FOR THE LATEST IN TASTY FOOD PREPARATIONS K. O. H. LOVELOCK AREA TO PLANT BEET Tests of Sugar Beet Termed Success" LOVELOCK, March With the sugar beet growing experiment of 1938 proving successful, plans are being made for raising 1800 acres of beets in Lovelock Valley in 1939, A. J.

Reed, Pershmg county extension agent, said Wedisjsday. Spreckels Last summer the Spreckels company, California sugar refiners, leased several hundred acres in Lovelock Valley for experimental work in growing sugar beets Two wilt-tolerant varieties of seed were developed by U. S. Department of Agriculture plant breeders and were used in the experiment. An old strain of non-tolerant sugar beet seed was planted between the rows of the tolerant varieties and resulted in a very poor crop, Reed said The tolerant breeds proved immune to the disease known as "curly top" or wilt, effective up to 90 per cent.

"We have been told by officials of the Spreckels company that they are highly pleased with results obtained at Lovelock in 1938," Reed said, "and the definite acreage for Lovelock in 1939 will be around 1800 acres." Profit Shown A total of 491.5 acres was harvested in 1938, averaging a yield of 12 9 tons an acre. Beets raised this experiment ran slightly more than 17 per cent sugar content, a figure that is one to three per cent above the average sugar content of, beets raised elsewhere. The reported cost of production, Reed said, was $65 an acre, the gross income $105 an acre, giving a gross profit of $40 an acre. POWERS TO HOLD MEETS (Continued from Page 1) tionary force at the moment a conflict breaks out. Britain believes, however, that Poland may be brought into the "stop Hitler" bloc by means of general British financial aid to Warsaw, enabling expansion of Polish armaments.

Similar financial aid is in prospect for Rumania. Europe's tense developments of the past twenty-four hours were highlighted by: 1--France appeared to be attempting a three-point compromise with Premier Benitp Mussolini on his "natural aspiration" demands in the Mediterranean after receiving a tip that II Duce is amenable to settle the dispute without going to war. 2--Hitler, before sailing for Memel aboard his battleship Deutschland to annex formally Baltic territory to his expanding Reich, was said to have laid down a program for striking back at the "stop Hitler" drive in a personal message to Mussolini. 3--Oliver Stanley, president of the British board of trade, announced that Britain rejected all prospects of achieving a trade agreement with Hitler as result of "the political developments of the past few days." 4--Nazi Economic Minister Wal- ttier Funk, in a Bavarian speech, irtimated that Germany was preparing reprisals against the United States' 25 per cent penalty tariff on German imports and the economic reprisals of other anti- Nazi powers. 5--The German and Lithuanian foreign ministers signed a treaty in Berlin, sealing Lithuania's surrender of Memelland and providing for (1) Lithuania's neutrality and security against any Nazi invasion; (2) a free port for Lithuania at Memel, and (3) Lithuania's promise never to support any third power attacking Germany.

6--Anti-German feeling rose in Rumania as a German trade mission strug to bring King government into agreement on German demands for economic rights giving the Reich a large share of Rumania's oil and agricultural output. Anti-German feeling also increased in Poland, where anti-air raid maneuvers start Thursday "to accustom the population to war conditions."
