It is in charge of the department of chemistry, North Dakota Agricul tural Experiment station, and in a bulletin just issued, J. W. Ince tells the results of the trials during 1914. This bulletin is No. 113 and can be obtained by making a request at the chemistry department, North Dakota Agricultural college. During 1914 the division of agricul tural chemistry of the North Dakota Experiment station continued the su gar beet trials which have been in progress for the past three years in this state. The trials this season were carried on in co-operation with the agronomy division of the experiment station, the five sub-stations, and eighty-seven farmers scattered over the state. From these co-operators there were submitted a total of 106 samples, ninety-four from the experi ment station and the sub-stations, and twelve from farmers. The result of the analysis of these samples and in formation regarding the cultural treatment and the climatic conditions under which the beets were grown are given in the present report. The samples generally seemed to be of satisfactory quality and condition, comparing most favorably in these re spects with those grown in previous years. Some of the beets, however, had started second growth, which lowered the supply of sugar already in the beet. Another factor which might possibly have tended to lower the percentage of sugar was the superabundance of ground space al lowed the beets while growing. The rows were usually from 30 to 36 inch es apart and the beets 8 to 10 inches apart in the row. In sugar beet dis tricts the usual conditions allowed are rows about 24 inches apart and beets about 8 inches apart in the row. The conditions of growth for the beets de scribed in the present report would allow them 'to attain a larger size than that desired. The year's work developed into a more critical study of eight varieties at the experiment station and on the sub-stations at Edgeley and Williston. All of these varieties had been grown in the previous year, so that an op portunity was thus afforded to study their record which seem to exhibit a superiority in regard to the amount of sugar in the beet are as follows: Nos. 1, 2, 8, 4, 5, 6, 7, 11. For the year 1918 these seven varieties had the fol lowing standing in the order of high est percentage near, 5, 11, 8 and 4 fflf'ssssJr sggig of any note in His taxes..

For the year 1914 the order was 3, 4, 7, 1, 2, 5, 11. Assign ing arbitrary values to these posi tions it will readily be seen that, as an average of the two years, the varie ties that have been the best record are 3, 4, and 5, in the order stated. These are found to be Klein Wanzleben Orig inal, and the strains of the Wohanka variety. The variety used at Billings, Mont., comes next to these three in order of standing. Another phase of sugar beet trials was also undertaken, namely, the ef fect of the length of the growing sea son upon the sugar content of the beets. At each station one variety was planted twice, the second date following two weeks after the first, and all the varieties were harvested three times with an interval of two weeks between the harvesting dates. The samples from all the stations in creased steadily in sugar content from the first to the third harvesting, with the single exception of the third series from the experiment station. These samples were quite inferior to the others from this locality for a number of reasons. Late rains had induced second growth, the beets were, larger than those of the other two series, and they had apparently not been chosen as carefully in the field. It is interesting to note that the second planting of one variety at the Williston sub-station gave beets of better quality than the first plant ing for all three of the harvestings. The samples from the sub-station at Williston were of excellent quality, increasing from an average of nearly 18 per cent to 20 per cent sugar in the month of extra growth. This is all the more important since the average weight or size of the beets in the sam ples also increased. Usually, with other conditions equal, the larger the beet the lower the percentage of su gar. This year's trials at the Wil liston sub-station confirm the results of previous years, namely that the soil and climatic conditions are ad mirably suited for sugar beet pro duction. In view of the fact that the year's work was principally upon the sam ples from the experiment station and the sub-stations at Edgeley and Wil liston, a further study was made of all the samples and trials reported for these stations in the past five years. -For commercial purposes a beet of over 12 per cent sugar content corres ponding to 12.5 to 13.5 per cent sugar in the juice, at least 80 per cent pur ity. and which weighs between one and four pounds, is considered the most desirable. The contracts of most sugar companies with the farm ers are based on these figures, but at times variations from them are ac cepted. With these facts in mind one may form an opinion of the manuI facturing tabulated data.

