TIE SJGAR-BEITT CULTURE

IN the United States there are fifty
seven Sugar-beet factories working
three months each year, grinding,
boiling and squeezing the out
OF nearly forty thousand Q Il Of beets
every working day, but this does not
near fill u wants. These facts ought
to be encouraging to beet-GroWers.
Thorough cultivation is an impor-
tant factor in producing good sugar
beets. It IS a common SAYING anloIla
Germans that the sugar must be
hoed into the beet
In no time of its life should a su-
gar beet be allowed to stop growing
for if il once becomes stunted it IS
doubtful whether il will ever make
as good q beet as it would have been
under conditions Of continuous growth
Another way the beet has been in
proved IS by increasing its sugaT con-
tent. This has been done without in
creasing the size Of the beet.
If a largely Increased yield Of beets
is combined with a much higher su-
gar content It is entirely possible to
obtain three times as much per
acre as IS produced on an average at
the present time.
The present average yield OF beets
per acre in this country is about 10
tons, and the percentage OF sugar &C
tually extracted and refined does not
exceed Il, making the average yield
Of sugar per acre approximately 2,4o0
pounds.
Yields of more than 60 tons Of beets
per acre are sometimes obtained, and
yields Of more thar % tons are com
mon.
From 90 to % per cent Of the su-
gar in the beets has been reported
SO frequently that * is safe to
that an average sugar content OF IS
per cent is Within the limits of posi-
DiIity.
If an average Weld Of 20 tons per
acre ana an average sugar content
Of Is per cent could be reached. we
would nave az average yield OF 200
pounds Of aga per acre.
Clay loans are very satisfactory for
sugar-beet production. provided other
conditions are fayorabIe; but more
depends upon the physical condition
OF the soil Il upon methods OF cul-
tSation than upon the particular kind
or variety Of soil used. The soil, how
ever should be Well supplied with hu-
mus and we'll drained.
