Sugar Beets Considered
Good Crop for Dairymen

The sugar beet is an important
cash crop, according to University
Of Wisconsin. Years of extensive
production prove that the crop
blends in well with dairy farming,
makes good use of farm manure
and leaves the soil loose and friable.
Beets seldom are damaged by
either late spring or early fall frosts.
There are few crops that leave the
soil in as good condition. The tops
are very valuable feed for cattle
and sheep. They may be pastured,
partially cured and put into trench
silos, or used as silage.

side of the leaves.
The eggs hatch in few days into
voracious larvae which, after feed
ing for about 10 days, leave the
plants and enter the soil to complete
their development. They emerge as
adult beetles by the latter part Of
July. A second brood is produced
in August and adults of this genera
ton winter in the soil. Both the
larvae and adults are severe defoli-
ators of the plants. =

U.S.. Treasurer
Has Signature
On ~ Billions

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Meet the
Treasurer of the United States, Will
liam Alexander Julian. He's been
on the job since 1888.
Ever hear Of him? Lots of people
haven't.
If you haven't, it's because you
don't read your paper money-any
paper money-down in the left hand
corner.
There it is, his signature: w. A.
Julian, treasurer of the United
States. He's not secretary Of the
treasury. That's John w. Snyder.
Julian is the big bookkeeper on all
the money the government collects
and spends. He has a staff of 1,60O
people. His salary: $4,000 year.
Snyder, as secretary of the treas
ury, has a different job. He doesn't
have to worry about the bookkeep-
ing. He sets money policies, such
as on government loans.
Snyder's signature is on all the
paper money printed since he be-
came secretary a couple of years
ago. It's down in the right hand
corner opposite Julian's.
Name Is on All Currency
But Julian's is on all the paper
money printed since 1888, when he
became treasurer, opposite the
names Of all the treasury secre.
taries since then: William H. Wood
in, Henry Morgenthau,. jr., Fred A.
Vinson, and Snyder.
In short, Julian's name is on paper
money worth about 2714 billion dol
lars. His office is part of the treas
ury department under Snyder.
Back around 1923 Julian retired
from business. He was reported
then to be a millionaire.
He had been shoe salesman.
Then, as a shoe manufacturer, he
built up the fortune he Is reported
to have.
He was also president Of a trust
company in Cincinnati, Ohio, and
director Of other banks. When he
quit making shoes, he kept his bank
directorships.
Meanwhile, he was a Democrat.
Runor said he was one Of the
angels" of the Democratic party In
Ohio. Then President Roosevelt and
the new deap' came along in 1888.
Roosevelt Appoints Him
Roosevelt appointed Julian treas
urer of the United States.
If Julian retired from business In
1928 and became treasurer in 1888,
how old was he in 1888?
In 1888 friends guessed he was
about 68 years old. Newspaper files
don't show his age. The story of
his life, but not his age, is in Who's
Who in America.
Julian himself has been shy about
his age. One Of his top assistants,
asked about it,~said:
''The only ones who know the an
swer to Julian's age are God and
Julian. I should think he's in his
late seventies" ~.
But if he was 68 in 1888, he must
be 83 now. Asked directly, Julian
said: "T'm old enough to know bet
