Times comments upon this subject. saying:
 Americans have dealt with their resources, and deal with them today in "a pioneer spirit of sheer wanton pill Iage. The soil especially has been SD shamefully mishandled that its crop producing power is both actually and relatively on the decline.
 Tn spite of the lavish expenditure by the states in agricultural colleges of exceptional advantages in the way of soil climate and market facilities, and of the steady thrush of the best European peasants, the American farmer remains all but the worst in the world. He has settled on the land like Iocusts, exhausted it and moved on.
 Although products of his farm supply not far short of half the materials used by American manu facturers and account for some 70 per cent of the countrTs exports. the time is not far distant when the United States will be hard pressed to feed it's own people,
 Every French and German econo- mist who visits the United States is similarly impressed by the disregard
 
 an improvement If the nations agri- cultural output if properly utilized. Particularly has surprise been ex- pressed in recent months by these l foreign observers, unbiased by poH- i tics, that the dominant political party in the United States should be will | ing to sacrifice the one farm in dusry-sugar beet culture-that is most effective in improving the con dition of the soil and increasing the yield of every other staple grown in rotation with sugar beets. The systematic encouragement of sugar beet growing is the very foun- dation stone of the tremendous prog ress that has been made in the past quarter century in the acreage yield of all farm crops in Germany. France, Austria Hungary and other European | countries. The men who are familiar l with the far-reaching agricultural benefits bestowed by the sugar beet industry in Europe realize. if the pre- | sident and the leaders of congress dc i rot, that in destroying the beet sugar | industry one of the most important | agencies for the Improvement of the crop yields of the Unitcl States will 1 be lost. This is abundanuy proved by the experience of hundreds oi American farmers who have found through carefully kept records that
 their acreage yields of wheat, corn
 oats and other crops have been in
 creased from 20 to 70 per cent by
 growing them in rotation with sugar beets
 The question of the tariff treat
 ment of sugar is not merely a tariff
 question. It has a vital bearing upor
 the most important economic prob | lem before the nation tOday-tht problem of increasing the country's
 food supply by higher acreage yields
 from our cultivated areas.

EXPERIMENTS SHOW HOW TO
INCREASE THE ALFALFA CROP.

Philo X. Blinn OF the state Agricul-
tural college writes regarding ways TO
increase the production of alfalfa;
The results of experiments with
alfalfa have clearly shown the posi-
bility OF improving this valuable crop.
Comparative tests and systematic
methods OF seed selection have been
carried on to fix. combine, and develop
the superior traits that have been
found in some OF the best strains of
alfalfa from different sections of the
world But to do this and Increase the
progenies OF these types for CONNER
cial use, will require several years
to accomplish In the meantime pres
ent results seem to fully Justify the
advice OF farmers to SOW the Baltic
or Grimm's alfalfa seed. especially
when the seeding is made with a
view to seed production as these two
strains have proved to be among The
best. There are points OF decided
merit In these over most of the i'm
portant and ordinary strains of alfal-
IA"
Some OF the points OF superiority
found in these hardly northern strains
can be enumerated as follows:
"First-Hardness and frost resis-
tance: They have the ability to sur
vive winter conditions where ordinary
alfalfa has failed or has been serious
ly injured This is due to the differ
ence In the stooling habits. the hardy
strains have protected underground
buds and shoots spreading beneath
the surface OF the soil. while the non
hardy types grow more upright with
their buds more exopsed to frost.
"Second-Better quality of hay:
These strains having heavier stooling
habits form larger crowns. which send
up a greater number of stems that
tend to produce finer and more leafy
hay.
''Third-More adapted to different
soil conditions: These heavy stooling
types have more branched roots near
the surface OF the ground. They also
