CLAY FROM BEETS 



It is reported that French experts have dis- 

 covered that cement may be acquired from 

 sugar-beet. The beets are first boiled, and the 

 scum which rises to the top has up to the 

 present been thrown away. This scum, how- 

 ever, contains large quantities of carbonate of 



lime, something like 1,000 tons of the car- 

 bonate being recovered from 17,000 tons of 

 beets. By adding clay a good cement results. 



BEET SEED IMPORTS 



Imports of sugar beet seed into the United 

 Sta es for the fiscal year which ended June 

 30, 1917, amounted to 7,235 tons, valued at 

 $1,684,867, according to the trade statistics 

 issued by the Department of Commerce. 

 This is an increase of 60 % over the figures for 

 the preceding year, which were 4,521 tons 

 and $1,030,788 value.
