highest yield in tons per acre of tared beets reported from is 24 tons pounds and the lowest tons pounds The percentages of sugar as given in the above tables are not to be averaged for the entire season They are to be taken simply to represent the average content of sugar in beets from a given number of plots upon given dates The difference in these percentages of sugar upon differ ent dates are influenced largely by two factors first maturity of the beet second tendency of a second growth to start caused usually- by a rain fol lowed by warm weather In a few days all the reports will have

Aylmer grow steadily from Oc tober on till Nov and those about like those at Newmar ket grew apparently none after Oct These facts partly account for the percentages of sugar ln Newmarket and beets remaining fairly constant while those in beets tend to slightly decrease It was particularly dry about and during June and July then fairly- wet with high temperature during August and early autumn Such weather conditions are not so favorable for a firstclass sugar beet crop as warmth and moisture in spring and summer followed by fair cool weather in autumn Had the been grown as man golds arc in drills to 30 inches apart and to inches apart in the drill much lower percentages of sugar and a lower purity would certainly have resulted Among our Experi menters there were several who failed to cultivate according to directions but who adhered to the methods long practised by farmers and encouraged by pur exhibitions for growing large roots The following table shows the of such cultivation

proud distinction of be ing one of the brightest and best local papers in the country The old adage that people will hov er lock the stable till Uie horse is stolen can be said of the little town of Hanover that suffered such a loss about a week ago when the magnifi cent factory owned by the Knechtcl Furniture Company went up in smoke The people- had been urged time and again to put in a fire protection but it was voted down every time and strange as it may seem by the very men who were making a living by working in the factories they have got their eyes opened at last tho at a terrible

speakers workers on committees and the other paraphernalia of an electoral cam paign Certain women stumpers showed- almost equal indefatigability and endurance with the men AS a rule they worked in separate grooves though on many occasions mass meet ings of men and women voters were addressed by men and women orators Women went also from these States to the national nomination meeting of either party How representative this campaign activity was of whole body of women voters it is hard to arrive at The vote polled how ever was undoubtedly conwderable In Wyoming women cast about of votes In
