GROWING sUGAR-BEET SEED
Outbreak Of European War Has Cut
or supply From Germany-Farm-
or Must Find New Source.

The greater part of the sugar-beet
seed sown each year in the United
States has formerly been imported
from Europe. principally from Ger
many and Russia. The outbreak Of
the present war has cut on this sup
ply and now the problem rs to find
new sources for obtaining seed. The
growing Of beet seed has been neg
lected In this country due to q de-
creasing sugar content In beets from
native grown seed and also to the
scarcity of the hand labor necessary
In harvesting the crop. But now It Is
up to the American farmer to grow
his own seed.
Although most of the factories have
sufficient seed on hand for the
1916 sowing, yet considerable acre
age has been set to seed beets. The
beets are set out early in spring in
rows four feet apart, the crown Of
the beet being just level with the sur
face of the ground.
First large thick cluster of leaves
grows up to about Is inches in height
and then the seed stalks appear.
Some beets send up but one large
branching seed stalk but the major
ity have several. four to ten, Of the
tall branching stalks.
The beets are cultivated both ways
similar to corn until about the first
Of July when the seed stalks get so
tall. in some cases reaching up five
and six feet, and bending over pre-
vent cultivation. When viewed near
by field Of these plants does not
present very prepossessing appear
ance, the tall, struggling seed stalks
greatly resembling large plants Of

GREEK WOMEN STILL DRUDGE
Modern Emancipation Of the Sex Has
Not Yet Arrived In That
Country.

The position of women In modern
Greek life is semioriental, to say the
least. While the great ladies of Ath-
ems have an active social career.
}reek women, generally speaking, have
no individuality.
At parties the women generally sit
apart, while In the country they are
almost never to be found at table II
guests are present. and upon them
falls the greater portion of the labor of
the household.
Following the plow, harvesting and
work upon the roads are common en-
pigments for the Greek peasant
woman. Unmarried, her parents and
her brothers control her conduct, and
husband means merely a change Of
masters for whom she tolls while he
sits at ease.
An improvement, however, is gradu-
ally developing. The Greek, much
more than some of his Balkan neigh
bors, has outgrovn the notion that
the sole occupation fit for a man is
warfare. Through schools, endowed
and under royal patronage; through
other enterprises, and especially
through the demands of modern bust
ness life, new avenues for employ
ment and advancement are opening
for women, and in another generation
1t is altogether likely that the wom-
en- of Greece will be found with their
sisters of the West, demanding as
rights what they now regard as great
privileges.-G. H. Moses in the Ma
tional Geographic Magazine.

TRADE WAR CERTAIN
United States Should Begin Prep
arations for II.
Tendency In Europe Has Long Been
Toward Greater Protection for Ma
tional Industries Commercial
Treaties Hamper America

Tariff revision will be worldwide
following tho close Of the European
war. II II had not been for the great
European clash. Germany today would
be revising her tariffs
Il would be far better for the United
States were the commercial treaties Of
this country limited by q term OF
years. The present commercial treaties
Of the United States are not merely
useless commercially. but are an &C
tual hindrance to the development OF
American trade. It was because OF
these treaties that the di1erential
tariff rate designed to build up an
American merchant marine had to re-
main imperative in the present tarin
law.
Other governments will be able to
mobilize their resources and put into
effect the kind of tariff most certain
ly designed to build up their indus
tries. In Europe the commercial pre-
paredness of the nations now at war
must be undertaken after the armies
have returned from the field. But In
Europe the nations have forms OF gov
eminent that lend themselves to de-
cisive and radical development plans.
1t has been noticeable that the tend
ency in tariff revision In both France
and Germany was toward greater pro-
lection for national industries.
Neither of these countries has ever
had any temporary reversion to free
trade or so-called tariffs for revenue
only. After the war the tendency to-
ward greater protection will be strong
er than ever. Even Great Britain. with
her need for foodstuffs, Is swinging
strongly toward protection. and econ
omists predict that the outcome of the
present European struggle will be the
conversion of England to protection.
Americas opportunity for preparing
for the trade war is at hand. Delay
will not increase the advantages Of
the United States. It is conceivable
that this nation by waiting until Eu-
rope launches her tariff preparedness
program will lose the golden oppor-
tunity Of making permanent the pres
emit national prosperity.
