Impartial tests Just concluded In
the Home Economics Division OF
Iowa State College, Ames. Iowa, have
again proved that beet sugar Is un.
surpassed for use In the making of
jellies and cakes.
The tests were made by Associate
Professor Belle Lowe. specialist in
experimental cookery, and Miss Gail
Redfield. of Davenport. a senior home
economics student.
At one time belief prevailed wide
ly among housewives that beet sugar
was not suitable for jelly making
Much Of this belief disappeared years
ago with the acceptance Of research
work that had proved sugar had no
part In the Telling process--that fruit
Juice jalled only because Of the pres
ence OF sufficient pectin and acid In
the fruit juice itself.
Beet and cane sugar for these tests
was purchased through Iowa homo
demonstration agents from grocery
store stocks and the identity Of each
sugar was carefully concealed until af.
ter the tests were completed.
The jellies and cakes were judged
by a competent committee OF experts
and homemakers.
"The judges did not know what jel
lies were made from beet sugar and
what from cane sugar until after they
finished their work." the official re
port states. "They found no differ
ence in any of the jellies. Though
twenty lots of jellies were used they
were proven all Of like value for
jelly making"
Causes of failure In Jelly making
the experts said, 'are lack of enough
natural or added pectin in the Juice
wrong amount OF acid or sugar. Of

600, 900 CARS USING
MINNESOTA HIGHWAYS

Official records show that more
than ten times as many auto

ago when the total was i2,035

property tax and together ex-

Further, it shows that Mime

teen times as much for
cars as for roads on which
to run them with reason

judges found.
Success In jelly making" they
say, Ties In the study Of the real
causes for failure. To lay the trouble
to the sugar used is wrong-because
II blinds the woman who would be
good jelly maker to the real facts"
Twenty cakes were also submitted
to the judges, half mads from beet
sugar and half from cane sugar.
Slight differences were found but
none due to what kind of sugar was
used. For cake making, beet sugar
was reported as equal to any cane
sugar.
Professor Lowe says also that "ths
Wilderness of any kind of sugar
whether beet or camel is due to the
sparkling of small crystals and to the
clarifying methods used. The size OF
the grain depends upon the speed or
slowness Of crystalizing; the hardness
of the crystals Is a matter of tenn
perature In the making Of the sugar
at the factory. this hardness affecting
the quickness of the solution Of the
sugar when used. These differences
In sugars are not at all. as so many

RAILROADS REST CASE;
FARMERS FRAME QUIZ
Carriers Attempt to Show Ag-
ricuIture in Flourishing Peri
cd Of Prosperity--Hear-
ings Postponed.

The railroads closed their case
last week in the hearing before
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission in which "a western
lines are asking a blanket in
crease of 5 per cent on all freight
rates.
The hearing was adjourned I'M
til Oct. 26 to give the Farm Bu
reau and others representing the
shippers interests time to re-
view the testimony submitted
by the railroads, prepare ques-
tions for cross examination Of
witnesses and develop rebuttal
testimony. Then the evidence
against the petition will be sub
mitted at a series of hearings to
be held in various sections of the
affected territory.
The first Of these hearings will
be held in st. Paul on Nov. 8, at
which time the Minnesota Farm
Bureau will sumit an exhaustive
brief showing the data it has col
lected bearing upon the situation.
At the Chicago hearing which
opened Sept. s. the railrods first
presented voluminous testim-
ony exhibits, figures and charts
to prove that they were not earn
ing a fair return" on their cap
ital. They then tried to show
that agriculture is in a highly
prosperous state and that an in
crease in freight rates could not
harm the farmer.
So far only the railroads side
of the story has been heard, no
rebuttal testimony has been
offered, and as yet none of the
railroad witnesses have been
cross examined.
0. w. Sandberg, transportation
director of the American Farm
Bureau, says: The railroads
have drawn a clear line. They
have thrown the gauntlet to ag-
riculture. They have said that
we are not making as much as
we should and so we will make
the farmer pay us more. 1t is
the old game of making the
farmer pay the bill"
Other Farm Bureau officials
pointed out that it was signif-
icant that the railroads should
abandon their purely technical
income case in the first present
alton to show that agriculture is
prosperous, 1t would seem that
the railroads fully realize they
are only justified to a blanket
raise when such a raise would not
be harmful to the basic industry
of agriculture.
Economists, bankers and insur-
ance men were used in build
ing the railroads economic the
DRY.
The contest over this rate in
crease petition should be con-
elusive evidence of the need for
strong organization like the
Farm Bureau to defend the in.
terests of agriculture and offic-
ials of the Minnesota Farm Blu
reau feel they are entitled to the
support of every farmer in the
state in carrying on this work.

