SUGAR BEET SEEDING.
An Accidental Autumn Development
of Great Possible Value.

An Accidental Autumn Development
of Great Possible Value.
The Michigan station reports an acct
dental development in sugar beet grow
ing. 1t is of special interest because
it may lead to a new and improved
method of procedure and therefore
prove of great value to sugar beet
farmers. A test of it would be in
order this fall.
In the year 1900 a few sugar beet
seed were grown at the station, with
a view to studying the question of
home production of seed. This expert
ment met with fair success, a small
crop of seed being produced that year
and the same planted in the spring of
1901. The beets from this planting are
to be replanted the coming season.
The results thus far demonstrate the
possibility of growing sugar beet seed
in that locality. The development of
this branch of the industry will require
years of careful work, but it suggests
a line of experiment that calls for fur
Their and particular attention.
From the plants that produced seed
in the fall of 1900 few seeds were
scattered on the ground. They lived
through the winter and came on the
following spring, giving substantial
growth of beets of good size, which
harvested Sept. Z, and III gave av-
erage yields of 1917 per cent sugar.
The possibility of seeding to sugar
beets in the fall is being tested by fur
Their experiment from seedlings made
in October, 1901.
The result of this accidental expert
ment in fall seeding points to a new
possibility in the management of the
sugar beet crop. Beets of large size
and with satisfactory percentage of
sugar were produced. Could this
method of planting be practiced, it
would be great help in distributing
the work of trimming the beets and
caring for the crop.

CLOTH DAM-METAL DAM OR TAPPooN.
stout, closely woven cloth or canvas,
one side of which is rolled around and
nailed to crosspiece Of wood of length
and strength according to the size of
the ditch and the amount of water to
be damned. Sometimes it is made with
hem across one side deep enough to
allow the crosspiece to be thrust
through the hem. In using the dam
place the stick across the top of the
dry ditch where it is desired to throw
the water out, draw the lower edge of
the cloth up the bottom of the ditch
and place little dirt ON the corners.
The canvas must always be large
enough to have several inches lap
against the sides of the ditch; other
wise it will not retain all the water.
Should the ditch have steep grade it
will be necessary to let the canvas fill
up gradually. as a sudden rush of wa
ter would force the cloth from it's posi-
ton. When the dam is in position, it
will be necessary to cut the bank of
the ditch at the places where the water
is wanted. Two cloth dams will be
needed in order to place one in position
while the other throws the water out
above, it being difficult to lay the can
vas under full head of water. The
water will press the canvas against the
sides and bottom of the ditch, so that
none can escape. To remove the cloth
take hold of one end of the Scantling
and pull slowly upstream.
A metal dam or "tappoon" is on some
accounts preferable to the cloth, and It,
too, is readily made. Heavy sheet iron
is cut into semicircular shape, and the
straight edge is securely fastened be-
tween two narrow strips of wood by
carriage bolts which pass through the
strips and through holes punched in
the iron sheet, or it may be more
cheaply made by securely mailing the
iron to one side of single thicker strip
of wood, like piece of scantling.
These metal dams are made of differ
ent sizes according to the ditch in
which they are to be used, their diam
eter being little more than the width
of the ditch, as the edges must be
pushed down a little way into the
earth of the ditch banks and bottom.
They are placed in the ditch at or near
the point where it is desired to turn out
the water. These metal dams are also
used in the openings in the banks of
bitches either to close them when
checks are full or to partly close them
and still permit part of the stream to
enter the check to balance the soaking
away. They are made with sliding
gates to be used when part of the
stream is to be allowed to pass through
for any purpose.
Wooden dams are of much use in
quite small bitches and as gates for
handling small overfows into checks.

The Sugar Beet sen.on.

The season for sugar beets has been
rather too wet for best results in the
middle states, but prospects are fine in
the central west, while in the mountain
and coast states the harvesting Of a
superb crop is now under way and
Pacific coast factories are running full
blast. Several new factories will be
completed in time to work up the 1902
crop of beets in the United States
while in Ontario four sugar mills will
be in operation.-Orange Judd Farmer

TOOK FIOO, ALAS!
TO REPTILE-HOUSE
Fair Haired Girl Acted on Bad
Advice, and Her Pet Made an
AIIigator's Meal.

"Do you think we dare take Tido in
to see those awful snakes?' asked a
fair-haired young girl. mufiied to her
big blue eyes in rich furs, of a n
young man to whose arm she was
cinging lovingly. as they stopped be-
fore the reptile-house in Bronx Park
yesterday morning.
The slender young man looked YEARLY
in the direction of a fat pug. and re-
t.nrked sarcastically:
"If after all he has eaten to-day he
don't see more strange creatures than
more snakes he must have a cast-iron
rvo system"
"Now. Edward, you are positively
brutal!" exclaimed the young thing,
pettishly. but / really thought 1t might
be an awful shock to him to see those
horrible, squIrmlng things, However
with a long slgh-''we might risk 1t,
though we must not let him get out OF
our sight for an instant"
Calling the waodilng pug. they entered
the reptile-house and began the round
of the cages. There were few people
in the building and the dog began to in
vestlgate his new surroundings, at first
sleepily, but as he noticed remarkable
signs OF life about him he frightened
UP and began to run about with con-
siderable animation. EoG several min
utes the young girl kept a strict watch
on her pet, but when she came to the
cage of the 24-foot python she opened
her eyes wide with wonder and began
to study the reptile closely.
Fddo had wandered owe by the bis
alligator tank, where oldMose (the IA
Rotor was lazlly floating ON the sur
face near the edge. First the pug
snlfied at the edge OF the tank and
looked over on what he was sure va a
fine big log. AS Il did not move he
grew bolder and. edging over the ledge,
placed his two front paws on the log,
There was a splash, a terrified httle
yelp, then the surface Of the tank was
unrrfiled except for a few tiny bubbles.
About fve minutes later a young
woman with tears streaming down her
face was watching q little tuft of vel
low hair floating about the surface OF
