THE KAIK.
While tlio exhibits at the Morrow
County Fair this week are hardly up
to pant excellence everything con
sidered they are quite creditable.
Irrigon and Boardman show some
splendid exhibits as the result of
their famous combination of soil,
water and sunshine and those in
charge are justly proud of their
exhibits.
O. L. lilaydon and C. C. Payne,
are in charge of the Hoardman ex
hibit and they are showing wonder
ful corn from first crop sage brush
land and still more wonderful water
melons grown among the ungrubbed
sage-brush.
Merrill Doble and Hugh Grimm
are in charge of Irrigon's exhibit
and their booth is a tiling of beauty.
Farmer Hmlh, agriculturist for the
O. W. It. & N. Co Is also present
from Irrigon and he occasionally says
a few words about seienUlie farm
ing. A more extended mention of the
Fair will be given next week.

N BEET SUGAR
Crops Are 40 Per Cent. Less
Than Pre-War Average Cen
tral Powers Hit Hardest.
CANE SUGAR IS ISOLATED.
Allied Beet Production Falls One-third
In Rigid War Economy
Practiced.
The world today Is producing forty
per cent, less beet sugar than the pre
war average.
Counting the American, Allied and
German-Austrian crops, aB well as the
neutruls, the U. S. Food Administra
tion has estimated that the world
shortage created by the light crop or
11)17-11)18 Is at least throe uud a half
million tons.
That the 1017-1018 crop of cane sug
ar was two million tons In excess of
the previous year does not relieve the
general shortage.
Culm and Java produce one-half of
the world nine crop, and the Juva sug
ar Is too far removed from America to
transport when shipping Is badly need
ed to transport and maintain the mili
tary forces in France.
In Juva a large pnrt of the old sugar
crop Is still awaiting shipment. Since
It requires 1.10 to Kit) days for each
boat that Is sent to Java, the possibili
ties of obtaining ndeiiuale shipments
of Java sugar this season are remote.
Allies' Production Falls.
Taking the Allied nations as a group,
oillcial reports show that beet sugar
production Is less by one-third than the
pro-war average.
French beet sugar industry has suf
fered most by the war. The French
yield of beet sugar Is now only aiu
Iter cent, of the pre-war average.
For the live years preceding the out
break of hostilities in Europe, France
produced an average of 7r2,.142 tons of
sugar each year. For 1017-18 the
French production was 210,410 tons.
With 01 factories operating, as com
pared with more than 200 that were
In existence before the war and before
the general campaign of destructlve
ness launched by the German armies,
Franco nevertheless managed to manu
facture more beet sugar In 1017-18
than in 1010-17, when the total output
was 20,41,1 tuns.
Italy In 1017-18 produced lOO.Roo
tons of beet sugar, which win 50,000
tuns U'ss than the previous year and
110,2.10 less than the aiinual output of
sugar for the five year pre-war e
rind. One of the (treat dltllcultloR experi
enced In Italy's bt sugar Industry
was finding sulllclent labor to handle
the crop. Thousands of men usually
eiiilJoyed In lot sugar production
were culled for military service. The
yield ier nor amounted to approxi
mately half of the usual quantity of
lyets harvested.
Why Iron Chimney Stacks Corrode.
The nnise of corrosion of Riilvanlzod
Iron extensions to chimneys Is laid
generally to condensation which forms
Insldu tho stack, and which In con
junction with the carbon which has
been deposited In use, creates a riiI
viinle action which soon destroys the
r.lne (tinting and llnally ruts through
the Iron or steel push. To prevent
fhe condensation nn ur wpiuv around
the stack Is recommended. Tho slack
Is made double from the base to a
point close to the top, with mnill Inm
bra.es between fhe Inner and outer
casings. These may bo riveted close
to the ends of the sheets In course of
construction. The air space may be
one or two Inches, according to sire of
smokestack, and local conditions.
