Ar exchange
vouches
the
information
that
the United States
Beet
Seed
Com-
pany
will discontinue
its work of proguc-
ing beet seed
after the 1920 campaign
be-
cause
of
the failure
that it
encountered
in
the
past
season.
The
company
will
plant 1,600 acres
of stecklings
this
year,
in the Snake
River District of Idaho,
and
this
will bea reduction
of half
of
its
acreage.
The directors of
the
company
believe
that
the beet
seed
industry
has
a big future,
but their
action
may
have
considerable
influence
on
other
organi-
zations
similarly situated.— Jbid.
A recent
issue
of Die
Zuckerindustrie
admonished
the
German
sugar
producers
and beet
raisers
to sit at
the altar of
in-
spiration
erected
in
France
where
the
free incense
of the law. of supply and
de-
mand is to be burned
next fall,
and
the
French
are to be
liberated
from
the
re-
gulations and clouds of dire necessity
are
going to breathe
freely
once
more
as
of
yore.
The editor
remarks
th-t
such
op-
timism
on the part
of France
that suffer-
ed
so
overwhelmingly
during
the
war
ought
to
be
downright
evidence
of
the
power
of the industry
to
come
back in
Germany
wheve
such
galling conditions
do not quite obhtain.—llbud.
The typhoon which swept
the
Formos-
an sugar
sections
will reduce
the
annual
cugar
crop
to about 260,000
tons
eentri-
fugal sugar
and 20,000
tons
museavado.
This is, however,
somewhat
larger
than
the
1918-19
crop
which
is
reported
at
230,713
tons.
The
1919-20 crop
has
been
estimated
at
300,000
tons.--Jbid.
