Root Crop Every Fourth Year.

Few persons realize that large por-

the fact that for each three acres OF
cereals grown her farmers raise one
acre of hoed crops. thus producing a
root crop on each field every fourth

ever possible and are the greatest pro-
ducers of this vegetable in the world
So thoroughly do they appreciate the
influence of root crop on the yield
OF other crops that in sections where
there are no factories to which they
can sell their sugar beets they grow
beets or other root crops and feed
them to stock. as they do in Great
Britain But where there are sugar
factories the farmers secure the double
advantage of first selling the crop for
sugar and then hauling its full feeding

SUGAR BEET INDUSTRY.
Wages and Prices OF Beets Much High
err In the United States.

The difference between the condi-
tiOns under which beet sugar is produc-
ed in the Tnited States and Europe is
strikingly shown by Il report just pub
lished as Il United States senate doc
ument. Summarizing III reports from
various European countries, this docu-
ment shows that ca cents day was
the highest rate earned by men work
fng in the European beet fields. while
46 cents WAS the average rate. In all
the European countries, however. the
greater part of the field labor is done
by women and children at wages rang
ing from 10 cents a day for children
In Russia to Sc cents a day for women
in Denmark. To these poor lahnrers
the $3.50 a day. which represents the
average earnings of field workers in
the United States, must appear
princely income.
Among the factory workers engaged
in beet sugar production the difference
In the factories of the great European
sugar making countries. France and
Germany. receive an average daily
wage Of 81 cents. according to official
figures published by their own govern
ments. The average American wage
for employees In the beet sugar facfo-
ries, $3.50 day, is more than three
times as great.
Likewise the farmers who grow the
beets in Europe receive only S4 to
$3.50 ton for their crops. although
they pay four to five times as much
rent for their land as the American
farmer does.
While these figures serve to show
why 1t is that Europe can produce sug-
ar cheaper than the United States. it
is an interesting fact that the only
important country Of Europe where
the people are able to buy sugar
cheaper than in the United States ia
England. Even in England the price
paid for the sugar most generally used
Is as high as the prices paid here On
the whole. the lot of a Colorado sugar
beet grower or worker must be consid-
cred preferable to that of his Euro
pean competitor.

SUGAR
BEET SEED IN SIGHT

The Department of Agriculture at
Washington is run on the principle
that small perfections mean large prof
its. This is exemplified by the fact
that the government scientists have
tried for ten years to develop certain
type Of sugar beet seed The perfect
seed is now in sight. Its establishment
will mean an annual gain Of from $l1,-
100000 to $13,00O,OOO to the sugar beet
farmers of the west.
The possibility of developing the per-
feet seed was called to Secretary Will
sons attention by Truman G. Palmer,
secretary of the United States beet
sugar industry, in 1902. Secretary Will
son was confined to his home with
severe cold at the time, but he grew so
excited about the matter that he for
got his cold and started his scientific
men at work Immediately.
Here is the story of what the perfect
beet seed will do for the farmer:
The sugar beet crop needs unusual
care. The seed is drilled in rows, sew
eral beet seeds being planted to the
inch. When the beets are up laborers
go through the fields with hoe and
block them out, leaving single
small bunch every eight inches. And
here the trouble comes, for beet
seed is rarely a single seed. 1t nor.

here has been in operation only two

other result has been the investment of

Beet PUN as Cattle Food.

In summarizing the important fea-
lures of sugar beet growing in various
parts of the country the Department
OF Agriculture calls attention to Its
peculiar Importance to the middle
western states because of the extent
to which stock feeding is followed as
an industry in this territory. Beet
pulp--that is, what remains Of the
beet after the sugar has been extract
ed-has been proved to be the finest
feed yet discovered for milk cows
and for fattening cattle. sheep and
other farm animals. This Is true
whether the pulp is fed in its wet
state as it comes from the factory or
after being dried. A business of about
100000 year has grown up in the
sale of dried beet pulp, in which form
1t can be shipped to any distance

Four other men are said to be implicated and their arrest is expected.
 Granthin, according to his stosy was taken from his post at the Gal loway plant by six men, two of whom are identified as Denly and Collins and marched at the point of theil shotguns six miles into the woods. Af- ter being kicked and abused he was left there, with the warning that he would be killed if he returned. Last night he showed up again, reported  to the other deputies and the arrests followed

Unable to Count Beyond Four.

A close observer has definitely es- tablished the fact that magpies and rocks cannot count further than four. A rock never returns to its nest until 1t is quite satisfied that there is no danger near. When four hunters or less departed in succession from a nearby log cabin, the rock would re- turn to it's nest after the last had gone out of sight. But whenever there were more the bird lost count and re- turned to it's nest even while some were still in the hut.
