D. uf Washington, been looking over the laet eugar Industry of Utah for three days. with lleprewntiitive In company comGeorge Austin, the Utah Sugar C. O. Tottiihrnd C., ha pany's agricultural superintendent, say the Salt Lake Tribune. Mr. Townsend la an official of the agricultural department, hi particular field being the beet sugar Industry. The department I making exhaustive experiment In the production of sugar beet seed, and It was to find out more about the demand for beet seed and the possibilities of supplying this demand that brought him west It seems that the government has not known that Utnh was the pioneer In the production of sugar beet seed In America, or even that the beet seed had ever been produced in this state at all. So when Mr. Austin told the Washington representative that last year the Utah Sugar company had produced more than forty tons of first class beet seed and that the sugar beet prise at the National Irrigation congress had been taken by beets grown from beet seed produced in the Bear River valley, the expert's surprise can easily be Imagined. When he was shown the big sheds at Garland In which are stored more than S00 tons of mother beets, ready to be set out as soon as spring opens, and the methods adopted for growing, threshing, and cleaning the seed, alt of which had been brought well nlgn to perfection by tbe Utah Sugar company, he decided that Utah was the most favorable spot In America for the government to carry on Its experiments In the production of sugar . beet seed. This state, because of Its freedom from hailstorms and Insect pests and the absence of drouth Insured by Irrigation, and assisted by the national government will soon have another well established and most Important Industry. For several years the agriculture? department has been earning on experiments, with the Idea of producing a single germ sugar beet seed. Each beet seed contain from one to eight germs, and when planted a single seed will often produce as many as six beets. Five of them have to be removed and the labor entailed by rea son of the multiple germ seed Is es tlmated at about $3 per acre. So It can readly be seen that should the department succeed In getting a single germ seed It would mean a saving to the farmers of 3800,000 yearly, for the sugar beet area In the United States last year was about 400,000 acres. Mr. Townsend explained the experiments he hud been making and Is sanHe has guine of ultimate success. been following several theories, but the one so far that has given the moat at a time on the Saratoga farm. When the beets begin to flower which will be about Juyl 1st, Mr. Townsend, with two or theree assistants, will come from Washington and take charge of the experiment and gather the seed, which is all done by hand and require much patience and scientific' accuracy. The department is also experimentAs all ing with the leaves of a beet. are there know, farmers observing beets which lie tiat'down, leaves that stand up erect, leaves that are short and some that are long, leuves that are crlnied and leaves that are smooth, in fact there are leaves of more than twenty varieties, all of which Mr. Townsend has had photographed. all of The beets which produce these varieties are being tested and the best variety will ultimately be selected as the kind from which to produce the future seed for American farmers. The agricultural department expects to solve the beet seed problem Just It solved the.' cotton and corn seed question to the benefit of the farmer! to the extent of million! of dollars. Mr. Townsend explained how there was a fine cotton fibre which wae short and a long cotton fibre which was coarse; but that there could not be produced a long cotton fibre that possessed a fine texture. The Yankee Ingenuity of the government expert solved the difficulty, after several years of experiments, and now we have any kind of cotton fibre desired. It will be remembered that a few years ago the base of corncob wae covered with large kernela but that they were fewer and amaller aa the end was approached. But today the kernels are almost as large on the tip of the ear as at the base and cover the cob entirely, for all of which we have to thank our Uncle Samuel and his agricultural experts. The Utah Sugar company4, under the superintendency of Henry A. Valles, began the production of sugar beet seed ten yenrs ago and' produced one sack of seed. The company has been experimenting every year since and last season raised forty tons of first class seed, and next season expects to produce more than 100,000 pounds, nnd eventually to supply all that is used In the Intermountain slatea They have solved the difficulty of how to store the mother beets nnd have Invented a seed cleaner that Is a' marvel In simplicity and effectiveness and for which Mr. Townsend strongly recommended Mr. Austin to take out a patent The sugar company now has a force of twenty young men testing the mothers up to the required standard In sachnrlne, for each beet must be tested separately and If It Is too low In sugar it Is discarded. In a few days fifty men and boys will be put to work to plant the mother beets In the field and the Job will last one month. Invaluable for Rheumatism.

