Below George H. Smtyh, a Lehi fanner, tells how he prepared his land and produced an average beet crop of 18 tons on five acres. Some valuable facts are herein given that many farmers may profit by. Two acres of his field produced better ' than 20 tons per acre. "Potatoes were grown on this land in 1926, as soon as the potatoes were harvested about twenty tons of manure man-ure was applied per acre.and plowed under in the fall of 1926. During the winter of 1926-27 this ground was given a top dressing of fine manure. As soon as the ground could be worked the following spring a good seed bed was prepared and the beets planted on the 24th of March, using 20 pounds of seed per acre. A good stand of beets was secured. They were thinned while small. The beets were irrigated before they showed signs of suffering for water. "Water was applied at the proper time through the summer and fall, receiving re-ceiving one irrigation in October and i harvested late in October. "G. H. SMITH, JR."

In the estimation of sponsors of the plan, are too high. It is unlikely that anyone would advocate the boycotting of a food stuff as competitive with other com. modifies as beef if they had approached approach-ed the subject on a sound basis of economics. Admittedly beef Is num. bered among the most highly competitive compe-titive of food stuffs and for this reas, on the price will take care of lstelf without the attempted breaking down of the natural laws of supply and demand by any section in fostering foster-ing a boycott, which is directly opposed op-posed to good economics. Should beef prices reach a level, where they are prohibitive, other food stuffs will enter the picture and the resulting curtailment of de. mand will bring about a reaction of price levels governed by supply and demand. For instance, in the past few weeks there has been a sustained sustain-ed downward movement in the hog market and in the Middle West the point has been reached where hogs are sold around 8 cents and at the same time top steers have brought 17 cents making the dressed beet ot this class cost 34 cents and pork around 12 cents. It Is not reasonable reason-able to presume that this margin, between beef and pork, which are absolutely competitive in the retail meat market, can long be maintained. The American housewife, who after all represents the bulk of the pur. chasing power of the country, will equalize this situation by turning to the purchase of a larger proportion of pork or other meat foods. This will stimulate hog prices or at least hold themi steady and, no doubt, will serve to stabilize beef prices at a certain level although it is unlikely that any substantial change in beef prices will be experienced within the near future. . These readjustments will come abont, however, for entirely natural reasons without the necessity of boycotts boy-cotts or the injection of other foreign elements into the situation. Aside from this natural adjustment, of course, the law of compensation ent. ers the picture in the shape of a recollection of the many years of proverty through which the cattle industry has passed, and even with a sustained period of present prices the cattle producer who was fortu nate enough to survive the long Blege of liquidation will still be far from having recouped his post war losses to say nothing of the industry recov erlng the loss of many of its main stays who were forced out of business. It is naturally no wore reasonable for any section In the .East to boycott boy-cott beef as a supposed remedy for raising of price levels than it would be for the Western cattle country to boycott shoes or some other necessity manufactured in the East and it should not be overlooked that even at present cattle prices the purchas ing power of cattle is not entirely out of line when It Is considered how many shoes may be bought with the returns from the hide of a steer or how many other manufactured pro ducts may bo purchased from the returns re-turns realized by the producer for his. cattle. ( The cost of purchasing any article we do not produce ourselves should be gauged by what it costs us to pro. duce that which we exchange for it, whether the exchange be in goods or money. In illustration, not so long ago Is took the proceeds of the sale of several bides to purchase shoe for producer's family, although the shoes could probably have been fur nished from the hide of one of the critters. Careful thought should be given the beef price situation before Judgment Is passed as to whether or not present market prices are just!. Cable.
