It gathers su gar from the sunlight, taking for it none of the valuable elements from the soil, so that returning the by-product to the land practically restores the original fertility. Aside from the benefaction of soil aeration, resulting from a deep crop and the necessity for deep plowing, the sugar beet itself produces a fertil izer. Of the mass of fine fibrous mat ter undisturbed when the crop is taken, an average of a ton to the acre r is left in the ground to decay and add humus to the soil. Each rootlet as it decays leaves a tiny open channel down which rain 'can percolate to the lower strata and there remain stored for a later crop. The beet pehaps gave the tip to the dry farmer. Records from five hundred farms show the incease in yield of other crops through rotation with sugar beets to be: wheat following beets, 49.87 per cent; corn, 24 per cent; oats, 50 per cent; barley, 56 per cent; rye, 120 per cent; (few reported) po tatoes, 45 per cent; beans, 40 per cent; timothy, 28 per cent. So valuable has it proved to the soil i that European sugar-growing coun 1 tries foimerly paid out enormous sunis 1 in export bounties simply to increase I the sugar acreage. After a long tariff 1 fight, especially between England and 1 Germany, this formidable competition I with the Cuban and colonial crop was I finally done away with at the Brussels I convention. I Before the war, seventy per cent of I the beet seed was grown in Saxony. Ninety per cent was grown by Ger mans, either in Germany or in Russia. Seed growing requires a type of pa 1 tlence that doesn't flourish in America. I The process of selection has pro I duced a beet from which wo get more sugar than the total weight of the beet with which the process began. Ths 1 first step is a miscellaneous planting, I which the seed selector examines 1 plant by plant for spread of leaf and i size, of leaf veins. There are 48,000 I plants in an average field. These se lections are marked and pulled before the others, and examined for size, weight, color and texture. Those that pass are put through the chemical test, a cylindrical section taken from each and analyzed for sugar After a winter in silo they are ana lyzed again in spring to note the de terioration and finally planted and al lowed to go to seed. .That first crop of seed, the elite seed, is never sold. You couldn't buy it at any price. The seed from the first harvest of elite seed, sells from ten to fifteen dollars a pound. That is the laborious process Amer ica has found it cheaper to let other people run. But the war came and the sugar growers were up against it. Great Britain blockaded German ports and would not allow exchange of Seed for food that Germany asked. Most of the elite seed from Ger many was grown on Russian farms. The sugar men promptly sent agents to Russia where seed had been sell ing at eight and a half cents a pound. Inside of sixty days it was selling from twenty to thirty-five cents, in advance. Six thousand miles from point of export ,too! But as Mr. Palmer remarked, our fellows were nervy. They sent men over to buy that seed, not onl yto buy it but to convoy it. Every trainload had to have a man with it. If the war ministry happened to want those cars for troops the seed was dumped and the agent had to look after the seed and hire another train. Generally they had one awful time. An American seed company has been organized with farms in Idaho. This year the country will produce nearly fifty per cent of all the United States will use. It will cost twelve or thirteen cents against the eight and a half cents formerly paid abroad, but it will make the sugar industry inde pendent of any other country. And the sugar beet could make us entirely independent for our "sweeten in'." The area in the United States suitable for beet culture is 270,000,000 acres. If onl ya quarter of that area were cultivated and on only one out of every fifty tilled acres bets were grown, the product would, enable us to stop using foreign sugars. The Na tion's Business. A LITTLE HINT. Janet, aged nine, was taken by her mother to lunch at the house of a friend. The hostess was of the talkative variety, and ,in her enjoyment of cer tain interesting little incidents she was relating, quite forgot to give Janet anything in the shape of food. After a lapse of several minutes, Janet could endure this situation no longer. So, raising her plate as high as she could, she demanded in a shrill voice: "Anybody here want a clean plate?"

"Yes," replied Mr. Cumrox,' "and you're trying" to get me to mix in, so that if you don't get on well together you can say it was partly my fault. I decline to concern myself in the tranaction."
