IMPROVED SUGAR BETS.
The Two Varieties Most Widely Grown In
This Country.

The Two Varieties Most Widely Grown In
This Country.
The two varieties ,of sugar beets
which have been most widely grown in
this country are the Vilmorin Improved
and the observation-disclosures The certain
ty that the seed has been grown accord
ing to the most scientific methods is of
greater Importance to the beet grower
than the variety. The beet has reached
such q high >state Of perfection as to
make the least degree Of laxity in its
treatment exceedingly dangerous to it.
The general type Of the Vilmorin I'M.
proved is illustrated in bulletin issued
by tho United States agricultural de-
partment and is here reproduced. This
beet is the result Of So years Of perse-
vering selection. 1t is recognized that it
holds its sugar content better than any
other variety. In those factories in
which the Vilmorin Improved is manu-
featured in connection with other va
rietils ii is the custom to reserve this
variety for the end Of the season and to
work up the less reliable beets at an
earlier date. It's also said to resist bet
ter than any other variety tho unfavor-
able influence Of certain characters Of
soil and Of certain manures. In black
soils, rich in organic matter, it gives
great industrial results, while most 9TH
er varieties Of beets become watery or
saline in excess, Excessive quantities of
heterogeneous fertilizers. which are care
fully excluded from ordinary varieties,
can be applied with safety to the Viii
NORM Improved. From thousands Of
analyses it has been established that
the percentage of sugar which can be
obtained with this variety is about 6.
Its average yield under favorable con-
ditions can be stated to DO from ~ to
l6 tons per acre.
Perhaps more important for general
cultivation than the Vilmorin variety

ments into three classes. The first class

TURKEY MOBILIzrNG TROOPS.
The Preparations on a Scale to Meet
n New Foe.

N New Foe.
London, May IA dispatch to the
Standard from Constantnople says it Is
reported that orders have sent out for
the mobilization of the fifth and sixth
army corps reserves, stationed at Bagdad
and in Syria, and for the immediate dis
patch of fifty battalions to Konieh. from
which point they will be taken to Ismeed
in Asia Minor.
These preparations, which involved an
expense that Turkey is quite unable to
bear, cannot be required against Greece.
and they excite anxiety, as indicating that
Turkey is preparing either to confront
more formidable foe or to place herself
in such a strong position that she will
be able to ignore the powers and their
plan of mediation.
Staff officers have been sent to the de-
pots of the fourth army corps at Erzeroum
and Erzingen to report whether there is a
sufficient supply of arms and equipments
to mobilize the reserves of that corps.
Six officers of the Turkish infantry, to-
gether with the commandants at Loupos,
Philliphida and other stations, have ar
rived in chains. They will be tried for
neglect of duty in the face of the enemy
