' No one crossing the continent can
afford to cut Salt Lake City from his

Cars of the Orchard. ' '
The paBt year, with its unusual cli
matio conditions, has been marked by
a signal negleot of tillage operations in
the orohards of the state. One result
of this has been the formation of an ex
tra large amount of fruit wood and
buds, and under ordinary conditions,
next spring there will set a very much
greater amount of fruit than will be
best for both the interest of the tree
and the orchardist. The- orchard
should receive a judicious, yes, a.vig
ous pruning this winter, to the "end
that liberal thinning of fruit spurs shall
be had, otherwise the more expensive
work of hand thinning must be done or
else there will be produced a mass' of
small inferior friut for which no mar
ket can be found, and as too often oc
curs, the larger part of the crop be
comes a watae.
Now. is the time to make a thorough
examination of the trees; study the
various" systems of pruning ; and " the
ends they are sought to reaoh. Watch
the inseot and fungous foes and the
climatio effects upon the fruit and
foliage buds, and with the opening of
spring be prepared to give the orchard
a vigorous but judicious pruning and
j then follow this with generous tillage

SUGAR BEETS.
Conclusion From Experiments Con.
ducted by Oregon Agricultural Sta
'. tion Industry In Washington.
The Oregon agricultural experiment
station at Corvallis has issued a pam
phlet in which it presents the conclu
sions reached after five years of investi
gation concerning beet sugar produc
tion in Oregon. It says three sections
of the state , are exceptionally well
adapted to the industry, viz.: Union
county in the vicinity of La Grande;
Malheur county, in.the vicinity, of On
tario, and Arcadia; Jackson county, in
the violnity of Medford, possessing' as
it does a large area capable of produc
ing ' a very large supply of ; beets.
Water, fuel and limestone . are ' easily
and oheaply obtainable in each lo
cality. ,;s-v:i .. "' V"
The most serious obstacle in any of
these localities is the limited number
of people available for field help at
short notice, especially would this be
true in Malheur county. ; . -
Western Oregon is, not well adapted
to the industry on account of the early
fall rains and a soil which is very
heavy and sticky, and tenacious to the
beet when wet, and it also lacks a
cheap lime supply. V- V . ,t
Beet growing in Malheur . county
would have to be under a system of ir
rigation similar to that in Utah. , '
' It beets are planted in the middle of
April either in eastern or southern Ore
gon nothing is gained by; delaying har
vest later than the first week in . September.-
. - ', ". ' -?; '"
. The Original Klein Wanzlebener and
the Elite Klein .Wanzlebener have
"proven themselves well adapted to the
conditions in the Grande. Konde valley,
and have both given good results in
Jackson county, i The former has given
the better results in the . latter . place..
Eaoh has given better results in each
place than the Vilmorin. , . : . ,
In eastern Oregon beets may be left
In the ground quite late without seri
ous loss from second growth. -
Beets for sugar production should not
be planted on alkali soils. -.
Beete may be allowed to grow much
larger here than in Germany and still
hold an exoellent per .. cent of sugar.
The hill lands of Jackson county are
not well adapted to the industry. ;
The establishment of a sugar factory
makes possible a most excellent oppor
tunity for a high development 'of the
dairy industry. This is of no mean
consequence when it is remembered
that all three of the localities which
present favorable conditions for the in
dustry produce immense quantities of
alfalfa, and yet ship in dairy products
in large amounts. ".Why not produce
them at home and supply the neighbor
ing sections? -
The establishment of a sugar factory
means also the development of a large
fuel and lime industry. . - (
Waverly Sugar Factory. .
The new sugar factory at Waverly,
Spokane county, Washington, began
operations December 6. This is the
first beet sugar factory to be built ia
this state, and the seoond in the Pacific
Northwest. The farmers in the vicinity
of the factory raised about 400 acres of
beets this year, the yield being 4 to 12
tons per acre. D. C. Corbin, of . Spo
kane, owner of the factory is paying
$4 per ton for beets containing 12 to 14
per cent of sugar and 83 1-3 cents per
ton additional for each per cent of
sugar avove 14. The average price for
the entire crop is about $4.50 per ton.
Taking the average yield" as eight
tons, half, way between the extremes,
this would give a gross return of $38
per aore. The cost per .acre of , the
beets delivered at the factory is in the
neighborhood of $25 to $30.- ' This
leaveB some profit to the average beet
grower, and . considerable : to those
whose beets give . yields of . 10 or 12
tons per acre. Another year, when
the fanners know more of beet culture,
and are in position to give ' their crops
the attention they need, better results
may fairly be expected. This Is the
beginning of an industry - which will,
if successful, become an important feat
ure of Eastern Washington agrioulture.
It will give the farmers of the Palouse
country a profitable crop to grow in
rotation, with wheat. When the farm
ers have learned the' value of sugar
beet pulp as a stock feed, it will also
doubtless result in an increase - of live
stock on the wheat ranches in the vi
cinity of the factory. - - ' . . y -

