The preliminary reports which have been received Indicate that in many cases the effect of the fertiliz­ ers could be seen from the time ot th«- germination of the beets. In a few cases the tines separating the fer­ plots tilized from the unfertilized could be seen even at the lieKinning of the harvest. I A recent report from one of the ex- perimenters states that in his work with nitrate of soda th«' beets from the untreated plots were worth $5.20 per ton and yielded $54.35 worth of beets per acre. On the adjacent plot, where 300 pounds of nitrate of soda were applied at the time of planting, the beets were worth $5.30 per ton anil yielded $74.57, a difference of $20.23 per acre in favor of the fertil- izaticn. The untreated beets tested 14.1 per eent sugar, while those fer- tilized tested 14.4 per cent. ITobleiik. of Epkleniics. The serious epidemics which have affected the sugar beet. Ilk- the leaf spot disease of the east and the curly top of the west, have been investi­ gated. Experiments on a larg»‘ scale In different sections of the eastern beet area have shown that the leaf spot may be readily controlled by the mixture, application of Bordeaux This remedy has nou­ come Into gen- erai use. In my last report attention was called to the efforts being made in the matter of developing sugar beet seeds with single germs The »ingle- germ seed wouhi do much to diminish the labor of thinning. The bureau »cork in this field has been very sat­ isfactory Although the work has l«een running for only two seasons, «ieeideii progress has been made, and the single-germ seeds that have been selected have been found much more vigorous than the multiple-germ balls The selected strains grown this year • how a decided tendency to the pro­ duction of a larger number ot single- germ balls than the parent beet from which the selection was started, the average being about 20 per cent. In one case, over 3000 single-seed balls were found on one beet. The work this year has been conducted in Utah and other sections where the sugar l-««ei is at its best, and indicates that ultimately we shall in all probability be successful in the production of a beet having the desirable quality of producing a ball with only a »Ingle substantially save germ, that will hand thinning and avoid much ex­ pense in growing DR BEST TO PENDLETON I XU M 4 RS W IIOSl r INCOME Oreg« m Sunday «tournai Issar« (nvl- itnlili- I 'mutilili t onnt.» anil Pendlc- ton Eiiitlon—X aluabk* Statistics Collected anil Hie Xiatclile»» Xlatclile»« Re- »oun-e» of tlie Count) E»ploit««l by INirtland*» Is-nillng Daily—Should lie Sent Ea»t by Friends of I he state anil County.