Someone in Montana from around Wagner, giving their name as J. B. Cross wrote to E. C. Carney about a loan on the Nels Erickson farm near Bonetrail, claiming that Mr. Erick son wanted the loan. They only ask ed for three or four hundred dollars. After looking the land up papers were sent out and they came back signed in Erickson's name. They were filed and the money forwarded. Last week F. P. Bergman got an application for a loan on the Mothers baugh farm. Everything looked fine but Mr. Bergman happened to ask Judge Butler about the land. He told him it was a good farm but said that Mothersbaugh was in town so Mr. Bergman hunted him up. When he mentioned the loan he informed Mr. Bergman that he had not made an application for a loan at all. That he did not need any. It seems the parties working this scheme had a record of who was here and who not. They made the applica tions in the name of the men who had clear farms and who were away. Mothersbaugh was away for two or three years and just returned, for tunately for our loan men. Other land men in the city have had letters from this same J. B. Cross and it would seem that he was in for a land office business in this grafting game. SUBMARINE SAID Adriatic Convoyed by Warships Passengers said that from the time the Adriatic sailed at 2 o'clock on the afternoon of August 25 until 9 o'clock the next morning she was con voyed by three British torpedo boat destroyers. German Change Kept Secret London, Sept. 3.—The German pub lic has been kept in ignorance of any concession to the United States con cerning submarine warfare, according to the London Times, which asserts that German newspapers of Saturday and Sunday make no mention of a change in policy and refer only briefly to the Arabic case. The British admiralty's revelation regarding the loss of many sub marines also has been concealed from the German public, the Times asserts. Berlin, Sept 3.—(by wireless to Tuckerton, N. J.)—The Overseas News agency says: "Several German newspapers hint that if the American passengers on the Arabic did not pay for their pass age it probably was paid for by the British government to enable them to travel to and fro as a protection of British ships carrying munitions of war. "The newspaper also calls attention to the fact that the British govern ment at the outbreak of the Russo Japanese yy&T warned its subjects not to travel -on ships of the belligerent parties', because the government would be' Unable to guarantee their safety or hold any one responsible in case they were lost." DYNAMITE EXPLODES IN HAND Ralph Myers had a very narrow es cape last week when three pounds of dynamite which he held in his hands exploded. His hands were badly torn and his hearing and eyesight injured. He was brought to the hospital and has recovered being able to leave yes terday. Mr. Myers was drilling wells and was planning on dropping a shot in the well to burst some rocks that interfered with the work. He had the three pounds in his hands when it exploded. How he escaped instant death is a wonder. A large hole was blown in the ground where he stood. A peculiar thing about the accident was the fact •that the backs of Myers hands were iniured much more than the palms. His hands have improved and he will be able to have the use of them. His sight and hearing have also improved, his sight more rapidly than his hear ing. 1 Trials have been carried on for 12 separate years at indefinite periods, beginning in 1899. In 1911 experiI mental work was started anew and continued intensively until 1814. WORKING FOR ADDITIONAL POWER The water users under the Willis ton project have signed up enough land to guarantee the use of water for 1916 as far as they are concerned. The Board of Review set the limit I as 3000 acres and this has been sign ed up already. The Senior Board I however wants a definite report as to the acreage and also a report as to the amount of electrical energy which the city will use next year. This WlLLreTON GRAPHIC TOGETEOAN WORK SCHEME TO GET LOAN UPON LAND—ONE LOAN SE CURED—OTHER STOPPED TO BE CAPTIVE OFFICER OF ADRIATIC SAYS HE KNOWS U-BOAT WAS CAUGHT IN NET New York, Sept. 3.—An officer of the White Star liner Adriatic, which arrived from Liverpool yesterday, de clared that the German submarine which sunk the Arabic was caught in a steel net and the U-boat's crew were prisoners in England. He added- that within the past sixty days the British have captured no less than fifty Ger man submarines. Positive of Capture After stating a positively that the submarine which torpedoed the Arabic had been captured, the officer said that he could not, for obvious reasons, disclose the place of capture nor detail the circumstances He said, however, that the U-boat was of the latest and largest type in the Ger man navy and that the craft carried a double crew. He understood that the Germans now manned all "Of the large submarines with an auxiliary crew for training purposes. port theyv)plaijp must be in the hands 6f the board'by the first of October. They want some assurrance from the city as to the amount of electrical energy they will use next year. It would seem that now would be the jroper time to start a campaign for 'iqensed consumption. 'PLAYED AT FAIR Mr. Perkins, our fifer, entertained the crowds at the county fair last week, playing several selections on the fife. He is always greeted with rounds of applause when he appears and the fife and drum music seems to stir the blood as nothing else can. ORATORICAL AND NERVY. An Old Cobbler Who Won a Laugh and Favors From Napoleon. On Napoleon's arrival at Mars-la Tours the mayor, a farmer, tried in vaiii to uiaUe the speech he had pre pared. Bowing and scraping, he stood fascinated by Bonaparte's scrutinizing black eyes—an unhappy squirrel in the gaze of the rattlesnake. Close behind the trembling mayor stood an old shoemaker, in figure a true Don Quixote, clad in hts working dress. "Why dou't yon speak, you fool?" he muttered from time to time to his leader. At last his patience gave way. lie pushed the mayor aside, advanced, with his left hand removed his greasy cotton nightcap, with hia right lifted the horn spectacles from his nose, made his bow and delivered the oration: "Emperor, you are on your way to thrash the Prussian rogues once more. I hope soon to see you re turn crowned with glory, and I have nothing more to say. but that ^aesar and Alexander were botches in com parison with you." The emperor laughed and Inquired of the old man whether he had any sons. "Yes four are in the army—two of these in the guards." Their names were taken down, and the honest shoe maker soon saw them raised to the rank of officers and found himself pro vided with a comfortable pension. We'd rather like to hit it off at that new Fort Sheridan training camp ourself if we could be captain right from the jump.

Of every million people 800 are blind—and the other 999,200 cannot see their own faults. It has always been a mystery to us that a young lady should make some poor fellow believe that she is inter ested in his welfare when as a matter of fact she is interested only in his farewell. The editor of this paper has a warm place in his heart for the friends who bring or send in news items. It is the desire of this paper to give all the news of the time and those who lend us their assistance to that end have our unbounded gratitude. A friend at our elbow suggests^ that the best way to head off the mail or der houses is for the local merchants to advertise liberally and get the trade themselves. It does look reas onable. All of the successful mail or der houses are heavy advertisers and if they can make it pay why not the local merchant? When that merry little bell clangs at a grade crossing and that merry little red light begins to dance in the dark you had better stop your ma chine and find out what it is about. These automatic warnings work, but, like all warnings, they are worthless if not heeded. Every school boy knows that a kite will not fly unless there is a string tying it down. It is just so in life. The man who is tied d:xr by half a dozen blooming responsibilities and his mother will make a higher and stronger flight than the bachelor who having nothing to keep him steady, is always floundering in the mud. If you want to ascend in the world, tie yourself to somebody. Let us cultivate a public spirit and talk less and work more. Encourage our local authorities in making im provements. -Speak up, speak well, talk encouragingly of our town and its bright prospects. It is these many little considerations that makes a town grow. Nature has showered up on us her choicest blessings, and with perfect unity and effort for the good of our common cause, great tfill be the result. U. S.
