BY JAMES WILSON,
Ex-Secretary of Agriculture.

ES-Secretary of Agriculture.
One would think that we had enough
sunshine and wind and rain in this
country for all our needs, but at pres
ent we are paying out to foreign ma
tons the good round sum of S1OO.OOO,-
600 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
for our own people. our farmers and
laborers. and so on. We could grow
enough sugar beets in Il 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 present 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

beet not only for its sugar. but as an
mid to the other crops and in its by
products as food for the stock.
We made experiments with all sorts
Of root crops-potatoes, sugar beets.
turnips, and so onto ascertain which
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 q deleterious acid
that affected the butter, but from
sugar beets we got a fine quality of
butter. The Importance of this is in
the fact that the farmer needs to use
a root crop in his rotation to clear

Rapid Progress on Bill After Re-
serve Plan Settled = Senator
Owen Makes Vigorous Reply
to Hitchcock
Telegram Dy united Press.

Washington. Dec l2.-There is a
crisis in currency legislation today.
The senate began consideration Of the
most important Hitchcock amend
ment. providing for four region banks
under government control, their stock
to be offered to the public first.
The Gwen bill plans control Of from
eight TO twelve regional banks By
members Of banks. and the sale Of
stock to the public if the regional
banks are not large enough after the
members of the banks have purchased
stock.
The Hitchcock amendment is expect
ed to 20 to a vote tonight or early to-
morrow, With the regional bank plan
settled, the leaders believe the bill will
60 through with little discussion and
few roll calls.
AT Thursday nights session Sena-
tor Owen made a vigorous repy to
Senator Hitchcocks endeavor in vain
to force a vote on the first Hitchcock
amendment He declared that the ''ob-
vsous intention of the senator from
Nebraska is to show that the president
Of the United States has exercised
tyrannicai power over the senate.
Il regard it as poor party loyalty, F."
he continued for the senator from
Nebraska to represent the president OF
the United States. II is strange that
the senator from Nebraska is the only
Democrat who knows what the require
ments Of the senate and the house
members want, not only reproaches
the president for fault he has never
committed but he criticises his Demo
cratic colleagues for having perfected
this bill in what he calls a secret eau
Gus. There was nothing secret about
the caucus"
Senator owen declared that the
Democrats iu taking the bill into eau.
Gus were. accepting the responsible
ity for legislation"
When Senator Owen endeavored 10
force vote on motion to table the
first Hitchcock amendment Senator
Weeks asserted that several Republi-
cans desired to discuss the amend
ment and by point of no quorum pre-
vented action.

would be to double track east Of the
Missouri river Then he planned a
double track between Topeka and Me-
Farland, distance Of about thirty
miles, and one Of the busiest pieces
of track on the system. Along with
these Improvements he considered the
regular betterment of terminals and
railway property
