suggest The principles Of feeding the
sugar crops, the methods Of culture
and handling, the attention and skill
of the workers, are such as to create In
every field and factory devoted to
sugar culture an agricultural expert
ment station of the highest type. The
soil and climatic conditions in the great
er part Of the United States are thor
oughly favorable to beet culture, and
America is the greatest sugar market
In the world.
"In the case of the sugar beet the
crops which are grown in rotation with
it yield very much larger returns than
when the old fashioned system of agri-
culture prevailed. The reflex action of
this influence becomes a benefit to
American agriculture the value OF
which 1t would be difficult to measure
in dollars and cents.
wherever the sugar beet Is cult
waited the farmers are all prosperous,
no matter what kind of other crops
they raise. The beet generally i'm
proves the productiveness Of the soil In
all kinds of agriculture. 1t causes the
employment Of more labor and indi-
rectly benefits commerce and transpor'
tation and produces in every commu-
nifty conditions of prosperity in agri-
culture which 1t would be difficult to
bring about in any other way.
1.-THE culture Of the beet brings into
the neighborhood the large sugar fac
tory using fud and other raw mate
rial, with its complement Of laborers
and experts, thus giving better and
more profitable market to the surround
ing farmers for all their products.
"While there has been a general tend.
ency toward the reduction of tariff du-
ties, this tendency has not reached In
many cases the extent Of the abolition
Of import duties altogether. In any
changes of this sort let as much as pos
sible be saved to the farmer. In view
Of the great Importance Of domestic
sugar production to the prosperity of
the American farmer, IL tariff adjust.
ments are 10 be made, believe that
this should be the last rather than the
first point at which TO remove the Gus
toms duty.
zone Of the best things about sugar
beet culture from the point of view OF
agricultural improvement is that 1t fits
in so perfectly with dairying and stock
growing. IL Is, of course, one Of the
elementary facts of practical dairying
that the rearing and keeping of live
stock afford the easiest, cheapest and
most natural means Of improving the
fertility of the soil.'

Beet Pulp 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 Ii 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
II can be shipped to any distance.

Farming practices in vogue upon a
great majority of the cultivated tracts
In America are obsolete" declares DR..
Harvey w. Wiley, former chief chem
list of the Department of Agriculture.
'In agriculture we are fully fifty
years behind Europe, and the better
utilization of our farm resources is one
Of the most important problems before
the country.
"Old fashioned. slipshod methods of
producing wheat and cotton and corn
are still in vogue in over 80 per cent
of the country devoted to these indus
tries" said DR.. Wiley, continuing his
impeachment of our lax farming
methods. THE growing of these
crops until within a few years could
not have been ranked as agriculture,
but should have been described as
highway robbery Of the soil. AS re-
suit the average production per acre
of these crops has fallen to a mini
mum.
Farming, for one thing, must be
made more attractive. 1t should be
made more profitable. This will be
done as our farmers learn more thor
oughly the principles of intensive cult
walton and get a knowledge of the
methods of feeding the soil and Of the
rotation of crops.
"To this end i have been preaching
for the past thirty years the gospel of
the sugar beet.

requires the highest style Of intensive
culture that science has been able to

demonstration farms, and the National
Corn Exposition. AS head Of the ex-
tension department Of Iowa State Col.
lege of Agriculture he did a work
which, Senator Cummins says, up to
the present time has increased the
wealth of Iowa $4,000, 900.
The object of the H c Service Blu.
reau is the promotion Of agricultural
education, and cooperation which
will tend to raise the whole tone OF
commercial, industrial and farm life.
Since agriculture is. the basis OF pros.
perity and progress, naturally farm
problems claim first attention. The aim
Is higher efficiency, both on and off
the farm.
To do big work big organizat ton
Is necessary. Not only the bigness,
but the perfection OF the international
organization as we'll appealed to Pro.
lessor Holden. The big general agen-
cies, scattered all over the United
States and Canada; the statesmen,
travellers and expert machine men;
the 10000 dealers--every one, so far
as possible. is to be made an apostle
Of better farming.
For years the International Har-
vester Company has realized the i'm
portance of service. II has spent mil
lions OF dollars in the perfection of la
bor-saving machines, and now the
company is going in for direct service
direct to the farmers, and direct to
the farmers children, that the men
and women of tomorrow may be more
capable and SO more prosperous than
the men and women Of today.
1t is no longer a theory that II we
are to get the most out OF life we
must raise more per acre. "Inten-
sive farming" is In the air. II is the
battle cry OF peace and plenty. But
raising more is the result Of mind,
not muscle. We must know. And
not only that, we must know we
know, and know why we know. We
must know good seed from bad, right
cultivation from wrong, and the why's
and wherefors Of climates, soils,
fruits, cattle, horses, poultry, and SO
forth.
For these things the bureau was
established. But the bureau and
Professor Holden see more than an
average increase Of a few bushels.
They see time coming when farmers
will raise twice as many bushels OF
corn, wheat and oats to the acre,
and like yields OF all other kinds OF
farm products. They see a time when
farmers and farmers wives and their
children will think more and work
less. Every bushel raised means Just
that much profit. and the profits Of
the farm promote commerce and in
dustry.
After a period Of good work In Mich.
igan agricultural college, better work
at Illinois, and great work at Iowa,
Professor Holden now enters upon a
worlds work. While in future Pro-
lessor Holden will designate Chicago
ls home, he says he is not leaving Iowa
he is merely carrying Iowa to the
rest Of the world.

