SOIL FERTILITY IN BEET PRODUCTION

Average below average production in growing
sugar beets will not return much it any profit to the
grower Heavy production is most essential with crop
where the overhead expenses are as high in growing
and marketing beets This brings to- the problem of
soil fertility which being stressed at the present time
in connection with increasing the net returns from sug
ar-beet production. se
Ii There have been some important developments the
last year two in the matter of soil fertilization for
beets Phosphorus is an important element in plant
growth and deficiency In phosphates is frequently
limiting factor in crop production test of phosphate
fertilizer was made in Wheatand Wyo beet field in
1927 The result yield of 1862 tons to the acre,
compared with 12.2 tons without the phosphate. Follow
ng this suggestion laboratory soil tests have since been
made of soils from hundreds of farms in Colorado, Wyo
ming Nebraska and Montana practically all indicating
deficiency in available phosphates
One of the functions of the soil is to supply plant
God to the growing crop The plant gets it's carbon from
the carbon dode gas taken from the air by the leaves
1t gets the mineral elements needed which must be in sol
bile FORM from the SOIL The three important minerals
the ntrates phosphates and potash Nitrogen makes
protein and forces seed and leaf development Phospho
develops strong root growth and hastens maturity,
while potash Is essential to the manufacture of starch in
e leaves and its transference to the fruits of the plant
All three Of the mineral elements collectively influence
plant growth No substitute for another and if
phosphorus is deficient In sugar beet soils to
be the CASE yields will be limited even though there may
be excess amounts of nitrates and potash
Barnyard manure has been the standard fertilizer
beet land and it would be impossible to get along
without it. but it does not supply enough phosphorus De-
cayng organic matter is of the greatest Importance in
any productive soil Soil is more than merely an inert
mixture ct mineral constituents resulting from the decay
Of rocks soil capable Of producing plant growth
tans live and decayng organic matter 1t is frequently
fleming with bacteria organic matter 1t is frequently
We might think of the soil as dynamic mass in which
the organic and Inorganic or mineral constituents in
the proper balance to produce maximum results

PARROTS AS PETS OR PESTS

An unfamiliar word psittacosis has been appearing
headlines since several of 1nalady diagnosed
parrot fever have caused illness and death among human
beings While the United States Public Health Service
is investigating the problem many an innocent Poll is
anguishing under cloud of suspicion. Some pet
have abandoned their parrots to die of cold and
starvation Such nhuman treatment is quite unneces
sary especially health authorities declare that the dis
is not epdempc and limited to parros recently
imported into this country. f
Out of the public scare has come one piece of sound
advice 1t is the warning of physicians mad public health
officers to refrain from handling pets of all kinds
much possible and to wash the hands thoroughly after
touching them their cage kennels.
Doctor Shirley w. Wynne, health commissioner Of
New York City has issued statement which has cpl
tomzing this warning, "In handling parrots should
bear in mind that the claws of the bird likely to be
soed and that after handling parrot should always
scrub the hands thoroughly.
This is a common sense measure that all can find it
practical to follow Further advice along this line is to
keep the pet animals and birds clean possible and to
exercise the regarding cages and baskets and
Kennels This is particularly pertinent since it is the be-
lief of medical authorities that nsanitary conditions
under which birds kept on the journey up from the
tropics may have relation to the development of
psttacoss.

ATTACKS ON SUPREME COURT

Those conservatives who Indignantly characterized
outrageous and unheard of the fourday attack in the
senate the qualifications of Charles Evans Hughes for
the position of chief justice with its accompanying crit
cism Of tendencies of the court ITSELF have but limited
knowledge of the history Of political debate and criticism
in this country There has been more aggressive attack
on the supreme court in the past. Il a.f
1t is pontedy observed that present day complaints
about the ruling of the court in regard to railway rates
and public utility charges like zephyrs compared with
the hurricane that blew after the bred Scott case after
the Mcan case after the slaughterhouse case, pacu
ary after the decision of the supreme court about the
civil rights and the ehoding unconstitutional the in
come tax.
We are reminded, for example, that the ordinarily
utraconserva New York Tribune said of decision
of the supreme court that M entitled to just much
moral weight would be the judgment of majority of
those congregated in any Washington barroom"
In regard to the courts ruling in the saughterhouse
United States senator declared that "the Amer
lean people will say that it is not law and cannot be law
But such outbursts have not been deplorabe in their
ultimate results The critics have felt better after
pressing themselves subsdng at least for the tme and
the court itself has doubt received benefit from the
searching reflection induced in the minds Of its mem

