BEET SUGAR CROP
OF U. S. A RECORD
production Of 1000, 900 900 Pounds,
Worth 500, 100000, Expected
This Year.

NEW YORK. July 13.-lf the present
area planted 10 sugar beets in this coun-
try supplies the usual output of sugar 10
the acre, more than 1000. 200, 900 pounds
Of bet sugar will be produced by the
United States during the 1916 season.
and this country will be the fourth
the world. according To- computation
made by the foreign trade department
Of the National City Bank. IN 1920 the
total produced in the United States was
only 5000. nn0 pounds, in 1900 lS5.u0o.O00
pounds. and in 1910 l.v25.00o.O0o
pounds. .
The worlds normal yearly output Of
beet sugar by countries is Germany,
5000 900 300 pounds: Russia. 5000, u0v.-
Franco. 1890. GOO. coo: Italy. 5000. Doe;
and Belgium and the Netherlands. 5oo.-
Qno npQ. 900 pounds each.
The value Of the beet sugar produced
BY the United States this year will
amount TO about sl0Q.0o000o.
Although the production OF sugar un.
der the American flag has Quadrupled
since 1900. domestic consumption has
only doubled during that period. II the
same rate rf growth in production and
consumption continues during the next
fifteen years. tho entire requirements or
the country will be supplied from It's
own territory. Our island possessions
would produce about one-thtrd or the
necessary amount and the beet sugar
fields Of the country the balance.
In 1850 was 2.0Go. o06. 900 pounds. while
in 1915 1t was $500, 900 900 pounds. In
$50, 5000. 100000 pounds were used IN
1900 more. than $500. 1000. 900 pounds. and
in 1910 more than 1000. 100000 pounds.

TO BE HOME SOON?
Adjutant General HoIway So Con.
strues New Order From
Washington.

MISUNDERSTANDING from the latest
orders received at the adjutant gen
erals Office from the federal war de-
partment, rehabilitation of the state
troops now on the border will start
shortly after the return of the Wiscon-
sin and Illinois regiments from the 10
mile hike from San Antonio to Austin
and return on October ). Orders have
been received calling for change from
the individual discharge method used
in the National Guard to muster-out
by company. This is taken as an indi-
cation that the troops will shortly be
recalled.
Il think that the Wisconsin regi-
ments will return to the state within
ten days after the return from the Aus
tin hike said Gen. Orlando Holway.
EITHER this, or they will stay in the
South all winter. Most of the troops
are from the northern states and de-
mobilization in the winter months
would require at least ten days at the
state camps. Few of the states have
facilities TO care for the men at the
camps during cold weather"

WHEN FOES MEET IN AIR
German Lieutenant Tells of Engage
ment in Which French Ayiators
Lost Their Lives.

Zone afternoon a French flyer ap-
peared," says a German lieutenant.
ut circled over Douaumont and then
rose high above the clouds. For long
time 1t seemed to be just hanging in
the air. And then-from our side there
arose buzzing, a fierce sharp buzz
zing, and It made straight like bee
line for the little French flyer. II
went through the clouds and disap-
peared. Nothing could be seen. The
clouds covered all. Five minutes of
suspense passed, and then a shot, and
after that a roaring. We waited
breathlessly, and then two little black
spots were seen breaking through the
clouds. Tiny little spots, and these
spots were the two French ayiators.
They grew bigger as they fell. A mo-
ment after the men came the flaming
machine. 1t came down roaring and
crashing. Its wings were yet on fire.
and the red, white and blue of the
tri-colors looked like a revolving
American barber pole. Everything
crushed to the earth, hopeless man
gled mass. Again q spot broke through
the clouds. 1t came swift and straight,
without any spectacular showing. 1t

Try This Method That Is Recommend
ed by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.

Cut corn from cob when It is at the
proper stage and In filing the cans or
glass jars In which 1t Is to be pre-
served put asome corn In the bottom,
MASKING this down with a cob from
which the corn has been cut, until the
milk comes out well. Put in another
layer and mash again, and so on until
the Jar is full. The cans should be
slightly heaping and the covers then
screwed on tight. When the cans are
filled and covers on they should be
put In the boiler and set on cart or
frame so that they will not touch the
bottom. And they should be so ar
ranged that they win not touch each
other. The boiler should then be filed
with cold water. brought to a boil and
allowed TO boil for four hours. Let

may be done by keeping n kettle of
boiling water handy. This method Of
canning is recommended by the de-
partment of agriculture as the most
satisfactory for preserving corn, beans,
peas and other vegetables.
