Sugar Beets Piled Ready for Market.

normal quantities of sugar-beet seeC
will be produced in European cOun
tries. American growers therefore
must depend to a 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 a 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
next year for the 1921 planting, it will
be necessary to select The beet roots
this fall, pit them so they will not
freeze during the winter, and plant
them as early as soil and weather con-
ditiOns will permit next spring. Per-
sons desiring full details in regard to |
growing sugar-beet seed should ad- !

These regulations are not being

and therefore the delousing and
fumigating must be done before the
traveller is landed. The expense of
the work here lis charged to the
steamship companies.
During the past week more than
a half dozen ships have arrived from
ports where typhus carrying sus-
poets could be taken on board. Ali

quarantine while the steerage pas

During the detention they are COM
