was then set as the date OF Ruth's
probable return to the diamond.
This latest development means
that the Yankees must undertake
an important Western trip without
the services of the great man and
glance at the standing Of the
clubs is sufficient to convince any
one that they need him now as
they never did before. For some
reason, the Yankees have taken
Ruth's loss more to heart than
on previous occasions and have
folded up like a portable tent.
In 1922 they played better ball
without Ruth and Meusel for the
first six weeks of the season, than
they did after the return of the
two stars. This time they have
simply collapsed all over the situa-
ton, probably because they haven't
enjoyed the pitching they had sew

Big Noise Due Tonight in
Bowling Tournament at
King Pin

The grand noise of the Capital
City Duckpin Association tourna-

due tonight. It will be District

scores of the city's experts will
shoot. 1t means, too, that exist
ing high marks in the tourna-
ment will be smashed.
A flock of singles at 7:3O
o'clock, a squad of teams at s
and a squad of doubles at 10
o'clock constitute the program
and each event glitters with bril-
laint bowling stars.
Curb Cafe, twice champion of
the District League, is scheduled
on alley No. %. In all, ten
teams will represent the big
Arthur Urban. perhaps the most
successful tournament bowler in
Washington, will perform on alley
No. 25 in the singles. In the same
squad, on alley No. So, will be Al
Works., who shot the biggest game
ever seen on a Washington alley.
Works startled the bowling world
with a score of 206 rolled in an

rant.
1t might be noted that the dcvel-
opment of picking cucumbers, of
seed peas and of Great Northern
beans. is progressing hand in hand
with the development of sugar beets,
both on the Lower Yellowstone and
Billings Projects. The labor used in
beet production is able to care for
these other crops during seasons
when the beets need little or no at
tention.
In addition to the new beet mill
now under construction at Sidney,
sailing watts are being constructed by
the Gcdncy Company of Minneapo
liss Five hundred acres of irrigated
picking cucumbers are being grown
on the Lower Yellowstone Project,
over half of them on the North Da-
kota Division. Of 1900 acres of seed
peas contracted for on this project,
1900 will produced on the North
Dakota Division.
The sugar beet acreage has been in
creased over 800 during the pres
ent season, the beet acreage of the
entire project now amounting to APP
proximately 5000 acres as against
$500 acres last year and 3,1O0 acres
for 1923.
Mr.. Milhiser stated that $50 men
are now employed in the construc-
ton of the sugar plant at Sidney and
that on the completion of the plant
from 200 to 300 men would be en-
ployed in it's operation. "Thc town
Of Sidney" he remarked, sis now ex-
periencing marked period of pros

farmers and business men from other
section visit this project and see TO,

SUGAR BETS

IN N. D. URGED
Holly Sugar Company Man
ager Discusses Beet Raising
on Yellowstone Project

According to Mr.. G. S. Milhiscr,
manager of the new Sidney, Montana
plant of the Holly Sugar Company of
Colorado Springs, Colorado. the new
plant now in the course of construc-
ton will have to go afield for sugar
beets to meet it's needs. Mr.. Mil
hiser stated that the Sidney plant
would have a daily capacity of 1900
tons, which is sufficient to accomo-
date the expected yield Of 10000
acres of sugar beets. Under proper
crop rotation conditions from 49,
600 to $1,000 acres of beets will be
the limit of production on the Low
err Yellowstone Project for some time
to come.
Mr.. Milhiser stated that his Com
pany would absorb the freight rates
of the Bismarck Mandan territory to
Sidney, except possibly so to 60 cents
per ton, the entire freight rate being
approximately; $2.10 per ton. He al
so stated that this same offer, with
possibly some slight changes due to
local freight rates, would apply to
the Mouse River territory in the vi
cinity of Minot and Towner.
Mr.. Milhiser and numerous others
have cautioned against over-optimism
concerning the production of dry
land sugar beets in this district. He
cited the fact that up to the middle
of August the sugar beet farmer has
expended for labor and seed an
amount approximately fifteen dollars
per acre. If water is not applied
when needed the tonnage per acre
is very much reduced, making the
return insufficient to warrant the
growing of sugar bcets on a CONNER
cial scale. According to the official
crop report, cry land beets grown on
the Lower Yellowstone Project last
year under the most favorable rain
fall conditions in several years yield
ed about 30 tons per acre as against
81 tons per acre average and maxi
mum yield of 81 tons per acre for ir-
rigated beets.
Mr.. Milhiser advised that in the

planted on overlooked lands or low.
