SUGAR BEETS MUST
HAVE SUNSHINE
AFTER FIVE YEARS OF ExPERI-
MENTS DEPARTMENT OF AGRI-
CULTURE SUBMITS RESULTS OF
THE INVESTIGATIONS.

Washington, January 5.-That temper
ature and sunshine were the dominant
factor in producing the best quality of
sugar beets, Is announced as the result
Of five years of experiments which have
just been concluded by the chemistry di-
vision of the Department of Agriculture.
The data obtained is expected by agri-
cultural officials to save immense
amounts to capital by pointing out in
what sections of the country beet sugar
growing industries should be instituted.
The tests were made in localities ranging
from New York to North Carolina and
entirely covered the continent The en-
vironments which influence the sugar
beet considered were the soil and its
cultivation and appropriation, artificial
cultivation, temperature, hours of sun
shine and of cloudiness, elevation and
latitude and longitude.
The results indicate that low temper
ature is the greatest of these factors in
producing beets rich In sugar, with sun
shine next in importance. The average
temperature of the localities according to
these results should not exceed 70 degrees
Fahrenheit during the three growing
months, June, July and August. Above
this figure the sugar richness of the beets
constantly diminishes. and the longer the
day and consequent longer hours Of sun
shine makes location best lifted for
high sugar beets.

Senator McCreary won a victory before
the foreign relations committee OF the
Senate this morning. 1t was the consid-
Grafton of the proposed arbitration with
Great Britain to submit all differences
to The Hague tribunal. The southern
people and southern states have feared
that if the original treaty was agreed to-
foreign holders of reconstruction and
Confederate bonds issued by southern
states amounting to millions OF dollars
would attempt to force payment OF the
money through The Hague tribunal.
The Kentucky Senator contended that
this was a possibility, and in order to
prevent any such action he caused to be
inserted in the treaty these words in ef-
feet that differences which affect the
vital interests, the independence or the
honor of the contracting countries. or the
interests of any state of the United States,
shall not be referred to the tribunal" The
committee adopted the Kentucky Sena-
tors suggestion and he is receiving the
congratulations of all the southern Sem
atnrs. The words he inserted will not
destroy the purpose Of the arbitration.
but VIII protect the interests Of every
southern state.

Trade.

Hay, through the Secretary of the
Treasury, has asked Congress TO ap.
propriate $500 annually to provide for

Is Victory for Roosevelt.

In the favorable report of the nomina-
tion of the negro, w. ID. Crum for the
Charleston, S. c., collectorship TODAY
President Roosevelt wins a big personal
victory and Is naturally elated over the
fact that the committee has after four
failures finally favorably reported the
nomination. The democrats, under the
leadership of Senator Tillman, decided
some time ago that they would cease
opposition, and when the case was called
up today as 1t has been a score of times.
there was no objection to a roll call and
the nomination was taken out of COM
mittee by strict party vote.
1t will be confirmed at the next ex-
ecutive session. when Crum will pro-
coed to draw on the treasury for back
pay.
Senator Tillman will make a short
speech defining his position on the mat
ter when vote will be reached There
Is no confirmation of the report that
Crum is to resign and be given another
position. The Charleston co1lectorship is
said to be dwindling in Importance and
no trouble is anticipated over his ad-
ministration of the Office.

Department Is All Riqht.

The general opinion among southern
members of Congress in the cotton de-
bate today was that the reports of the
agricultural department are as nearly cor
rect as possible and of incalculable ad-
vantge to the producers of the staple.
Representative Small of North Carolina
thinks the government should not stop
with the work of furnishing information
as to the yield of the cotton crop, but
that it should go further and should give
through the consular agents and others
the demand for the product abroad.
1T occurs to me-" said he, that Mr.
Livingston's resolution was ill-timed The
producers of cotton were naturally con-
oeYned over the depressed situation, and
the effort to heap censure upon the de-
partment for forecasting the big yield
found many supporters for the time be-
ing. Instead of blaming the department,
the growers should have blamed them
selves. The department only portrayed
existing conditions. and the last estimate
is generally considered accurate The
action of farmers all over the south in
the past few weeks has shown conclusive
ly that the crop was too large"

Referee Charles H. Scott is expected to

friends are somewhat encouraged tonight
over the report that Booker T. Washing

try to hold his position for him.
1t is indisputabe that Washington pos

should he feel warrented in asking for
Hughes retention the case will at least
be doubtful. All the Birmingham people
In town tonight are strong advocates of
Hughes retention and IL the occasion

appointment. AS the case stands, how
ever, 1t is difficult to see how the Pres
ident can go over the head of the de-
partments recommendation and turn
down his Postmaster General, who de-
clares that Hughes has to go.
