is the beet Kleinwanzlebener, which at
the present time has probably wider
cultivation than any other sugar beet.
The general character Of this beet is
shown by Fig. 2. This beet has a con-
ical root, straight and even. quite large
at the head and rapidly tapering. 1t is
distinguished from the Improved VIII
morin by its bright color and its lighter
colored leaves. Coming from cross in
which the Improved Vilmorin entered
largely, the Observation-Disclosures is today
q fixed variety and is equally we'll lpro-
duced in France and Germany. It,suc-
oeeds in soil of an alluvial nature and
average richness and on level plateaus.
In soils very rich In humus it ripens
poorly and loses much of its richness
Like the Vilmorin Improved, toward
the end Of vegetation it's leaves are COM
pletely spread. In those conditions OF
culture where the Improved Vilmorin
gives from 10 to 16 tons per acre, the
Kleinwanzlebener gives from Ia to 18
tons. 1t is, however, generally inferior
to the Vilmorin Improved in saccharin
richness, which the whittier and more
watery appearance of it's flesh would
make known at first view. Nevertheless,
from 19 to Is per cent Of sugar can be
obtained in the beet in field culture.

FOREST FIRES in MINNESOTA.
The report Of Chief Fire War

The report OF Chlef flre war

he has.just issued, contains some in.
terestiug information. '"The more
the people Of this state" says the
chief warden, ''become informed
in regard to forestry, and espe.
cially when they see how much
it has contributed to the wealth
and prosperity of the countries
which have practiced it, the
easier and cheaper it will be to
enforce our fore st1y preservation

know that there are countries in
which the forests continually
yield net annual income Of from
SO to "a an acre their interests in
the SUBJECT will be much quick.
ened and they will lend their in.
fluence to uphold and enforce our
forest preservation act" In
order to give them an idea of the
benefits and profits OF forestry,
the chief warden has procured
from the most authentic sources
accounts of forest administration
in several European countries.
The damage done by forest fires
in Minnesota last year, according
to this report, was very light.
The number of forest fires re.
ported was 81, and the number of
acres burned over, mostly light
timber and meadow, 1892. The
damage done amounted to $16,059.
Greater damage was done by prai.
RE fires, the aggregate amount Of
damage from prairie fires reported
being $21, ,7Ss. The report states
that the main work for the fire
warden law is to make people more
careful about causing fires, and
and more thankful of the benefit
to the public and individuals Of
forestry resources. There are sew.
eral million acres in detached
areas in the state only fit for grow.

A Useful IneeCtlCido,

Professor Smith, in bulletin from
the New Jersey station, tells that mel
on growers are using the bisulphide to
destroy the melon louise. BY keeping
close watch Of the field they are able to
detect the hills on which the lice begin
their work. A light, tight cover Of
cloth or paper is put over the hill, and
under it is placed in small dish tea
spoonful or more Of the bisulphide. In
about an hour this will kill every louise
under the cover. By taking the infested
hills in time the lice may be kept out
of the field. It is known, too. that the
bisulphide may be injected into the soil
to kill the cabbage root maggot. It is
q useful insecticide, but should be
handled as carefully as gunpowder.
