of lack or unlCormlty confronted the

There are ! ! e\'eral patterns of plows

Cut roots that stop the plow.-When

The Growing of Sugar Beets.
The sligar beet Is not very partlcu.

! lnd has a wid or range or sorvlco In
this l'egard than have the sralns. The
best son Is ono that Is rich and loamy ,
! .Jut as a general

duce beets. sons that bavo In them
so much nllmll that they will not pro.
duOQ seed crops of grain may yet produce -
duce seed crops or beets ,
l'lowlns may bo done either springer
or fall , but the ! .Jetter plan Is to plow
In the fall. On some of tbo llghtor
sons subsolUns to n depth or elshteon
Inches Is practiced. When the plow.
Ins Is done in the sprlns it should
bo just ! .Jefore planting that the soil
may lIe fresh and moist for the 1'0.

Is In"oguo In some parts or the coun.

satisfactory results In others. At the

The tlmo to plant Is ns early as the
land can be well fitted and the dan.
ger oC heavy Crest Is passod. It Is
geMrally conceded tbat early pll1ntlng
gIves tile largest crops. When the
son Is In good condition tbe seed may
be planted to a depth of from one
Inch to an Inch and n halt. It Is not
advlsablo to plant any deeper than
this. Ir the son Is very wet the seed
should be planted still nenrer the sur.
face or the sround.
'l'here nre two ways or planting
boels , ono In slnglo rows and one In
double rows. The single rows should
bo about 18 to 20 Inches npart. If
double rows are used the usual practice -
tice Is to have the two rows of the
double row about 11 or 12 1nche
alJart and have the double rows them , I
selves from two feet to 27 Inches 1

where the beets are to ! .Je lrrlsated.I I
Ono of the difficult thlnss In beet I

after being dUS' us this decreases tbe I
amount at sugar In them. Also boete

Quit Burning Straw.
The old wasteful habit or ! .Jurnlng
all the straw on the farm Is still fol
lowed on those farms that do not have
a seed deal of stocle. Even where It
Is possible to utllfze the straw ! .J )
hauling It to the barn'ard It 1s sUI :
burned , because the owner does nol
fisuro ont that the fertlUly In th.
straw Is worth haulfns the straw tc
the barn'ard for. Ho sa's that nny
way the ash Is loft nnd there Is soml
fertlUty In that. Taldns all In all he
Is under the Impression that he Is sot
tln about I1S much out of his straw by
burning It as In any other way , un
! : : : ss ho can sell It or feed It to stocle
Dut all Investlsatlons so to show
that humus plays a much larger pari
In the matter of son vnluo than WE
thought. Bvery pound oC straw should
bo brought bacle onto the land 1n
some form. A number or cattle wm
tralllplo up a good deal of It 1r It 11
thrown Into the bllrn'nrd from time
to time. This would be especially the
case with some barnyards we have
seen and It would at the same time
greatly Improve the condition or th.
barn'ards.
G t the straw and the manure mixed

When the straw Is mixed with the ma
