Thistles Brought Beets. | Ju<t as the boll weevil brought di- sified farming to the South, the Canadian thistle brought sugar beets w' the Red River Valley. Increased in-| vasion by the weed forced wheat yields | 8o low grain farming became an almost | profitless occupation. Many farmers grew discouraged. In the West the desert-bred leaf- hopper was menacing the sugar beet industry. To escape, beet farmers pushed their operations further east. Beets trickled into the Red River Val- 1év. It was too far from the desert for leafhoppers. and the beets flour- ished. In cultivating them Red River | farmers found they had a weapon | against their own pest—the tenacious and deep-rooted thistle. After beets. wheat grew better and produced more.

Today there are 102 beet sugar fac- tories in the United States, represent- ing an investment of more than $250,- | 000,000. In 1927 they turned out more | than 1,000,000 tons of sugar, valued at| £120,000,000. Approximately 800,000 acres of farmland were devoted to beet cuiture, and farmers were paid between $40,000,000 and $60,000,000 for their crop. | Discovered in 1705. | The fact that beet roots contained sugar was discovered in 1705 by Oliver de Serres, famous French agronomist, but the discovery was not exploited. German _ sclentists became interested later, aided financially by Frederick the Great _and then by Frederick Wil- liam IIL. Napoleon is credited with starting the beet sugar industry when his war with England cut off France's supply of cane sugar. The emperor sent a commission to Germany to study the manufacture and later ordered French farmers to E approxima francs from the public treasury establish factories. —_— .
