( W. Wiley and Charles F. Saylor, who
were instrumental in establishing
the sugar beet here point to it as be-
ing one Of the most important fac
tors in the future development OF
the productiveness of American soil,
because Of its value in crop rotation
and the intensive methods of farm
Ing which it brings about wherever

Bureau of Plant Industry has SUI
Hciently under way to predict a
successful outcome of an experiment
to produce a race of what are term
ed sfngle-germ beet balls. The seed,
or beet balls, now used in sowing
the beet crop contain from one to
six germs each capable Of producing
a plant 1t is necessary in planting
the sugar beet to use six OF these beet
balls to insure the proper stand OF
crops and IL each one grows the re-

slight years there will be available

no more than six plants II all grow.
The saving which this will bring
about Is estimated at $500 per acre
The estimation in which the beet is
held by the farmers was shown not
long ago when they protested before
Congressional committee against
the destruction OF the sugar beet in
dustry through the elimination of
the tariff on sugar, saying that not
only would they lose an enormous
amount Of money directly but much
more indirectly because of the in
creased yields of oats, rye, whea.,
corn and potatoes due to rotation

Plants are What Government
Looks for on All

| Washington, April 2S--That 81
immigrants representing practically
every quarter of the globe have beel
| admitted TO this country in the las,
fourteen years in spite of the fact
that they could neither read nor
write, and were deaf, dumb and
blind into the bargain, is a fact as
little known as that Uncle Sam has
brought them in without consultine
their wishes and set them to worl
without even cent OF wages. Most
surprising of all, however. through
the activities of these apparently
useless aliens hundreds OF millions
of dollars have been added to the
country's wealth
These curious immigrants, how
ever, some of which are aristocrats
and some plebians, are not human
beings, but plants, and the merhoG

fact, Uncle Sam for decade and 8
half has Systematically been en-
couraging vegetable immigrants To
assist in this work a plant immigra-
ton station is MAINTAINED here where
each specimen arriving goes through
an examination. Each specimen !.
scrutinized to see that il is free
from disease and likely to become G
desirable citizen and If so helped &c

How successful these aliens have
been is shown in the fact that in thu
last fourteen years thirty-one thous
and of them have been admitted BY
the Bureau and put to work in
creasing our national wealth and
diversifying our food supply.
