PRESS BULLETIN NO. 5.
Agricultural Experiment Station of
Nebraska.
SUGGESTIONS TO BEET GROWERS.
Ik'Ciiuso of the great Importance of thosugar
industry to this stute , the experiment station
hits undertaken the labor and expense of col
lectlngduta to ebow whether or not Nebraska
can ralso beets sufficiently rich In sugar to
make this Industry a success.
To this end wo distributed seed lust year as
widely as possible under the circumstances.
The results of this work have been already
published ns Bulletin No. 13. Agricultural Ex
periment Station.
This year there him been an almost universal
interest manifested throughout tbo state in
the subject of sugar beets. A lurgo amount
of seed has been distributed witii suggestions
as to the manner of cultivating , etc. Many
farmers huvo nlrendy sent us specimens of
beets for analysis , together with partial re
ports of their experiments during the season.
Again lot me urge upon even one who lias ex
perimented in beet raising this year to com
plete his work by sending to us , for analysis ,
specimens of beets , together with iisfullarec-
ord ot'-his work as possible. If you stop short
of this all of your labor , so far us furnishing
facts for the benefit of the people of the state
Is concerned , has been in vain. The analysis
costs you nothing , and this year you can send
beets at our expense. In sendlntr please re
member to attach to each beet its name , and
with each lot sent give post oflice address , in
cluding couuty.
For complete directions ate sending speci
mens , see pages 2 and 81. Bulletin 13 , copy of
which will be sent you on application , if you
have not it at band.
Already many persons throughout the stute
have expressed adesiro to continue the work
of growing experimental plats and numerous
inquiries have been received for seed and for
more information in regard to cultivation. In
answer to these the following suggestions are
made :
SECTION OF SOIL.
A good "sugar beet soil" la a deep moibt
loam that has been under cultivation for some
years and is underlaid by a porous subsoil. It
should be deep , as the rootseeek their nourish
ment at a considerable depth. It should have
a porous sub-soil that a good drainage on the
one hand and agood reservoir for moisture on
thu other , may be bad. The best localities are
those on level or slightly sloping land , protect
ed from the strong winds of earlv spring.
PREPAKATION FOH PLANTING
should be made this autumn by plowing as
deep as possible ( twelve to fourteen inches ) .
If shallow plowing has heretofore been the
rule , deep cultivation should be reached grad
ually by plowing two or three inches deeper
until the proper depth has been reached. In
the spring plow again thoroughly , pulverize
the soil and plank or roll it. Measure exactly
the ground to be sown ( say a space ten feet
square for each variety of seed ) ; this is abso
lutely necessary in order to estimate accurate
ly the yield.
THE TIME OF PLANTING
is important and should be governed largely
by the temperature ( or the temperature of the
soil ) is from 48 to 50 degrees , F. ; usually from
the middle of April to the first of May. The
seed should be planted in rows fiom fifteen tote
to eighteen inches apart , and covered to a
depth of from three-fourths of an inch to an
inch. After seeding , roll the plats to keep the
seed from being uncovered by the wind. When
the young plants appear the ground should
be hoed to prevent drying out and to keep the
weeds down. When the plants have reached
the fourth leaf , thin to a distance of from six
to eight inches apart according as the soil is
rich or poor. Hoeirequently until the leaves
cover the ground.
Ihe ExperimentStation will furnish seedfor
experimental planting , of the best varieties ,
to all persons applying for same and enclosing-
two cent stamp to pay return postage on seed.
Werequirefurther that each person taking
seed for the season of 1891 shall agree to send
samples of beets to the station for analysis
without cost to us. We will make the analysis ,
collect information , publish results and f urn
ish each correspondent with a copy of the
bulletin free. HUDSON H. NICHOLSON ,
Director of the Station.

You work in all weather. Yea want an "all-
weather" coat. In fact , the best waterproof coat
in the world. No frail rubber affair that will
rip before the week is out. Rubber costs more ,
and lasts but a short time. Four teamsters out of
five wear the "Fish Brand" waterproof clothing.
They _ are the only teamsters' waterproof coats that
are light , strong , durable , and cheap. They cert
very little , and last a long time. They never get
Eticky or peel off. The buttons are wire-fastened"
and never come off. They are absolutely water
proof and wind-proof. Until you _ own on e ycm will
never know the comfort of a rainy day. Beware of
worthless imitations , every garment stamped with
the "Fish Brand" Trade Mark. Don't accept
any inferior coat when you can have the " Fish
Brand Slicker " delivered without extra cost. Par
ticulars and illustrated catalogue free.
