1t has been discovered that the honey
bee is Of even more importance to the
alfalfa than the alfalfa Is to the bee.
The wonderful strength and speed Of
the bees take them long distances for
their food. and they have ecourse to a
great variety Of plants. But the pecul-
lar construction Of the alfalfa blossom
renders It unable to fertilize itself. aud
its shape makes cross fertilization very
difficult.
At the Kansas experiment station a
small plot e.f vigorous alfalfa was y

TESTING SUGAR BEET SEED.
Upon It Rests Ability of Roots to Pro-
duce Maximum Quantity Of Sugar.

Upon It Rests Ability of Roots to Pro-
duce Maximum Quantity Of Sugar.
Testing the roots is II of the most
important steps in the production OF
beet seed. since the value Of b seed
depends NOT only upon its quality from
the standpoint of termination. but also
upon the ability of the roots produced
to store a maximum quantity Of sugar
with Il minimum quantity of salts.
With our present knowledge Of seed
production the standard of high grade
seed can be maintained only by the
most careful and rigid testing and
elimination Of all roots that are not OF
a satisfactory quality. Having select
ed roots of suitable size and shape. a
typical core is removed by means OF
q drill which is passed through the
beet at IN angle, as shown in the Illus
tration. This core is tested for sugar
by the usual polariscope methods. The
ability of Il seed grower to maintain
high quality in the root Is n Of the
most important conditions IN the es-
adjustment and maintenance Of the
beet seed Industry. says the year book
Of the department of agriculture.
There is a great deal of confusion in
the minds Of plant breeders regarding
the real purpose of the selection OF the
roots from the standpoint OF sugar con-
tent. Careful observation would seem
to Indicate that breeding and selection
for high sugar content have to do
mainly with the elimination Of those
individual roots that will not respond
readily to favorable conditions of soil
and climate with respect to the forma-
ton and storage of sugar and the pres
ervation and perpetua1ion of those
roots that will respond TO those condi-
tons. High content. therefore.
does not seem to be Il fixed character
in the same sense as are color. form.
etc, but will vary to q marked de-
gree when the conditions Of growth arc
changed. For example. seeds from the
same plant when planted in different
parts of the country have been known
to produce roots having 4 difference of

Charcoal as a Fertilizer.

Charcoal has but little plant food.
yet it usually shows results. 1t gives
light soils :: darker color. thus making
them warmer. 1t also makes soils
porous and increases their power to
hold water. Charcoal is a fine alb
sorbent for gases. When worked into
the soil it will no doubt prevent the
escape Of some of the ammonia formed
when organic substances decay. For
these and other reasons charcoal will
help, especially on light soils.-Rural
