BEET-SUGAR INDUSTRY

American Seed Is Usually Superior in Germination. Soil and Climatic Conditions Favor Production of Seed In Sufficient Quantity to Meet All Future Requirements. (By C. 0. TOWNSBND.) Our experience thus far indicates that American sugar-beet seed is usually superior in germination and capable of producing larger and better roots than the Imported seed. Our soil and climatic conditions, extending over large areas, favor the production of sugar-beet seed in sufllclont quantity to meet all future requirements. Well-denned strains of sugar boots of high yield and quality are essential to the development of a satisfactory seed industry. Enough has boon done Type of Beet Found in Many Fields. to prove that by careful and painstaking work such strains can be produced. No intelligent study of cultural methods in the production of sugar beets or of problems involving a comparison of varieties can be made until uniform and fixed varieties with which to work are available. The production of strains having roots of uniform size and habit of growth and capable of yielding seed stalks uniform in habit of growth and maturity should make possible improved cultural methods, especially in the planting of the roots and in the harvesting of the seed, that will reduce greatly the cost of production. After seed harvest the beet roots and stalks remain In the ground in a sound and palatable condition for live stock feed. The present practice Is to feed these roots in the field, utilizing them as pasture. The beet-sugar industry in the United States is composed of three distinct brandies, namely, beet-seed production, sugar-beet growing, and beet-sugar extraction and refining. They are so linked that each is dependent upon the others, not only for its complete success but for its very existence. Without seed the sugarbeet industry, in which more than 70,000 American farmers are directly interested, could not exist, and without beets the S4 beet-sugar mills now standing, with an invested capital of more than $100,000,000, would be idle. The beet-sugar industry is, of course, the foundation upon which sugarbeet growing and beet-sugar extraction rests. Because of its fundamental character, it is surprising that sugar-beet seed production in this country has not received more general and more earnest attention in the past. The two primary causes that have operated against the development of the sugar-beet seed industry in this country were (1) the fact that a sufficient quantity of seed to meet our requirements was easily obtainable from European countries at a reasonable price and (2) the prevailing idea that conditions in this country, from the standpbint either of labor cost or of climate, would not permit the successful development of the seed industry in the United States. Recent experiences, however, have shown the folly of depending upon foreign countries for our beet-seed supply, while experiments extending over many years have proved the falsity of the opinion relu tlve to labor and climatic conditions. MAINTAINING PIGS ON RAPE Minnesota Station Finds It Most Valuable of Forage Crops Red Clover Also Excellent. At the Minnesota experiment station more pigs have been maintained on a given area with the pasturage of rape than any other forage crop. Red clover Is also an excellent pasture, more palatable than rape and nearly as good as alfalfa. Bluegrass is extensively used for a hog pasture and serves this purpose well until it becomes more or less dead during the late summer. Rye is sown for a late fall and early spring pasture. COW'S TAIL OF IMPORTANCE Often Measured in Judging AnimalChief Purpose Is for Brushing Flies Away. The tail is often measured in judging a cow and to meet the standard requirements should reach to, or below, the hocks and carry a göDd switch. This renders it most useful in brushing Hies, which is its chief purpose.

INJURY BY GORN-EAR WORMS

Kansas Agricultural College Finds It Possible to Control Little Pest by Spraying. Nearly all roasting ears on the market in recent years have been injured by the corn-ear worm, and those known to be free from the injury can be sold at from 5 to 10 cents more per dozen. For six years the department of entomology of the Kansas State Agricultural college and experiment station has been studying the worm and has found that a large proportion of the eggs deposited in the summer are placed on the fresh corn silks. From these eggs the worms that injure the oars originate. The young larvae begin feeding on the silks and eat their way down Into the ear. It is, therefore, possible to control much of the injury by keeping the silks sprayed during the silking period. Powdered arsenate of lead has been found to be the most elllclent poison. A 75 per cent mixture of arsenate of lead, with air-slaked lime or land plaster Is practically as good as the poison alone. The dust is shaken upon the silks from an ordinary cheesecloth bag or Hour sack. Under average weather conditions four or live applications at Intervals of three or four days are sufficient. MAKING MONEY OUT OF COWS Seven Fundamental Principles of Successful Dairying Weed Out All Poor Animals. There are ten rules for making money out of cows and they all begin with "milk good cows." To put the case in a nutshell, or rather to skim the cream from the whole matter, let Us admit that there are, say, seven fundamental principles of successful dairying, about as follows : 1. Weed out the poor cows by means of the scales and the Babcock test. 2. Feed the good cows plenty of clean, choice stuff as close to a balanced ration as possible. 3. Eliminate competition by producing a better product than the other fellow and demanding a good price for it. 4. Head the herd with a high-class, pure-bred sire. 5. Raise the promising calves from the best cows only. G. Develop a market for your surplus bull calves and other stock. 7. Feed the mind of the man behind the cow. CUTTING BLADES ON MOWERS Finger Bar Arranged in Which Alternate Cutters Rotate in Different Directions. In illustrating and describing a finger bar for mowers, invented by C. A. Johnson, 3010 Upper Stockton road, Sacramento, Cal., the Scientific American says : "This invention provides an arrangement of cutting members which correctly strike the grass or vegetable matter to be cut and without in any Finger Bar for Mowers. way interfering with the remaining parts of the device. It provides a finger bar in which the alternate cutters rotate in a different direction, the position of rotation of these cutters being such that one cutter will overlay the other cutter during the cycle of rotation though never coming in contact." PLAN TO DESTROY CUTWORMS Paris Green Mixed With Bran Is Recommended by North Dakota Station Spread in Evening. (North Dakota Agricultural College Bulletin.) Cutworms eat off the young plants at the surface of the ground, and they do this in the night. In the daytime they can usually be found buried an inch deep and only a short djstance from the last plant eaten. Plants that are transplanted can be protected by wrapping paper around the stem, covering it half an inch above and below the surface of the soil. The cutworms can be poisoned with the following: One-half po'.uid paris green mixed dry with 25 pounds bran, then add one galr Ion water and one quart molasses and mix thoroughly. The set time to spread this is in the evening, or late afternoon. GUARD ALL ALFALFA LEAVES Two-Thirds of Feeding Value of Plant Is in Leaves Rake Into Windrows Before Dry. Two-thirds of the feeding value of the alfalfa plant is in the leaves. If the leaves are lost in curing only onethird of the feeding value remains. This fact is regarded as important by farmers who advocate, that alfalfa hay be cured so as to save the leaves. This means that the alfalfa must be raked into windrows before the leaves dry and fall off. Raking can be done two I hours after cutting, thus saving the i leaves and preserving the green color I and desirable flavor.

