One of the most important OF the
industries developed In recent years
is the production Of sugar from sugar
beets. More or less desultory WorA
was done on sugar beets as TAI
back as 1887. In 1892 only six fac

try, the combined output OF which
/ was a little over 27,000,000 pounds OF
sugar.
According to the National Maya

combined output of approximately

One NEST important factor has
been the production of high grade
sugar beet seed For many years
American growers have been depend

Small Fruit Fertilizers.

Blackperries, currants, gooseber.

decomposition of animal or vegetable
ammoniates as of phosphates ana pot
ashes.
Consequently small fruits in the
garden suffer from lack of sufficient
plant food. All these plants when
planted in gardens are usually set in
rows four feet apart, the plants about
three feet apart in the rows, about A.
200 plants in an acre. In field Gull
ture, blackberries are usually set four
feet apart each way.
So far as possible small fruits
should. be cultivated in the early
spring., and all dead canes removed.
Work into the soil along the rows 300
to 600 pounds of phosphate and pot
ash; when the plants are in full leaf,
broadcast along the row 200 to 400
pounds of nitrate of soda, and work
in with rake. If at tendency to
drop leaves or stop growing apply
more nitrate.
Small fruits must have a steady,
even growth; in most cases unsatis-
factory result can be directly traced
to irregular feeding of the plant. In
field culture the crop must be titled
quite the same as for corn; in the
garden in very dry weather irrigation
should be used if possible. The yield
per acre is very heavy, and, of course,
the plants must receive plant-food in
proportion.-New York Farmer.

ward the heart of the most productive land

a consul's report, and It utterly different
from the descriptions written by most consuls,

signature should come at the very end. The
thought was that here was --nsul or clerk

is story and nothing else-eads to the inal
planting of the pines under the direction of
Napoieon-pines which saved the fields of
France.
Wherever the foot OF the sand dune rested,
there was hopeless blight. A little wiry grass
grew in the shadow of the heather and gorse,
on which the sheep browsed under the eyes OF
solemn-faced shepherds perched on stills and
knitting as they watched. On and on crept the
phalanx of the terrible dunes slowly but surely
blghting all in their path not only creating a
desert but destroying hope. AS long as the
winds blew from the west the dunes marched
TO the east; the desert fires ravaged the inter
vening spaces; locks grew fewer, the desola-
ton more extreme. In the heart of sunny
France desert was established ever increas-

The official document then tells us in the
words of its contributor how France was saved
by the adoption of the idea of Bremontier, one
OF the sons of the seemingly doomed region.
The seeds of the pine, the pin maritime" of
the French, were gathered and sprouted care
fully and the young trees were planted in
places where the moving sands did not over
whelm them until their tough roots had taken
firm hold, their wiry leaves, which loved the
briny spume, would offer resistance to the
wind. and falling about their roots, would give
shelter and nutriment until a forest grew which
would hold the sands In check and save the
threatened interior from desoation."
IL was Napoleon who seized upon the idea
of Bremontier His vision penetrated the
centuries and he saw the march of the deadly
dunes arrested and the desert they had created
made to blossom like the rose"
The consul tells us that after century has
passed the statue of Bremontier looks down
one Of the great burrows which lie between the
dunes he showed how TO conquer To-
day, as we are told. "the dark squad
rons of the pin maritime are posted on
thousands of sandy slopes, faithful guardians
In the shelter of which thevineyards and wheat
fields rest secure. The gray dunes which were
sweeping over the land have become serried
fortresses which shelter civilization and pros
