Urge Planting of Sugar
Beets as Soil Relief

A remedy is sought for distressed
American wheat farmers who are sell
ing their surplus abroad at less than
its cost of production.
This condition arises not so much
from the low price Of wheat as from
the fact that while cost Of production
has increased, the yield per acre re.
mains at 13 to Is bushels, compared
with an average Of 24.7 bushels In
Northwestern Europe, their high yield
having been brought about by the in
PRODUCTION Of sugar beet culture.
One of the suggestions made for
their relief is for our farmers, where
the growing of sugar beets Is possible,
to devote sufficient Of their present
wheat area to sugar beets to produce
at home the sugar we now import,
writes Truman G.. Palmer the sugar
statlstician.
Among the numerous important ad-
vantages of this plan are:
First-It would create for American
wheat farmers a home market for a
profitable cash crop, on which they
would realize nearly two hundred mil
lion dollars annually:
Second-It would save our sending
several hundred million dollars abroad
for the purchase Of crop we are emf.
nently fitted to produce at home.
Third-It would save consumers on
the purchase Of sugar, as domestic al.
ways sells at lower price than i'm.
ported sugar. For several months
consumers in the West have been
purchasing domestic beet sugar for a
full cent a pound less than consum-
ers in the East have been compelled
to pay for imported sugar made from
Cuban raws.
Fourth-It would free the American
people from subsection to foreign
combinations which in 1920 boosted
the price of Cuban raw sugar to %
cents pound, at time when refined
domestic beet sugar was selling for
one-half that price.
Fifth-But more important than all
other considerations combined, II
would double the yield and reduce the
price Of every crop grown In rotation
with sugar beets, thus helping the
farmer and lowering the price Of all
food stuffs to the consumer.
Sugar beets improve the soil. Eu-
rope doubled her yield Of cereals per
acre by growing them In rotation with
sugar beets and other hoed root crops.
In 3O-year period QS79-1909) Ger.
many increased the cereal yield on
100000 acres by 530,0O0,O00 bushels
the value Of which has since been as
much every year as all 1t cost her to
establish the greatest beet-growine
industry In the world.
A similar increase in this country
would give our farmers an extra four
billion bushels of cereals without ex
ra cost, thus enabling them to pro
duce in competition with the world
owever low the price might go.

terial meeting these requirements.
An almost indispensable adjunct
to the milk house is cooling tank,
which is built essentially In the
same manner as stock watering
trough. Inlet and overflow fittings
should be provided, with proper
consideration for the depth Of wa
ter to be maintained in the tank so
that cans will be kept submerged
to well up around their necks.
Grooves cast In the bottom OF the
tank while its floor Is being con
creted will provide for adequate
circulation Of water under the cans.
These grooves can be formed by
pressing several triangular strips of
wood into the concrete before It has
hardened, and afterware removing
them.

1t has been estimated that at
least 80 per cent Of such dairy
products as milk and cream Is
wasted on the farm due to lack
of or insufficient cooling facilities.
The products spoil before they
can be marketed. These figures
are based on careful studies Of the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture and enable anyone to prove
to himself that the cost of milk
house is soon returned through pre-
vention Of waste.
For tank 8 feet long the follow

Immunity is the term applied to the
power of the body to resist infections
by germs. This immunity may be in.
born (called natural immunity or it
may be acquired.
Certain races possess immunity
against specific diseases to which 9TH
er races may be susceptible. One in
dividual may possess more immunity
against a disease than another indi-
vidual, but still not have sufficient
immunity to prevent infection by
that disease. When such partial i'm
munity exists the disease will occur
in mild form.
We can illustrate immunity by cit
ing what occurs during pus infec-
ton. When bacteria invade the It's
sues, whit blood corpuscles, the de-
fensive army of the body, are rushed
to the scene of invasion-the flrst-line
trenches. They destroy the bacteria,
and the bacteria destroy the tissues
and cells. The resulting debris is
known as pus. In the meantime the
body is producing substances which
neutralize the poison liberated by the
bacteria. These are known as anti
dotes, and are of different types. Anti
toxin is one variety. When sufficient
antibodies are formed, the bacteria
are speedily destroyed.
AS nature always overproduces, the
body produces more antibodies than
are actually needed to control the in
lection, and the surplus remain in the
blood stream in readiness for future
needs. This excess production of an
tibodies gives immunity to that par
t1cular infection, SO long as they re-
main in the blood stream.
Since each type of germ has spe-
ciic poison, the body must prepare a
new antibody, or anti-toxin, against
each one.> Against some organisms
antibodies are present from birth !;
against others the body must form
them when the need arises.
This is why physicians use accinevs.
which contain the killed or weakened
bacteria, which, when injected in the
body, will incite the production OF
antibodies sufficient to protect against
that infection. y
Sometimes physicians can infect
animals, in gradually increasing dos
es, until the animals blood is filled
with antibodies against that germ
They are then withdrawn from the
animals blood and kept in solution
until they are needed for human use
Thus it is that diphtheria anti-toxin,
if promptly used, will surely destroy
the poisons liberated by the diphthe
ria germ. While the human body can
itself produce anti-toxin against diph
iberia, to produce sufficient to contro
the disease takes long time, and the
child often is killed by the disease be
fore the body can unaided produc,
the necessary amount to control the
disease. In such case 1t is frequent
ly matter of life or death that the
artificial immunity be provided.

Dean Johnson Boosts
Value of County Fairs

County and community fairs are OF
real value to any community and
county when they stress some sound
educational features and clean recre.
alton, promote interest and pride In
local achievement, and create an at
mIosphere Of social unity" said Dean
Edward G. Johnson of the agricultural
college Of the State College of Wash
ington at recent meeting of farmers,
breeders and business men at Colfax.
"They are Of greatest interest to
those who give their time and effort
toward making them success, wheth-
err by entering livestock and other
farm products or handmade or manu-
featured goods for competition, or by
contributing time and funds for the
necessary preparation. When we'll
managed they also have large ap
peal to the general public.
"They are most successful when the
interest and effort of the whole com.
munity are enlisted. The cooperation
of the extension service of the college
| tnrOugn the boys and girls club work
and the county agent is very helpful
and should be secured. The farm bu
reau, the Farmers Union, the Grange,
and other farmers organizations con
tribute much toward the success when
they take hold. Much enthusiasm and
help can be gained, too, from agricul
tural classes and teachers in Smith.
Hughes schools.
"The good will and active help OF
breeders associations, bankers asso.
Citations, commercial clubs, and this
press, are essential. When all these
work together for the common pur.
pose of making the country fair true
educational, recreational and social
event for the community or entire
county every year, success Is as.
