Study of Beet Roots.

Ten years patient watching and
study indicate that difference in size,
total sugar content and percentage Of
sugar of beet roots furnish no evidence

and their yield Of seed. nor between
their yield of seed and percentage Of
sugar in progeny. The conclusion
reached is that the fluctuation in the
percentage and yield Of sugar may be
now regarded as due to soil conditions.

Saved Will be Widely
Shown.

WASHINGTON-Official motion pic
lures bringing home the vital import
ance of increased food production will
be shown by the United States depart
ment of agriculture in hundreds OF
regular motion picture theaters
throughout the United States. The
first releases, which are to be han
died under an agreement with the
Universal Film Manufacturing COM
pany through its exchanges, will be
made early in December. The first
film will show activities in the ma
tional forests, which are important
sources of timber and water supply
and also afford grazing for a large
number of cattle and sheep.
The second release, which will fol-
low in about two weeks, will show
what children through the pig clubs
are doing to increase the supply of
pork. Other selections from the de-
partment's 40, 1000 feet of official sub
jects will make clear various features
of food production, the raising of meat
animals and horses, and will deal with
home activities such as poultry rails
ing and the canning and drying of
perishable products.
The departmental laboratories are
at work on a number of other popu-
lar films specially designed to make
to city as well as rural popu-
problems of food production
and to show them ways in which they
cooperate effectively to feed the
