SUGAR BEET SEED.

The annual report of the secretary of
agriculture, which has just been made
public, says that the government
spends money freely in distributing
seeds and plants among the people. The
policy of the department of agriculture
in the future will be to encourage The
introduction of what will enable our
people to diversity their crops and keep
at home money that is now sent abroad
to buy what the United States should
produce.
Seven tons of imported sugar beet
seeds were distributed last spring in q
states, among $4,000 farmers, through
the experiment stations of those states,
to ascertain where the sweetest beetS
can be produced. Samples are now be-
ing analyzed at the experiment sta
tions, and where they are not pre-
pared to do the work the bees are
forwarded to the laboratory of the de-
partment at Washington. There IS
abundant encouragement to lead IS to
conclude that our country will, within
a few years, produce what sugar it re-
uuires. The department will collect all
the facts regarding the work of this
season and publish them for general
distribution. The pioneer work will be
pushed energetically during the next
year.
The work of the investigation of
ugar-producing plants contemplates
the analysis of samples grown by
farmers in different parts of the coun-
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-11-22

try from seeds furnished by the de-
partment. From arrangements which
have already been made by these farm
ers. it is indicated that 5000 or SOU
SAMPLES of beets will be sent to the
department for analysis during the
months of September, October and NO
vember. Preparations have been maze
for the accomplishment OF large
amount of chemical work, and 1t is
hoped that valuable information may
he secured thereby in regard to the
quality of soil and climate in different
localities where beets can be produced
with a high content of sugar. A study
of the composition of beets grown from
high-grade seeds, under the direction
of the chemical division, will also be
conducted. These beets have been
grown at six of the experiment stations
of the country, so distributed as to rep
resent a wide range of climatic condl-
lions.
In the miscellaneous work of the
division it is also proposed to continue
the investigations which have been I'M
dertaken, and not concluded, regarding
methods of determining starch in ce-
reals and other starch-containing
plants This is one of the most diff
cult operations in analytical aSrlcul-
tural chemistry, and has been the sub

the world.
MORE WEATHER STATIONS.
An increased appropriation of $16O,34S
in the estimates for the weather bu-
reau for the next fiscal year has been
asked for. This increase contemplates
the establishment of several stations
in the southwest, where an extensive
area is not now included in the do
! main covered by meteorological obser-
vations This unprotected region in
cludes large portions of Nevada, Utah
Arizona, New Mexico, and southeast
ern California. Four or five additional
stations are asked to be established ir
this territory.
The work of the biological survey il
a prime necessity, in order that the
department may have a correct knowi
edge regarding the localities to which
imported seeds and plants should b'
sent.

FRIGHTFUL COLLISION.
Result of a Motorman Disobeying
Orders-Injury Done.

Baltimore, Nov. Because Theo-
dore R. Merrick, a Iiiotorman in the
employ of the Baltimore & Northern
railway, disobeyed orders, officers OF
that road say, there was a frightful
headend collision this morning on the
line in which Merrick was almost in
stantly killed and William f. 6orner,
motorman on the car which was going
in the opposite direction, received IN
iuries from which he died about half
an hour later.
The two conductors and passengers
on both cars were more or less IN
iured, although the injuries of neither
of them are supposed to be dangerous.
The most serious injured are: Con-
ductor Thomas Ewing, aged 80 wears,
and Charles Snowden, colored, aged ~
years. Ewing is suffering from a slight
conclusion of the brain and is badly
bruised on the head, face and body
Snowden's cheek is lacerated by
broken glass and he received several
severe cuts on the head. His chin was
cut to the bone and there is long,
deep cash in his neck.
Both of these men are at the hospital
and both will recover, unless comp1ca-
tons develop.

FRENCH RECIPROCITY.
Matters Not at That Point Where
Agreement is Visible.


Washington, Nov. 21.-There is no i'm
mediate prospect of the conclusion of
the reciprocity negotiations between the
United States and France. Both gov
ernments have presented elaborate sta
tistics to show their respective posi-
lions in any reciprocity arrangement,
but the matter has not progressed to
the point where an agreement can be
foreseen. Having presented the French
side of the case from every standpoint,
NJ. Patenotre, the French ambassador,
has now referred the question back to
his government, and is awaiting in
structions. He had hoped to conclude
the negotiations before departing to his
new post at Madrid, but this seems
hardly likely, owing to the many delays
which are occurring. He had expected
to leave the latter part OF this month.
but may defer his trip until the latter
part of December. Madame Patenotre
will not go till spring, owing to the Sc
verify of an ocean trip in mid-winter.
The new French ambassador. M.
Cambon, will leave Paris Dec. Is, arriv-
Ing here about the first of the new year.
Madame Cambon will not come to this
country during the first year of the am
bassador's service. AS the reciprocity

Especial Correspondence

Washington, Nov. 17-NO report has
yet been received at the Indian Office
from either Captain Beck, Indian agent
at the Uncompahgre reservation, or
from the allotment commissioners.
Great confidence is expressed by all
the officials that the chiefs, who lately
visited Washington, took back with
them an entirely favorable opinion, and
will make a favorable report, and that
not the slightest difficulty will be ex-
perienced hereafter with the work of
allotment.
incidentally it may be stated that at
the interior department much credit is
given Captain Beck for the distinct
progress made as a result of the visit,
and that his work in this connection
has added to his already excellent rep
utation as an efficient and valuable
agent.
Whatever the final result of the al
lotment work may be, there seems to
be small doubt that there will be an
effort made this winter to legislate still
further relative to the Uncompahgre
lands. 1t is, however. too early to
state what form it will take. The mat
ter has already been considered in sew
eral different shapes, and the compile
ton of the allotment will, of course,
necessitate it's presentation as a new
and hitherto untried legislative propo-
! Sition.
PIE-GRABBERS IMPATIENT.
1t is authoritatively announced that
there will be no more important NOM
| nations until the president has COM
pleted his first annual message. He
has been diligently at work on this for
some time, and has put more labor
upon it that has been customary on
the part of recent presidents. Little
interest attaches to its possible con-
tents, but great deal of concern is
expressed because of the interruption
of the flow of pap entailed by the work
of completing the message.
The few Utah politicians who have
been here are very anxious that the
president and Senator Hanna shall al
last definitely decide who they desire
to trust in Utah federal Offices, ant
elect which of the several Republican
factions in the 45th state shall be en-
trusted with the work of getting dele
gates for Mckinley in 1900. For thi'
