weess All kept out. German growers
see to it that the ground is broken
between the beets as we'll as be-
tween The rows. This, they claim,
with early thinning, adds another 25
per cent to the tonnage. Their
yield per acre is practically the same
as ours, so we might and will,
eventually, raise many more tons per
acre in Colorado than we do now.
Their land has been under cultiva-
tion many hundred years and were it
not for constant feeding and fertiliz-
Ing 1t would have long ago been
worthless. Chemical fertilizer is
applied every year and every fourth
year coat of barn yard manure is
applied along with smaller amount
Of chemical fertilizer. Crops are
rotated the same as with us. Their
farm stock grades high. No scrub
stock Is kept. Work teams are
worth $3.50 to $3.50. Work oxen $500
to $3.50 per team. Oxen are used for
field work and short hauls and the
horses for the heavier road work.
Oxen are popular with them because
whereas horse grows of less value
as he grows older an OK when he gets
too old for work is fattened and sold
for meat, bringing almost as much
as he would when younger for work
purposes, meat being very high
there. The haul to the factories is
invariably very short, seldom run
ming as far as three miles. The
country is gridironed with railroads.
but beet dumps, time savers, are un-
known. Beets are shoveled from
wagon to car. Labor is the cheapest
commodity in beet growing there.
Men, teamsters, etc, receive about
forty cents day. while the women,
who do much of the hoeing, thin
ming and harvesting, are paid 30 to
IS cents day. In addition to this
wage they are furnished good,
clean, comfortable place TO sleep and
at evening pot of some sort of
vegetable, uncooked. Otherwise they
board themselves Many laborers
work twenty. five, thirty, forty and
frequently fifty years for the same
employer, without change Some Of
the large landlords have sort of
roll of honor system and the laborer
who has worked continuously for one
employer for twenty-five years or
longer receives sort OF coupon book,
on the cover of which is set forth
his name and length of service, while
the coupons, inside the book, usually
so marks, (about sl2 so of our
money!, may be detached and spent
same as cash. Thus he can eat his
cake and keep it too. The price
paid for beets in Germany Is practi-
cally same as with us, about 81. so per
ton, though the grower pays the
freight to the factory, and besides
the tare per cent for incidental
waste Is uniformly deducted, leaving
him about rs cents per ton less than
the American grower receives.
