Some fancy turkey eggs come as

The grasshopper is a real menace

Cnnv uvONrNrc-THE LAST
AND THE BEST OF THE WEST.
, 1923-05-30

From observations made in several districts where thinning of
beets is in progress, it appears that a much better job could be
done in most instances.
The difficulty apparently is in lack of persistent instruction
and supervision on the part of the growers.
The thinning seen so far is no better than in former years,
whereas an improvement was hoped for this season.
Inlnany fields visited the thinners were leaving uneven stands
Spacing generally exceeded the desired ideal of a beet for every
foot of row.. The hand workers were unquestionably cutting
out too many beets in many cases.
Cultivation also was badly needed in most fields. Recent
rains have formed serious crusts.
Meanwhile the beets are growing at a rapid pace and where no
start has been made to begin thinning at the right time thin
ming will have to be crowded from now on if the work is to be
done to the best advantage for good yields.
Filedmen having from 100 to 200 growers each can not see
the thinning work much oftener than once a week, whereas the
grower should see what his labor is accomplishing several times
a day, if possible.
An average job of thinning should not satisfy growers this
season. But whether they obtain better work than the ave-
rage rests largely upon the growers themselves.

We believe 1T can be successfully

Men are still susceptible to that

mands not only well conceived and
dignified forms for it's expression. but
fit and noble buildings in which to
give this expression its noblest and
finest setting. This is more largely
true of Washington than of any city
in the nation. To the capital we may
reasonably look for that which wit
nesses to the highest and noblest ex-
preston of our spiritual ideals.
The cathedral should ultimately
come to be the logical center for
those pronouncements that express
our highest obligations not only to
the world. No other building in Wash

spaciousness and dignity. and all that

The Capital of the Nation
By the Rt. Rev. James E. Freeman, D. D..
Bishop of Washington.

(Fron, q souvenir pamphlet dis
tribnted at the conservation Sert1ces
for Bishop Freeman at Epiphany
Church toddy)
AS Lafayette surveyed from the
n heights of Arlington the site Sc
lected for the Capital of the United
States of America, he declared that 1t
outrivaled for situation any great
capital of the world. Could the dis
tinguished Frenchman view the site
from the same vantage point today
his enthusiasm and admiration would
be ouickened and intensified. We of
America have perhaps given scant
heed to the splendors of our Capital.
Too frequently we have regarded 1t
as the center of our political action.
without fully sensing its vast signffi-
canoe and importance as one OF the
mightiest factors in the worlds civili-
zation.
When the world war came Wash
ington assumed larger place In the
affections of our people than ever be-
fore. Since the close of the war the
eyes of the peoples of all nations nave
been focused upon Washington, as
Quite apart from it's significance as
the seat Of our federal government. 1t
is rapidly coming to be, from an
architectural and artistic STANDPOINT,
one of the most beautiful cities IN
the world. The visitor to Washington
is greatly impressed as he views its
wide avenues with their overarcning
trees, but he is still more impressed
as he notes the dignity and simple
beauty of many of its outstanding

classic Treasury building, the superb
Lincoln Memorial. the soaring Wash
ington shaft, and the unpretentfous
but strangely appealing Wnite Rouse
register the ever-developing and ad-
vancing growth OF our people aiong
artistic lines. Well has this city been
called the Shrine of the nation, for
here may be found. as In no other
city on this continent, those things
that appeal to the imagination and
that satisfy yearning for the beauti-
fuI. The glory of this city is that it
is conceived and developed along the
lines of a well ordered plan.
America still owes great debt TO
LEnfant for the amazing skill VITA
which he laid out on spacious lines
her Capital city. True, Washington
is by no means a finished city. The
past twenty-five years have seen a
notable advance in its enrichment,
and. probably more than any other
period, witnesses to clearer under
standing Of the designs of those who
MANNED il. Probably more considera-
tion and skill are being disclosed to-
day in making this city thing of
beauty than have been witnessed In
any other period of its history. A
special committee of experts super
yises and directs every large plan that
has to do with the enrichment OF the
city.
In all the great capitals of the
cid world, there have been erected
not only monumental buildings for
the administration OF governmental
affairs. but among the more COM
manding and outstanding of them, a
great temple rises to be the con-
spicuous witness of the spiritual
ideals and aspirations of the people.

recognizes and honors. Within its
walls should assemble from, time to
time bodies that have to do with
the most momentous issues, national
and international. 1t should stand as
the finest expression not only of our
Christian faith, but Of our spirit of
democracy and universal brotherhood.
Ultimately. II should become the
place of sepulture for our great anu
honored dead. No building in Eng
land Is more tenderly cherished than
Wes minister Abbey, not alone be-
cause 1t is a building of rare artistic
beauty, but because 1t is hallowed by
memories of associations that have
become sacred to the people of Great
Britain The great Washington Ca
thedral is designed for like purpose.
and certainly there is no building in
America more properly placed for
m EN- orials to our worthy distinguish
ed men and women than this great
cathedral.
Apart from this. we believe it will
be witness in itself to all that is inn
piled in the term, "Americanism."

the expression OF our material wealth

we submit that it is not sufficient In

people, and in an incredibly short
space of time we have come to rank
as one of the foremost powers in the
world. With our increase Of wealth
and influence there has come a cor
responding increase in our responsi-
bility to the sisterhood of nations
Surely, In our Capital City, there
should be that which should be wit
ness to our unfailing confidence in
Him in whose hands are the issues
of life.
Americanism connotes more than
money power or man power. 1t inter
prets to our consciousness all that is
implied in living faith in living
God. The Washington Cathedral is to
be the greatest expression of this
faith, the finest and truest interpreter
of Americanism at its best.