Nearly 100000 privately owned
automobiles are listed in Mime

$4,000 pleasure cars this year.
Private motor trucks have in

Trucks for hire showed a gain

SILO VS.. THE cow
by GUNNAR u. BJORNsON.
Editor OF the Minneota Mascot.

buitVf VI i've hfhntota mhscWs
The silo is the advance agent
Of prosperity, II is the dynamo
from which the COW draws her
power to produce dollars.
Where the silo rears its head
above the group of buildings on
a farmstead it will be an excep-
ton to find a shiftless farmer or
a thriftless home.
The silo-that silent sentinel
Of saneness, sense and security
lis the farmers own mint.
Through it pass the silver mug
gets Of the milk white corn,
there to be transformed into the
bullion that later issues in foam
ing streams Of wealth-laden but
ter fat.
The silo, under proper manage
ment, can lift the heaviest mort
gage. II has been known to put
meat on mere bones and sleek
ness into wrinkled hides. 1t has
saved men from bankruptcy and
women from broken heart. II
has sent promising youths to col
lege and built comfortable homes
for care-worn mothers.
A well filled silo is worth more
to any farm than a well filled
politician. A silo for every farm
err would do more good for the
agricultural interests of the
country than If we. had farmer
in every senator.
Better a silo filled with food
for stock than stableful of
food for thought.
When the sculptor Of the future
shall hew from the enduring
granite of the northwest, a sta
tue of the Liberator of Agricul-
ture, he will bring forth a col
losal figure, clad in the hablli-
ments of the soil.tiller, bearing
upon the outstretched palm of
the left hand silo, and upon
the palm of the right, a Holstein
cow.
Better a silo and a herd of
Holsteins than the capitol at
Washington and five hundred
price-6xing congressman.
When things have gone wrong
in any Of the basic divisions OF
human society, the remedy is al
ways to be found in turning
back to the elemental and the
fundamental. AT the foundation
of the industry of agriculture is
the COW. She was the first aid
to the first husbandman. She is
the cornerstone Of mans achiev-
ment upon the earth. Using the
term in its broadcast sense, we
may say that. industrially speak
ing, the COW is the mother of
the human race"
Ever since man left the Garden
of Eden he has been milking
cows. He has been robbing the
COW by taking from her every
thing that she has produced and
grudgingly only has he given her
food in return for all that she
has given him.
The silo is a belated attempt
to do better by the COW and, in
her historic unselfishness, she
will repay every such attention
a hundredfold.
Forward to the Silo and back
to the Cow!

CONTRADICTING

Robt. La Toilette. Jr., won the
first round in his battle for a
seat in the u. S. Senate last Tues
day by a decisive majority over
the field and in all probabilities
will be elected two weeks hence.
The Herald believes that the peo-
pie Of Wisconsin have made a
mistake. We believe that the
state will be improperly repre-
sented in the u. S. Senate and
that little if any good can flow
from the selection of this young
radical for a seat in Congress.
However. Wisconsin is paying for
her own folly. Twenty-Five years
ago the Railroads and Lumber in
terests located in that state took
complete possession of its entire
state affairs and ran them with
a high hand. Ordinary citizens
kicked and buffeted about like
so many wooden pins and only
those with a pull could be rec
ognized. Everyone knows the
story Of Wisconsin and the fight
between LaFollette and the in
terests. 1t lasted more than
twenty years and during that
time Wisconsin was changed
from a conservative state TO a
radical hot bed, and they can't
get over il. That's why young
Bob is slated to succeed his faith.
er in the Senate. North Dakota
played the same trick on her
people and paid dearly for il.
They have been trying to put
the same kind of a deal over in
this state and ON one or two oc-
casions came very near succeed
ing st. Paul Herald.
II seems that the Herald
is sort Of contradicting it.
self. II, as it reports, the Rail
roads and Lumber interests ran
state affairs with high hand,
is il then any wonder that Wis
consin was changed from a con-
sentative state TO a radical hot
bed? The state of Wisconsin
looks much like any other state.
in fact it is ahead of many, and
its people seem to be happy and
contented. But it is another
question il il is wise TO select
young LaFollette to take the
place of his father--which UNI
doubtedly is done partly on ac-
count of the favorable reputa-
ton Robert M. LaFollette had in
the state. The younger LaFol-
lette, however. also possesses abih-
ty. Attention has been called to
this by the well known Socia-
list leader, Victor Berger, of
Milwaukee. IL sort Of brings
back the old style Of govern
ment-positions of trust being
handed down from father to son.
