SUGAR BEETS A CROP OF GREAT PROMISE INDUSTRY OFFERS SUBSTANTIAL REWARD TO FARMERS OF ORANGE COUNTY CALIFORNIA PRODUCES ABOUT ONE-THIRD OF YIELD RAISED IN THE UNITED STATES The sugar beet industry, that has done so much for the prosperity of European farmers, and promises to do the same for American farmers, is little more than one hundred years old. The first practical sugar factory was erected at Lille, in the south of France, in 1810. Napoleon the Great, wishing to wrest from England her supremacy on sea and land, had decreed that all commercial relations with England must cease. At that time English colonies were practically supplying all the sugar used in Europe, and as a consequence of Napoleon's embargo the price of sugar had risen to a dollar per pound in France. In casting about for a new source of obtaining sugar from other than cane sources the chemist Achard, after experimenting on many other vegetables, discovered that the common beet contained about 6 per cent of sugar. Napoleon was quick to see the possibilities of the new industry, and had large from the four million acres of barley we harvest about ninety-two million bushels, while Germany harvests from about the same acreage one hundred and sixty million bushels, or seventy per cent more than we do. The same is true of other crops. Our average yield of wheat per acre is about fourteen bushels against Germany's thirty bushels; our average yield of oats is about twenty-four bushels against Germany's fifty-eight; our average yield of potatoes is ninety-five bushels against Germany's two hundred and five. Moreover, European economists say that if cane and beet sugar could be produced side by side, the cane sugar at a cost of two cents per pound and the beet sugar at a cost of four cents per pound, it would be cheaper for the nation to raise the beet sugar on account of the indirect agricultural advantages to be obtained through rotating the land with sugar beets. The sugar beet industry is particularly adapted to California and the western states generally, and once the tariff question is definitely settled we may hope to see the Pacific Coast states and the Rocky Mountain states furnishing the entire amount of sugar consumed in the United States, and with it keep within our own country some three hundred million dollars annually. BEARD VS. SMOOTH FACE The newspapers of the current week have printed a London dispatch stating that "pointed beards, the moustache, and perhaps whiskers are coming in favor." Smooth faces have been stylish so that they look even better. In casting about for a new source of obtaining sugar from other than cane sources the chemist Achard, after experimenting on many other vegetables, discovered that the common beet contained about 6 per cent of sugar. Napoleon was quick to see the possibilities of the new industry, and had large appropriations made by the French government for its encouragement, and in a few years over five hundred small sugar factories sprung up in France, and the industry spread rapidly to Germany, Russia, Holland, Denmark, and to nearly every country in Europe with the exception of Great Britain and Ireland. The little industry fostered by Napoleon has grown to such gigantic size that it now distributes yearly to the farmers of Europe about three hundred million dollars, and to the other industries about one hundred and fifty million dollars. When Napoleon's military glory will be dimmed, the future European economist will sing his praises for establishing one of the world's greatest industries, supplying two-thirds of the sugar of the world; for had it not been for the establishing in Europe of this industry, the price of sugar would undoubtedly be higher than it is at present, and Europe's sugar importations would be costing her nearly six hundred million dollars annually. In the United States many attempts were made, even as early as the year 1830, to establish the sugar beet industry here; but it was not until 1879 that the first successful sugar beet factory was erected in our own State, at Alvarado, California, and this factory is still in operation. At the present time we have about seventy factories in the United States, of which ten are in California. In 1897 there were produced in the United States about 45,000 tons of beet sugar, while there were produced in 1911, 560,000 tons of beet sugar, of which amount California produced about one third. If it were not for the unfortunate agitations that come up perennially over the sugar question, the sugar beet industry would by this time have grown much larger than it is at present. While politicians may wrangle over the economic problems of a tariff, it might be well if we would bear in mind that homely, but wise, answer given by the immortal Lincoln when asked his opinion on the tariff. He said, "If we buy from Europe a ton of milk we get the rails