Adzuki bean from India were mentioned 

 as likely to prove of special value in 

 certain sections of this country. At the 

 Arlington Experimental Farm, besides a 

 good yield of hay, a variety of Adzuki 

 bean produced about twenty-six bushels 

 of seed to the acre. 



For a number of years the Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture has been engaged 

 in endeavoring to determine how far 

 local conditions affect the character of 

 the plants grown. Special work along 

 this line has been carried on with sugar 

 corn and cabbage, and the investigations 

 give promise of very interesting and 

 valuable results. 



Su^ar-beet Seed. 



For several years the growth of sugar- 

 beet seed in the United States has been 

 encouraged by the department in every 

 practical way, and expert breeders have 

 been developing beets of high sugar 

 content and heavy tonnage. During the 

 last year, experimental work with beets 

 raised from American-grown seed and 

 from European seed was carried on by 

 forty-nine collaborators throughout the 

 sugar-beet area. On 278 acres, the 

 American-grown seed yielded 14.32 tons 

 of beets to the acre, with an average 

 sugar content of 14.9 per cent, making a 

 total of 4,267 pounds of sugar to the 

 acre, while the imported seed as used

by the various factories averaged a yield 

 of 12.14 tons to the acre, with a sugar 

 content of 15.1 per cent, making a 

 total of 3,666 pounds of sugar to the 

 acre — a difference in favor of the Ameri- 

 can-grown seed of more than 600 pounds. 

 This, on the basis of the 376,000 acres 

 harvested in the United States in 1906, 

 would mean an increase in the total 

 quantity of sugar produced, without ad- 

 ditional cost, of about 226,000,000 

 pounds. Nearly half a million dollars 

 is now sent abroad annually for the pur- 

 chase of sugar-beet seed which could 

 readily be grown in America. 



Three years ago efforts for the pro- 

 duction of a sugar-beet seed having a 

 single germ were inaugurated, and at 

 the present time beets yielding from 

 forty-five to fifty per cent of single-germ 

 seed and having a very satisfactory su- 

 gar content have been obtained.
