We Could Raise Enough of Them In One State, Declares the Secretary of Agriculture, to Supply the Needs of the Whole Nation. By JAMES WILSON, Secretary of Agriculture.

One would think that we had enough sunshine and wind and rain in this country for all our needs, but at present we are paying out to foreign nations the good round sum of $100.000,-

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

nual importations of sugar, which comes simply from the carbon dioxide of the atmosphere. There is no reason

why we should not save this amount 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 the entire nation. 1 hope some day we shall grow all the sugar we need right here at home. But at present wo are paying this enormous sum each year to the cane producer in the tropics, employing the cheapest labor under a foreign Hag. AVhon I lirst entered the cabinet as Secretary of Agriculture under President McKinley in 1897 I had been connected with the Iowa State Agricultural 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 aa aid to the other crops and in its byproducts 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

i production of milk and butter. We

found that we could ot get good results from turnips, potatoes and cab-

butter. The importance of this is in!

the fact that the farmer needs to use a root crop 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 20,000 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 cul

ture. We made elaborate inquiries, sent seed in all directions and had the beets sent back to us for testings. At the same time we started encouraging beet growing in the north we begai 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. Hut, while they grow today substantially as much rice as is consumed in the United States, the beet crop furnishes only a small
