Show LOCAL COU correspondence culture of the sugar beet to BISHOP E HUNTER DEAR sm SIR agreeable to your request I 1 herewith publish a few items on the culture of the sugar beet the sugar beet I 1 have always found to grow to the best perfection on a deep mellow soil and if the season oua ons to planting the better the ground 7 the season of planting is a bad system as the beets always have a tendency to throw out many fibrous roots and are coarse grained and do not yield so good a produce of sugar as when the ground is ia the year before planting in preparing the ground I 1 prefer ploughing sloughing hing it deep in autumn so that the surface may be well pulverized in the winter in the spring I 1 plough again when it is ia dry and mellow and again about the of april for sowing sewing after dressing down the ground fine and level I 1 draw drills 15 inches apart and 3 inches deep and sow the seed 0 6 or 8 inches apart in the drills cover it with fine earth and the work of sowing is done thinning out the young plants is one great point in in growing a good crop of beets and should always be attended to at an early stage of their growth for when the plants are allowed to grow too near together they are always small hard ani an d tough my isly method is to thin twice the first time when the plants have cor 4 or 5 leaves to 6 or 8 inches apart being particular when 3 or 4 beets are growing together to leave the best and most healthy this is essential because the seed of beets 3 or 4 in number are 00 contained in one capsule or covering generally known as the seed and among these one seed is more matured 3 and produces a better plant than the others and hence the utility of selecting it the second trimming I 1 lesie leave the plant from 10 to 15 inches apart and clear away all weeds that injure or deter the growth hoeing the ground at this time is also necessary yi in in order to keep it mellow and from bi binding in di in n on the top which is injurious to the growth of of tho the beet when the ground become dry watering 8 should hould be done in such a manner th that at it is not too much saturated to bind hard on the top when dry the best manner of watering beets is to draw drills 3 inches deep between th therb erows ws for water furrows by this method the water finds its way to the roots and the earth about the tops of the plants remains loose and mellow and gives them space to swell to their proper ro size size there is some choice in the land to grow sugar beet to perfection in the valley I 1 prefer the land where the oa oak k is found growing in patches although deep rich land will always growa grow large arge beets but they rarely contain so large a quantity of sic sae karine juice owing to the coarseness of their vessels which contain much water i and a small portion of sugar owing to their r size size heavy clay land is too retentive and binding and poor gravelly land too dry to grow the roots to perfection there is also a great difference in the varieties of the ugar sugar beet I 1 believe the best variety is the Si lician beet introduced into england many years ago for the purpose of using the leave stalks as a substitute for the asparagus this variety was experimented upon during the time of na napoleon oleon by the most able chemists of france and found to be more productive of suo sugar 0 ar than any other vegetable as a substitute for the sugar cane the P rench french make 3 or 4 varieties of it the white the yellow the red ac these varieties are merely fugitive and have been obtained by min mingling gline the true species with the red beet the yellow elaw beet beet the mangle bertzel wert zel and indeed we ave have as many varieties of the sugar beet as there are many other species of vegetables that have been mingled into an endless variety we have the true trae sugar boet among us which maj may be distinguished by the following description the roots are long handsome and tapering having na few fibrous roots the skin clear of a greenish white on the t top 0 odthe of the root the inside of ite the beet a clear 1 white sweet and brittle the leaves on the top growing cutright ut upright right and a few in number of a green texture having no red about them the beets I 1 object to are those with large t tops aps ops of leaves laying on the ground the roots short and having many fibrous roots growing from the bottom and the sides of the main main root with red mingled with the leaves and the root we have man many varieties here which ate are white inside and red without red tops red leaves ac all of which are a mingled variety from the true sugar sugar beet but sir I 1 have occupied occupied already perhaps too much time and per perhaps ape ener encroached cached too much on the columns of vie the news therefore close hoping others will throw some light on the subject of the culture and manufacture of the sumar sugar beet yours respectfully EDWARD EDWAED SAYERS mr sayers experience is worthy the notice not ice of those who want good sugar and plenty ot of it and if his suggestions are too late for practice the present season th they ey will be in readiness for the season adason following ED for the deseret news I 1 C unsettled estates MR I 1 wu waa present last week at a trial at provo city between the administrator of a certain estate and three defendants who are pr prospective 02 heirs to said estate vai but who were proved to be indebted by their own acknowledgment know and other testimony about ninety dollars to the estate the process was an attachment issued on the oath of the administrator the first notice the defendants had of his hia appointment was the service of ment the court very justly decided that hit in inasmuch I 1 as the