If you hrve tried and have not won,
Never stop for crying;
All that's great and good is done
Just by patient trying.

OF all foolish things that foolish men
do
For fun or for gain,
Just think the thing over, we leave
lit you,
The most foolish thing and you've
done it too,
Is to run for train.

The Florida agriculturist., 1909-12-01


for it not only furnishes what potash
the plant requires, but it is good
agent to keep cut worms and other
insects away from your plants. After
your land is we'll fertiliZed and plow-
ed, it should be gone over with a
homemade board drag, to level and
pack the ground. When the land is
leveIed and packed, we will proceed
to lay it off for planting. The first
thing to do, is to make wood rake,
putting the teeth, the width of the
rows, which for beets is about
eighteen inches-an inch or two
more or less does not make any diff
ference. To mark your rows off,
stretch a line for the first row, and
mark the rest from these rows, and
they are bound to be straight
Now our next job will be to mark
off the distance in the rows, for
setting the plants. This distance
should be three or four inches apart.
The easiest and best way to do this,
is to go to the blacksmith, and get
him to make you a wheel, about
thirty inches in diameter, with plugs
in the tire, the width, you wish the
plants set apart. You will have to
put handles on this wheel, like hand
plow handles, to guide it with. When
your marker is finished, run it down
the rows, that you have already
marked off, and when you have
finished you will have your field laid
eff ready for setting, and you will
be sure that everything is the proper
distance apart.
There are several things to re-
member in setting any kind of root
plant, as beetS, onions, etc., and that
is not to get the bulb down too deep,
or your labor will be lost. You also
have to be careful in watering the
plant after setting. Don't pour the
water on the plant, pour it on the
ground at the base of the plant,
packing the ground around the roots.
It is we'll to water the plants the
afternoon they are set, and again
the following morning. It may seem
expensive, but it is ten times better
and cheaper than transplanting.
After your plants are all planted
you will leave them for about two
weeks, until they are we'll rooted,
and have started to grow. Then go

give them a light fertiliZing of nj
tra6e Of soda, being careful not to
geV4t on the plants. This makes the
beets start off, and keep on growing,
otherwise they would loaf on you for
three or four weeks. The principal
thing now is to keep them well
worked. For this purpose there is
nothing better than a Planet Jr.
wheel plow, (they are equal to an
extra hand on the farm). About
two months after planting in the
field, your beets should be ready for
shipment.
Beets should be packed with the
tops on, as the tops make excellent
greens. Some markets require the
The Florida agriculturist., 1909-12-01

To the average farmer, in and out
Of Florida, the above statement is
apt to be doubted, but the writer has
raised four crops on the same acre
Of ground, at MOntrose Farm Trial
Grounds, in one year; and if you
will be little patient, he will try
to prove to you, that you can do
likewise.
To start with you have to get
your land in the best shape possible,
and it is best to have it sub-irrigat-
cd, or irrigated from overhead ir-
rigatiOn, if you are going to make
a success of the crops.
The crops that We will raise will
be, two crops of beets, one of sweet
corn, and one of cOwpeas. The last
crop will pay best if turned under
for fertilizer, as you can find no
thing better for enriching the soil.
1t will be best to deal with each
crop, in the order they are grown.
The first thing that has to be done
in raising crop Of beets, will be
co make up your seed beds. These
beds can be made as long as cOnven-
lent, and just wide enough to reach
across. They should be free from
any sticks, weeds, stones, or trash
of any kind. The best fertilizer to
use in your seed beds, is a GOOd arti-
Gle of commercial fertilizer, as weeds
and grass do not grow as fast on
it as on stable fertilizer. It is good
idea to put some castor pOmace in
your beds. This is low grade of
fertilizer that is a preventive for cut
worms, and as they are the principal.
enemy Of the beets, it is best to use
preventives to keep them from get
ting a start. Your seed should be
in the ground not later than Sep
tember 1st: they should be planted
in rows six inches apart, and very
thin in the rows. They should be
kept we'll worked until they are
about six inches high, when they can
be transplanted to the field. One of
the best varieties of beets to plant,
is Kennerly's Truckers Perfection.
Some of our readers will ask, why
don't you plant the seed, where you
want the plants to grow? I will ad
nit that it does look like double
work, transplanting the plants, but
1t is about as much work thinning
them out, and replanted plants will
make twice as quick, and we. are
after saving all the time that we
can.
Now while we are letting the
plants grow, we will get our ground
ready to set them in. AS I said
above, you must get your land in
the best possible condition, it being
impossible to get the land in too
good condition for planting any crop.
For fertilizer, there is nothing bet
ter for beets than good, well-rotted
stable manure, put on as heavy as
you can, and then put on that heavy
again. Let me say right here, what
fertilizer one crop don't get the next
one will, and the second crop will
come on twice as fast. Besides the
