It is said the acreage of ets in this district may be reduced slightly owing to the decision of the 'armers to ooserve a n tation in crops. It is reported there has been some dissatisfaction regarding the initial price for beets. Farmers contend the price should be $7.50 per ton for the eets instead of $7. The price signed by the Utah sugar beet growers basis provides for the as the final settlement. President and General Manager W. II. Wattia. of the Utth-Idah- o sugar company, issued the following statement: The ouestinn confronting each farmer should be: 'Can I afford to grow beets under the present contract and under the nresent outlook, as compared with the unrertain proceeds I am likely to receive from other crops? Growers should not forget that the contract is a participating one. In which a division of the proceeds of the sugar is made, and should not he misled' into thinkin that the initial navment of $7 to $7.50 is all him for his h rresent contract giv beets." That sugar companies were discriminating against Utah growers m offering a $7.50 minimum payment contract in Idaho was denied.

Weir, bureau of soils, United States department of agriculture. This principle is the growing of an intertilled crop, a small-grai- n crop, and a grass or leguminous crop in the order named, and in recurring succession on a given piece of land. Four stages of farming practice during; these 20 centuries have resulted in tne present system of crop- lng, and they are recounted by Mr. teir in order that the importance of crop rotation may be fully appreciated today. , When cereals became the chief source of food of the early peoples it was natural that these crops should be grown on the same fields year after year. It was noted, however, that such cropping resulted in land depletion, and that resting the land renewed its producing .power. This knowledge gave rise to the practice of resting" the land, or abandoning it, at intervals to the natural growth of rough and weedy herbage. The oldest record .of such a practice, according to Mr. Weir, is to be found in the Mosaic laws (about 1400 B. C.) commanding the people: And six years thou shajt sow thy land, and gather in the fruits thereof; but the seventh thou shalt let it rcBt and lie still." Thus we have the first or resting stage of cropping. About 29 B. C., the resting practice gave way to one in which bare fallow" was practiced to control the weeds. In this second stage the rotation consisted of a winter grain like wheat, followed by a spring grain like barley, which in turn was followed by bare fallow. The third stage was marked by the introduction of legumes or cloven into the cropping system. The Flemish armers about 1600 A. D. abolished the re fallow practice, and grew clover n rotation with hemp, turnips, and small grains. This was a big stop in he improvement of husbandry because it permitted more livestock to be kept and renewed as well as rested the land. The fourth stage was the introduction of intertillage in the field. Although the art of hoeing in between rows of plants grown in the garden had been practiced by the early apparently nobody .thought of carrying the practice to the fields until English farmers adopted it during the eighteenth century to meet the problem of weeds.
