Live Stock
and Beets.

growers profits, but there is another
reason-the nation needs more meat
as we'll as sugar. The combination
of stock raising and sugar beet grow
ing, while beneficial to the farmers,
will also benefit the nation.
Live stock on the sugar beet farm
constitutes an important factor In
success of beet growing FROM two
standpoints, the utilization OF beet
tops and pulp to the best advantage
and the production of stable or barn
yard manure which can be used TO
enrich the soil.
sugar beet tops, the experts say,
are good feed for many kinds of live
stock. including chickens hogs, sheep,
cattle, and. to some extent, horses:
Generally the tops and pulp are fed
to sheep and cattle. They may ne
pastured off, a process which consists
in turning the live stock into the
beet field after the beets have been
harvested and the roots removed. Ine
tops are left scattered over the
ground and this method or 1eed1ns
less trampled. Sheep especially are
inclined to travel more generally IN
paths. thereby trampling the ground
uneyenly. Animals cannot be finlshed
for the market on the beet oy-
products alone, and unless otner 1seo

In order that this policy may be
still more closely followed a read
iustment has been authorized by Off
cials including several changes in the
organization of the service. In sub
stance, these changes consist of the
abolition of the system Of thirteen
employment districts and the gradual
elimination of the district superin-
tendencies; the centering of RESPONSE
biIity for the field organization on the
federal directors of employment for
| the states; the institution of uniform
methods of office operation, and the
realignment of the administrative
work in Washington into five divi-
sions, each in charge of a director.
officials say that the reajustment
was made necessary by the tremen-
dous growth of the employment serv-

greater efficiency in the local offices
! and in clearances as well as in time
saving. The changes were ordered
| only after weeks of study of the in
ternal organization of the employment
service by experts in public employ
ment and employment management
called in from all parts of the country.
Uniformity of office operation is a
prominent feature of the readjustment
! and will be of advantage not only to

service but to the war employer in
need of labor, since the procedure to

the service is standardized.
