BEET TOPS AND SUGAR.

Periodically there ARISES farmer
who wants to KNOW things; he is
not satisfied TO be told by the Agricul-
tural Department, or by unofficial ad-
visors. that the size of beet tops in
creases the contents of sugar in the
beet, but he wants to know the reason
why. This farmer IN the end will be the
successful one, and as there are prob
ably good many of his type who
have not written to SUGAR for de-
tailed information on this subject, but
who. nevertheless, WANT TO KNOW,
we repeat here what we told our In
quirer:
Sugar is produced by the action OF
light from the elements of the atmos-
phere. by means of chemical reaction
on the surfaces of the leaves. The
fresher and larger the leaves are, and
the more light they obtain, the more
sugar they are able to manufacture.
And this sugar is collected in the re-
cepticaI ofthe beet root, to be recov-
cred by the diffusion process in the
factory.
Beets. therefore. differ from soms
other plants in this respect. A large
foliage above he ground does not mean
that too much of the strength of the
plant has gone into the leaves, and too
little into the root. But it means that
a greater area of sugar production is
supplied to the root.-Sugar.
The future success OF the American
beet sugar industry will depend largely
on farmers who begin now to apply
the most scientific methods 10 farm
ing in an effort to bring production
on each acre to q maximum.

FIGHT FIRE AND PLANT TREES

America must practice forestry on
her privately owned timber land to
provide a future supply of raw material
for the lumber industry. and prevent a
wood famine said District Forester
George H. Cecil at Portland, Oregon
The timber of the United States is
being cut at the rate of 100000. 900
board feet a year without making any
provision for another crop of trees
when the present stand Is exhausted.
Fire protection is largely restricted
to mature timber. Fires are allowed to
sweep over the logged-off areas, de-
stroying the young tree growth with
which nature would reforest the land
Fire fighting will save hundreds OF
millions of feet of timber which will
take centuries to grow.

That's why you are interested in fire

We handle fire in this country much
as a national plaything.
The grown ups play with gasoline,
eunpowder and matches and the child
rem follow close behind with firecrack-
ers. bonfires. campfires, etc.
We are a fire loving people and that
is probably why our fire losses are the
heaviest of any nation.
That is also why we must school our

Teach the children and teach the ad-
