The beets analyzed hy the Amer ican Crystal Sugar Company were slightly higher in sugar content and purity. The American Crystal Sugar Company is constantly seeking ways to improve the tilth and yield of the western Montana beet fields. Large scale tests, using planer shavings, are now being conducted. Results of the tests showed that the ground treated with wood waste mater ially improved in tilth and mois ture holding capacity. Soil organic matter serves as food for various types of desir able micro-organisms, supplies essential elements for re-use by succeeding plants, improves the physical qualities of the soil, and dts presence aids in controlling erosion by wind and water. In 'mulch form it increases water intake, reduces water loss, low ers soil temperature, insulates the soil against quick freezes, thus protecting the worm popu lation, absorbs the energy of rain drop impact on the soil, and acts as a barrier to flowing surface waters. Wood is a cheap organic mat ter. It differs from other organic substances only in degree of its physical and chemical structure, subject to the same decomposi tion forces as hay, straw and green manure crops. Farmers using wood as a soil conditioner have found that it does not make the soil sour and acid. Exploitive agriculture is min ing the humus from our fertile fields. As the soil organic con tent decreases, croD vields de crease and soil erosion increases'. Ample supplies of wood for agricultural use are available in the forests. There is nothing more important to our welfare as a nation than ample acres of fertile, productive, erosion -proof, ed farm land. Wood can contrib ute to this need. Lumber Is $5 Million Better Every Year The American lum ber industry spends about $3 million a year on research to improve the quality of lumber, increase the efficiency of its production and develop new uses for wood.
