Agronomist Utah Agricultural Experiment Station It is likely to be profitable this BDrlnK. except -ior unusually heavy tn frrleata sugar beets much earlier than is usually done. It may be necessary to irrigate them while the land is still rather moist under neath. This is because of the ground's drying out at the surface for two or three inches in depth before the beets v . r.-oL.n tn Riiffirient size to uaic f. ' ' " v penetrate in to the deep soil. Wben thin takes nlace there Is a layer on top that is completely devoid of soil moisture which would not be trouble some if the beets reached well below It. Unfortunately It happens too often that this drying takes place before the beets have grown beyond the dried area. When this condition does arise it is necessary to Irrigate the urfaee In order to wet It uffldenuy to permit the beeta to continue grow tng. Usually only one such Irrigation is necessary because before the time for a second application ha come around! the beet roots have gone down some distance Into the damp soiL This first Irrigation should not be a heavy application. Only enough water Is necessary to thoroughly moisten the dry layer. It Is sometimes advocated that only each alternate space have a furrow in it. It has been found better at the Experiment Station, however, to make rather small furrows and place these ' clou to the sugar beets on one aide of the space rather than trying to irrigate in the mlddlu. When the furrow fur-row is made in the middle of the space botwetMi two rows rather heavy applications are necessary in order to cause the water to soak over the much of the State which says that crops should not be irrigated until it is absolutely necessary. This, however, how-ever, is not true on account of the fact that the plants wilt very easily and begin to suffer at once for water. There has been nothing by way of irrigation that has been so harmful as delaying the first application until the croon suffer seriously. Many of the beets die from lack of moisture and many others are so weakened that diseases are able to take hold of them. One of the most noticeable, things about our experimental work on beets has been that beets properly manured and properly irrigated are injured by disease to only a very slight extent whereas beets that lack both fertility and moisture are sometimes attacked to an extent of practically 100 per cent. In 1919 when there was such a gen BPi attack of "Phoma" root rot it was observed that on poor land and on late irrigated beets the Injury was about twice as great and "" In some cases five limes .as great as on land that had been properly cared for In these two respects. This year has be gun almost exactly like 1919. People who visited the Experiment Farm in Logan in 1919 and In other years were without exception struck by the great resistance to disease of beets that had been properly manured and irrigated Here is one of the opportunities for a grower of sugar beets to stop a lnrirn 1ek in his Income. On the average the sugar beet yields are only about one-half of what they should be and here Is one of the easy things to do 16 Increase his yield. Another important im-portant leak occurs during thinning. This will bo the subject of another artlclo shortly. . o Life of Alice T. Steele Th fnllnwlne Rketch of the life of Alic4Jr Steele was read at a recent meeting of the Daughters of tne Pioneers: ' In? the city of Liverpool, England lived John Cbadwlck and; his ' wife Elizabeth. They4 were honest, indust rious people, keeping their several shops and by honest dealing, prosper ing. Theta- first child, a daughter. was christened Alice and died as an Infant. The second a girl, was christened Elizabeth. On March 22, 1844 the third child als a daughter was born and was christened accord. ing to the cuHtom of the Episcapalian church and named "Alice. Later four sons were born to this family. Being devout and god-fearing people when the message of Mormonism was car. ried to England by the mlssionariea they listened, their hearts were touched, they felt the message was for them so they were all baptized and became" members of the L. D, S. Church. Alice who was then 10 years of age was baptized Aug. 27, 1854 and confirmed by Elder W'hee. lock. Then began the persecutions that followed those who believed in those days And through dishonest neip their business fell away. Alice com. menced her school life at three years of age and early showed a liking tor medicine and surgery. Also she was Wilful with her needle. When finances made It necessary for the children to help their parent Alice went as governess to the childrea of Lord Bennett She became very attached at-tached to thi family especially a little crlDDled boy. Richard fondly called Dickey. After a few years here Lady Bennett and little Dicky were taken to a hospital and Alice who had become companion and nurse went along. It was here she received her first hospital training being asked to help Dr. Brlerly in re. moving a cancerous breast and was highly complimented on her nerve. Alice remained with the Bennett's for some time and at Lady Bennett's death took charge of the home and family of eight children.

But the spirit of gathering had entered the hearts of the family and on Aug. 29, 1869 they, left. Liverpool for Utah on the steamer Minnesota. Eighteen days after sailing they arrived at Ogdcn which was as far as the rail road came. The family waa met here by George Taylor, a dear friend of the family, but who had preceded them to Utah six years , earlier. Spending one night in Salt Lake at the Mur. dock home they traveled on to Ameri. can Fork where with, one, exception ihv nil have made their home. The fnmll V homA WaS where Mrs. 8nm- mervllle nowi jives. Alice entered in. to active church work by being made a teacher in the Sunday School two weeks after her arrivaL The court. ship which began in England years before lead to her marriage to George Taylor in the Endowment House on Nov. 7th, 1870. Although It must have seemed primitive after coming from homeB of wealth Alice began her homemaking In a one room log house, her cheerful disposition helped in making the best of everything ana when children came to them many dainty little clothes were fashioned from bits of finery brought from Eng. land. Her first babe was a boy George, then came Mary who lived less than a year. They did not seem to pros, per here and Mr. Taylor who had served hi apprenticeship In the rail, road shop of England and was quail, fled as an engineer got work with the railroad running up Alta to mm-ham Junction now called Mid. vale and the family moved to the Junction. Here a very strong inena. ship was formed between' Alice an Mrs. Hannah Laplsh due to the help given Alice at the birth of her daughter, Laura. Both mother and babe's lived being saved by Mra. La. .pish's knowledge of drugs and what to do in an emergency. After two there they returned to American Fork, built a new home and tried farming. A son was born and died at one day old. Each time she was alone her husband being away. He had returned to work as an engineer. engi-neer. One week after her babe's burial she received news of her husband's hus-band's death by suffocation. After this hard trial she found It very difficult to say, "Father, "Thy will be done," but she did and again took up Sunday school work, along with her needle to make her livelihood and pay the little debt left on the home and care for the two remaining children. This requtred long hours of tedious work and often she needed her great faith In God's help to keep on. One morn. ing a dear friend of hers, Sister Annie Duncan-came to her home and said she felt led to come and speak to her about taking up nursing with ob. stetrics. This she made a matter of prayer and answered by a dream which I will relate In her own words, as It had so much to do with her later life. "I dreamed I was walking up the main Carriage way of the "Blue Coat" (school when I looked ahead. I saw Brother Orson Pratt coming down the walk. I stepped to one side to let hint pass but he crossed over to me until I had to step on the grass and on doing so I cried out, "Oh," for I came near to stepping in a bole about C feet long and 4 feet wide with solid white vralle and about full ot water, I drew back when Brother Pratt said "Look into It" I did so and beheld the bottom waa filled with little baby hnv. He then said "Follow me". We crossed over to the other side ot the drtve where I beheld another hole Just like the first one but filled with hh rlrln. I exclaimed "Oh." how cruel to put them in there, let me try to take them outi" Then he laid his hand On my shoulder and said, "Sist. er live in the future as you have in the past and the day will come when you will take every one out of the apr This dream decided her course.
