CULTIVATION OF BEETs. -The subject
of beet culture is attracting some atten-
ton, as may be perceived by the follow
ing letter from a wealthy farmer near
Philadelphia, who writes as follows
II have imported seven tons of Ger
man seed with part of the necessary ma
chinery and have contracted for enough
more Of the latter in this country to COM
plete the outfit of a siXty-ton house G. e.,
one consuming sixty tons of beets per day.
by October next. have made arrange
ments to plant 800 acres of my own land
if necessary, but deeming it judicious to
possible as well as to try every sHitabie
variety of soil, I have offered my neigh
bors SIS per ton for beets whose juice will
Weld II per cent. This price is double
the average cost of raising the'beet as stated
in the books and WILL | think, be foundbe-
yond the actual cost, and the standard Is
based upon what raised last year. My
beet produce last year was at the rate OF
194 tons per acre, the juice testing IL 3
10. | think that beets will be raised for
me by forty different farmers (some one
half acre only and my own planting re-
duced to say 500 acres. In d few months
the thing will tell its own story. For
myself, after looking over the uniform
failuges made thus far in this century, l
ana hone the least confident of the ulti-
mate result. For some years, however,
the profits will, l think, be found IN the
steady improvement of the soil, rather
than the pocket of the owner.
