carefully cultivated and results close
ly noted BY men experienced in the
culture and manufacture Of the sac
charinc root. Two varieties Of seed,
imported from Germany, known as
the White Improved Vilorim and
the Kleinwanlebener species will be
sown. The product will be thor
oughly tested, the yield noted and
other information obtained. Pri-
marily the roots will be used for
feeding stock but later, if the tests
show satisfactory results, a sugar
