventually the total Ameri-
can requirement will be grown In this
country. In order to encourage the
growing of sugar-beet seed and assist
in Its development along proper lines,
the department recently published
Farmers Bulletin 1852, Growing
Sugar-Beet Seed In the Rocky Noun

Investment Required Large.
The development Of this industry
has been greatest in the irrigated sec
lions of Colorado. Montana, Utah and
Idaho, and special reference Is given
in the bulletin to the growing of sugar
beet seed in this region. The industry
Is best adapted to large operators, the
investment required for special ma
chinery being so great that the bust
ness is not really profitable on less
than 100 acres. 1t Is to the growing
of sugar beets on large scale that |
the instructions In the bulletin refer.
The sugar-beet plant is biennial /

among seed producers as stockings.
Roots for commercial seed produc-
tion are usually started about the
same time as beets intended for fac
tory purposes, though some growers
have had better success by starting
their strecklings a little later as In
June. July sowings may be satisfac-
tory If conditions happen to be Just

centage of roots too small for profit

from growing too large, seed Is gen.
orally sown at the rate of 10 to 16
pounds per acre and the plants are
left unthinned. 1t Is important that
the seed be of highest quality and, be-
cause an even stand is highly desIr-
able, the bulletin recommends that
termination tests be made.
Harvest of Stocking.
The stocking harvest should be
started before freezing weather. In
northern Colorado 1t generally begins
by September 20 and is usually COM
pleted with all the beets In the sllos
by October 10. Harvesting begins by
moving the tops of the stockings as
close to the ground as practicable. If
the mowers are run first one way and
then back again on the same row,
many leaves will be cut off which
would not be removed If the machines
were run in one direction only. The
beets are then plowed out, and in or
der to do this work so that they may
be gathered more readily, 1t Is fire.
quently desirable to lrrigate before
harvesting, especially If the soil is
dry. If the foliage of the stockings
is thick and heavy, 1t pays to gather
the leaves and silo them for feed. but
usually they are left on the ground to
dry. In order to prevent drying out,
stockings must be hauled Immediately
after being pulled.

someone has requested you to give

you for criticism, avoid the post

not turn to your partner and say:
why didn't you return my lead In
the fourth hand round?" or Didn't
you see by my discard that | was
strong in clubs? Why didn't you play
them?" The answer to these ques-
lions usually is that the player didn't
play the game as well as might be,
but most players don't like to be
forced to admit 1t. Nor do they ike
to start an argument by asserting that
what they did play was better. So make
up your mind that when hand is
played, it Is played. Don't bore those
who are playing with you by telling
them what a remarkable hand you had
after the hand Is played. If they have
been watching the cards, they have
seen that 1t was remarkable, but, any
way, they won't be interested In hear
Ing about 1t afterwards.
Don't complain of your bad luck.
When you do that the inference al
ways Is that you ascribe your poor sue
cess to your cards and your op-
ponent's success merely to his good
luck and not to his good playing. Yet
there are persons who always, unless
winning, assure us that they are hav-
ing all the bad hands and that they
play very much better when the cards
favor them.
And here Is an important don't"

of the truly well-bred person, as the
ability to take defeat, whether In cards
or In the affairs Of business and social
activity. The poor loser we always
put down as being no thoroughbred.
If you do not play game fairly
WE'LL do not accept an invitation to
play with others who probably play
better. IL you see that you will be

when, perhaps, they need you to make
up a game, tell them quite frankly
that you play indifferently. II, after
you have made this announcement you |
are severely criticized by one of the

you are quite justified In Withdrawing

HOW DO YOU SAY IT?

Common Errors in English and
How to Avoid Them
FURTHER" AND "FARTHER."

PROBABLY the best way of show
1 Ing the difference between these
two words, In correct usage, is to give
examples. The following two seD-
fences will illustrate this:
my time Is limited, so | shall not
be able to so further into the sub
ject." Eve have to travel ten miles
farther before We reach our destina-
ton"
1t will be seen from the foregoing
examples that the word further" Is
TO be used when the writer or speaker
intends to give the idea Of quantity,
or degree, and the word farther"
when the application Is to actual dis
lance. Thus, do not say "San Fran
cisco Is further from New York than
Chicago is,' but farther from New
York" In the language OF the gram
marians. farther is the comparative
Of far" and further is derived from
the old Anglo-Saxon word fore"
