KEEP Up THE SUGAR CROP

shall be grown as efficiently and eco
nomically as possible. 1t is believed
that this can best be accomplished by
adhering somewhat closely to the
methods of crop rotation that have
been worked out and tested in most
of these producing districts, and by
avoiding the planting of an abnor-
maly large acreage OF competing
crops at the expense of a reduction of
the area of beets. The determination
of the acreage to be planted needs to
be made early so that the farmers
can plan their work to the best adj
vantage and the sugar companies ar

In its consideration of the problems
of crop production that are OF spec
ial Importance during the war cmer-
uencv, the United States Department
of Agriculture calls the attention
of farmers in the sugar beet produce
ing districts to the Importance OF
maintaining the acreage of that crop
next year. While the soil and eli
matte conditions of the country are
suitable for much greater produc-
tion of beet sugar than is now made,
the production for next year is nee
essarily limited by the available seed
supply and to the relatively small
areas where beet sugar mills now
exist.
Because of the impractibillty oil
shipping beets very far, the effective
sugar beet production is limited tC
the areas in the vicinity of the sugar
mills, and it is in these areas thai
most of next years crop must be
grown. Both from the point of view
of the welfare of the farmers o
those districts and Of the national in

supply, it is important that the crol

which contains a great amount OF

to see that the cattle were free from
any disease and that the small herd
of buffalo on the reserve would not
be molested or harmed in any way.
