SCGAR BEET CULTIVATION ,

The sugar beet ( beta saccharlfora ) Is a
blcnnal plant , with tapering roots , which is
used for the manufacturing of sugar , after
its llrst year of vegetation In all boot grow
ing parts of Europe beets arc cultivated In
the same soil only once in three years. They
follow generally a crop of wheat. Following
nro some ndvfcos and suggestions to beet
raisers :
A largo part of success in raising boots depends
pends upon the way that soil has been pre
pared. In Trance and Ciurmany , land designed -
signed for cultivating this plant. Is ploughed
In the fall , as soon as the preceding crop Is
removed. The depth of this fall ploughing
is variable , according to soil or localities. A
twelve-Inch deep ploughing constitutes an
excellent one.
If farm or stable manure Is to bo used as
fertili/or , It should be a little stmwy , and as
much decomposed as possible , and be coveted
by this llrst ploughing. The land is left in
this state during the whole winter , and iu
the spilng , as soon as the frost is over , it Is
ploughed again , but nnlv at a depth of about
six to clgl.t Inches. Then , before sowing ,
the soil is l.ainjwed in several wins , Icngtli-
wise , cio-swi , e , and sometimes diagonally ,
this leaving a soft , nerfecllj levelled seed
bed and Insuring a legular sprouting.
The sugar beet is one of the improved
plants , that by carelessness in culti
vation retuiMS the quicker to the
original from which It proceeds.
It Is only by special care , and after a long
number of years that one Is enabled to produce -
duce ilch beet seed , being guided by scion-
tlllcal notions ami chemical analysis , in the
selection of "mother beets" of superior qual
ities nntl ik-bnoss. Three or four years of in
experienced , or neglected cultivation are suf
ficient to ruin tin1 i ichest varletj of sugar
beets , and to make it letio.'rade , to the largo
forage variety , which is entitely unfitted for
the inannfiu-tuio of sugar , containing only " >
or ii per cent of siu-channo matter. 'I'll n-e-
fore , it Is easy to under * tnnd Unit treed ciro
should bo given In the selection of the vani
ties to sow. In Kmopo all the seed is sup
plied to the factoiies , bj special llrms , and
sold onlv to the fanners bv the sugar nranu-
lacturers themselves.
Some interesting figures and f.'cts about
boot seed. ( Jootl .seed has to iprotit in the
proportion of Ml per cent and to furnljh at
lea it 150 germs per hundred seeds.
This year the trials of beet seed m xdo at
the chemical laboialorj of the Oxnnrd beet
sugar company in ( Irand Island have given
superior results , some varieties showing as
inuc-li as ! ( * per cent sprouted seeds and giv
ing 2T. > germs per hundred seeds.
'The tlmo for sowing depends on climatic
conditions. Iwxpcnenco has demonstrated
that the most propitious lime is when the
soil shows a tomperatuie of nbout t.'i to . 'id
degrees Faienheit. This means for the state
of Nebraska the last Dart of April and month
of Mav.
Seeds are sown in rows from sixteen to
eighteen inches apait A horse drill is generally -
orally used , sowing from three to four rows
at ome , the above stated distance enabling
one to woik the beets by means of n horse
cultivator.
In Ijiirope , as soon as the rows of bcots ate
visible the Held is cleaned. This lirst culti
vation is done generally by hand , and has a
ttlplo advantage ; it destrovs weeds , kills or
drives away inscctilo enemies , and , by airing
the roots , insures to the little plantaiapld
growth.
As soon as the beets show four leaves , they
should bo thinned out and left from six to
eight inches up irU If boots are not thinned
out in proper time , they suffer \ory much ,
and if neglected , are disposed to remain
small , or to ciow above tlio ground , giving
beets containing a small percentage of sugar.
Nothing has inoro ellect on tlio yields , both
in sugar and tonnage , than thn closeness of
the beets , Kxperienco shows that there
should bo left from eight to-ton boots per
square yard.
When tlio weeds sprout anew the boots are
cultivated with n horso-hoo cultivator. The
spaces between beets , in the rows , arc cleaned
by hand boo. Sometimes a thltd hoeing is
necoisarv.
In the middle of July , when the leaves
cover the giound , it is useless and oven dan
gerous to cultivate bents. Cleaning must bo
done before this time , because the breaking
of the leaves is most Injurious to the sae-
chnrinn quality of the beets.
It is interesting to state that the sugar con
tained in the sugar bcet-s is drawn troin the
air by the loaves during sunny days ; that It
exists llrst as .starch and is absorbed by the
roots during the nights. Science has not yet
been able to tell what chemical reaction then
takes place and changes the starch into erys-
talll/ablo siiL'nr.
Sutar bcots mature generally in this coun
try towards the middle of September. The
leaves , of a deopgreen , turn jellow at that
ilrne , and those close to the ground drv up.
Thecnoinlcal analyses show then the high
est percentage of sugar and a puilty of
eighty and over.
Pulling beets is done uy special implements
called beet pullers , beet lifters , moved by
'
horse power , and digging from one to tbio'o
rows at once They are cleaned and topped
with a special knife , bj catting the tops nIT
straight underneath the place where the first
leaves appeared. These tons are unfitted for
suuar manufacture , containing but lltllo
sugar and much salts and orpauio matter.
They constitute an excellent fodder for cat
tle.
tle.Tho
The beets are then placed In small plies
and covered with the loaves in order to pro
tect them troni the action of the sun by duy
and piovent them from freezing during the
nU'lit. They nro then , when wanted , de
livered nt the factory
In thu French boot growing region the
average yield , us shown by olllcial state
ments , is twenty tons per acre ; in certain portions
tions , in I ho north for instance , the .violas
are as high as twonty-oight to thirty tons.
i\piM-lnn-ntal :
It Is necessary for the success of any fao
