cultm-e that science has been able to suggest. The principles of feeding the sugar crops, the methods of culture and handling, the attention and skill of the workers, are such as to create in

every uekl and factory .devoted to sugar culture an agricultural experiment station of tiie highest type. The soil and climatic conditions in'the greater part of tho United States are thoroughly favorable to beet culture, and

America is the greatest sugar market in the world. "In the case of the sugar beet the crops which are grown in rotation with it yield very much larger returns than when tho old f.-slnoncd system of agriculture prevailed. The reflex action of this influence becomes a benefit to American agriculture the value nf

which it would be difficult to measure in dollars and cents. "Wherever the sugar beet is culti

vated tho farmers are all prosperous, no matter what kind of otl?er crops they rnNe. The beet eneraJly improves the productiveness of the soil in nil kinds of agriculture. It causes the employment of more labor and indirectly bonoPts commerce and transportation and ;.L-Qhicos in every community conditions of prosperity in agri culture v hi h it would be difficult tc bring about in any other way. Tho culture of tho beet brings into tLe neighborhood the large sugar fac- ;

sugar production to the prosperity ot the American farmer, if tariff adjustments are to be made, I believe that this should be the last rather than the first point at which to remove the cus

Wages and Prices of Beets Much Higher In the United States. The difference between the conditions under whieh iwt sugar is produced in the United States mid Europe Is

bujiungiy Known by i report just published as a Uniled States senate document. Summarizing 117 reports from various luiiropean countries, this document shows that (ir c-euts a day was the highest rate earned by men 'working in the European beet fields, while 4(5 cents was the average rate. In all the European countries, however, the

greater pan or (he lieh! labor is done 'by women aiul ehildre.i at wages ran -J ing from 10 rents a day for ehildren I in Russia to :,(' cents a day for women I in Denmark. To those poor hi borers I the SU.G'O a day. which represents the average earnings of Hold workers in the United Status, must 'appear a princely income. Among the factory workers onrnnA

in beet sugar production the difference Is equally striking The men working in the factories of the great European sugar making countries. Prance and Germany, receive an average rponv

j wage of S4 cents, according to official j figures published by their own govern iments. The average American wage for employees in the beet sugar facto ries. $2.Ü9 a day. is more than three times as great. . Likewise the farmer? who grow the beets in Europe receive only $- to $4.50 a ton for their crops, nlthcuisrh

tuey pay iur o rVe times as mu,.h rent for their land as the American farmer does. ' AVhilf tliese figures servo to show why it is that Europe can produce soar cheaper tllha the United States, it Is an inteesti.ig fact that the only important country of Europe where the people are able to buy suar cheaper than in the United States" is England. Even in England the price

pam lor tne sugar most gefierallj- used Is as hijrb as the prices paid here. On the whole, the lot of an American susa beet grower or worker must be considered preferable to that of his European competitor.
