SUGAR BKErs. T.
This subject was dealt with in an
exhaustive manner By Prof. Cooke.

Try, the proper time for lplsxsing wss
thoroughly discusseds Recommends
tion was made that the time for
planting ought not to BE- later than
April 18th, that ID, the first one. Some
seed may be planted without much
danger earlier than this. When any
considerable acreage il TO be handled,
1t il of great advantage 70 plant 1t
different times. for instance. II =
farmer planted ons-third Of his crop
on April 10th, another third on April
10th and another ON May 1st, hewould
be able to handle much larger acre
age to better advantage than he could
BY planting all Of his beets Ut the
same time. He does not recommend
planting under any considerattsn later
than May 10th. The earliest plant
In g have given the best results.
The perfect distance for sugar beets
Is one foot apart each way, but It Il
not practical to make rows much clos
er than eighteen inches leaving the
beets eight inches apart In the row.
This would give 1880 beets to the
scre and II the average should be Z
pound each It would give . yield Of
over 20 tons II there were no plants
missing. However, such desirable
condition 10 not to be obtained.
The most diflicult work in the grow
Ing Of beets ID to get the small plants
started. The seed takes more mois-
ture than almost any other that can
be planted and moist condition Of
the ssed bed ID absolutely essential.
Mr.. Cooke recommends thal marking

plants become large before they are

advises punching beets when thinning
