SUGAR BEET INDUSTRY
No Distinct Types of Commercial
Plant in This Country.
Squally Wide Variations May Be
Found in Fields So-Called Strains
Are Badly Mixed In Process
of Production.
(By C. O. TOW.NS12ND.)
It Is a startling fact that there nro
In this country no distinct typos of
commercial sugar beets. In any com
mercial sugar-beet field from Michigan
to California, without regard to the
name of the so-called variety, can be
found from 0 to 20 or more distinct
types of beets. Their distinctions' may
bo based upon shape, texture, habit of
growth, color, and other characters
of the leaf, us well as upon shape,
texture, quality, etc., of the root. In
fact, scarcely two beets growing side
by side in the sume field havo closely
ireluted external characters of leaf or
root, and the quality of the roots
varies In both sugar and purity.
Equally wide variations may bo
found in the beet-seed fields, especial
ly with reference to habit of growth
nnd yield of seed. It would appear,
therefore, that these so-called strains
aro badly mixed In the process t)f
growth aud production or that many
strains or varieties are mixed before
the seed is sacked. It would seem,
however, from the large number of
wide variations In the Individual beets
produced from commercial seed that
the mixed strains or vnrletles appear
ing In commercial fields nre due more
to the method of growth than to arti
ficial mixing. It may be and probably
iOne of Widely Varying Types of Sugar
Beets Found In Commercial Fields.
'Is necessary to have mixed strains,
or crosses, in order to combine In one
plant nil the desirable qualities of
weight, sugar, and purity. It would
seem, however, that little progress
can be made In the development of
desirable strains of beets until the
present mixed varieties are separated
Into their component' strnlns and the
desirable strains recomblned In their
proper relation. It Is no more rea
sonable to suppose that such a mix
ture of the present types of sugar
beets will glvq the best results In
yield nnd quality of roots than It Is to
nssumo that the highest results In
live stock production enn be reached
with mixed breeds of animals.
WILD .MUSTARD IS NUISANCE
Disappears When Rotation With Grass
or Cultivated Crops Is -Used
Pull Scattering Plants.
(By ANDREW BOSS, Agriculturist, Uni
versity Farm, St. Paul.)
Wild mustard Is most common In
fields that are devoted to grain grow
ing nnd disappears when a rotation
with grass or cultivated crops ,1s used,
If scattering plants appear In the
grain, they should be pulled by hnnd.
If the field Is badly Infested the plnnts
may be sprayed while In blossom with
a solution of sulphate of iron, In the
proportion of from 75 to 100 pounds
of Iron sulphate to 50 gallons of wa
ter. After the grain Is harvested the land
should be worked up with a disk or
spring-tooth harrow to cover tho seed
and Induce germlnntlon. Some of the
plants can be destroyed by Jnte fall
plowing. Early cultivation before seed
ing In the spring will destroy more of
them. If the field Is still badly In
fested the treatment should bo re
peated. POISON SPRAYS IN ORCHARDS
Live Stock Should Not Be Allowed to
Pasture There Until After One or
Two Heavy Rains.
When tho trees In the orchP"l are
sprayed there Is ncnrl always enough
of the solution falling; off the leaves to
poison the grass underneath the trees.
The orchard should not be pastured
with live stock after It In sprayed until
after one or two heavy ruins, r'heep
and calves are very easily poisoned.
SPRAY MIXTURE OF ARSENIC
Solution Should Be Handled With
Greatest of Care, or Serious
Results May Follow.
Sprny mixtures aro composed large
ly of arsenic nnd Its compounds and
should he handled with the greatest
are or fntnl results .dll follow. Paris
rreen, ursengto of lend, bordeaux mix-
are, copper solution nnd hellebore are
ill poisonous to animal life.
PROPER HANDLING Oh CREAM;
There Are Some Mechanical Features
Which Make It Difficult to Make
Correct Test
There should be no difference In the
butterfat In testing the same cream
when sweet and when sour. There
aro some mechanical features of test
ing, however, which mako It more dif
ficult to obtain n correct test of sout
cream than of sweet. But propel
handling of the sample of cream will
avoid any errors that may occur from
these things.
One (lllllculty In making n correct
test of sour crenm Is that of getting u
representative sample. The sourlnp
of the cream tends to distribute but
terfat unevenly through the can oi
other contnlner and It also become
more or less curdy and lumpy. TIhs
lumps must bo broken up and tin
butterfat evenly distributed before p
representative sample of cream foi
testing can bo made. A good way tc
mix the cream Is to pour It from on
container to another several times oi
to use u wooden ladle made cspeelnllji
for the purpose.
Moro care must ho taken wltl
soured crenm to got all of the solid!
not fat dissolved by the acid when the
latter Is added. If they are not nil
dissolved, portions will be likely t(
become mixed with the butterfat Ir
the neck of the bottlo and mnke tin
fat reading too large.
There are other mechnnlcnl dllll
cultles In testing sour crenm, whlcl
mnkes the process moro difficult thai
with sweet cream. All can be nvoldot
If care Is used.
WORMS MAKE EARTH FERTILE
Great Promoters of Vegetation by Bor

The part performed by worms In ren

Worms nre great promoters of vege

CONTROL BIG TOMATO WORM
Only Satisfactory Method Is to Hand
Pick Them Arsenate of Lead
Sometimes Successful.
Tho only satisfactory method of
controlling tho large tomato worms
Is to hand-pick them. Poisoning with
arsenate of lend Is sometimes suc
cessful, but after the worm ha?
reached a fair size, It Is difficult to
get enough poison on to materially of
feet tho worms.
If you desire to control the worms
by sprnylng, it will be necessary to
keep the plnnts well covered with
poison, starting quite early in the sen
son. About three pounds of nrsennte
of lend to 50 gallons of water, with
bordeaux mixture made at tho rate
of four pounds of copper sulphate to
six pounds of lime is n very good sprny
for tho control of tomato insects nnd
diseases.
INCREASING YIELD OF CROPS

There Is no better wny to incrense