tory to hnv" a full supply of boots , says the
Heel Sugar Enterprise. Ills also anticipated
that they will bo grown by the farmers , that
their knowledge should bo full and complete ,
not only In regard to the selection of grounds
best stilted , but also of the method of plowIng -
Ing and afterwards prop-iring It , together
with a knowledge nt the distance apart in the
row that the beets should bo planted as
well as the distance the rows should bo
apart according to the fertility of the soil.
Again as the difference of humidity in the
soil is supposed to bo very dlttcront one
year with another , no rule for depth of plant
ing can bo given. For instance , I f moist
earth is found within oiiu-lialf inch of the
surface , a distance of a little inoro than one-
half Inch In planting would bo all that is re
quired , whereas If drv earth Is found on tlio
surface to the depth of one Inch it would bo
necessary to plant the seed at n greater
depth than one inch to insure its being do-
pooiied lu moist earth necessary to Insure
germinating The best results can bo ob
tained from land that has been well culti
vated and has boon kept clean from
weeds , thus loisoning the amount of
labor In Ueenlni' the beets clean
from weeds , whie ) to produce beets rich in
sugar is absolutely necessary. The land
should bo plowed In thu fall , and two plow-
ings are recommended bv tlio best authori
ties on this subject , the lint plowing to bo
shallow and done early in the full , in Auirust ,
if possible. Thu ground should then bo thor
oughly harrowed lu order to break up nny
'
lumps that might be in the soil. The tlrs'l
and early plowing U douu for two reasons
unu to pulvcrl/o the surface soil and the
other to allow the weeds to grow , and to
destroy them by the second plowing , thai
should bo dona to tno depth of twelve 01
llftecn Inches late In the fall , ( iround tha
is prepared in this way will very materially
lessen thu labor in cultivating the boots the
following year.
In view of securing a factory at any place ,
Judging tha matter from purclv a business
standpoint with thu end in view that the
factory shall be a success from the llrst , and
nil partlos that uro Interested In It , especially
the beet growers , wo would most earnestly
recommend that small experimental plots bo
grown by as inniiv farmers as could bo In
duced to do .so the coming season , These
ploto might bo ono , two , four , or nay other
number of rods .square , oven tip to 0110 acre ,
but In any event , In order that as much knowl
edge can tu ) gained as possible from thcso
experiments , a full account , or record should
bo kept bv each Individual grower , noting
llrst thn kind of land selected , at whnt depth
and when plowed , wnat the crop of the pre
vious year had been ; also whether fertilisers
had been applied during the past year ; if so ,
what kind This record should give the date
of planting , the distance between the rows ,
the average distance the bcots wcro apart In
the row , tlio manner niul data of each suc
ceeding cultivation of the beets , whether
hoed or plowed. When the beets nro ripe iu
lira fall they should bo properly dug and
topped and weighed In order to compute ,
the tonnage per acre. Selections of bcots
should have been made from different parts
of the field before harvesting for the purpose
of analysis. If a largo number of farmers
should so experiment the coming season mid
note carefully as suggested the entire pro
cedure from llrst to last and then have all
these several repot ts compiled and published ,
additional Inlonnatlon would then bo gained
bv the comimrlsou of the different methods
which would undoubtedly have been pursued
as well as different kinds of giound that
would have been selected , thus showing
which ground is best adaptedto ] beet vulture.
In our opinion the greatest point of nd-
vnntago is a knowledge of the method of
cultivation as well as a basis upon which to
estimate thn cost of It. The fanners should
llrst know how to raise rich bocts as this is of
the greatest Importance to the factory as
well as to himself , as beets rich In sugar
Justly command a higher price per ton than
bui'ts having a lower percentage of sugar.
Facts of this kind must bo known before
men with capital will engage In the erection
and eqnlpiMgo of a beet sugar fur-lory If
this sleu is generally taken up by the farm
ers they will be In a position to enable them
to m.iko an int"lligent contract for the deliv
ery to the factory of the product of n certain
number of acres of giound at a stipulated
price per ton. The experiment then proves
of double utility and can bo made to form a
statement of facts that can bo presented to
nny one who might bo considering the pro
priety of erecting a factory , or to oibors who
might be solicited to do so.

PANTS
\Yell , what's the use
talking about prices.
We might say 50c
for the best pair in
the house and it
would make no dif
ference to the paper
it is printed. We've
started a sale on $3
pants. That's what \\c
want to say , and if you arc

This is the 100 center.
We just got 'em in.
This is the 95 center. About
a week's supply of 'em on hand.
Of course you'll understand that we are in
Rome and must do as Romans do , and that ,
as is claimed through the newspapers by
some competitors that they are perfectan-
gels , only you can't see their wings , and that
they are sacrificing their lives and entire
profit just to please the good people.
Excuse Us , WB are Hot In It That
Way ,
We are underselling all competitors , and
making money at it , and that's what we've
heen here for for the lastSS years. "With that
amount of experience and no store rent to pay ,
we ought to be able to do what wo claim ,
without much headwork , or quit.
The clothes we sell you give you a good front
and don't go back on your back. As regards
your sides they look all right on the right and
you never get left on the left. They are bar
gains all around. Our customers will sub
stantiate what we say. Respectfully ,