and Europe gets consumed in the United States, and with it keep within our own country some three hundred million dollars annually." BEARD VS. SMOOTH FACE The newspapers of the current week have printed a London dispatch stating that "pointed beards, the moustache, and perhaps whiskers are coming in favor." Smooth faces have been stylish so long that it is quite possible that fickle fashion may again decree that man be a fur bearing animal. In early youth one watches for the first silky sprouts of the moustache as one longs for the dawn of morning. It is often called the badge of manhood. But many a youth is loaded by nature with a moustache having a pronounced downward and inward droop. Permitted to grow, it gives one a despondent and forceless appearance. No matter how greased by the barber, no matter how patiently twirled by the possessor before his mirror, no long and drooping moustache can be made consistent with an alert and vigorous appearance. And yet many young men of 21 spoil their own good looks by wearing them, merely because it makes them look 30 years of age. At the other extreme is the man who has worn a beard until fifty or more. Some day he is possessed by a neighbor who has grown young by shaving his face, being fortunately gifted with good features. Influenced thereby to slaughter his own hairy covering, he passes his hands with delight over the smooth and shapeless expanse. He imagines his friends admire his bull jaw and flabby neck. It happens that the coarsening hand of time has hit him hard, and he has thrown away the veil nature offers the male half of creation. The smooth face gives the appearance of youth, of alterness, and of sincerity; the beard, that of dignity and stability. But if the beard is not well cropped and combed, it says rusticity. The great objection to beards is that the majority of whiskered men think they conceal soiled shirts and neckties. Therein they sadly err. ENORMOUS WASTE OF COAL Millions of Dollars Annually Sacrificed by Improvident Methods Of a production of 500,000,000 tons of coal in the United States in the last year, 250,000,000 tons were either nearly resembles this pest that the flesh of the fruit affected. Yet compared with other insects its work is have pests of the leaf, tree and root, but this pest stands far above all in its ness. Where apples attract moth are reduced in value use, fruit with maggots is worthless. To use the oak—what is worse than fir in an apple?—the answer finding a dozen writhing maggots in an orange or oak. Writing in a recently letin issued by the St. Horticulture, H. A. Weimloulu, Hawaii, gives us observations: Its history I shall not cept to say that by someone traveled from its home, rural enemies kept it in Africa, Australia, and the Islands, leaving behind its ravages. Sufficient is it was first known in H summer of 1910, and in the date has extended its run but one of the five important groups. To understand the necessary to state that this group cover some miles, stretching in a cloak 250 miles. They have a climate ranging from thicker ward slopes, where it rises as three inches an hour leeward slopes which arid, and from the warm gles below 1,000 feet capped peaks of extinct high as 10,000 feet. The original inhabitant easy living from the natual root of the taro, whose most untended. When they came they obtained grants and intermarriages large tracts and land and sugar became their source of revenue. Say that 90 per cent of the islands are central growing and exporting banana, pineapple and are but small compare they are increasing rapid and importance. Outside islands may be said to industries. As the sugar industries became of more interest we have Honolulu, a chl habitants, and Hilo of few others of lesser im amount California produced about one-third. If it were not for the unfortunate agitations that come up perennially over the sugar question, the sugar beet industry would by this time have grown much larger than it is at present. While politicians may wrangle over the economic problems of a tariff, it might be well if we would bear in mind that homely, but wise, answer given by the immortal Lincoln when asked his opinion on the tariff. He said, "If we buy from Europe a ton of rails, we get the rails and Europe gets the money; but if we produce the rails, we have both the rails and the money." The United States Agricultural Department states that we possess abundance of land suitable for beet culture that could be used to produce all the sugar we need in America. The present consumption of sugar amounts to about four million tons, about one-sixth of which is produced in the United States, the balance being imported in the raw from foreign countries where cheap labor is available, and the cost of refining the sugar in the United States is only about one-half cent per pound. If we imported all the sugar we used, and