MAY NOT KNOW PAGo PAGo
Yet Town on island Of TutuiIa, In
American Samoa, is Worth Atten-
tion Of Tourists.

Pago Pago, on the island of Tutu-
la In American Samoa, would prob
ably be an easy winner In competition
Tor the least-known town of It's size
under the American flag.
Most Americans never heard of Pago
Pag0; yet 1t has an excellent harbor,
IL an important naval coaling station,
and Is governed by American naval
officers.
The island of Tituila is one of six
little tropical atols which constitute
American Samoa. They are all noun
famous and are picturesque with their
jungle-covered sleeps and their great
palm groves sheltering little white ma
tive towns.
These natives are peculiarly at
tractive people, as any American
Jackie who has spent a while at Pago
Pago will tell you. They are kindly,
hospitable. and full of fun, while some
OF the women. especially the half
castles. are really beautiful.
The favorite native diversion,
strangely enough, is cricket, which was
taught the Samoans by British mis-
sionaries long ago, and has well nigh
supplanted all the really indigenous
sports. But the Samoan has made of
cricket thing after his own barbaric
heart. He plays with 40 or so men
on side, so that grand scrimmage
~ inevitable; he roots with tomtom
and with intense excitement; and the
winners always perform "serpentine,"
which has all the characteristics of
savage war dance.

normal quantities of sugar-beet seed
will be produced In European coun-
tries. American growers therefore,
must depend to considerable extent
upon homegrown sugar-beet seed.
There seems to be no good reason why
this country should not produce its
full requirement of sugar-beet seed an
nually. The domestic production of
sugar-beet seed. now totaling millions
of pounds, has demonstrated that
sugar-beet seed Of the highest quality
may be produced in this country.
The present indications are that
there Is sufficient sugar-beet seed,
either imported or domestic, now in the
hands of nearly all of the beet sugar
companies in the United States to take
care Of the entire acreage to be plant
ed to sugar beets in 1920, but that
there is very little foreign sugar-beet
seed now available for importation.
and that the foreign production in the
immediate future will be limited. Since
sugar-beet seed stored under normal
conditions will retain its vitality for
several years, it would be advisable
for sugar companies to secure any
sugar-beet seed of good quality now
available and not more than two years
old.
The domestic beet-seed production
is increasing rapidly. In 1918 about
5000 acres of sugar-beet seed were
grown. while in 1919 upwards of 10000
acres were planted to beet roots for
seed in the United States. Unfortu.
nately, drought interfered with nor.
NAL production Of sugar-beet seed in
some localities this past season, but
the resulting reduction in yield was
local and temporary and should not
prevent or retard the efforts that are
being made to produce in this country
an adequate supply of sugar-beet seed
to meet the American requirement for
1921 and the years following.
In order to produce a crop Of seed

be necessary to select The beet roots

SHORTAGE OF SUGAR
BEET SEED IN 1921
Growers Urged to Provide for
Sufficient Supply.
Statement Based on Reliable Reports
From Representative Dealers
Americans Must Depend Upon
HOMEGROWN Supply.

prepared by the United States Depart

Shortage of sugar-beet seed In the
United States for the 1921 paintings
will be serious unless the beet sugar
companies and seed growers in this
country arrange Immediately for tie
production Of a large part of their
sugar-beet seed requirements for that
year. This statement is based upon
unofficial bat reliable reports from
representatives of beet sugar compan-
les and seed dealers who have recent
ly visited the sugar-beet seed-produc-
ing countries of Europe.
The sugar-beet seed situation for
1921 Is serious because of the limited
production of sugar-beet seed in Eur,
ope as compared with former years,
because of the increased activity in
beet-sugar production in European
countries, and because of the increased
acreage planted to beets in this coun-

FELL TO RooSEvELT'S SPEAR
Big DevIlfish Victim Of the Colonel's
Love Of Sport, Either on
Sea or Land.

The fame of the late Col. Theodore
Roosevelt as big game hunter is well
known, but he was equally as adept at
killing big fish of the sea, according to
Russell ]. Coles, noted big-fish killer.
Attracted by one Of Coles articles
about killing the devilfish, the colonel
appealed to him for instruction in the
art. After taking several land lessons,
using rpear with which he saw an
African kill lion, he finally became
expert. and Mr.. Coles formed party
to hunt the devilfish off the coast of
Florida, in Punta Gorda, March 25,
1917. There the colonel killed his first
devilfish, hitting the huge creature,
which weighed many tons, Just two
inches from the spot indicated on
drawing by Coles, and driving the
spear two feet four inches through the
heaviest and boniest structure of the
fish. The colonel was standing on the
cab of small boat travelling nine miles
an hour, and the fish was coming to-
ward the boat at the rate of Is or 18
miles an hour, swimming about four
or six feet under water Had the
colonel missed his aim the fish would
have been able, with one of its side
fins to upset the boat and drown the
fishermen. An hour after his first
catch the colonel killed a second devil
fish, which was the second largest
devilfish ever killed. Mr.. Coles Is a
scientist who has hunted devilfish for
more than 20 years.

GRIT is POULTRY ESSENTIAL
pairing Food for Digestion
Part of Feed

Grit Is essential to the health of the
fowls and to economy in feeding. Grit
takes the place of teeth in preparing
the feed for further digestion, and is
required for the proper preparation of
feed In the gizzard. When the feed is
not properly taken care of in this or
gan, an undue strain is thrown on the
fowls system. often resulting in dis
ease, and also allowing much of the
nutriment to pass through the birds
body without being absorbed. In every
pen or yard box of grit should be
kept. Investigators have asserted that
grit is q part OF the necessary iced,
giving the fowls strong bones and