cost was necessarily made by the administrator the defendants having never refused a settlement that the estate pay the oost cost which judging from one or or two items amounts to about fifty dollars saying nothing about lawyers fees loss lom of timo rine ao c orte one reason of my troubling you with this communication isi is that the administrator ia Is now in salt lake valley I 1 teaching school and I 1 have heard hints that he intends to appeal to a higher tribunal I 1 now low for the queries lat how many such trials and appeals will it take to properly erly administer upon and adjust an estate of five feori or six hundred dollars ad Js that the proper method for 0 one no brother 4 to lotif notify y another or others of fiers that he wants a settlement r with hi him in or them I 1 think the judges and lawyers of utah county are bound to star starve if they have hato no other I 1 means of subsistence than those professions and I 1 think a few suggestions ind and admonitions or rather perhaps I 1 should say aay prescriptions from the great medicine man at the news office offic e in addition to what has already issued from that source will materially assist the important cause of starvation and be an excellent plea in bar respecting all snap judgment administrations lest I 1 weary your patience I 1 will leave other incidents and queries for another time and remain toura respectfully AMERICAN FORK jan 17 1852 L E H our correspondent above is an honorable honorah le and responsible man and has made his proportions irions no doubt in behalf of justice and is ie ft entitled titled to a candid hearing to his first query how many such trials and appeals will it take to properly administer upon and adjust an estate of five or six six hundred dollars Pl we answer about as man many y as it would take of snow balls round or square to heat beat an oven hot enough to bake the sun ad query cis Is that phe proper method for one brother to notify another ther or others that he wants a settlement with pirn im or them yes if he has so much ignorance or wickedness in him that he wants all the world to know it and baa as no better method of ca communicating his feelings and is w willing bui ng and able to pay all expenses out of his own pocket for the privilege of showing his mighty power oar but bat on no other principle I 1 it will be noticed that we have not the names of magistrate administrator or parties or any y kuledge ledge of the facts only as related above and the answering odthe particular queries given I 1 is a beginning in the middle of thesus the subject therefore if the administrator is still in 1 fectea with the same disposition I 1 to the corroding I 1 sin of law mania as heretofore the news doctor would prescribe that he be take an appeal to a higher court that court imbued with the principles of justice as it should be will review the decision of the magistrate and place all costs of trial and appeal on the head of the man who holds the and not on the estate of the deceased all of which perhaps may amount to which when he has taken a few times out of his own pocket we think the medicine will operate and he will be cured I 1 of his golden law miasma and quit iun running into the infected districts when there is I 1 no occasion it may be that the higher dort court will thinkie thin kit klit no more than right for the magistrate to bear a portion of the costs on the ahe ground that a little smart money is oftentimes a great preventative as well as cure of folly but of this the judge will determine we admit 1 these are bitter pills but it cant tie be helped desperate os diseases require desperate remedies our prescription does not correspond exactly wa with th the views of our correspondent but no matter we shall see eyo eye to eye when he reads I 1 now if the administrator will acknowledge the justice of our prescription we have a driendl friendly y hint for him which will save half the medicine e and cost when he his has done his school he will have the mearis means to pay ay the unnecessary expense he has made and make the estate good and cheerfully suffer thus much for his hie folly no grumbling and no questions asked teat that bOu bought glit wit is often tho the beet when not bought too dear and we extend our friendly hints to all the saints sainta and say quit your going to law magistrates magia know what you are about before you enter a case on your docket or grant a writ persuade parties litigant lit liti igent geAt t to 0 settle their own difficulties if possible if n ot with the help of a friend or neighbor so long as magistrates love law better than hoe spade or plow they may m ay look out for more hell than heaven let t the he lawyers alone it is their business to stir up strife and contentions content the people and live at the peoples expense without returning an equivalent when jesus was on the earth he pronounced woes boes upon the lawyers that have not been removed and will not be removed till they quit their contentious practices if there never had been any l lawyers to make laws there never would have been any need of lawyers to explain laws for all laws would have been written so plain that a way faring man tho a fool need not err therein and leaving lawyers out of the question it is too late in the day early as it is for magistrates to give wrong decisions ON ci and men to bring 0 wrong action sin deseret and plead ignorance they have friends and neighbors who are ready and willing to gi give v e them information when they will ask without running to lawyers do at all times to oth ers as you would be done unto is the grand panacea the cure all which if you will take without urging you will be well and we give e the prescription
