THE ENGLISH SYSTEM
OF ROOT SELECTION
Helped Increase Sugar OF Beeto
Surprising Extent.

vided material for the examinations
required, the sugar content being de-
termined both chemically and by
means of the polariscopc. When the
separate lots were carefully sampled
the average of the two was accepted
as fair test. The value of test
OF this kind was very great. but at the
same time It was obvious that for seed
growing purposes 1t was too drastic,
for the whole root, as may be seen,
was destroyed. In view of this whole
sale destruction the apparatus pic
tured was brought into use, which en-
abes core" to be extracted for
analytical purposes out Of the indi-
vidual or mother" root. leaving the
same perfectly available for seed pur-
poses, for if the extracted core prove
to have attained certain standard OF
excellence in the tests to which II has
been subjected the root is planted
not one whit the worse for the opera
ton of "coring" AS the method Of
examination comprises four distinct
tests representing four values, a sys-
tenn has been adopted whereby the
combined qualities are registered un-
der a common denomination. The
combined qualities of the poorest beet
reached only 1915 per cent of value,
while those of the best amounted to
25.45 per cent. of value. These are two
extremes, and they show at glance
the necessity of disca;ding the one
and fostering the other.
The determination of the amount OF
water In roots is q somewhat tedious
operation. and is as follows A por.
tion of the core is cut quickly into very
thin shoes, weighed and spread out
on filter papers to dry, or strung up
on a thread and put into a special
oven heated to 50 degrees or GO de-
grees Centigrade. careful attention be-
ing paid that not the slightest atom
is lost. When dried and brittle. this
is ground to powder, and the operation
Is finished when the powdered dry
core ceases TO lose weight. The va
rlous records of the great weight OF
! roots grown per acre give one an
extremely erroneous impression as to
the actual amount of food produced.
The same Is true of all sorts which
perhaps at best only contain about IL
per cent of solid matter, many con.
tanning, maybe, only half that qnan.
tity. The quantity of water contained
in different roots Is somewhat as fol.

amount of dry matter. 1t is preemi.
nently a reasonable assumption, and
one that cannot be gainsad, that the
higher the specific gravity the better
the quality. The principle underlying
the term specific gravity, or relative
density. and the method adopted in de.
termining 1t, may be explained simply
IN the following way: Any body float.
ing in water displaces exactly its own
weight of water. and when quite I'M
mersed displaces its own volume
therefore, when We know the weight
and volume OF body, the density is
readily determined by dividing ITS
weight by its water" bulk. In the IL.

Some years ago there was inaugu.
rated in connection with root crops in
England, by a London seed firm, what
is known ms the Garter" method of
root selection. which is based to some
extent upon the methods in use in Eu-
rope, supplemented and improved by
the accumulated experience of the firm
throughout the greater portion of last
century. The new method of root se-
lection as propounded by the orig.
inators, and which will prove of spe.
cial benefit to American farmers, EN-.

FIRE CAUSED MILTON LOSS.
South Boston, Va, Swept by Flames
Yesterday

DANVILLE, Va, March 29.-For the sec
ond time during the past twelve months the
town of South Boston, located thirty miles
north of Danville, was visited by a disas-
trous fire yesterday afternoon and last
night, entaling a loss estimated between
SSO0,G00 and 100000 Almost the entire
tobacco section of the town and a consid-
cradle portion of the business section We're
destroyed. The heaviest losers from the
fire will probably be the r. ]. Reynolds To-
bacco Company, in whose plant it origi-
mated.
The fire started in the steam tobacco fac
tory of the Reynolds company and was
caused by some mishap to one of the drying
machines. In short time the building, a
fourstory brick structure, was in flames.
The loss of the building and machinery is
estimated at between $4,000 and $4,000.
The fire then extended to the storage ware
house of the Reynolds company, a three
story building, in which were stored hun
dreds of hogsheads of tobacco, valued at
100000 more. The building was worth
5000.
From the Reynolds factories the fire then
spread to the storage house of the H. A.
Thomas Lumber Company, then to the fac
tory of George A. Lea & Co. of Danville.
and to the storage warehouse of 7. b.
johnson, tobacconist who was a heavy
loser in the fire last summer. The build
ing occupied by Lea & Co. valued at
about $10,0 600 and the stock of tobacco be-
factory was stored tobacco valued at fully
$50, 600
The following other buildings and most
of their contents We're destroyed: Stebbins,
Spraggns & Lawson, wholesale grocers =;
Easley Grocery Company, wholesale grOcers;
EaSley'S tobacco warehouse, Virginia Bot
Ting Company, d. B. PattersOns Saloon,
Turner's saloon, Grffin's harness factory,
Bank of South Boston, in which building
the telephone exchange was located and
burned; Johnson & LlOyd's dry goods es-
| tablishment. Perry Grocery Company,
Flags warehouse, Star warehouse, J. w.
Elliott, groceries; ]. L. Neal, dry goods; J..
G.. Patterson's saloon and Collins livery
stables.
In addition to the above a large number
of small houses, including cottages in the
negro settlement in the vicinity of the to-
baCco district, We're burned No one sus-
tanned any injuries in the fire and no rail-
road property was destroyed.
Shortly after the fire broke out the Dam
| Vile fire department was asked for aid
and responded.
1t is said that the loss is covered by
about three-fourths insurance. South Bos-
| ton is one of the largest tobacco markets
| in the country. The big plant of the Ameri-
can Tobacco Company is reported to have
been saved. Early last summer a fire in
| the heart of the town caused loss of near
| ly half a million dollars.

increase over 1900 of 1912, 1885, or 1919 per
cent, while the estimated population of
the United States, exclusive of these cities,
showed an increase of 1, 4S0,00S, only SO
per cent.
The lightweight cities with an estimated
population of $1,000 more in 1906 had a
total estimated population of 1911 ,167, an