merely refined it in this country at that refining cost of one-half cent a pound, it would contribute to the American industry only about twenty-three million dollars, whereas to produce the same amount of sugar from American grown beets would contribute close to three hundred million dollars to the American industry. But there are other and more important reasons why the beet sugar industry should be fostered in the United States, and one of these is on account of the beet's value in crop rotation. In European countries where beet-growing is practiced it is found that they get much larger yields of crops per acre than we do in this country. Take for example, barley. Our greatest barley states are California, Minnesota, and South Dakota; and The great objection to beards is that the majority of whiskered men think they conceal soiled shirts and neckties. Therein they sadly err. ENORMOUS WASTE OF COAL Millions of Dollars Annually Sacrificed by Improvident Methods Of a production of 500,000,000 tons of coal in the United States in the last year, 250,000,000 tons were either wasted or left underground, probably unfit for future use, according to a statement issued at Washington by Dr. Joseph A. Holmes, director of the United States Bureau of Mines. In addition to this startling waste, Dr. Holmes declared that users of coal, through faulty methods derived only about 10 per cent of the energy of coal used. Furthermore, he added, the loss by waste in other minerals, such as zinc, nitrogen, potash, sulphur and natural gas, would reach into the hundreds of millions of dollars annually. Director Holmes based his declaration on an exhaustive report just made by Charles L. Parsons, chief mineral chemist of the bureau, who points out some of the heaviest annual losses as follows: Two hundred and fifty million tons of coal. More natural gas than is now consumed. Ninety per cent of the energy of coal consumed. By antiquated coke-making methods, $40,000,000. Nine million tons of sulphuric acid from smelters' chimneys. These losses are only the beginning of the enormous drains on the country's natural resources, Mr. Parsons contends. Officials of the bureau, however, are hopeful for strides toward reform. Already, they say, remedial laws, Federal, State and municipal, are bringing about a better understanding of the situation. As it was the sugar, and attack pineapple, banana nor the backyard fruits and wild, very little excite When, however, one sees what ravages it could table fruits, and California the bars on all fruits and pineapple, the avail- RAVAGES OF THE FRUIT FLY IN HAWAII CALIFORNIA GROWERS EXERTING EFFORTS TO KEEP OUT MEN-ACE TO INDUSTRY SPREAD TO ALL BUT ONE ISLAND OF HAWAIIAN GROUP, CAUSING DAMAGE TO FRUIT There is probably no pest threatening greater menace, and consequently of more interest to California fruit growers, than the Mediterranean fruit fly, which at present is puzzling the horticulturists of several countries. Growers of this state are at present exerting an earnest endeavor to bar this pest from obtaining a foot-hold upon these shores. Of the pests in California, perhaps the codling moth of the apple most nearly resembles this pest, in the fact that the flesh of the fruit is the part affected. Yet compared to this and other insects its work is fearful. We have pests of the leaf, the bark, bud, and root, but this pest of the fruit stands far above all in its destructiveness. Where apples attacked by the moth are reduced in value for sale or use, fruit with maggots in it is utterly worthless. To use the old conundrum—what is worse than finding a worm in an apple?—the answer should be, mined on an attempt at control. Since it was to California's interests, and equally so—considering the above conditions—to those of Hawaii to control the pest in its ravages, a joint campaign was entered into, Hawaii beginning in November, 1911, and California entering in February, 1912. The means of control to be adopted became a problem. All previous experience in other countries, such as Australia and South Africa, pointed to the fact that the pest was exceedingly difficult to combat since no effective parasite was known and no artificial means of control had been found completely satisfactory. Traps were thought of and tested in all designs and ways, but the only results obtained so far have been through the use of simple traps based on the fact, discovered by a farmer in Australia, that the male flies were attracted by kerosene. Tests have shown that almost equal numbers of male and female flies issue from the fruit, and supposing that wherever male flies are the females are also, this style of trap serves to tell whether there are large or small numbers of flies in a given vicinity. The trap is made of an inch deep pie tin suspended under a tin covering hung in the bushy part of a tree with a small amount of kerosene