PRESENT that New Convention Bo Mors Liberal Will to tho Washington special to the San Francisco Examiner says: American working people are again threatened with an Invasion of coolie labor from the most congested districts of China. It transpires, despite the efforts of the administration to keep the grave fact longer secret, that last December the imperial Chinese government formally denounced the existing treaty with the United States, and so the convention will expire by limitation on the 7th of next DecemA ber. This expiration of the treaty will be speedily followed by a new and that convention will act as treaty a In act exclusion of the present statand wherein treaty every respect re-Iie- al ute may clash. The purpose of China in denouncing the treaty of 1894 is to obtain one more favorable to entry of her people into the United States, and as the present secretary of state has not been friendly to the exclusion policy there is grave danger to the working classes of America In the situation by which the nation Is now confronted. The making of a new compact rests In the hands of the state department, under the supervision of the president and subject to subsequent ratification by the United States senate. Whether or not the United States will Insist upon proper regulations or an open door policy for coolies no one can ascertain. Secretary Hay, who Is In g machincharge of the to discuss declines ery, probable or wiil exclude that possible provisions hordes of yellow laborers. The fact that the department has kept secret the official denunciation of the Gresh am treaty for several months is taken as a sinister omen by leaders of organised labor In Washington. The house of representatives will, of course, have nothing to say about the terms of the new treaty, nor will the senate till the pact comes up for rati flcatlon. This move on the part of China, which, by the way, was predicted and confidently expected by the members of the California Chinese Exclusion commission, reopens the questions of the survival of white labor In competition with yellow. Secretary Hay admits that China denounced the treaty existing some time ago, but did not disclose the date. He says; "The treaty with China will expire next December. Some time between now nnd then we will have to draft a new one. Its provisions, of course, cannot be discussed at this time. That sll there is In the situation." The Chinese embassy is devoting all its talent to obtaining modifications of - 1 the present exclusion laws, and it Is definitely understood that a complete abrogation of all exclusion acts will be Insisted upon. In the fight before congress for the exthe of Chinese, Representative clusion LivtriiHMh, former Governor Budd of California, former Mayor Phelan of San lYancIsco, former Minister to Persia Truxton Beale and Andrew Furu-setrepresenting organised labor the California Exclusion commission found great difficulty In overcoming sentiment in Washington. The trusts want cheap labor, and ir white tollers can be forced to compete with coolies, wage rates will drop to the lowest level and the standard of living for American workingmen wilt be a rice diet and no beet The man behind the movement to open the doors to Chinese Immigration Is Wu Ting Fang, late minister to the United States and now of the Chinese foreign office. As an adroit diplomat Wu Ting Fang Is without a peer. He became entangled in the legislation of the last congress that enacted laws to exclude Chinese and in consequence of bis disregard of diplomatic bounds, nearly lost his official position. The Chinese government, it Is stated, believes that the laws, rules and regulations now In effect are unfair to Its interests. Therefore the imperial government haa taken advantage of the provision in the treaty to denounce It and will demand a new one. The treaty will, the Chinese expect, provide for the exclusion of certain classes of Chinese laborers; will do away with tome of the rules that must be overcome by a Chinese student or merchant seeking admission Into this country and will provide for the better safety of the Chinese In this country. While much reticence Is observed at present as to the lines upon which the new convention Is being framed, there Is reason to believe that It will be more liberal in the treatment of Chinese wishing to enter the United States, when they are not actually of the coolie class, than the existing treaty. There may also be made provision for the entry of Chinese laborers into the Panama canal atrip, though that Is not certain. An attempt has been made to make more extensive use of Chinese labor In the Philippines. if you desire .
