Ambassador Gerard's Diary
Made His Book Possible

TO be indefinite is to be misiudged.
If you cannot be certain of date,
place or persons present at an event
YOUR account thereof is not accepted
as authoritative. A diary in which
occurrences are recorded establishes
with specific evidence the circum-
stances under which agreements
were made or important events
transpired.
These statements were never more
cmphatically upheld than in the ex-
perience of Ambassador Gerard re-
lated in his book, My Four Years in
Germany" He could not have writ
ten his book except for his carefully
kept diary. AS it was the ambas-
Sador was able to write accurately
the conversations held with the
Kaiser and his ministers through a
most intensely dramatic and his
torical period. Not every person con-
nected with this war can keep a
diary as nationally important as Mr..
Gerard's; but everybody can keen
one as personally important.
The two most necessary books in
this interesting period are a diary
and an English French dictionary.
The newspapers of Canada and the
United States are supplying to read
'ers a combination of the two; The
SoldierS-Sailors Diary and English
French Dictionary. In this city it is
being distributed exclusively on a
simple coupon plan explained in this
paper elsewhere.

The illustration shows one of the
many widely varying types of sugar
beets found In commercial fields of
this country.

seed. there are no distinct types Of
sugar beets In the country. In many
fields, whatever the name of the so
called variety grown may be. from six
to twenty distinct types Of beets can be
found. In fact. 1t Is said scarcely two
beets growing side by side in the same
field have closely related external char
acters of leaf or root. and the quality
Of roots varies In both sugar and
purity.
The first step In the development of
permanent beet seed industry In this
country, therefore, is the development
OF true types with reference to both
sugar beets and seed stalk production
AS the domestic beet sugar industry
now represents an investment of more
than S1O0,0OO,0O0. it is obvious that the
proper development Of such an impor-
tant element In IL as the seed supply
should receive the greatest attention.

AMERICAN SEED FOR
SUGAR BEET INDUSTRY
Prepared by United States department of
agricultural

Prepared by United States department of
Agricultural
No grave difficulties, 1t is believed,
stand In the way Of the domestic pro-
duction Of high quality sugar beet seed
sufficient In quantity to meet the needs
Of this country. Until the outbreak of
the European war, however, the Amer
lean beet sugar industry was almost
entirely dependent for its seed supply
upon Europe. Since that time efforts
have been made to increase the produc-
ton of sugar beet seed in the United
States, but the supply is still so limited
that several American beet sugar fac
tories were idle last year for this rea-
son.
For this condition of affairs there
seems to be no good reason. In practi-
cally all instances American grown seed
has been found to be superior to the
imported. From an agricultural point
Of view, the whole problem appears to
be largely a matter of planting greater
acreages In this country. That this has
not been done before is due almost en-

could be obtained from abroad.
The production Of beet seed requires
two seasons of growth. The mature
beets resulting after one season from
the seed must be harvested, the leaves
removed and the roots carefully sliced
with a dirt covering to preserve them
in a dormant condition through the
winter. These roots are planted at the
earliest possible time the following
spring and rapidly produce seed stalks
from three to six feet In height. These
are harvested with sickle at the
proper time and the seed carefully
| threshed, cleaned and cured.
Because of the fact that little atten-
ton has hitherto been given in this
country to the production of sugar beet

About Infertile Eggs.

1t is mistake to assume that In
fertile eggs cannot spoil. They win not
spoil in the sense that fertile eggs be-
come heated or partly incubated, but
their contents will evaporate and be-
come watery. and IL they are allowed
TO remain in damp, musty cellar or
adjacent to vegetables or overripe fruit
they will absorb these Objectionable
odors and thus contract very bad
flavor, and they are subject to mold
and bacterial contamination the same
as other eggs.
