SUGAR BETS.
How They are Grown-Yields
and Possible Crops.

We CLEAN the following facts
from bulletin ENo. 8, University
experiment station: During the
eight years the experiments have
been in progress, 1,079 samples OF
sugar beets grown in Minnesota
have been analysed, yielding an
average Of 14.04 per cent sugar.
and purity co.efficient Of 1854. y
Some of the tests have shown over
20 per cent sugar, while 10 per
cent is considered sweet enough
to pay. The station in 1892 sent
carload Of beets to the Oxnard
factory in Nebraska, where they
proved a great success. "The sugar
beet thrives best on a loan soil;
one that contains fair amount of
sand. A good corn soil is usually
good beet soil. The soils Of this
state, at present, do not require
any manuring for raising sugar
beets. There is a general ten.
dency to over.estimate the yield
per acre. While it is possible to
obtain as high as 80 or 40 tons per
acre, the average yield is more
nearly IA tons. The best time for
planting is from May 5 to June l.
The experiment station, St. An
thony, will analyze samples that
are sent in if express charges are
paid" Well drained soil rich
enough for a good corn crop and
thoroughly pulverlzed should be
used for beets. Land clear OF
weeds can be handled $40 per acre
cheaper than weedy land. Land
should be deeply plowed. For
trial plots rows should be 20 inches
apart so that all can be- compared
and twenty pounds of seed should
be sown per aero. The seed should
he covered about three-fourths OF
an inch deep. When the plants
have four leaves they should be
thlnned to about six inches in the
row. We hope the farmers OF
Minnesota will thoroughly test the
raising of sugar beets this year
and be ready to raise them for
market next year, if the expert
ments are favorable.-No rthfield

Wyman, chairman Of the COM

alton bill. The senator promptly
answered the trustees complaint,
and declared that the appropria.
tions were large enough if the
trustees used sufficient economy
along with the appropriation. He
said:
"The difference between the
appropriations granted in the bill

of trustees of the hospitals tor the

All of these issues are likely to be

Political platforms are not usually
