that by this time our farmers would

SUGAR BEETS TIE REMEDY.
We Could Raise Enough of Them In
One State, Declares the Secretary of
Agriculture, to Supply the Needs Of
the Whole Nation.
BY JAMES WILSON,
Ex-Secretary of Agriculture.

One would think that we had enough
Anshine and wind and rain in this
country for all our needs. but at pres
pnt we are paying out to foreign ma,
tions the good round sum of 100000
OoO each year for these things. This
amount slips away from us for our an
nual importations of sugar. which
comes simply from the carbon dioxide
of the atmosphere. There Is no reason
why we should not save this amount
fur our own people, our farmers and
laborers. and 50 on. We could grow
enough sugar beets in single state to
supply the needs of the entire nation.
| hope some day we shall grow all the
sugar We need right here at home. But
at resent we are paying this enormous
sum each year to the cane producer In
the tropics. employing the cheapest la
Dor under foreign flag.
When | first entered the cabinet as
Secretary of Agriculture under Presi-
dent Mckinley In 1897 had been con
nected with the Iowa State Agricul-
tural college for six years. and out
there we had made experiments which
taught us the great value of the sugar
beet not only for its sugar, but as an
aid to the other crops and in its by
products as a food for the stock.
We made experiments with all sorts

tested these different vegetables on
the cows to learn their effect In the
production OF milk aud 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 a fine quality OF

BL0TCHES COVERED LIMBS

19 Roach St., Atlanta, Ga.-"A few months ago I had some kind of skin eruption that spread until my limbs and feet were covered with blotches and watery bGsters. It looked like eczema. When the trouble reached my neck and face I was almost driven frantic. It itched and stung so in- tensely that l could not sleep or wear any clothing on the affected parts Aft CT two months I commenced to use Cuticur Soap and Ointment and after two days I noticed improvement and in six days the trouble left. My skin was fair and smooth again and the eruption never returned.
 My cousin was a sufferer from pim- pies, known as acne, on his face and seemed to grow worse all the time. I recommended Cuticura Soap and Ointment to him and now his face is smooth for the first time in three years and he owes it all to Cuticura Soap and Ointment" (Signed) Wal ter Battle, Oct. ', 1912
