GOOD OUTLOOK FOR BESETS The next week will see a great ad vance In the planting of sugar beet seed in the Grants Pass district. The farmers hare been hastening the preparation of the ground, and there will be demand tor every available - seeder from now on. Some farmers have alrediade their plantings. but nrost of them have awaited set tied weather to do their seeding. This is upon the advice of the com pany agriculturists and also of Hardy - W. CamobeU. who visited the sec tion a'coople of weeks ago. The only vantage of early .planting was for - !V '-j' mpt without water for irrlga- . . turn . purport. ou iUUV .in.iiv nnu f y that can.. not le irrigated has been ; accepted" this season. ' - The Grants Pass Beet Growing company will plant several pieces of ground next week, the first to be S3 acres on the old Fort Vannoy (Elsmann orchard) ranch down the river. This land is ready for the seed and is In perfect condition. It was planted to potatoes last year, and should bring a heavy yield. The Beet Growing company has now about 100 acres contracted for and ready for planting, and It seems like ly that the acreage can not be in creased much over this amount as practically all available beet lands are being planted by the owners or by lessees. All of the tracts con tracted by the Beet Growing com pany are first class, however, and should return maximum yields. The organization greatly stimulated the planting of beets, and no acreage was sought where the owner or a lessee would plant it. The soil conditions are said to be perfect this spring for planting and for the growth of the crop. There has been plenty of moisture during the past few weelis, and the soil is well I supplied so that irrigation need not begin till late in the season. The freezes during the winter were aluo good for the soil, and maximum rrops of all kinds are predicted. RIGHTS OF FOREIGNERS In some localities there has been apprehension over the rights of sub jects of foreign countries now In the i.nltc-d States should this country become Involved In, the war. The. following statement bearing upon, this point has been issued by the state department: "It having been reported that there is anxiety in some quarters on the part of persons residing In this country who are subjects of foreign! states lest their bank dnposlts or other property should be seised In the event of wsr between the United States and foreign nation, the pres ident authorizes the statement that all such fears are entirely unfound ed.
