THE BRITISH CRISIS
THE fall of tho Astjnith ministry is due to ublic dis
content over the conduct f the war and the desire
of a more vigorous war policy. The diplomatic bungles in
the east, the evident lack of co-operation among the en
tente allies, as shown by the compicst of Serbia and Ru
mania and the failure of the Saloniki campaign as well as
the Dardanelles fiasco, has created Ihe impression that the
bunglesonie coalition ministry has failed to rise to the 00
easion.
The English Tories have taken advantage of this dis
content to force the resignation of the premier by joining
1 orecs with Lloyd-dcorgc and the "ginger" party, evi
dently seeking by the collapse of the Liberals a return to
power. J ii securing place m the ministry, they have it in
their power to force a crisis whenever desired, and will
probably later force out Lloyd-(ieorge. ' Jt is a fact that as
the war lias proceeded, the government has become more
autocratic, more reactionary and less democratic, reflect
ing the Torv influence.
This is a natural sequence of war, which for success de
mands centralization. iSntaiu is imitating Prussian
jugger methods, evidently in the hope of attaining German
efficiency, though France, by democratic methods, has
attained eoual. perhaps superior, efficiency;
Lloyd-Gcorgchas proved himself the most capable or
ganizer, the most far-seeing, aggressive and ablest execu
tive of Mi'itish statct-nicn. He has an opportunity seldom
offered to serve his country, and if, as seems likely, he
proves the man of the hour, his elevation will be the turn
ing point iu the war.
Following her ancient traditions, it has taken Great
Britain a year to awaken, a year to prepare, and the next
year should be oik of advance. She has created a wonder
ful armv, thou;.!! until the Soniine advance began, an
armv without ti .
or fighting experience, which has
since been acquired. Her hick litis been a leader of com
manding ability and it is the general belief that in
Lloyd-George she has remedied the deficiency.

beet prosperity binges on tho crea
tion of the Irrigation district, Mr.
Pettingill explained that In such a
climate as ours, beets only In rare
Instances will yield heavily without
Irrigation. The beet Itself is fio per
cent water. Water forces tho leaves
to maUo rank growth. It is tho ac
tion of the sun upon a largo leaf sur
fueo that puts the naccarrine in the
beets. In Idaho, Colorado and Utah,
the western beet centers, they tried
beet raising without water and failed.
Today In those districts the use of
irrigation is universal.
Instances of beets grown In this vi
cinity with and without water were

cited by Mr. Pettingill from the
records of tho I'tuh-Idaho Sugar Co.,
field books.
Instunccis Prove Oise
Ceorge Morris of Talent raised,
without water, 29 acres of beets, har
vesting a little less than 100 tons of
beets or less than 3 tons to the acre.
With water ho would have gotten at
least 10 or 15 tons. That ho could
have done this Is easily proven by a
glance at the record of John Miller,
ulto of Talent, who with water, raised
29 tons to the acre. William Bruin
of Talent raised on two acre of
ground, 42 tons of heets. These two
were the only men In the Talent dis
trict who had sufficient water to ma
ture their beets.
John Brenner at Central Point
planted 9 acres to beets. These 9
teres showed uniform growth up to
the time of irrigation. Eight acre
were irrigated and produced 1G tons
to the acre. One acre, or exactly the
same soil, was not Irrigated and
raised 5 tons.
Double Averajre Yield.
Mr. Pettingill state dthat he ex
amined closely the tracts planted
to beets lying around Med ford and Is
convinced that the application of irri
gation will double the average yield.
The average yield this year was 8 1-3
tons. The Perry tract lying west of
Med ford was one of the best of the
non-Irrigated tracts, yet It produced
only 9 tons to the acre. Iu other
words, the best non-irrigated pro
duced only ran two-thirds of a ton
over the average. Much of the non
irrigated averaged only four tons,
while the Irrigated land raised the
average to 8 1-3 tons.
"The peole," said Mr. Pettin
gill, "will . come to the. reali
zation of tho Impossibility, the futil
ity of doing without irrigation and
that soon. They win do the right
thing in regard to the district plan.
Prospects for prosperity in this val
ley, I consider, are especially bright."

The Ideal Home is the
"Home Electrical"
DO you remember how in grandfather's day they dip
ped strings in tallow to make candles f
Now think of our modern electric light and how
easily and simply we turn a switch or press a button to
make night into day. v
Or take the old-fashioned broom, that swept away a
woman's whole morning, but only half-swept the house.
Then think of the vacuum cleaner which gathers up the
smallest particles of dust aud does it in a few moments.
Or the electric cook stove, which eliminates the heat of
the kitchen and makes cooking as much a pleasure as
playing golf.
Or the electric toaster and grill, the, electric, percolator,
or the electric heater, which warms chilly bathrooms in a
jiffy, or the electric sewing machine, which saves back
aches and footaches.
AH these things are the requisites of a modern, well
kept home. Arc they in your home'?
America's Electrical Week is your opportunity to look
about you and see what added pleasures Electricity may
bring your household.
