THROWING OFF PAPER-WEIGHT BALLAST The heavy thud ot the Sunday newspaper as It Is heaved upon the front porch will soon be a story of the past Conditions of paper pro duction in the United States have been becoming more and more criti cal since war conditions upset the in dustrial balance in this field. The industrial "balance" now presents an aspect of acute inclination, with the "demand" aide of the scales some what inclined to be desperate, as the product soars almost beyond eight. "There is a constant tendency tor demand and production to equalise," ays the economist The publishers fit the nation reply, "Quite true, but we have a variation." The "variation" will be seen In the smaller sized editions of the large city newspapers, following . resolutions adopted last week by the Amercan Newspaper Publishers' association. The decision was rendered by that stern Judge, Necessity, upon a showing of the facts. Production has reached the maximum, and no surplus exists. There is an impending increase in demand. Our mills are called upon to fill demands formerly cared for by foreign production. Monopolistic prices already govern the market An increase here is 'inevitable. Either the price must be paid, or the vol ume of demand diminished. That price is considered prohibitive so necessity orders the diminution of demand, and organization again scores a victory. Already the Phil adelphia press limits itself to a max imum of eighty pages of print per week. The constancy with which de mand and supply tend to equalize Is again proved, but the spectacle Is pre sented, of an organized nation-wide altering of the demand side of the balance. The public will now view the throwing off of ballast, till the scales again are adjusted.

The Germans three times attacked the positions at Fourcaux wood, after heavy bombardment, but were each tlmo repulsed.

In the northern fighting sons the Germans attempted a raid on British trenches northeast of Hulliich and east of Leptentln. They were driven back. Editor's Note: Dr. Wiley, the an-1 his Introduced a new factor Into the thor of. this article, Is the famous "Pure Food," Wiley who gained re nown some years ago as government chemist in the department of agrl culture. He has been a professor of agriculture, and is a recognised au thority on sugar production. Follow lng articles will cover other phases of the question. Moisture Conditions Affecting the Beet-Sugar Industry Although conditions ot temp fea ture must be taken into consldera tlon in selecting sites for beet-sugar factories, those of rainfall must also be studied. The sugar beet requires a certain amount of moisture in order to produce its normal crop. This moisture must be derived either from precipitation in the usual way or from Irrigation: or else the soil must be of that particular quality which will allow subterranean moisture to reach the rootlets ot the plants. Where there is little subterranean moisture, and where Irrigation Is not practicable, the culture of the sugar beet should not be undertaken unless an average summer precipitation of 2 to 4 Inches per monh can be depended on. . There are many conditions of agriculture, however, under which the beet be comes quite independent of extremes of precipitation. The beet may thrive with very little rainfall or with a great deal. If properly 'cultivated In a suitable soil. Growing Beets on Irrigated Land The experience of more than twen ty years in California and ten years In Colorado has shown that the cli matic data, regarded as of prime Importance In beet culture In Europe, can not be regarded as rigidly appli cable to this country.

More complete maturity may be thus ob tained, and, a more leisurely harvest. In fact, there Is no staple crop which can compete with the sugar beet In demanding the favorablo attention of those Interested In Irrigation. If a net profit of from f 10 to $20 per acre can be secured, from $100 to $200 per acre can be paid for the land.

Existing means have failed, the president replied, and declared he Is moving to strengthen the principle of arbitration, so that such a situa tion cannot arise again. Regarding the eight-hour day, he said In the telegram to Pope, "the whole eco nomic movement of the tlmo seems to point to It." The opinion In Washington today Is that demands on tho president by the railroad heads of arbitration of the cluht-hour day question, there fore, will not move him. The conflict would seem to be Irreconcilable, but the feeling In Washington Is unmis takable that tn soino manner the strike will bo avoided. The men apparently are satisfied to have won the president's support of the eight-hour day. On other points they may be expected to yield should a deadlock bo reached on the present negotiations and further ef forts be necessary. While there Is nothing on the sur face to Indicate the manngers or exer. utlves will do other than stnnd pat for arbitration, there are deep seated rumblings around their headquarters on the point and that somo counter- proposition may he forthcoming. force the railroads to knuckle down," a third stated.
