GOOD PICTURE ST BRPIIE1, 1GII PEARSON EXCELLENT There is one of the beat picturos seen in Ogden for many weeks now playing the Orphoum theatre tonight and Wednesday. The picture is Vir-I Vir-I ginia Pearson, the Fox star, in "A Royal Romance," and the large audiences audi-ences that saw it Sunday and Monday Mon-day nights expressed the keenest delight de-light with the production. It's full of romance, love and intrigue, with plenty plen-ty of action and a few thrills. The photography is really marvelous. At the Orphoum for 10 oents. Advertise-menL Advertise-menL oo Nation's Appeal j H v For Sugar 1 H i Beets I H j, . . H 1 By Associated Press M Washington, -May 12. With the world's stock of sugar being rapidly depleted, the department of agriculture today appealed to the IH !j manufacturers and farmers to Increase the production of sugar. H jj Prospects, are, according to the department's experts, that in many H t portions of the area devoted to sugar beets in this country the acre- H age this year will exceed that of any previous year. j I PLANT ONE MORE ACRE 1 t g Washington, D. C, May 21. The need for Increasing our domestic I I sugar supply ls urgent. The result of the war in Europo' has been I Li materially to decrease the world's sugar supply and at the same time H J to increase its uses. The conduct of modern warfare has developed so I jJ jl many additional uses for sugar that sugar consumption in Germany I lf has about doubled. Soon the United States will be in need of a great- I IH ly increased supply of sugar and the 1917 world supply will be several H :; million tons below normal. I H ' During the past two years our beet-sugar factories have exper- I H ' ienccd great difficulty in securing sugar-beet seed from foreign coun- I jH X tries, but aided by the department a fair supply of seed has been se- 5 cured from Russia and considerable high grade seed is now being grown H J J in tho United Statos. While some factories are not amply supplied, I H others have more than enough seed to meet all 1917 requirements and I IH jj with the present threatened shortage of sugar It is the patriotic duty of I IH both sugar factories and farmers to plant to sugar beets every acre for I IH I which seed is available. I H ' Factories which are supplied with seed In excess of their normal I IH f requirements for 1917 planting are earnestly requested not to con- I IH f serve their seed for next year's planting, but to plant every acre pos- I H j; siblo this year and farmers in the beet-sugar districts are urged to I IH i extend their plantings of sugar beets. IH i If each of the 65,000 American farmers already engaged in sugar- I . H beet culture would plant but one additional acre of beets, the addi- H JH tional 65,000 acres so planted would provide an extra 170,000,000 pounds I of sugar or nearly two pounds per capita, which would materially aid I H in supplying the extra demand for sugar for war purposes and it also I H would help to stabilize the price of sugar. H H Farmers removed from the sugar districts should strain every ef- I H fort to increase their acreage of cereals, but in the sugar districts they 'll $ should plant as many acres to beets as possible, not only because of i the extra needs for sugar, but because the human energy supplied from H L; the sugar produced from an acre of beets Is nearly five times as great M $ as the energy to be derived from an acre of wheat The human energy, or power to do work, which Is supplied by a pound of sugar amounts to 1814 calories, of a pound of roller wheat Hl i flour, 1603 calories. An aero of land yielding fifteen bushels of wheat, ll i? will furnish 619 pounds of patent flour, which will furnish 992,257 cal- H i ories with which to create and maintain human energy. An acre of ! ground yielding ten tons of sugar beets will produce 2630 pounds of ,i granulated sugar which will furnish 4,770,820 calories or nearly five I times tho energy which can be secured from an acre planted to our H IM f best cereal. Thus the sugar factory managements should stimulato I , 'j increased plantings and farmers within reach of sugar factories should H 'IH ;J increase their beet acreage in preference to all other crops.
