large scale in different sections Of
the Eastern beet area have shown
that the leaf.spot may be readily
controlled by the application of Bor-
deaux mixture. This remedy has
now come into general use.
SIN my last report attention was
called to the efforts beng made in
the matter of developing sugar beet
seeds with single germs. The sin.
gle-germ SEED would do much to di
minish the labor Of thinning. The
burea work in this field has been
very satisfactory. Although the
work has been running for only two
seasons, decided progress has been
made, and the single-germ seeds
that have been selected have been
found much more vigorous than the
multiple germ balls. The selected
strains grown this year show
a decided tendency to the
production of larger number
of single-germ balls than the parent
beet from which the selection was
started, the average being about 20
per cent. In one case, over 5000
single seed balls were found on one
beet. The work this year has been
conducted in Utah and other sec
tions where the sugar beet is at its
best, and Indicates that ultimately
we shall in all probability be sue
cessful in the production Of beet
having the desirable quality of pro
dncing ball with only single
germ, that will substantially save
hand thinning and avoid much ex-
pense in growing"
The secretary states that the work
of planting on forest reserves in Col
orado and other Western states is in
progress.

SUGAR BEET INDUSTRY.
DEVELOPMENT OF American Grown
Seed Proving Excelient-Fer-
tiIizers and EpidemicS.

Washington, Dec. l. In his an
nual report, Secretary of Agricult
ure James Wilson dwells on the vast
crops of the nation. OF the sugar
beet industry, the secretary says;
THE development of the sugar
beet industry continues satisfactory.
The bureau of plant industry is max
ing an effort to improve the condi-
tions affecting this crop in the mat
ter of providing better seed, en-
couraging the use of fertilizers
are likely to do good, studying the
diseases with view to discovering
remedies for them, securing improv-
ments in the matter of seed by the
production of beets which will give
seed of single ball or germ, ect A
little more than two years ago the
department again took up the work
of establishing sugar beet seed cult
ure in the United States, and since
that time work has been going on in
four representative sections of this
country. Strains of pedigreed seed
are being established in New York,
Michigan, Utah and Washington
state, while in Utah and Washing
ton the industry is already assuming
commercial importance.

Political Advertising,

During the campaign nervous re
publicans we're accustomed to say:
"Cortelyou is light weight. He
doesn't know where he is at. Oh,
for Hanna"
Results have proven that
Mr. Cortelyou not only knew where
he was at but he was up to date.
There was general apathy. Peo-
pie would not talk politics, and it
was difficult to get them to attend
political meetings. Cortelyou knew
they were reading the newspapers
and magazines and he began adver
tising Special, we'll written articles
occupying pages and double pages
in the magazines and selected news
papers were used. In fact, it is an
open secret that this advertising
was the largest item in the bill OF
expense.
These advertisements were
adroitly written. Roosevelt was ex-
plotted. There was very little about
politics. Sketches and extracts from
the Presidents speeches and books
were used. Cortelyou we'll under
stood that while the American peo-
pie like principles they like them
best when embodied in man. The
man Roosevelt was the theme.
Results justified the expenditure
for advertising. In these days OF
large newspaper and magazine circu
lation there is only one way to get
publicity and that is to buy space.
Its judicious use will work wonders.

On the other hand p. E. Van Den
burg over at II ocky Ford, this state,
harvested thirty tons to the acre,
averaging a gross income per acre
of $3.50 on land for which only three
years ago he paid SIS an acre. This
is not an exceptional case for r. o.
Mclean in the same district aver
aged twenty nine to the acre. X. p.
Davie of Grand junction, at the
other end OF the state, got thirty six
tons to an acre of sronnd. Arthur
Williams of Fort Collins got twenty
three tons per acre. John Childress
of Berthoud had nineteen acres
which averaged twenty-three tons to

many other large yields of which we
have not heard.
