When Moisture Comes
Will Your Beet Seed be Planted

A dry condition of the soil is reported from many
OF the beet-raising districts served by this company.
Many growers will recall the dry springs of 1909.
1913 and 1922. The lessons of those years of drouth
emphasize the need now of:
EARLY planting.
Economical and timely use of
available irrigation water.
9Cultivation after every shower
or irrigation.
illumination of weeds.
@Avoidlng crust and evaporation by
keeping a loose, surface mulch.
EARLY BEET SEED HAS THE
BEST CHANCE OF CATCHING SOME NATURAL
RAINFALL.
With rains normally coming in April, implanted
fields will be further delayed.
Therefore, where soils will now work up into a
good seed bed it is better to prepare and plant them
than to wait for moisture before sowing the beet seed.
Where moisture is lacking in the topsoil it is important,
before planting, to firm the seed bed to induce rising
OF available subsol! moisture.
AFTER PLANTING EXAMIN THE BEET FIELD
FOLLOWING EVERY SHOWER AND TAKE PRO-
PER MEASURES TO PREVENT OF
CRUST.
Crust before the Seeding appears above ground is a
rife source of poor stands and reduced yields. The
quicker the seeding breaks through the surface after
terminating the better will be the prospect of a good
stand.
AMI AFTER YOU OBTAIN A COOL GERMIN-
ATED STAND SEE THAT THE HAND WORK is
DONE TO YOU A HIGH-YIELDING PROS
PECT In H BLOCKED AND THINNED STAND.
The company is now enlisting the cooperation of the
contract workers in an effort to improve the blocking
~ to Ia inches and to leave the large, healthy plant.
One ton average higher yield per acre is obtainable
from better hand work on the beet crop. IF III
VERAG NINA PER ACRE COULD BE IN
CREASED BY N TON IT WOULD MEAN AS
MUCH TO H GROWER AS AN INCREASE OF
SO CENTS PER OR MORE IN H BEET

Predict Veterans Will
Seek State Home Care

I'm few years predict American
Legion officials of Lincoln, Neb.,
World war veterans will ask admis-
sion in great numbers to state homes,
and states throughout the country will
have to make proper provision for
them" The government has adequate
facilities to care for INDECENT and help
less veterans at present, say the Lee
gionnares, but later the state will
have to supplement government aid.
This prediction was made in the
face of a survey revealing that there
are fewer soldiers in state homes in
Nebraska now than there were in 1921.
Deaths among the veterans of the
Civil war account for the decrease, the
Legionnaires point out. Within a few
years World war veterans will be
clamoring to enter the state homes,
they maintain.

Old Chronicle Tells of
Washington as Fireman

George Washington was once fire.
man, says the Detroit News. At least
he presented the volunteer company Of
Alexandria, Va, with fire engine. NJ.
b. Levick, writing in st. Nicholas, de-
scribes this incident in the life of the
father of our country as follows:
Washington presented the engine
in 1775 to the Friendship fire COM
pany. That was almost a hundred
years before there were paid firemen.
In those days the fire fighting was done
by volunteers, who belonged to differ
ent companies, just as it ia today in
small towns When a fire was dis
covered a big bell was rung and at the
signal the members of the volunteer
company came running from wherever
they were; they hauled out the engine
and dragged it, with a score of men
tugging at long rope, to the fire, and
then fell to work for all they were
worth, making the pump handles go up
and down like Seesaw. The Friend
ship fire company was organized on
August 10, 1774, the year before Wash
ington bought the engine for it, and is
still in existence, although now Alex
andria has paid fire department The
engine is there yet, and on special ocea-
sions it is brought out by the Friend
ship Veterans Fire association
