The pressing need for this unusually

exceptional heavy crop of beets that is

tbe United States waa drawn from Eu
rope, 20 per cent from North America,
IS per cent from South America, 14 per
cent from Asia, Of tbe ex porta from
tbe United States In tbe tame year, 67
per cent went to Europe, 17 per cent
to North America, 4 par cent to South
America, par cent to Aaia, I per cent
to Ooeanloa and 1 per cent to Africa,

grown from $78,000,000 to $183,000,
000 in 1905.
