BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY
Great Need for Increase by
Farmers in This Country.
Department of Agricultural Has Been
Trying for Years to Show Them
comparatively New Product
Of This Country.

The average American consumes 81
pounds of sugar each year-and only
ten pounds Of that ration is now pro-
uuced in this country. The farmers
Of the country should keep that money
at home, in other words, put it in
their own pockets, and the department
Of agriculture has been trying for
16 years to show them how and in:
duce them to do so.
Sugar is a product Of manufacture
mainly from the farmers sugar cane
and sugar beets. Incidentally some
sugar is produced from the sap of the
sugar maple-the entire value of that
product, both sugar and strip, and
the sorghum sirup, being only about
$15,OOOOOO annually, while the total
value of the sugar beet and sugar cane
industries of this country tOtaled
SLIT 100000.
Beet sugar is comparatively recent
product Of this country, and can
scarcely be said to have existed 90
years ago. The production during the

HENS MUST BE COMFORTABLE
Ample Shade Must Be Provided fol
Fowls During Hot Weather az
Well as Proper Food.

Those who neglect to provide shade
for their hens during the trying sum-
mer months are likely to regret It,
The fowls must have comfort as well
as food.
If the yard has no shade 1t Will
pay to provide it even though it takes
some time and labor.
Shade is regarded as one Of the I'M
portant items in the care Of the flock
for the summer. When the hot days
come on many poultry breeders trans
fer the hens and young chickens to
the orchard or to a woodlot. Where
shade is not available temporary
structure six by ten feet square and
four feet high is erected; this is cov'
cred with burlap or canvas. An ideal
place for young fowls is near the
edge Of cornfeld where they can
have shade. scratching places and can
find many insects.

would need the production Of 100000
acres under beets to equal the entire
home demand.
In the 10 states adapted to growing
oeets there are about 100000 farms
and 27S719,622 acres of improved
land. Therefore, if every farmer in
four of these states would plant a
three-acre patch and give it the care
that could readily be bestowed upon
so small a plot, it would be unneces-
sary for us to buy foreign sugar.
Two-thirds of 1 per cent Of the i'm
proved land in the states adapted to
sugar beet would accomplish this re-
suit, and more than that acreage lies
idle, absolutely unused, every year.
Any one of the states of Illinois, Iowa,
Kansas, Missouri Minnesota Nebras-
ka or Ohio could produce all this
sugar and then have the beets come
only once in q ten-year rotation.
