Sugar, as far as the can ascertain was first used in 'Thelia.

A century of research • 'forms the het kg -rowel of the modern sugar beet industay, 'but there is still much to learn regarding this •odd vege'ta'ble. No short cut exists to .the 'knowledge of, nor is there any general formula which may be applied to, 'the w'ide'ly diversified soils and •condition's en- countered in the culture of the !beet, Each district presents its own prob- lems, some of which might be com- mon to a lenge area, others localized in a relatively small acreage. To aid in the soluti'o'n of these prob- lems, the Canada and Dominion Sugar Company maintains an agricultural re- search ,department for the purpose of aiding contract growers to obtain greater yields from their •su'gar beet field's. Lines sof research include the determination of the most suitable fertilizer mixtures, the testing of soils, the study of 'causes and •cotttro'l of dis- ease and insect ,pests, the testing and study of beet seed strains and germ- ination analysis of seed distributed to growers, trial and study of crop rota- tion, experiments in new culture me- thods, detailed analysis of beet .crop results over the ,area, and the planning and management of contests among the tgrowers. The major portion of sugar ',beet used in Canada at the present time .is imported from Europe, ib,ut the re- search department of the •company is constantly conducting experiments in growing the 'aptly -named "mother beets," and is :producing sufficient seed to indicate that a shortage through interruption of 'European stip- ply could be considerably offset. Seed of excellent duality Is produced' in Ca- nada, anti, after a fete generations of growth. becomes well adapted to cli- matic conditions and is superior in many trays to imported seed. To produce beet seed it is necessary to grow 'beets for one season, letting them lire over the winter and develop seed stalks en their second year. The beet is a 'biennial .plant, growing leaves and a root system the first year, thea resting and •producing up- right stalls with flowers and seeds in its second season., Because, in Ontario, frost kills most of the beets left in the ground over winter, the practice is to "lift" and store them in pits during the frosts and replace them in the 'fields in the spring. Smaller beets, known as "steoklings," are ,grawn by 'plant- ing'Nhe seed later in the season or leaving the !beets 'unthinned, so that the size is reduced 'by cron'ding. 'Beet seed planted in late lune has produc- ed excellent steuldings in the Chat- ham area. These have been 'harvested, pitted and replaced in April, produc- ing yields as high as 1,600 pounds per acre. Experiments have been 'conducted near the fertilizer plant of Canadian industries Limited at Chatham in "over -wintering” of stecklings. Dur - eel. the winter of 19315-316 nearly an acre of steckiings were kept planted in e sheltered area. These produced a 'fine grade of seed, with almost 1,200 pounds per acre. Other experiments, however, in over -win tering have not been too successful; but it is obvious that if this can 'be developed profitably the cost of production of beet seed could be considerably lowered. Thee experiments are tbeing con - tinned, despite their relative failure on a commercial scale up to the present. Indeed. the business of sugar beet production, .from the planting of the seed to the final stage of transform- ing the juice into Inc white crystals, is one which bas been hunt up 'by just such experiment; and that it has been a 'high'ly scientific venture and is now an undoubted connmerciel successis something for which many Canadians have good reason to thank Napoleon.
