SUGAR BEETS AND WATER.
The present season has demon
strated, certain facts regarding the
culture of sugar beets in the Rogue
valley that must be given due con
sideration in the taking of contracts
for acreage next season. .The first,
and undoubtedly the vital fact is
that It is practically useless to plant
beets unless there is water for Irri
gation. There may be a tew Isolated
pieces of ground where good crops
are produced without the artificial
application of water. These pieces
are sub-irrigated. As a general rule.
Irrigation la a requisite. Good soil
la another condition, and while the
Rogue valley loams are primarily all
good and fertile soils, some pieces
have been robbed of plant-growing
dements by continuous ' cropping
without being budded up with fer
tiliser or protected through crop ro
tation. The beet will respond Just
aa readily to fertile soil as will any
other plant Climate and sunshine
will not grow a beet unless the best
eeed Is planted under proper condi
tions of soil.
The wonderful crops of beets now
about ready for the harvest grown by
the Hoods, by Flanagan & Cornell,
and by scores of others who used
their 'best soils and gave proper care,
proves that the Rogue valley has no
superior for their growth. Experts
state that better, fields or choicer
beets have not been grown in the
country. The tests now being made
' by the factory chemists prove the
quality. The beets upon the grourd
prove the quantity. What more do
you want?
The farmer who has the soil but
not the water should begin at once
to interest himself in the question
of irrigation. Many farms are so
situated that they can obtain water
at reasonable expense through pump
ing. Data should be obtained upon
irrigation plants that can be put in
later should the efforts now , being
directed toward general irrigation
not materialize. Water Is the salva
tion of the country, and as the first
step in sugar beet growing, as In
any other farming operation here, the
irrigation question must come first.
evening. In dropping down to sea
level the road pierces the densest
manner of redwood forests. It Is a
case of ascending and descending the
hills of the Coast range, being at sea
level part of the time. The roads
are tor the most good, although in
the thickest timber there are
stretches of corduroy or 'punchera,'
as they call it down there."

ORDER
REVOKED
BY MAYOR FISKE
New York. Oct. 2. After a Sab-
hath of rioting, In which he personal
ly led the police against mobs, Mayor
Fiske of Mount Vernon today called
a special aldernianic meeting to re
voke orders against use of strike
breakers on the Westchester subsi
diary lines of the Third Avenue rail
way. Flake's Sunday was the most
thrilling he ever passed. Crowds,
angered at the company's attempt to
break the strike after several weeks
of Inactivity, attacked cars, spiked
switches and gave the two hundred
policemen an all-night fight.
Motorcycle police, like cavalry,
charged the strikers. Union heads
failed when they counselled order.
In the city proper cars ran normal
ly, but the expected formal calling off
of the strike was halted by the non
arrival of President Mahon, of the In
ternational body, from Europe.
WILSON PLANS TO
SMOKE OUT HUGHES
Aibury Park. N. J Oct. 2.- Presi
dent Wilson la determined to "smoke
out" Charles Evans Hughes on what
the democrats have now defined as
the real Issues of the campaign.
When ho starts west tomorrow
night to speak In Omaha Thursday
evening, the president will have com
pleted his plans to force Hughes, If
possible, Into a thorough discussion
of what changes will be made In the
foreign and business policies of the
government if there ts a change of
administration March 4.
Wilson will continue to use (he
taunting sarcasm employed In hi ad
dress to young democrats Saturday,
challenging his opponent to divulge
how far the policy of peace of the
present administration will be fol
lowed In case of a republican victory.
There may be no direct questions,
no Indulgence In personalities, but
the questions and challenges will be
found in Wilson's speeches, even as
they abounded In his last one, when
he Indicated war would be the. repub
lican method of its foreign policy.
A new optimistic atmosphere was
apparent In democratic circles here
with the knowledge that tho presi
dent has let down the bars and is
"going after" Hughes. The big Issue,
he believes, rests In his foreign pol
icy and he will continue his attempts
to show that any change In this must
endanger the future peace of the
country.

the president's departure Tuesday

A TOURIST'S TESTIMONIAL.
A writer In the Sunday Oregonlan,
in describing an automobile trip
through the northwestern states, has
the following comment to make of
the Grants Pass-Crescent City high
way: "In my Judgment, the trip from j
Grants Pass across to the coast road
at Crescent City, Cal., has no equal!
for mountain scenery. The road j
starts In tho valley and ascends gra-'
dually to an altitude of 3,000 feetj
through the mountains and wkyj
mining districts. The boundary line!
ceparatlng Oregon from California Is!
at a height of 2.R00 feet.
"This road has a hard rocky sur
face and Is narrow, with plenty of
Kharp turns, where travel must be
slow. The greatest danger is the
other fellow who has no respect for
himself or others.
"The moment you reach the sum
mit of the highway the sensation of
tea breer.es comes and there Is al-
ways a cool wind, with fog, In the

Washington. Oct. 2. Ino an al
most unprecedented bad agricultural
year the boll weevil has wormed his
disastrous way and the 1916 cotton
crop Is. practically a failure.
The crop, reports of the bureau of
crop estimated today revealed, has
been hit harder by the weevil than
In any season for many years. It Is
now estimated at practically the same
as last year which was. about four
million bales, or 25 per cent under
that of the year before. This In spite
of the fuct that the acreage planted
this year was 1 2 per cent larger than
last year.
Texas, ArkansBH, Alabama. Louisi
ana and Florida are this year's worst
sufferers from the pest with which
the government lias been battling
vainly for years. The government
has spent about fi,000,000 In the
fight.

Ixndon, Oct, 2. General Main's
men continued throughout last night
the smashing advance begun yester
day toward Bapaume, It was officially
announced today.
After beating off German counter
attacks against the newly won posi
tions east of Eaneourt-L'Abbtt.ve, the
British established the front in that
reglou and cleared . surrounding
buildings of the enemy.
The British losses In yesterday's
victory at Kaucour-L'Abbaye. when
the Germans were driven back on a
3,000-yard front, were unusually
small, It was learned today. The
new "tanks" played an Important
role (n the advance and helped make
it possible for llalg'S soldiers to win
German trenches with slight losses.
The "tanks" lumbered forward and
weeded out German machine gunners.
The British Infantry, advancing be
hind the new armed monsters, found
enemy trendies cleaned by fire from
the "tanks" and suffered slight cas
ualties. At several places the British have
reached tho Leffars-Gurdeenurt hlgh-
way, running through Kaucourt
1,'Ablmye and crossing the (wo high
ways leading to Bapaume.
West of Kaucourt-L'Abbaye thft
British established their line last
night from a point 1,200 yards north
of Courcelelle In the direction of Hes
sian trench.
An enemy counter-attack forced

ing has been going on for twenty
