tWe Could Raise Enough of Them la One State, Declares the Secretary of Agriculture, to Supply the Nesds of the Whole Nation.

By JAMES WILSON, .. Secretary of Agriculture..One would think that we had enough

ent we are paying out to foreign nations the good round sum. of $100,000,-

000 each year for these things. This amount slips away from us for our an

nual importations of sugar, wnicn

comes simply from the carbon d:oxide of the atmosphere.' There is .no; reason

why we should not saveMhis" mount

for our own people, our farmers and laborers, and so on. "We could grow enough sugar beets in a single state to

supply the needs of

sugar we need right here at home. jBut at present we are paying this enormous sum each year to the cane producer in

the tropics, employing the cheapest la

bor under a foreign flag.

When I first entered the cabinet as

Secretary of Agriculture under Presi

dent McKinley in 1897 I had been con

nected with the Iowa State Agricul

tural college for six years, .and out there we had made experiments which taught us the great value of the sugar

beet not only for its sugar, but as an aid to the other crops and in its by

products as a food for the stock. -

We made experiments with all sorts

of root crops potatoes, sugar beets,

turnips, and so on to ascertain which would be the most profitable for the

Iowa farmers and dairymen. We had

a large herd of dairy cows, and we

tested these different vegetables on

the cows to learn their effect in the production of milk and butter. We found that we could not get good re-

sults from turnips, potatoes and cab-

HOW IT WORKED IN OHIO.

Paulding Banker Shows How Sugar Bset Culture Increased Prosperity. That the establishment of the sugar

beet industi"3r 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 O.

EC. Allen, a banker of Faulding, 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 $5,000,000as a result of the 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 yar, 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 tiiia 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 arex being taken from tlie overcrowd

ed 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 ex

hausting his soil. Besides all this, we have found that every other crop rais

ed upon land that has been put into

sugar beets shows a greatly increased

yieW.

"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 buslfels. Farmers have

learned so well that sugar land Increases the yield of oats that when they are in conversation amonaathemselves and one reports a yield of from jseventy

to ninety bushels an acre the other will reply: Tou 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, anil

yet this industry is only beginnings in

the state. Ohio oughtto have taty-

five beet sugar factories, and Indiana, equally favorably located and with land

peculiarly fitted to this crop, should

have an equal number."

hnfrA hppnnse of a deleturious acid

that affected the butter, but from

sugar beets we got a fine quality of butter. The importance of this is in

the fact that the farmer needs to use n mnt cron in his rotation to clear

the ground. The cultivation required by such a crop improves the yield of all succeeding crops. Europe had learned the value of the beet, and the northern continental nations were making their own sugar from it and by using it in rotation with other crops had been obtaining surprisingly big yields per acre. But here we had been backward in realizing its importance. The year I came into the cabinet the United States had produced only 29,000 tons of beet sugar. I managed to get public spirited persons to contribute beet seed to begin investigations, and we found that the two northern tiers of states had the most favorable conditions for beet culture. We made elaborate inquiries, sent seed in all directions and had the beets sent back to us for testings. A the same time we started encouraging beet growing in the north we began to stimulate the growing of rice in the south. And I anticipated that by this time our farmers would be growing enough of each of these

products for our needs. But. whi1" tbey

grow today substantially as mv: ice as is consumed in the United States, tlie beet crop furnishes only a small proportion of onr sugar. It is more difficult to educate our farmers to

beet raising. It is a more complicated

form of activity. Last year our sugar beet crop netted

595,-155 tons of sugar, worth $05,505,000. Of tli is the farmers received about

$26,350.000 for the beets, a fraction

over 40 per cent. The beet tops 'brought $3 an acre, amounting to $i,35S,47S; the pnlp (left after the sugar is extracted from the beets) was worth $3,633,10S and the molasses! a byproduct of the sugar, $1,211,030. So the total value of the crop was over .170,000,000. tTbere is no more profitable crop than Jhe sugar beet.

The Sugar Beet Increases Yield of Other Crops. How sugar boots 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 G-.' Talmer, 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 bcetlet having to undergo the

shock of thinning soon after it conies up in order to leave but one beet tö"a

plaqe, it demands a well prepared, mel

low seed bed. Gathering jthe sugar In its leases from the atmosphere by the aid of the light and storing it up in the

roots, it will not thrive if the light .is

cut oif through being shaded by weeds,

and their eradication means not only a

further stirring of the soil by cultivation and hoeing, but they, are removed before going to seed, thus leaving woodless 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 tlie moisture ox 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 Ptrata 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 yvithout increasing their acreage."
