The seed is sown for the crop of beets roots for sugar making. These selected beets are stored in a cool place; and before the time for planting: a small core is taken out of each beet. The juice is pressed out and tested for the per centag,e of sugar and purity. All the beets teat teat over 15 per cent. or sugar aro put by themselves; and all that test above 16 per cent are put in another lot. Tbese become two sets of mother beets. These are grown under favorable conditions with plenty of room. The seed from each beet, each mother plant, is sown the following year in a separate row. The grower finds which row gives him the best, value of beets, in tot- al yield, in weight per beet, in. shape and position of growth and in per- centage of sugar and purity of juice. Out of the rows which gives the highest general average, the in- dividual beets, which stand highest in sugar contmt and purity, are chosen to beecane the mother beefs of the following year. The sugar beet growers keep up continuously the practice of having seed from the best mother plants. By that process the sugar content of the sugar beet crop has been raised frore about 7 or 8 per cent to between 11 and 16 per cent. That is the result of systema- tic, intelligent selection of the best Maras and the use of the seeds from those plants, selected out of each generation coetinnously. However; beets cross-pollinate. The pollen from one row of beets will cross with those of others. The growers adopt the plan of planting mother beets where , only the good beets .can cross-pollinate with each other. several highborn ladies who employ- ed her are subpoenaed to give evi- deuce.
