You cannot make it rain to wet the soil from above, but you can accomplish a similar result by working the top soil and letting the rain come ” r below, it is really better to catch the rain for crops from below t-.ian from a’,ve. The deep roots of the growing crops are the organs of the plants which need the water most - E. M. WAGNER. — - Eccts and Vvecds. The evil resulting trom the growth of weeds in a sugar beet crop, are to a degree there: Weeds tend to rob the so 1 ' of its plant food that ol I ’- ight wct.id belong to the sugar beet, j Th? .ertility in the soil may be deriv-1 • ed from both natural and artificial conditions—for natural as produced by the decomposition o’ organic and inorganic material in the soil—from artificial as that effected by man. in the shape of green manuring, appbeattOia cf barn yard manure and commercial fertilizers. Weeds tend to gmorher the nseud and thereby reduce the yield of > tbatt cron. Patches of weeds often ’.sp-ah up a field for systematic schemes of rotation and quite -Teq"s>T>:'v make the work ’’ncomforia le and unprofitable. It is thought by some that where the weeds are de- . strtyed unon ground, they return to it whatever they have rakon out and therefore cannot leave the soil poorer. However, we must remember that whatever moisture is removed, is an entire loss, because it is carried away by the winds. The available plant! food in the soil, such as potash, phos-, phoric acid and the nitrates, is largely I a-rn-n.-n Cron the weeds and is converted into dry matter in the tissues of the weed and in so doing, it locks up the food originally available and renders it useless for the growth of plants during that year. In this form plant food originally available is a positive loss fcr food of other plants as :.s- as this season is concerned. It | will again return to available food form when the weeds become thcr ' oughly decayed. In order that best results may be obtained in the growing of sugar beets ; it is the duey of every grower to keep i fe’ 3 Clear of weeds. It is best to cultivate the field intended for the growing l of beets before planting, so as to give the weed seeds an oppor- * tunity to germinate. Later, when the j sugar beet seed has been planted and it has started to grow much attention should be given it. Above all the weeds should be kept out persistent-

ly. After the weed plant has once established itself in the field, it will be irreparable injury to the sugar beet plant and the entire crop. Careful, timely, close and thorough cultivation during the early stages of the growth of the sugar beet crop, is by far better than several cultivations later in the season and no matter how well the work may be done. Sugar beet growers do not frequently realize the wonderful development of the root system in the sugar beet, when it is from 120 to 130 days old from the time the seed has been planted. On careful examination of the beet root at that time in the field and in the soil, it will be seen that the tap-root extends almost perpendicularly into the ground. The lower part being quite small and threadlike and reaching a depth of more than three feet. The lateral roots start about four or five inches from the surface down with but little root development in the upper six inches of soil. It will be noted that the greatest amount of branching and fibrous growth of beet roots takes place in the space between seven and twelve inches in depth. Here then the query is solved, why it is necessary to subsoil for sugar beets. If the soil is loose at the lower depth, it stands to reason and it is justly so, that better feeding roots and rootlets, and more symmetrical development of the main beet root In the sub-soiled pTivimnment will result. Since the principal sugar beet lie deep, the Crop < a.pforo wip admit of comparatively I deep cultivation. It is a well known fact that the form and content of the sugar beet, bear a close relation to each other. The attraction of water primarily leads th° i root to push itself forward into strata I containing sufficient moisture. The I of the plant seeks plant food, is in the direction of least resistance, and in that direction the roots will grow and develop. Likewise, the attraction of the earth as well as that of light affects the extension of the roots points down deeper into the soil. A crooked, poorly shaped beet root will produce poorer yield and usually will be of poorer quality. Misshapen roots lack the ability to reach down into the deeper strata of the soil. Stcny, hard and lumpy conditions of the soil, high reaching, underground ■ levels, uneven distribution of fertilizers, all these have a tendency to drive the beet root from penetrating straight downward. In such cases " ■ si i > roots largely perform the function of the main root and the srop will be proportionately small. —o • 1 TASTE* SMELL AND HEARING RESTORED.
