Sugar Beet Seed. fPurdue UDiversity Agricultural Ezperltneu Sutton. Newspaper Bulletin No. 72, Marti K, im.) During the past year the sugar beei industry in the United States hat made remarkable progress. Eighteen large factories were in operation and nine are in process of construction I The greatest activity is manifested in Michigan, where one factory had a successful season, and six more factories are being built. There is no doubt that many parts of Indiana are as favorably situated for the industry as is Michigan. The large bounty offered by Michigan is at present drawing a large amount of capital to that state. It is not likely that the Michigan bounty will remain at the present rate for a very long period, and then probably capital will seek the most favorable locations in Indiana. Many farmers in Indiana are already much interested In the matter and the results of many tests conducted last year are now published and ready for distribution by the Indiana experiment station. Numerous requests for seed £ave already been received. Since the sugar beet is a highly bred plant it is of the utmost importance that only seed of the Jbest quality should be used in conducting experiments to test the adaptability of a locality for sugar beet raising. Much

v/x tuc occu la ui iuw quality and the use of such seed may result in indicating that a given locality is not capable of producing good beets, when the real trouble is with the seed. * v On account of the vital importance of using seed of known quality the station has secured through the United State department of agriculture a supply of seed of high grade, and will distribute this so - long as i t lasts to such farmers in Indiana as wish to try beet raising, and will follow the necessary methods'as nearly as practicable. Seed will be furnished in quantities sufficient to plant one-eighjth to one-half' acre. Those applying for seed should state how much land will be used for beets and what kind of soil is available for the purpose. Full directions will be sent with the seed. Address applications to Purdue agricultural and experiment station, Lafayette, Indiana. H. A. Boston, Chemist. Going Down Hill.
