Cost of Raising Beets.

A Vernon county farmer raising his
first crop of sugar beets this year, fur
nishes his local paper with an itemized
cost of raising as follows:
[ have just received my check for
nearly an acre of sugar beets, raised by
myself. planted exactly an acre, but
saved about ton for the brood sows,
chickens, calves and for table use. They
make very good table beets, but need
boiling long and are hard. The hens eat
them we'll if chopped raw and they she'll
out baskets of eggs. They must be a
valuable beet for COWS. The tops lasted
nearly month for COW feed and [ be-
lieve we're worth ton of bran for milk,
or fifteen dollars. They should be piled
in small piles to keep long and should be
fed sparingly to cows or they will act as
a cathartic.
The cost of raising an acre of beets is
considerable. We neglected to keep an
exact account, but know it took about
fourteen days work to weed the acre.
The blowing, narrowing and planting
cost about $25, the seed, lifting and top
ping another twenty dollars, and the
hauling eight dollars for men alone.
With hired help at $3.50 day it cost me
about $50 to do the work. | had credit
ed to me 29,260 pounds of beets, S72.42.
Less seed and freight, S6.10, | received
in cash S6632. There was 5 per cent.
tare, or $40 pounds, on the car load for
dirt, etc. The beets tested 14.9 per cent.

sowed seed rather late owing to wet soil
and had more wedding than the average
farmer to do. I believe sugar beet rails
ingssis commendable industry and
should be tried further in this vieln-
ity. There is not the big money in it
there is in tobacco some years, but it is
safer industry which fits in well with
