The amount of raw sugar extracted

During the past few years there
has been q remarkable advance in the
price Of farm lands, especially In
those localities where beet-sugar fac
tories are in successful operation.
The production of single-germ beet
seed is a method of thinning beets be-
fore the seed is planted. Commercial
beet-seed consists for the most part of
from two to seven individual seeds
welded by nature into one mass.
1t is evident that plants produced
from such a mass of seeds must Of

Repeated efforts have been made to
break up the seed balls by passing
them through various forms of rollers.
but the seed coats are so hard that
any device that has been tried not
only breaks the coats but likewise the
seed balls, thus destroying the germ.
The department Of agriculture has
been more successful in this line by
its effort to produce a single germ
seed, and its scientists have within
the past year increased the produc-
ton Of single-germ seed from 9 to rs
per cent.

645,000,000 pounds, or $4,000 tons,
more sugar was consumed last year
than would have been consumed ten
years ago had the population at that
time been the same as it is today.
This goes to show that the manu-
facture of beet sugar in the United
States, in spite of its wonderful prog
ress during the past few years. has
not even kept pace with the increased

II is announced that the apportion-
ment of delegates to the coming state
convention will be on the basis of the
last gubernatorial vote, instead OF
that of the last presidential year. ac-
cording to custom. 1t will result in a
state convention of about a hundred
less delegates than the usual one,
due to the small vote cast in many
towns for Mead in 19l0.-Randolph
Herald and News.
II is a great victory for the Barton
Monitor. Barton was about the only
town in the state that cast larger
Republican vote in 1910 than in 1908
and the Monitor has valiantly held
the state committee 10 its promise 90
apportion the delegates according to
the 1910 vote. The state committee,
which had advertised to do this in
order to get out the Republican vote,
could not well go back on its promise
and has done wisely in standing by
its promise even though it cuts down
the representation of many towns
For instance St Adams will have
only four delegates in the state con
vention as penalty for voting SO
strongly for Charles d. Watson two
years ago. Bennington will have
nine delegates instead of eleven un
der the 1908 vote.