TRADE QUIETING DOWN. '
s: : ". :
Undisturbed, However, by an Unfavor
able Money Situation.; t -.'
. Bradstreet's says: General trade in
wholesale and manufacturing lines is
quieting down, but it is worth noting.
It is undisturbed by the money situa
tion, the influence of which has been
confined to speculative circles. Holi
day trade, on the other hand, has heen
given a deoided impetus, and compari
sons with the same period of preceding
years are uniformly favorable, ..little
doubt remaining that although retail,
trade in seasonable lines has been af
fected in some localities by unfavor
able weather, holiday specialties have
enjoyed exceptional activity..-.'. As re
gards prices, it is a notable fact that
as many staples have advanced this
week as there have declined, while by
far the larger number of quotations
have remained steady or firm. - The
strength of textiles is still a most nota
ble feature of 4he general situation. ;
Cotton goods are heivily sold ahead
by agents, and a very large spring busi
ness has already been booked. Raw
cotton is firm and unchanged on the
week, partly owing to the light re
ceipts and to reaffirmation of a short
crop estimated by the department of
agrioulture. Manufactured goods,
where not advanced, are firmly held.; ..
Wheat, including - flour, shipments
for the week aggregate 8,250,649 bush
els,! against 5,133,83L bushels last
week, 6,248,659 bushels in the corre
sponding week Jast year, " 4,464,899
bushels in 1897, 8,524,826 bushels in
1896 and 2,056,043 bushels in 1895.
Since July 1 this season, the exports of
wheat aggregate 97,559,926; bushels
against 109,720,853 bushels last year
and. 118,809,197 bushels in 1898-99.
Business failures in the United States
for the week were only 210 as com

For peculiar marriage customs- the
Negritos cannot be beaten. The young
man who seeks a bride first obtains the"
favor of her parents and then pursues
her, catching her in his arms. 7 She
breaks loose and runs, and does not
yield until he has caught her several
times. Finally he leads her in triumph
to her home. ; Here the .father drags
the youth up a ladder to ' the , floor of
their hut. The mother drags, up the
maiden. They are made to kneel, and
the father pours over them a cocoanut
shell full of water He then bumps
their heads together, and the ceremony
is completed. They spend their honey
moon in, the depths of the jnountains,
and for five days and nights are lost to
sight, after which they come back to
everyday life. Then there is another
marriage custom. " Instead of the
youth and maiden being dragged : up
the hut.; ladder, , they are , made to
climT) two sapplings that grow near
each other. Then an elder of the
group grasps the sapplings and draws
them together until the .heads of the
young couple touch, with a . kiss or
bump, according to the force used.
This makes them man and wife. N.

' His Highest Critical Praise.
Edward Terry tells of a pretty inci
dent whioh occurred during a tour in
Australia. .. "Do you know what I con
sider the most glowing tribute I ever
received?..' The compliment came from
a child. - There was a crowded . house,
an intent audience, and humor had for
the instant given place to pathos. . You
might have heard a pin drop and I felt
the tension of the house was at break-,
ing point. The intense silence was
broken by a childish voice a girl's
who, turning to her parent, asked in a
broken voice: 'Mother, is it real?' "
