History comedies that Clovis I. was
the real founder Of the French mon
prchy. although his father, Childertc,
held some sort OF tribal rule over part
Of the country which was destined to
become France. Clovis was a progress

from 4S1 to 511. He made endless
war on surrounding tribes and took
territory right and left by conquest.
In 49S Clovis took Paris by storm,

In this conclusion he is supported
by DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, Henry A.
Wallace of Iowa, Secretary Wilson
of the Department of Agriculture,
and other experts who have followed
his work or have conducted investi-
cations on this subject.
For years past practically all
the countries of continental Europe
that are able to grow sugar beets
have been encouraging the extension
of this industry in all possible ways,
by the imposition of heavy tariffs
on imported sugar, by direct boun-
ties, by experiments to improve the
quality of the beets and the seed.
This is done partly bacause sugar
is a valuable crop for it's direct re-
turns, but chiefly because of its in
direct benefits in increasing the
yield of all other crops grown in ro-
tation with it. AS a result of this
policy the worn-out soils of Europe
are today producing twice as much
per acre as are the paratively
virgin lands of our own Western
states.