in the bottom. The cover aids in that the files hovering about once under the cover are almost sure to get into the kerosene, and in that it keeps out the rain, dirt, etc. This means, however, as a method of control is not satisfactory, as the proportion of females to males caught is about 1 to 200, and the volatile and seemingly most attractive parts of the kerosene evaporate rapidly, making it necessary to replenish it often. However, this method serves NEWS FROM THE STORES There is a great deal of news in the newspapers besides what is found in the "news columns." The advertisements, too, have their stbry of successes, failures, and opportunities. The people who neglect this story are as poorly fitted to do the buying for a home, as the grocer who would never read a produce report. Every merchant is often finding, through some error of judgment, or through seasonal conditions beyond human control, that he must turn his goods to cash. No human mind can possibly estimate what kind of goods the public will take to. The over stock often consists of the most substantial articles, which did not sell because they were not showy enough. Notes must be paid, new goods must be put in. Low prices must be offered. The result is a profit for the wary trailer of bargains. The life of the merchant is a long struggle to get a high range of values from importers, manufacturers, and jobbers. When he does get particularly good values, he usually feels it better policy to give his customers the benefit. It is out of these ups and downs of the day's work that the modern advertisement is created. There are many dealers in the produce market who spend thousands and thousands of dollars annually for telephone and telegraph messages to great metropolitan centers, to get the latest figures on grain prices. They believe it worth almost any price to know the market changes a few hours or minutes before their competitors. The buyer for the home needs similar information about purchases, and she gets it for the price of new nearly resembles this pest, in the fact that the flesh of the fruit is the part affected. Yet compared to this and other insects its work is fearful. We have pests of the leaf, the bark, bud, and root, but this pest of the fruit stands far above all in its destructiveness. Where apples attacked by the moth are reduced in value for sale or use, fruit with maggots in it is utterly worthless. To use the old conundrum—what is worse than finding a worm in an apple?—the answer should be, finding a dozen writhing, wriggling maggots in an orange or other fruit. Writing in a recently published bulletin issued by the State Board of Horticulture, H. A. Weinland, of Honolulu, Hawaii, gives us the following observations: Its history I shall not dwell upon except to say that by some means it has traveled from its home, where its natural enemies kept it in check, to South Africa, Australia, and the Hawaiian Islands, leaving behind these checks to its ravages. Sufficient is it to say that it was first known in Hawaii in the summer of 1910, and in the interval to date has extended its ravages to all but one of the five important islands of the group. To understand the situation, it is necessary to state that the islands of this group cover some 6,300 square miles, stretching in a chain for some 250 miles. They have all varieties of climate ranging from the rainy, windward slopes, where it rains as much as three inches an hour at times, to the leeward slopes which are almost arid, and from the warm, tropical jungles below 1,000 feet to the snow-capped peaks of extinct volcanoes as high as 10,000 feet. The original inhabitants reaped an easy living from the native fruits and the root of the taro, which grows almost untended. When the white men came they obtained by purchase, grants and intermarriage with the natives, large tracts and areas of land, and sugar became the principal crop and source of revenue. It is safe to say that 90 per cent of the industries of the islands are centered about the growing and exporting of sugar. The banana, pineapple and rice industries are but small compared with it, yet they are increasing rapidly in extent and importance. Outside of these the islands may be said to have no other industries. As the sugar industry grew, the ports became of more importance, and we have Honolulu, a city of 50,000 inhabitants, and Hilo of 7,500, besides a few others of lesser importance. Situated as they are, on a disintegrated tree with a small amount of kerosene in the bottom. The cover aids in that the files hovering about once under the cover are almost sure to get into the kerosene, and in that it keeps out the rain, dirt, etc. This means, however, as a method of control is not satisfactory, as the proportion of females to males caught is about 1 to 200, and the volatile and seemingly most attractive parts of the