are Of prime Importance in the selec-
ton and preparation of the ground.
For example, the soil should be we'll
drained and at the same time it should
be capable of holding a sufficient
amount of moisture for the needs of
the beets. Even the so-called muck
soils will produce good beets if they
are well drained and properly worked.
On the other hand, the loamy soils
will sometimes produce very poor
crops if not well drained or if other
wise improperly handled by working
when too wet or too dry.
Hardpan soils should be avoided,
especially if they are so near the sur
face that they will interfere with the
proper growth and development of the
roots. Very porous or gravely SUBJ
soils which permit teaching will not
give the best results with sugar beets
any more than with other crops.
The field selected should be reason
ably free of weeds, as extreme foul
ness of ground adds very materially
to the cost eff. growing beets. The
field. too, must be kept free of weeds
l. satisfactory results are to be OBJ
tsined ct all.
Other things being equal, an aver
age temperature of 70 degrees F. dur
ing the growing season, which is usu-
ally from May to September, inclusive,
will give the best results so far as
the sugar content of the .beetS is con-
cerned. With high temperature the
sugar does not seem to form readily,
and if the temperature is too low the
beets do not grow well and the ton
mage is correspondingly low. Spring
and fall temperatures, too, have much
to do with the success or failure of
beet culture.
Favorable for Sugar.
Cold nights and moderately warm
days in the latter part of summer and
in the fall are most favorable for the
storage of sugar in the beets. The
great danger from extreme cold in the
fall is that the beets may be frozen
in the ground. Growers should aim
TO get their beets out Of the ground
and delivered to the sugar company
or protected from the cold before
freezing weather sets in. If the roots
themselves freeze after they are har-
vested, no great damage will result,
provided they remain frozen until they
are worked through the mill, but if
they alternately freeze and thaw, they
will soon blacken, decay and become
worthless for sugar-making purposes.
Frozen beets should not be put into
the factory sheds with the expectation
of leaving them for any length of time,
as they will certainly spoil. The. only
safe way is to get the beets out of the
ground before they freeze and put suf-
ficient covering over them so that they
will not be frosted.
Two important points in blowing for
sugar beets should be kept in mind,
namely, the time and depth. Expert
ence has shown that the best results
are generally obtained by blowing for
beets in the fall. Taking advantage
of this fact, the beet grower will try
to arrange his work and his crop ro-
tation so that he can pillow his beet
ground in the fall, provided the soil
and weather conditions will permit.
1t has been demonstrated that deep
blowing, especially Of the heavier soils,
II done in the fall, win give the best
results Tor sugar beets. II the soil Is |

History Continuous.

There are, of course, no beginnings
or ends in history. We may walk for
a few miles by the side of a river,
noting its shadows and its rapids, the
gorges which confine it and the plains
through which it meanders; but we
know that we have seen neither the be-
ginning nor the end of its course, that
the whole river has an unbroken con-
tinuity, and that sections, whether of
space or time. are purely arbitrary.
We are always sowing our future; we
are always reaping our past.-Dean
w. R. Inge. in "Outspoken Essays"

Memories Perpetuated by Lamps.

A curious custom exists among the
natives of the island of Raiatea (the
chief island of the Leeward group Of
the Society islands) to preserve the
memory of deceased relatives. In the
large church at Uturoa, the principal
settlement ON that island, will be seen
a great number of brass hanging lamps
hanging from brackets all about the
building. Each of these has been pre-
sented by some native family In men,
DRY of some beloved member Of the
clan who had died, and they consti-
tute a memorial, such as a bronze
tablet or a stained-glass window would
represent in European countries.

II Is told how sailors of the Span

as mascots and actually to play with
Cortez, the conqueror of Mexico, en-.
tering the court of the king Monte
yuma, on the evening of November 8,
1919, found the whole court seated on

CARE REQUIRED FOR CHICKS
Where Confined Young Fowls Must Be
Given Greens and Animal Feeds,
Also Exercise.

Confined quarters increase the
amount of work required to raise
chicks. If attempted, the care differs
from that of range chicks, in that
greens and animal foods must be pro-
vided, also exercise. II too closely
confined, it is almost impossible to
grow chicks at a profit, even with the
most constant and faithful care.

To see a youngster reading in the

Protestant bodies. In one of the larg est cities on the Pacific coast an flu. minated Cross that is seen for miles is displayed. On a prominent Bap tist church in the same city the Cross is conspicuous part of the archi lecture. Christianity without the Cross is an empty shell. Around ii clings the hope Of uncounted millions in all parts of the earth. It is the emblem of Faith and has been the comfort of thousands when all earthly power has failed.
 To take that emblem and do yio- lence to it is not merely to destroy or to insult an inanimate figure that has been fashioned from the elements of the earth-it is to treat with con- tempt a figure that typifiies a great idea; that dishonors the symbol of hundreds of millions of the best peo- pie who have ever walked this earth.
 One can pity the fool who would in his ignorance attempt to destroy something that is the Rock of Ages: one can pity the man who by shutting his eyes to good imagines that all things are evil; but what can you say to an organization that has no respect for it's constitution or it's government which gives every man the right to worship in his own way.

INSANE RIGOTRY.

