PauIdins Banker Shows How Sugar
Beet Culture increased Property.


That the establishment of the sugar
beet industry in Ohio will result in an
increase Of S2O.OO0.OOO in the value
Of farm lands in the state by the END
of the present year is the statement Of
c. H. Allen. banker of Paulding. o.

alone, although the beet sugar factory
here has been in operation only two
years. the value of farm property has
increased $1.0OG00O as Il result of the
introduction Of sugar beet culture. An
other result has been the investment Of
$5,000,OO0 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.0OOOC0 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

less important 70 obtain good results

have found that every other crop rails

"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,

The Rieker-Ludy Re-
union.

The Kicker and Ludy reunions
were held together for the first
time Sunday, September 8, 1912.
It is very fitting to hold the two
reunions together, as the older
folks were brought up close to-
gether in Butler township. this
county. Samuel and Elizabeth

were early pioneers to this coun-
ty, and lived here at a time when

quently seen. In these surround
ings they reared a large family
of sturdy boys and girls. There
are still eleven of these children
living and there has not been a
death among them for over 46
years. What a record that is,
and their parents lived to be up
wards of 80 when they died. On
account of sickness and the dis
tance, the brothers and sisters
were not all present; one sister
lives at Britton, Okla, and one
brother at Bentonville, Ark. They
all expressed a wish to continue
the reunions and the Kicker and
Ludy reunions were consolidated,
with Fred Kicker of Arcanum as
president and VIM. Kicker of
New Madison as secretary of the
Riekers and VIM. G. Ludy as Sec
retary of the Ludys. Besides
the eleven children. there are 3S
grandchildren and 80 great-grand
children living. But strange to
relate, among the 80 great-grand-
children there is not a male child
that bears the name of Ludy.
We had plenty of dinner and
all seemed to enjoy it to their ut
most. The regular time. for the
reunions is the second Sunday in
September. There was one death
in the Kicker family the past
year, that of Michael Kicker of
Union City. A RELATIVE.

SUGAR BEET SEED.
Perfect Type Developed by Depart
ment of Agriculture.

Perfect Type Developed by Depart-5
nent of Agriculture.
The department of agriculture att
Washington is run on the principleS
that small perfeCtions mean large prof
its. This is eXempIifed by the fact
that the government scientists havea
tried for ten years to develop certainH
type Of sugar beet seed. The perfect
seed is now in sight Its establishment
will mean an annual gain Of from Sill =
100000 to $13.OOO,O0O to the sugar beeti
farmers. of the west.
The possibility of developing the per-
feet seed was called to Secretary Will 1
sons attention by Truman G. Palmer,
secretary Of the United States beet
sugar industry. in 1902. Secretary VIII
son was confined to his home with al
severe cold at the time, but he grew sol
excited about the matter that he for
got his cold and started his scientiticl
men Mt 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 single seed. 1t nor
| mally contains several beet germs
perhaps as many as SiX-so the little
beet clusters must be thinned. Lab0r-
ers go through the fields on hands and
knees, grasping one hardy beetlet be-
tween the thumb and forefnger of
the left hand, while with the right
they pull out the remaining beetlets.
If this operation is not performed at
certain period in the development Of
the beetlets those left to grow will die.
BY great labor the government sci
entists secured 1000 single germ beet
seeds. AS only / per cent of beet
seeds are normally single germ, over
100000 seeds had to be mlnutely ex-
amined for this selection. 1t took two
years to secure the first generation OF
the selected plants, for the beet is a
biennial The best plant yielded 20
per cent o. single germ seed. In the
second generation one plant yielded so
per cent single germ seed. The fifth
generation has just been reached and
shows one plant yielding over so per
cent OF single germ seed. Probably Ia
a/few more generations the constacS
single germ seed will he reality.
As result the beet farmer will save
from SIS to So an acre on hand labor,
and 1t Is estimated that his average
tonnage will be increased from one
third to one half. thus adding from
$23 to S20 to his profit per acre.

would be the most profitable for the
Iowa farmers and dairymen. We had
a large herd of dairy cows. and we
tested these different vegetables on
the, cows to learn their effect in the
production of milk and butter. We
found that we could not get good re-
suits from turnips, potatoes and cab
bages because of a deleterious acid
that affected the butter but from
sugar beetS we got fine quality of
butter. The importance Of this Is In
the fact that the farmer needs to use
the ground. The cultivation required
by such a crop improves the yield of
all succeeding crops.
Europe had learned the value of the
beet and the northern continental ma
tions were making their own sugar
from It and by using 1t in rotation with
other crops had been obtaining sur
prisingly big yields per acre But here
we had been backward in realizing its

beets sent back to us for testingS.
At the same time we started en-