CANT RIDE ON FAST TRAINS

Italian Soldiers Resort to Many Trick to Evade Order When Going Horn on Leave of Absence. One of the most frequent causes of arrests of soldiers of the Italian army Is not for drunken or disorderly conduct, but for violation of the order that when given leave of absence to visit their homes they shall ride on slow and not express trains. Soldiers exert all their ingenuity to evade the order. They are always In a hurry to reach their homes, after many months' absence, and as they generally reserve but a narrow margin of their leave for the return trip, they are in a hurry to arrive at their posts before it expires. SInco tho reduction of fast trains on tho railroads, as a coal-saving measure, policemen have been stationed on each fast train to prevent soldiers, who ride free, from traveling on them. Recently on the Kome-IHorenco express a policeman found a big, healthy-looking soldier who, of course, had no paid ticket. "What are you doing here?" demanded tho policeman. "I'm going home from tho hospital," answered tho soldier. "You don't look as If you had ever. seen the inside of one," tho other retorted. The soldier silently4 throw back his cape with his left hand. His entire right arm anil shoulder blade were missing. "I guess you've earned the right to ride on the expresses," said the policeman and passed on. PLATE BETTER THAN BRIDGE i Cannot Be Used by Dentists in Preparing Men for War, However, As It Is Barred by Army. "The most conscientious dentists are avoiding crowns and bridges wherever possible," said Dr. Frank S. Delano of New York, secretary of the Dentists' Preparedness association, in discussing the difficulties the 200 members of this association are having with putting the mouths of wouldbe recruits Into condition for their acceptance by the array and navy. "The navy will accept men with plates to replace teeth they have lost; the army will not, but makes no objection to men with crowns and bridges," continued Doctor Delano. "Men come to us to have their teeth put into condition, and we should like to make plates for them, but as the army recruiting officers reject men with plates, we have to put in bridges. This is unfortunate, because a bridge means the certain death before long of the two teeth to which it is anchored. "The general public ought to know this about bridgework. Many people object to a plate, but they would not if they knew they were saving money by it. After the anchor teeth die, trouble begins; very soon the teeth have to come out, and either a larger bridge or a plate is necessary. If a larger bridge be put in, it means the death of two more teeth, and ultimately you have to come to the plate." The Essentials of Gardening. The essentials for successful gardening on a small or large scale are soil, water and curtivation. Much depends also on the grower, the season and the crops selected. The soil is the storehouse of plantfood. The garden, therefore, should contain humus or rotted material in large quantities. The gardener should remember that about 50 per cent of ordinary earth is not soil at all, but consists of air and water. Water makes plantfood that is present freely soluble. Kain and snowwater are soft and contain ammonia. The magic of soft water on the plant -world is one of the miracles of good gardening, as everyone who has contrasted the effect of rain with that produced by sprinkling with a hose realizes. Plaqts are succulent and contain large amounts of water which they have to draw from the soil. Kitchen Cars Built for Troop Trains. Kitchen cars that are individually of sufficient capacity to meet the needs of a fair-sized hotel are being carried with the long troop trains operated on one of the Canadian railways between military training camps and the seaboard. They have been constructed to facilitate the dining service so that meals can be prepared for several hundred men and served without confusion or delay, says the Popular Mechanics Magazine. Each of these mobile kitchens occupies an entire car, is equipped with a 10-foot range, steam-cooking apparatus, a spacious refrigerator and other necessary paraphernalia. This is all installed on one side and inclosed by a long table extending the full length of the car. A passageway is provided between this counter and unobstructed wall, so that waiters can enter and leave the kitchen without disorganizing the work of the eight cooks and helpers. Very Human Proverbs. Replying to a toast, Chinese Consul Moy Hin said in Portland; "When I desire to make an American bettor acquainted with the Chinese I quote some of our Chinese proverbs for him. These proverbs show that we, like you, can see one another's faults and laugh at them. "Our temperance proverbs are rathj or good. There's one, 'It is not wine j that makes a man drunk ; it is the man himself.' And another, 'A red-nosed man may be a teetotaler, but nobody will believe it.' "We have a feminist proverb 'A man thinks he knows, but a woman knows better.' "
