NEBRASKA'S SUGAR BEETS
Spcclnl Aiient of Department nf Auri
c-til tore .Studies tticclnlly
Tlielr DUenae.
LINCOLN, Aug. 2. To the Editor of The
Dee: The United States Department of
Agriculture, through Its special ngont,
George 0. Hedgcock, M, A of the Uni
versity of Nebraska, has been Investigating
tho sugar beets in the state with special
regard to tho diseases present, Mr. Hedg
cock; report's that the fields, especially In
.the South'' Platte region, have been greatly
retarded In growth by the drouth, yet the
crop as a whole is looking well. Deets
growing in an alluvial soil over a stratum
of nearly pure sand have In some Instances
been almost entirely deprived of their.
follago by the hot winds of tho last months.
Such beets are usually small, weighing not
over three ounces, but when tested for
their sugar content havo been found to
contnln over 14 per cent. The experimental
fields of beets at Superior arc located In
one of tho driest localities of the stnte, yet
these fields look as well as those at Grand
Island or Lincoln.
A few plants havo been found dying of
a dry root rot in nearly every field. This
Is probably due to tho bacteria which are
present In nil diseased plants. When tho
plants are first affected by this trouble
tho root' ceases to grow In diameter, the
flbro-vascular region becomes much- more
woody and Is dUcolored. A section through
an affected root reveals the presence of
concentric brown rings. Later the root
shrivels and rots, the leaves dying Just be
foro this takes place.
A wet root rot has killed a few plants at
Ames In nt least three different fields and
in one field at Grand Island. This Is evi
dently brought about primarily by a brown
mould, Rhlzoctonla, which penetrates tho
roots of the plants usually near the aur
faco of the soli and causes a general decay
of the parts affected. A liberal amount of
quicklime should bo npplled to the soil
around such plants. Diseased plants should
bo removed from the field, great care being
taken not to drop any portion ot tho dis
eased roots among the healthy plants of
the field. This trouble has. no doubt been
held In check by the dry weather, nalny
weather Inter may cause a serious Bpread
of this fungus unless preventive measures
nro taken. At present Its effect on tne
crop is trifling.
Tho leaf spot disease which wns so pre
valent last year is almost absent so far
this year. Tho only plants considerably
affected are the "mother beets," from
which seed Is raised. On these both
Cercospora and Phyllostlcta havo been
found. Tho former kills small round spots
on the leaf, such spots having at first a
purple margin with a gray center. The
latter usually causes tho formation of
larger circular spots of dead tissue, which
aro brown In color with characteristic
darker brown concentric rings. A number
of fields about Ames have the Phyllostlcta
spot present on a few plants.
The beets have been unusually free, from
the ravages of Insects tn most localities,
Tho grasshoppers are attacking tho plants
around tho edges of some tlelds. It Is easy
to combat this enemy. Prof, nruner ot
the department of entomology, University
of Nebraska, will suggest remedies for
Insect posts on application to him,
With showers at the right time in tho
future It Is reasonable to expect a crop of
beets this year which will he profitable to
both tho farmer and the sugar manufac
turer. This dry season will demonstrate
the superior drouth-reslstlng qualities of
the sugar beet as compared with corn.

(From n Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Aug. 2. (Special.) Lack of
proper facilities for confining prisoners has
esulted in the escape ot three convicts
from the state penitentiary. The missing
men are Lowell Adair, sentenced In Douglas
county to three jears for forgery and com
mitted January 14, 1101; Kred L. Denny,
sentenced In Cheyenne county to eighteen
months for grand larceny and committed
July S, 1901, nml Clyde Page, sentenced In
Buffalo county to one year for horse steal
ing. The latter had only four more months
to serve,
Bloodhounds were put on the trail at
3 o'clock this morning and they carried
the scent successfully to Hickman, eighteen
miles distant on tho Burlington railroad,
where It ,ts believed tho men boarded a
freight train. Page was left In charge of
ono of the boilers In the engine house last
night, but tho other prisoners were sup
posed to be In the cell house or In the
temporary sleeping quarters within the
prison wall.
The escape was effected by scaling an
eighteen-foot stone wall, Immediately back
of the shop building of the Lee Broom and
Duster company. The convicts ascended the
wnll by the use of a long piece of gas
pipe, which had been left with n pile of
building material. There wore no guards
on the wall last night. Several night
watchmen were on duty, but their posts
were so arranged that n largo portion of
tne wnn was necessarily left unprotected.
Crippled for I, nek of Ktinil.
Slnco the military cuards wern with.
drawn by order of the adjutant general,
because tho appropriation for the services
was exhausted, tho penitentiary has been
in a crippled condition. With the funds
aauanie it Is possible, the authorities snv.
to employ only enough civil guards for
uaytime service. There were 281 nrlsoners
when the count was tnken nt 6 o'clock last
nignt, only ISO prisoners can bo accom
modntcd in the cells now In position, the
other prisoners being kept In temporary
quarters, some in the cell house and others
in tne shop buildings.
Warden Davis said "today that Adair nnd
Denny wcro in the ccllhouse when the
count was taken last night and that after
supper they were sent with the empty
dishes to tho kitchen, which Is located on
the opposite side of tho prison yard. The
warden thinks the two men secreted thrm.
selves In ono of the buildings nnd by pre
vious arrangement were Joined by Page,
wncn an went to the prison wall nnd
escaped.
Seek the Perfect .School Mnrm,
State Superintendent Fowler today re
ceived the following communication from
H. I. Wasson, secretory of the Board of
Education of Pond Creek, Okl., put for
obvious reasons he says ho will be unable
to furnish the desired Information:
"Will you kindly cite us to a flrst-clasa

