Movement Can Be Aided by Modern
Ideals and Methods.
The effort to better rural conditions
Is touching fundamental problem OF
American life. The "back to the soil''
agitation can have little permanent
effect until we go back to the tiller OF
the soil with the inspiration and en-.
lightenment of modern ideals and
methods. We must carry the message
into every fertile valley and TO every
mountain side; we must get back from
the Travelled roads and the steam and
electric lines; we must reach the little
isolated schoolhouses, the country
churches and every other agency that
can be a source Of help. We can give
the schoolteacher and the itinerant
preacher a broader viewpoint and
deeper interest In the welfare of theil
charges-an interest deeper because
more practical and more hopeful.
Nor must we rest with this. A strik
ing feature of the new movement is
the determined effort TO show the bust
ness man in the city that he has q
point of intimate contact with the
farmer-that in mutual help is to b.
found advantage for both.

EIGHTEENTH ARTICLE.
|, RAISING SUGAR BETS.
By HARVEY W. WILEY, Former Chief Of
the Bureau Of Chemistry and Former
Director Department Sugar
- Beet Experiment Sta
ton, Nebraska.
T\HB successful growing of sugar

beets is an art that one ac-
quires by practice. The farm
err who has made a success of
raising other crops will quite often fail
at first in this one, as the methods of
cultivating ordinary crops do not APP
ply in the case of sugar beets.
In the manufacture Of sugar from
the beet the farmer plays an impor-
tant part by supplying beets In an ade-
quate quantity and of high quality,
but beyond that he can hardly hope to
enter the field. The manufacture of
beet sugar is an industry entirely dis
tinct from agriculture. From the ma
ture Of the process 1t is quite i'm
probable that any simple method OF
home manufacture of beet sugar will
ever prove commercially successful
The Juice Of the beet is extracted with
difficulty.
Experience has shown that the sug
ar beet reaches its highest develop
ment in north temperate ATTITUDES.
This isothermal line for the United
States begins near the city of New
York and passes up the Hudson river
to Albany; thence turning westward
it runs near Syracuse and passes in 4
southwesterly direction, touching the
shore of Lake Erie near Sandusky, o.
turning thence in northwesterly di
rection, 1t enters Michigan and reach
es its highest point in that state neal

Michigan City, then In a northwestern
ly course continues through the cities
of Chicago and Madison, reaching its
highest point near St Paul; thence 1t
extends In n southwesterly direction
until 1t enters the state Of South Da-
kOta, where 1t turns again northwest
and reaches its highest point In Dako-
Ia Just above the forty-fifth parallel Of
latitude, where 1t crosses the Missouri
river The isothermal line then turns
almost due south, following very close
ly the one hundred and first degree of
longitude until 1t leaves the state of
Nebraska near the northeast corner OF
Colorado. Passing in a southwesterly
direction through Colorado, 1t reaches,
at Pueblo, almost to the one hundred
and fifth degree Of west longitude,
whence 1t passes in slightly south
easterly direction into New Mexico,
turns to the west and crosses the one
hundred and fifth degree of longitude
at about the thirty-second degree Of
latitude. Then turning westward, 1t
passes In n very irregular line through
the states of California, Oregon and
Washington.
Extending n distance Of 100 miles on
each side of this isothermal line Is a
belt which may be regarded as the
theoretical beet sugar area of the Unit
ed States. There are doubtless many
localities lying outside of this belt
both north and south, In which the
sugar beet will be found to thrive, but
this will he due TO some exceptional
qualities of the climate or soil and moi
TO any favorable influence Of higher
or lower temperature. a study Of tho
location of the sugar factories operat
ing today will show that only five fac
tories are outside Of these lines.
Although conditions Of temperature
must he taken into consideration In
selecting sites for beet sugar factories
those of rainfall must also be studied,
The sugar beet requires certain
amount OF moisture in order to pro-
duce It's normal crop. This moisture
must be derived either from preciplta-
ton in the usual way or from irriga-
ton, or else the soil must be of that
particular quality which will allow sub
terranean moisture to reach the root
lets OF the plants,
The experience Of more than twenty
years In California and ten years In
Colorado has shown that the climatic
data, regarded us OF prime Importance
IN beet culture in Europe, cannot I've
regarded MS rlsdly applicable to this
country. The successful growth Of
sugar beets in the arid regions Of our
country, with irrigation, has introduced
a new factor into the science Of beet
meteorology. While the arid area on
which beets can be grown without ir.
Tlgation is probably confined almost ex.
cluslvely to the coast valleys of Cali.
fornia, the successful commercial pro
duction of sugar beets in Utah and Col
Orado has opened new and extensive
field What has taken place in these
states is being rapidly duplicated IL
Idaho, beginning has been made ii
Montana, and the time is undoubtedly
coming when beets Will be grown ii
Wyoming and probably throughout Tho
whole arid region. ..-- ... .-..-.
