HOW IT WORKED IN OHIO.

Paulding Banker Shows How Sugar Beet Culture Increased Prosperity. Thar the establishment 6f the sugar beet industry in Ohio will result in an increase of $20,000,000 in the value of farm lands in the state by the end of the present year is the statement of C. H. Allen, a banker of Paulding, O.! "Ohio and Indiana should become as great producers of sugar as Michigan," said Mr. Allen, "and they will unless hostile legislation by congress interferes with the natural development of this Industry. In Paulding county alone, although the beet sugar factory here has been in operation only two years, the value of farm property has increased $5,000,000 as a result of tha introduction of sugar beet culture. Another result has been the investment of $5,000,000 or, more in other beet sugar factories in this section of the state within the past year, which in turn will vastly increase the value of the farm land surrounding them, adding $20,000,000 or more to the agricultural wealth of this region. "Aside from the direct financial returns that have followed the establishment of the sugar beet industry in Ohio, there are numerous other benefits which, though not so direct, are no less important. To obtain good results from beet culture farmers have found It necessary to put more hand labor on the land. The result is that thousands of men, women and children are being taken from the overcrowded sections of the cities.of the state and set to work on the land, a back to the farm movement that Is of real practical value. "This increased tillage of the soil is the very best—and, in fact, the only effective—means of overcoming the weeds that are the chronic enemies of the farmer, choking his crops and exhausting his soil. Besides all this, we hare found that every other crop raised upon land that has been put into •ugar beets shows a greatly increased yield. "Upon a piece of land that had been In beets the previous season I myself raised seventy bushels of oats to the acre, while across the fence one of my neighbors, on exactly the same kind of land, got a yield of not quite fifty. Last year on another piece of land that had been used for sugar beets I grew fifty bushels of wheat to the acre where the ordinary crop is between twenty-two and twenty-five bushels. Farmers have learned so well that sugar land Increases the yield of oats that when they are In conversation among themselves and one reports a yield of from seventy to ninety bushels an acre the other will reply: 'You have raised It on sugar beet land. That accounts for It' "This year there will be taken from Ohio cities to the country to work in the beet fields over 5,000 people, and yet this industry Is only beginning in the state. Ohio ought to have twentyfive beet sugar factories, and Indiana, equally favorably located and with land peculiarly fitted to this crop, should have an equal number."

PLANT THAT IMPROVES SOIL

The Sugar Beet Increases Yield of Other Crops. How sugar beets Improve the fertility of the soil and increase the yield of all crops grown in rotation with them Is explained in the National Magazine by Truman O. Palmer, who has spent the past ten years in studying agricultural methods in Europe and America. "The sugar beet being a deep rooter," says Mr. Palmer, "a prerequisite to Its culture is that the soil be stirred to a depth of ten to fourteen inches. The tender beetlet having to undergo the shock of thinning soon after it comes up in order to leave but one beet to a place, it demands a well prepared, mellow seed bed. Gathering the sugar in its leaves from the atmosphere by the did of the light and storing it up in the roots, It will not thrive if the light is cut off through being shaded by weeds, and their eradication means not only a further stirring of the soli by cultlva tion and hoeing, but they are removed before going to seed, thus leaving weedless fields for succeeding crops.

Being plowed out in autumn gives an extra -fall plowing, which leaves the land in condition to absorb instead of shed the fall and winter rains and store up the moisture for the following season's crop. With the removal of the main root myriads of fibrous roots are broken off and left in the soil to an average of a ton to the acre, and in rotting they not only deposit humus in the lower strata of soil, but leave minute channels through which it becomes aerated and hence fertile. The roots of subsequent crops follow these interstices' and draw nutriment from two and three times the depth of soil formerly reached, and hence the farmers double and treble their soil output without increasing their acreage."

Beet Pulp as Cattle Food. In summarizing the important fea tures of sugar beet growing in various parts of the country the Department of Agriculture calls attention to Its peculiar Importance to the middle western states because of the extent to wliirh stock foodlng Is followed as an industry In this territory. Rppt pulp—that is. what remains »f tlit beet after the sugar has been extract ed—has been proved to be tin* lino-1 feed yet discovered for milk cow and for fattening cattle, sheep an' other farm animals. This is tru* whether the palp is fed In Its wet state as it comes from the factory or after being dried. A business of about $2,000,000 a year has grown up In the sale of dried beet pulp. In which form It can be shipped to any distance.^

Never before in the history of the stage has there been so much wealth expended on the presentation of a historical spectacle. Flashing jewels, dazzling armor, magnificent robes, superb draperies, the marvelous rugs of the Far East, the costly furnishings of 2,000 years ago—all these things are combined and displayed in the wonderful revival. Klaw and Erlanger, owners of this wonderful piece of theatrical property, have given it a production which in magnitude and spectacular gtandeur eclipses any production shown up to date on the American stage or in the theater of any other country. The magnitude of the scenic settings is of such a nature that there are only a few theaters with stages large enough to accommodate the equipment.

Carpenters, electricians and a horde of other workers are now in possession of the English opera house stage, getting ready for this production, and when the curtain does rise on the solemn and beautiful scene in the desert, where the Wise Men are waiting for the signal, the Star of Bethlehem, to point them the way to the Messiah, the spectator will view the spectacular achievement of American stagecraft. Klaw and Erlanger taxed the enormous resources of their theatrical plant in every department in building this new equipment. Their scenic artists and costumers, with their engineers and electricians worked for one solid year in combination and under the direction of artists and historians, antiquarians and scholars, to accomplish the seemingly impossible the effacement of former memories of "Ben Hur" productions. With this new spectacle they have built for themselves a monument as enduring as the name of Shakespeare in the glories and beauties of the new setting for the greatest story the world has ever known, "The Tale of the Christ."
