HOW rr WORKED IN OHIO. P*vMte>g Show* How Sugar Baet C«H*ro laoraaaad Prosperity. TTmA tba aatabUfcliiuent of the sugar toMt Lnduetry in Ohio will result in an liMToaa* of $20,000,000 tn the value of farm land* in the state by the and of the present year 1* tha statement of C. H. Alien, a banker of Paulding. O. “Ohio nod Indiana should become as great producers of sugar as Michigan," said Mr. Allen, “and they will unless hostile legislation by congress inter seres with the natural development of this Industry. In Paulding county alone, although the beet sugar factory here has l>een tn operation only twe j years, the value of farm property has Increased $5,000,000 as a result of the introduction of sugar beet culture. An other result has been the investment of $.’>,000,000 or more in other beet sugat factories in this section of the state within the past year, which in turn will vastly increase the value of the farm luud surrounding them, adding s2o,<X<o,ooo or more to the agricultural wealth of this region. “Aside from the direct financial re turns that have followed the establishment of the sugar beet industry lu Ohio, there are numerous other benefits which, though not so direct, are no | less important To obtain good results from beet culture farmers have found | it necessary to put more hand labor on the land. The result is that thou- j sands of men. women and children are being taken from the overcrowded sections of the cities of the state and set to work on the land, a back to i the farm movement that is of real practical value. “This increased tillage of the soli is the very best- -and. In fact, the only effective—means of overcoming the weeds that are the chronic enemies of the farmer, choking his crops and exhausting his soil. Besides all this, we have found that every other crop raised upon land that has been put into sugar beets shows a greatly increased yield. “Upon a piece of land that had been in beets the previous season I myself raised seventy bushels of oat’ to the ’ acre, while across the fence one of my neighbors, on exactly the same kind of land, got a yield of not quite fifty. Last , year on another piece of land that had ( been used for sugar beets I grew fifty bushels of wheat to the acre where the ordinary crop is between twenty-two 1 and twenty-five bushels. Farmers have i learned so well that sugar land In- ■ cresses the yield of oats that when they are In conversation among themselves . and one reports a yield of from seventy , to ninety bushels an acre the other will reply: "You have raised it on sugar beet land. That accounts for It' 'This year there will be taken from * Ohio cities to the country to work In 1 the beet fields over 5.000 people, and • yet this Industry la only beginning In - the state. Ohio ought to have twenty--1 five beet sugar factories, and Indiana. ] equally favorably located and with land , peculiarly fitted to thia crop, should have an equal number." »

PLANT THAT IMPROVES SOIL The Sugar Beet Increases Yield of Other Crope. How sugar t*>«t3 improve the fertility of the soil and Increase the yield of all crops grown in rotation with them is explained In the National Magazine by Truman G. Palmer, who has spent the past ten years In studying agrieui tural methods in Europe and America. “The sugar beet being a deep Footer," says Mr. Palmer, "a prerequisite to its culture is that the soli be stirred to a depth of ten to fourteen Inches. The tender tieetlet having to undergo the shock of thinning soon after it eomes up In order to leave but one beet to a i place. It demands a well prej>ared, me)- I low seed bed. Gathering the sugar in i Its leaves from the atmosphere by the aid of the light and storing It up tn the roots. It will not thrive if the light Is cut off through being shaded by weeds. ! ami their eradication means not only a further stirring of the soil by cultlva- j tion and hoeing, but they are removed ' before going to seed, thus leaving weedlees fields for succeeding crops. I Being plowed out in autumn gives an [ extra fail plowing, which leaves the land In condition to absorb instead of shed the fall and winter rains and store ’ up the moisture for the following sea-1 son's crop. With the removal of the ; main root myriads of fibrous roots are . brCKen off and left in the soil to an ; average of a ton to the acre, and In rotting they not only deposit bumus In : . the lower strata of soil, but leave mi- 1 c nute channels through which it becomes aerated and hence fertile. The J roots of subsequent crops follow these interstices and draw nutriment from . two and three times the depth of soil - formerly reached, and hence the farm 1 ere double and treble their snlpoutput , without increasing their acreage." * | __ ] Beet Pulp a« Cattle Food. In summarizing the Important features of sugar beet growing in various parts of the country the Department '• of Agriculture calls attention to its peculiar Importance to the middle ; western states because of the extent 0 to which stock feeding Is followed as h an Industry In this territory. Beet r pulp-that is, what remains of the ! beet nrter the sugar has been extracted—has been proved to be the finest '• feed yet discovered for milk cows and for fattening cattle, sheep and other farm animals. This Is true whether the pn! p ls fed state as It comes from the factory or drled ' A bu « , ’ness of about $2,000,000 n year has grown up In the sale of dried beet pulp, in which form »t can be shipped to any distance.
