in prices. Full recoyeries We're made

ENHANCE SUGAR BEET VALUE.
Wisconsin Scientists Give Results n
Fertilizer Tests.

Madison, Wis.-That 13,477 pounds
Of sugar beets were added TO the reg
ular yield in one field by special
process Of fertilization is one of the
interesting facts announced in bull
letin entitled Sugar Beet Expert
ments During 1906 about to be pub
lished by the University of Wisconsin
agricultural station, The investiga-
tons and experiments upon which the
statistics compiled are founded are
the work Of Professors +. w, Vol and
C. w. Stoddart
The prime purposes Of the investi.
cations were to study the adaptability
to sugar beet culture OF characteristic
types of Wisconsin soils, from light
sandy loan to heavy clay, and to de-
termine what system of fertilization
would produce best results. Ten
farms In four counties of the state
were selected for the experiments.
Plots treated with potassium sui.
phate, acid sulphate and sodium
nitrate gave the best results in most
cases, In three cases the farm yard
manure gave better results, the in
crease in yield amounting to lO,S92
pounds on Chippewa Falls farm. to
l3,05S pounds on the Joseph Wright
farm. near Lancaster. and To 13,477
pounds on the neighboring William
Block farm. or the two remaining
Vernon county farms one gained an
increase of 6.l7S pounds on the potas-
sium sulphate plot and the other
7.243 pounds on the plot which had
been treated with acid phosphate.
The Improvement in the amount OF
sugar content in the beets is marked
as the Increase in yield. On the Block
farm the unfertilized plots showed
us and 75l pounds sugar content,
while the plot on which the nitrate
fertilizer was used showed l,942
pounds. On the Abrams farm. in the
same county, the increase was l,S0G
pounds sugar content.