A few days ago in an Indiana con- munity number of men wearing the white hoods and gowns of the K. K. K. wrested a cross from a Catholic church in small town and carrying lit to place of rendezvous set it on fire and burned it.
 They did this, they stated, to show their contempt for a religious organi- zation that displays the Cross as an emblem of it's faith in Christianity.
 An act of this kind is hard to ex- plain to the normal mind. It is ut terly without defense or excuse. It is not only sacriligious but it is dis playing the same kind of bigotry and unreason that led the founder of the Christian religion before biased court, compelled a weak Roman tri- bunal to pass Judgment, and sacri- feed His precious life on a hurriedly erected Cross outside the walls of Je- rusalem.
 Not alone does the Catholic church in America make use of the Cross as an emblem of religious faith, but it is used by Episcopals and many other

cannery. About May 1st they moved to the Northwestern Fisheries Com pany's cannery where, they will re- main until the steamer Starr makes it's first trip to Nushagak.
 Miss Stella Fuller, the Denalo Red Cross nurse has been working in this section for the past week. She re- turned to Seward on the Starr.
 The Annie, a gas boat owned by Pete Peterson, was dashed on the rocks Saturday night. She was later 1 hauled off and placed on the beach I for repairs.
 The Victoria arrived in Chignik via outside passage April P, bringing crews and supplies for the canneries here and for the whaling station at Akutan.
 The freighter Del Rosa came in Friday with live stock, sheep, pigs and chickens for the Northwestern Fish cries. On her return from the west ward she will leave more supplies for the canneries.
 Capt John Brotkob, superintendent of the cannery operated by the North western Fisheries company has one hundred men, mostly Orientals, mak- ing cans for the season at the rate of 100000 cans per day. Salmon fishing will begin about the middle of June.
 Mr. Lemuel Wingard and MT. Chas. Pesry of the U. s. Bureau of Fisher ies, have arrived in Chignik. Mir. Pe- try will be stationed here until the latter part of December. Mir. Win gard will travel on the peninsula un- til August or September.
 The natives from Perryville will be coming to Chignik soon to work ln the cannery. Mrs. Fred Tait, who has been teaching at Perryville, will have charge of the native school at Chig- nig this summer.
 Duck hunting is a favorite sport at Chignik. Hunters go out in the morning and bring back twenty or thiny.
 The Tonawanda, large sailing ves- sel owned by the Columbia River Packing company was brought into Chignik on April 26th by the steamer Starr. The Tonawanda came from San Francisco bringing the crew and supplies for the cannery. Capt. James Osmond, superintendent, and wife, have been at Chignik for three weeks. About twenty men have been work ing getting ready for the season.

than residents, what about the pro- posed tax of $15 on alien fishermen, and $1 on local residents; why charge a nonresident hunter $100 and allow the resident to hunt for nothing? Be- cause we need the revenue, and resi- dents have been taxed to the limit.
 Unless this tax or revenue is raised from the vast resources of the Terri tory, resources which are rapidly be- ing footed by Outside capital, resi- dents of Alaska will be forced to pay greater taxes to meet expenses. Why not make our resources pay all taxes and absolve the resident altogether? Our fish alone should keep our home government financed amply to meet all obligations.
 The Gateway believes in being fair to Outside cannery concerns; but it also believes in being fair to local capital, vainly striving to get foot hold in Alaska. It believes that Out side capital should be protected by sane laws from radicalism. There is no question but that many companies leave much money in the Third divi- sion, especially around Chignik and Kodiak island. Many of these con- cerns have enormous sums invested, and any sudden or radical change in expenses cause them to lose money.
 But The Gateway maintains that the fish belong to Alaska, and that the legislature should have the right to change any laws governing the of these resources as may seem beneficial to the Territory at large. Its chief concern is not for the powerful and wealthy outside compa- nies, but rather for the small home concerns.

BURDENS SHOULD BE EXACTLY
 EQUAL.

The rule make the outside man pay, will not bring capital to Alaska People who live in the States will not want to invest in Alaska just for the privilege of bearing the cost of the government and all public improve ments here. Outside capital should bear its just share of the cost of gov ernment and all public improvements here. Outside capital should bear it's just share of the cost of government and no more. It should be taxed ex- actly upon the same basis as local capital.
 On the other hand, it would be a good thing all around if those on the Outside who have interests in Alaska would cause more of their owners and high officials to live in the Territory. If they would, it would go long way toward alleviating any prejudices that might exist in the Territory against them, and it would facilitate the education of the people of the North as to the needs and hazards of the industries in which they and their capital are engaged.-Juneau Empire.
 The above article is the reply of the Juneau Empire to an editorial in the Gateway advocating taxation of home canneries at a less rate than those paid by Outside canneries. The En- pire takes exception to the sentiment expressed believing that Alaskan con- cerns should pay as much, or more as the case now stands, than those from the Outside.
 The idea is not original with The Gateway, but is taken from the fact that the states of Washington, Ore gon and California, which are now so strenuously opposing the increase in cannery taxes, have these same laws on their statute books If the editor of the Empire lived in Alaska and attempted to do business in either Of those states he would quickly be disabused of his equal rights" ideas. A nonresident pays more every time He pays more for a fish license, for a hunting license, for license to do business where he would not operate for longer period each year than do the canneries; he would pay more taxes for being a nonresident, and would certainly not be allowed to pay less than the residents of those states.
