the new crop for next year is
already eight inches high.
Cantrall has been in the bus
iness of raising sugar beet seed
for over 20 years, and last month
shipped the harvest to the West
Coast Beet Seed company at
Salem. He is awaiting results of
tests as to germination and pur
ity. Seed grown in the Apple
gate valley is said to be very
high in germination qualities due
to the cool nights here. Cantrall
is one of six major growers in
the county.
Each year his 20 acre crop
is grown under contract for the
West Coast Beet Seed company
and Cantrall plants his own seed
only when the company wants
more of the same variety. He
changes seed when an improved
variety is offered. The beets are
planted in 20 inch rows, and are
harvested after ten days in the
windrow, with a Massey-Harris
combine, especially equipped for
beets.
In the fall the crop is fcpray
ed with liquid grass killer by
the Western air service, and in
the spring the plane dusts for
laugus bug. Cantrall, one of two
growers of certified wheat in the
county, had a wheat exhibit in

Fay Bentley Discusses
Recent Northern Lights
By FAY BENTLEY
During the evening hours of
Sept. 4, and the early morning
of Sept. 5, many people in north
ern latitudes witnesses a most
beautiful display of the "north
ern lights" or aurora borealis.
Ever since the time of writ
ten history and probably long
before, people have been fright
ened, awed, and thrilled by the
spectacular appearance of this
celestial drama. The rippling,
glowing, dancing arcs and
streamers of light in the starry
dome were believed by the an
cients to be warnings of evil to
come. At such times the gods
and spirits were supposed to be
engaged in battle.
Only a few years ago, we were
told that the aurora borealis was
caused by the reflection of sun
light on ice fields in the Arctic
Zone. They seemed to forget
that the "northern lights" oc
curred many times during the
long Polar night when there was
no sunlight in that region of the
earth.
Electrified Particles
Today scientists know that
this gorgeous drama is caused by
streams of ionized or electrified
particles ejected by th : sun dur
ing solar prominence and sun
spot activity.
f What are sunspots and solar
prominences? On the surface of
the sunare sometimes seen dark
spots which are great swirling
masses of gases much like, a cy
clone on earth. They may vary
in size from 300 to 60,000 miles
in diameter and usually occur in
groups. The over-all length of a
group may reach 125 thousand
miles in length.
Sunspots are usually accomp
anied by solar prominences or
long streamers of gases shooting
out from the surface of the sun.
Prominences have been known
to extend for 700,000 miles out
into space.
Particles Ejected
During sunspot and solar
prominence activity huge
streams of electrified particles,
mostly electrons, spout forth
from the sun like water from a
gigantic hose. As the sun rotates
on its axis these streams of par
ticles are ejected much as water
from a rotating sprinkler.
When a stream reaches our
planet, the earth is submerged
in these ionized or electrified
particles, mis condition may
last for a few hours or for sev
eral days.
The earth is a huge magnet
and as such is surrounded by a
magnetic field or field of force.
If a tack is held near a small
magnet it will "jump" to the
magnet when very close but still
not touching the magnet that is
attracing it. The tack "jumps"
when it reaches the magnetic
field. The earth also has a mag
netic field but on a much
grander scale.
Drawn to Poles
We know that more tacks will
cling to the ends of poles of a
magnet than to any other por
tion. The same principle applies
to the earth. The sun particles
are drawn to the north and
south polar regions.
When these electrified par
ticles collide with the rarified
gases in the upper atmosphere
an electromagnetic commotion
is set up that causes the gases to
glow in a manner similar to the
functioning of a neon sign. This
glow is called the aurora bore
alis in the northern regions and
aurora australis in the south.
Perhaps the only earth-dwellers
that, at present, do not en
joy the auroras are the Commu
nications engineers who know
that the particles which produce
the exquisite aurora also cause
magnetic storms which can and
often do interfere with commu
nications of all sorts; television,
radio, telegraph and telephone.
As the sun rotates on its axis,
the sunspots responsible for the
auroral display of Sept. 4 and 5
will no longer face the earth.
However, if they do not break
up before the sun completes its
rotation there is a possibility of
another auroral pageant about
the last of Sept. or Oct. 1.
the home of Mrs. Carrie Puhl
were her son-in-law and daugh
ter, Mr. and Mrs. W. I. Kesler
son of Klamath Falls and their
daughter, Mrs. James Skell and
children, Margaret and Brian of
San Rafael, Calif.
A dinner party was given
Saturday, Sept. 7, in' the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Quinn
on highway 99 north, in observ
ance of Mrs. Quinn's birthday.
Those present included Mr. and
Mrs. Charles Whitlock, Mr. and
Mrs. Dick Whitlock, and Miss
Sharon Whitlock, all of Medford,
and Bill Barlow of Phoenix.
Mr. and Mrs. Quinn recently
observed their 46th wedding anniversary..
Recent dinner guests at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Car
ter on the Upper River road
were Dr. and Mrs. Donald Chee
ver and daughter, Kathy. She
is the former Miss Shirley Ko
ger. Mrs. Cheever is a niece of
Mrs. Carter.
The Cheevers were married
two years ago in a garden cere
mony at the Carter home. He
recently completed his intern
training at Denver, Colo. They
have been house guests of her
Koger, 2376 Howard ave., in
Medford since they arrived in
southern Oregon.