HOW 1T WORKED IN OHIO.
Paulding Banker Shows How Sugar
Beet Culture Increased Property.

PauIdina Banker Shows How Sugar
Beet Culture Increased Property.
That the establishment Of the sugar
beet industry in Ohio will result In an
increase of $2O,0OO,OO0 in the value of
farm lands in the state by the end Of
the present year is the statement Of G.
II. Allen, banker Of Paulding, o.
"Ohio and Indiana should become as
great producers Of sugar as Michigan"
said Mr.. Allen, land they will unless
hostile legislation by congress inter
feres with the natural development of
this industry. In Paulding county
alone, although the beet sugar factory
here has been In operation only two
years, the value Of farm property has
Increased 100000 as result Of the
introduction of sugar beet culture. An
other result has been the investment of
$5,00O000 or more In other beet sugar
factories in this section of the state
within the past year, which In turn
will vastly increase the value of the
farm land surrounding them, adding
$2O,00O,OO0 or more to the agricultural
wealth of this region.
aside from the direct financial re-
turns that have followed the estab-
lishment Of the sugar beet industry In
Ohio, there are numerous other benefits
which, though not so direct, are no
less important. To obtain good results
from beet culture farmers have found
it necessary to put more hand labor
on the land. The result is that thou
sands of men, women and children
are being taken from the overcrowd-
ed sections of the cities Of the state
and set to work on the land, a back to
the farm movement that Is of real
practical value.
"This increased tillage of the soil is
the very best-and, in fact, the only
effective-means Of overcoming the
weeds that are the chronic enemies of
the farmer, choking his crops and ex-
hausting his soil. Besides all this, we
have found that every other crop rails
ed upon land that has been put into
sugar beets shows a greatly increased
yield.
upon piece of land that had been
In beets the previous season 1 myself
raised seventy bushels of oats to the
acre, while across the fence one Of my
neighbors, on exactly the same kind Of
land, got yield Of not quite fifty. Last
year on another piece Of land that had
been used for sugar beets grew fifty
bushels Of wheat to the acre where the
ordinary crop is between twenty-five
and twenty-five bushels. Farmers have
learned so well that sugar land in
creases the yield of oats that when they
are In conversation among themselves
and one reports yield Of from seventy
to ninety bushels an acre the other will
reply: You have raised 1t on sugar
beet land. That accounts for it.
"This year there will be taken from
Ohio cities to the country to work in
the beet fields over 5000 people, and
yet this industry Is only beginning in
the state. Ohio ought to have twenty
five beet sugar factories, and Indiana.
equally favorably located and with land
peculiarly fitted to this crop. should
have an equal number"

PLANT THAT IMPROVES SOIL.
Tho Sugar Beet Increases Yield Of
Other Crops.

Tho Sugar Beet Increases Yield of
Other Crops.
How sugar beets improve the fertil-
ity Of the soil and increase the yield of
all crops grown in rotation with them
Is explained in the National Magazine
by Truman g. Palmer, who has spent
the past ten years In studying agricul-
tural methods In Europe and America.
1.-THE sugar beet being deep rooter,"
says Mr.. Palmer, "a prerequisite to Its
culture Is that the soil be stirred to a
depth Of ten to fourteen inches. The
tender heetlet having to undergo the
shock of thinning soon after 1t comes
up In order to leave but one beet to a
place, it demands well prepared, mel
low seed bed. Gathering the sugar In
its leaves from the atmosphere by the
aid Of the light and storing It up In the
roots, 1t will not thrive If the light Is
cut off through being shaded by weeds,
and their eradication means not only a
further stirring of the soil by cultiva-
ton and hoeing, but they are removed
before going to seed, thus leaving
NEEDLESS fields for succeeding crops.
Being plowed out In autumn gives an
extra fall blowing, which leaves the
land in condition to absorb instead of
shed the fall and winter rains and store
up the moisture for the following sea-
sons crop. with the removal of the
main root myriads of flbrous roots are
broken Off and left In the soil to an
average Of ton to the acre, and in
rotting they not only deposit humus In
the lower strata Of soil, but leave mi
mute channels through which 1t be-
comes aerated and hence fertile. The
roots of subsequent crops follow these
interstices and draw nutriment from
two and three times the depth Of soil
formerly reached, and hence the farm
ers double and treble their soil output
without increasing their acreage"
