SUGAR BEETS. THE 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,
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 100000
600 each year for these things. This
amount slips away from us for our an
nual imp0rtatiOns 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 single state TO
supply the needs of the entire nation.
l 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 Ia
Dor under Il foreign flag.
When l first entered the cabinet as

dent Mckinley in 1897 had been con-

beet not only for its sugar, but as an

products as a 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

bages because OF n 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
the ground The cultivation required
by such crop improves the yield or
all succeeding crops.
Europe had learned the value OF the
beet, and the northern continental ma
tons were making their own sugar
from it and by using it in rotation
with other crops had been obtaining
surprisingly big yields per acre. But

ing its Importance. The year l came

sons to contribute beet seed to begin

would then have TO pass through the

Carefully poised judgment will be re-

merely conservative or whether il is
acting so cautiously and selfshly as to
be detrimental TO the public interest.
1t might be concluded, for instance. that
bank whose report showed a 40 per
cent reserve was boarding, when, as a
matter OF fact, such reserve might be
a demonstration of nothing but far
sightedness.
The interest rate asked might be equ-

of its own business affairs and local