There will be, or should be- such results in the pres
en case and Mr. Hughes himself may possibly be more
inclined toward greater iberaty in judgment than he
might have been otherwise.The Great Falls Tribune,

COLLEGE-TRAINED FARMERS

survey has been made by 10 agricultural colleges
scattered throughout the United States to determine
to what extent they accomplishing their primary pur
pose to educate young who will their knowledge
in the scientific cultivation Of the SOIL
Of the graduates Of those schools only 278 percent
have returned to the farm managers owners tenants
Or skilled labor Fifty percent of Kansas graduates
turn to the soil but only eight out of every 100 of the Flor
ida graduates directly employ their knowledge in farm
ing. Leaving out the highest and lowest percentages
the average for the other states to be about 80 per-
cent .,re-
Tweny-four percent of all graduates take up teach
ing as their life work. others devote themselves to
search extension work and to business relating to ag
rculture The remainder enter other walks of life not
connected with farming.
While it is natural and perhaps desirable that relat
ed occupations such as the fertilizer industry the pack
ing business and commercial fruit production and mar
keting milling, dairying and agricultural journalism
should attract many of the graduates there is real
need for all of them back on the farm.
Scientific farming has proved itself capable Of ad-
vancng agriculture and curing farm ills for which
Congress is still seeking panacea.

Disdainful of Physicians

Disraeli affected TO regard all doc
tors with a sovereign disdain. writes
a columnist in the Manchester Guardi-
an. Gull is all froth and words he
declared at seventy-three. 'sThey are
all alike. First of all they throw it
on the weather; then there must. be a
change of scene; so Sir W. Jenner
after laundering and plundering in the
usual way, sent me to Bournemouth,
and Gull wants to send me to Ems; |
should like to send both of them to
Jericho" And Joseph Chamberain's
insistence that to go up to bed and to
come down again constituted exercise
enough for any man must have been
a sore trial to his doctors.

A Harmonious Montana G.. O.P.
(From Lewistown Democrat-News)

o. H. 2. Shelley of Red Lodge, who has an
nOunced his candidacy for the republican sena-
torial nomination, has had decidedly interest
ing, not to say spectacular career in Montana
politics and was at one time trifle persona non
grata to most of the Old-time leaders of the
state. That was when his A B C ticket stole
presidential primary from the old guard But
memories are short in this game, and it is to be
assumed that his little joke of other years has
been forgiven, if not forgotten.
While we adhere to the conviction that SEN
ator Walsh will be easily able to defeat any can
didate whom the opposition might bring forth,
we are willing to acknowledge that Editor Shell
ley has strong following among the common
people and is, moreover, possessed Of more than
the average amount of political acumen.
Such leaders as Schnitzler Brown, Rucker,
MILESTONE, Coca and Rankin will doubtless join
in preparing a program upon which he viii
make his campaign, and the only disquietude
which democrats will experience will come from
the knowledge of the harmony which will be re-
stored to the opposition after years of comfort
ing dissension

Ancient Builders Idea
of Humor Quite Modern

The builders of the old churches in
England were not so serious but that
they now and then perpetrated joke,
even in stone. On more than one OF
their creations they carved in relief
a scene representing a monk preach
Ing soIemnly to flock of geese. The
same humorous spirit is sometimes to
be detected in the domestic architec-
ture of early times.
Just upon the boundaries of Bed
yorkshire and Hertfordshire formerly
stood an old rambling farmhouse. The
living-room was long and low, and on
the center beam that went across the
ceiling was inscribed this legend IF
you are cold. go to Hertfordshire.
This seemingly inhospitable invita-
ton was explained by the fact that
one-half of the room was in one coun-
ty and one-haf in the other. The fire.
place was In Hertfordshire.

COMMERCE

Railroad records show that 473
carloads of products were handled in
and out of Fromberg during 1929.
Sugar beets, livestock, wheat, apples,
honey and brick were the principal
products exported while the leading
imports included lumber, flour, gaso-
line, corn, stock feed and cement.
When one considers that L. G. L.
shipments are not included in the list
some idea is obtained of the enormous
volume of business handled at that
station in the past year.