kerosene evaporate rapidly, making it necessary to replenish it often. However, this method serves satisfactorily for check purposes. The question often arises, whether or not a poison spray might be used. We find that Mally, in his report from the Cape of Good Hope, strongly advocates the use of a lead arsenate-sugar spray and gives tests which show favorable results. It is reported that where this method has been used, the infestation has been reduced from 70 per cent to 5 per cent. Why, then, cannot this method be used in Hawaii? First, let us remember that the condition under which Mally worked were orchard conditions, and that the commercial returns of the country were vitally affected. Here there are no commercial fruit orchards or groves of the kind of fruit attacked by the fly, but only wild fruits and those in the home yards. Of these wild fruits the guava is by far the most formidable host. It grows on a bush-tree ranging from two to twelve feet high. The fruit is about the size of a large apricot, brownish yellow with pink pulp in which are many seeds. It grows anywhere and everywhere below an elevation of about 1,000 feet, in ravines, on the cliffs and by the roadside. It is in bearing at some elevation the whole year round, there being, however, maximum and minimum seasons. In order to test the extent to which the fly attacked this fruit, nine lots of a dozen guavas each were obtained, varying in distance from two to five miles from Honolulu as a center, and ranging for six or eight miles the other way. These guavas were taken in the latter part of January when the fruit was not in the fullest bearing, and with few exceptions, from the ground, in order to get those most probably attacked by the fly. From this lot of 108 fruits 125 files were bred. This, as against 40 for one Kamani nut two-thirds as large as a guava and 25 for a single orange, led to the belief that the guava is not as extensively a breeding place for the fly as was at first supposed. This growth, as was stated, covers acres and acres, mixed with other growth and by itself. To burn it the day's work that the modern advertisement is created. There are many dealers in the produce market who spend thousands and thousands of dollars annually for telephone and telegraph messages to great metropolitan centers, to get the latest figures on grain prices. They believe it worth almost any price to know the market changes a few hours or minutes before competitors. The buyer for the home needs similar information about purchases,and she gets it for the price of a newspaper. All fluctuations, all the exigencies of the merchant that constitute her opportunity, all the special finds picked up by skillful buyers and offered the public at low figures, are made known and described in the newspaper. The information thus obtained gives you access to the most practical means for reducing the cost of living. The people who watch and follow up the bargains advertised in the newspapers are not much troubled by advancing prices.

The banana, pineapple and rice industries are but small compared with it, yet they are increasing rapidly in extent and importance. Outside of these the islands may be said to have no other industries. As the sugar industry grew, the ports became of more importance, and we have Honolulu, a city of 50,000 inhabitants, and Hilo of 7,500, besides a few others of lesser importance. Situated, as they are, on a disintegrated lava flow, between crater and sea, in a semi-tropical climate where something grows everywhere but in the streets, the cities are by the very nature of things, residential and commercial centers combined. The old Hawaiians were accustomed to have plenty of room, and the white people who followed them were not averse to the custom; consequently, the ordinary home lot is spacious and full of fruits and trees of the country. In the uncultivated sections will be found much native and some introduced growth. Of greatest importance among the wild fruits is the guava, which covers an immeasurable number of acres. This wild fruit forms a very important food product for the natives and is much enjoyed by others. Into this environment the Mediterranean fly was in some unknown way introduced. The climate was suited to its growth; there was plenty of fruit about, and through prolific reproduction it soon took a lasting hold. When discovered, it had become probably quite abundant, and, owing to the lack of known remedies, its ravages were unchecked. As it was not a pest of the sugar, and attacked neither the pineapple, banana nor rice, but only the backyard fruits and those growing wild, very little excitement was felt. When, however, one season had shown what ravages it could make on choice table fruits, and California had put up the bars on all fruits but the banana and pineapple, the authorities deter- Whole population surprised.