High school? We want a strong, healthy
and active young woman who Is up-to-date
and well educated. We want her to be of

We don't want a 'has been' nor a 'going

Tho effusions of college professors and
county superintendents nre played out with

"Wo will pay $50 a month for the right
kind of a teacher. I nm an old teacher
aril warm friend of education and of tho
schools of our city. I want a good looking,
neat and attractive person because I have
girls In the school and of course all ot
us havo children there. We want somcono
who Is an attractive examplo for the chil
dren and a good Instructor and manager.
too."
This letter reminded Superintendent
Fowler of a story and he Intends to bring
It to the attention of the Pond Creek edu
cator. "A man asked a horse dealer to purchase
for him a horse," said Mr. Fowler. "Tho
conditions were that the animal be a bright
bay, sixteen hands high, weight 1,000,
arched neck, mild eye, thin nostrils, flat
legs, trotting record under three minutes
nnd pacing record under 2:30 nnd of such
mlldand gentle disposition that the chil
dren could drive him. The price was lim
ited to $50.
"The horso dealer answered: 'But there
hain't no such hoss. If there was he'd
fetch fifty times the money you offer.' "

Urntli of Notorious Convict.
Mrs, Efflo Crakall, sentenced to twenty
years' pinal servitude for a loathsome
crime, died In tho state penitentiary early
this morning. For the last two weeks
she had boon suffering from typhoid fever.
Sho was sent up from Nuckolls county ten
years ago for assisting her husband In tha
ruination ot thirteen little girls. All tho
victims wero between the ages of 10 and
13, Crakall, a brutal degenerate of tho
roost repulsive type, also received twenty
years and for a decade has lived within
a short distance of hts partner In crime.
Mrs. Crakall was a frail, nervous woman
and previous to meeting Crakall was a
person of somo refinement and culture.
After receiving the extreme penalty of the
law only the discretion of the local ofll-'
cers kept the pair from being mobbed
while on their way to tho penitentiary.
Crakall exhibited no emotlor. at the news
of his wife's death: He will bo allowed
to foUow ber body to the prison grave.
Wrlstht Continue lloniliurilinent.
No lowering cloud or drenching rainfall
has followed the desultory booming of the
twenty-five mortars plauted In East Lin
coln by Rainmaker Wright. Nevertheless,
th; experimenter Is not discouraged. He
nsserts that the bombardment last Wednes
day would have produced rain had he not
yielded to exhaustion nnd given up the
combat. He alleges that larger funnels
are needed on the mortars. Stronger
charges of powder must be used In order
to cause a sufficiently great disturbance
In the atmosphere. The Intense condition
of the atmosphere, as he terms It, requires
more force at the present time to dislodge
the moisture. He will continue his bom
bardment, despite the appeals of near
neighbors, who wish to sleep during the
nights.
College Debt Almost Due.

At a meeting of the solicitors this morn

and make a desperate effort, to clear the
college of debt In tho allotted time.

LINCOLN, Aug. 2. (Special.) James
Wilson, secretary of ngrlculture, arrived
In the city late last night nnd this morn
Ing, nfter visiting the state farm, left on
the 10:30 Burlington train for Omaha.
Secretary Wilson declared that, although
everything wns pretty dry, Nebraska was a
first-class state nfter nil.
In company with Dr. C. E. Bcssoy of
the State university and several Burling
ton officials Secretary Wilson Inspected the
state farm. He spokn in enthusiastic
terms of the work that was being done nnd
expressed n hope that tho scope of tho
school might be broadened and the effi
clency of the work (Increased.
The primary object of the visit of tho
secretary to the west was for tho purpose
of ascertaining the extent of tho Injury
Inflicted by the drouth, In tho western
states, in addition to this he was care
fully observing the methods of ngrlculture
In vogue nnd the relative merits of cn?h
In regard to standing dry weather. From
th" highly-colored reports forwarded to
him Mr. Wilson declared that he could
form no reliable conclusions as to tho
condition of the corn crop and he enmo to
get some Information nt first hand.
From reports received from crop ex
ports In various parts of tho county Mr.
Wilson estimated the Lancaster county
corn crop nt about 15 per cent of tho
usual yield. He had not received enough
data this morning to form any conclusion
relative to tho extent of damage In the
entire state.
Secretary Wilson recommended thnt Ne
braska farmers plant more sugar beets
With proper caro he estimated the annual
value of such a crop at from $7,000,000 to
$12,000,000.
Ho also declared that canalgre, n sort
of dock, would flourish In this state. Tho
plant Is easily cultivated and tho root Is
In grent demand for use In tanning leather.
It Is much better for this nurnoso than
oak bark and tho market price Is generally
aooui imj n ton. Canalgro Is cultivated In
North nnd South Carolina, aa well as
Texas.
Secretary Wilson deplored the fact that
none of the agricultural colleges had pro
duced students skillful in soil analysis.
For two years he has been looking for a
couplo of men capable of conducting ex
periments In this line of work nnd Is
willing to credit any state with the appoint
ments that can produce the men.
He was accompanied on tho trip by J. A.
Wilson. Mr. Wilson will next visit Sioux
