PLANT THAT IMPROVES SOIL.
The Sugar Beet Increases Yield of
Other Crops.

How sugar beets improve the fertil
ity of the soil and increase the yield Of
all crops growE in rotation with them
is explained in the National Magazine
by Truman G. Palmer. who has spent
the past ten years in studying agricul-
tural methods in Europe and America.
THE sugar beet being deep rooter,"
says Mr.. Palmer, "a prerequisite to itSI
culture is that the soil be stirred TO
depth of ten to fourteen inches. The
tender beetlet having TO undergo the
shock of thinning soon after it comes
up in order to leave but one beet to a
place it demands well prepared. mel
low seed bed. Gathering the sugar in
its leaves from the atmosphere by the
aid Of the light and storing it up in the
roots. it will not thrive if the light is
cut off through being shaded by weeds,
and their eradication means not only a
further stirring of the soil by cultiva-
tion and hoetng, but they are removed
before going to seed. thus leaving
weedless fields for succeeding crops.

extra fall plowing, which leaves the
land in condition to absorb instead of
shed the fall and winter rains and store
up the moisture for the following sea-
sons crop. With the removal of the
main root myriadS of tibrous roots are
broken off and left in the soil to an
average of ton to the acre, and in
rotting they not only deposit humus in
the lower strata Of soil, but leave mi
mute channels through which it be-
comes aerated and hence fertile. The
roots of subsequent crops follow these
interstices and draw nutriment from
two and three times the depth of soil
formerly reached, and hence the farm
ers double and treble their soil output
without increasing their acreage"

FUTURE FOR FACTORIES.
Sugar Beet Industry, Still In Infancy,
Promises Big Things.


That the value of farm lands In Ohio
has been increased one-third wherever
the cultivation of sugar beets has been
| introduced and that the average re-
turn to the farmer from beet cultiva-
ton is several times that from other
staple crops is the statement of ex-
Congressman Ralph ID. Cole of Find
lay. o.. who recently submitted re-
port on this subject to the finance
committee of the United States senate
In connection with the free sugar bill
before congress.
The beet sugar industry in Ohio is
merely in its infancy compared with
It's possibilities of future develop
ment," said Mr. Cole. The first
sugar factory In the state was erected
at Fremont about eight years ago.
Since that time million dollar plants
have been put up at Findlay. Paulding.
Toledo and Ottawa. This season prob
ably 10000 acres Of sugar beets will
be grown in Ohio. bringing a direct
return to The farmers of the state Of
over $2.0OO.OO0. But this represents
only a beginning Of the possible ex-
pansiOn. since there is room for twen-
ty to thirty more factories. which will
represent capital Investment Of from
500 100000 to $3O.OOO.OOO.
"The cost Of growing an acre of
sugar beetS in Ohio varies. Of course.

makes it a very profitable crop.
81 think ! am safe in saying that the
value Of farm land has increased 30
per cent wherever sugar beets have
been grown in Ohio and that the av.
erage net profit per acre from this crop
to the farmer is $50. or twice as much
as could be obtained from corn.
"There is Il measure Of certainty to
the farmer in growing sugar beets
which is not true of any other crop.
Under the contracts made with the
farmer the factory takes his beets
whether they are delivered or not, pro.
vided the nondelivery is not the farm
er's fault Last year the fields were
so muddy that it was impossible to go
into them and get the beets out, and In
Hancock county alone $4,000 was paid
by the factory for undelivered baets."
In summarizing the perthlent fea-
lures Of beet growing in variofS states
the department of agriculture calls at
tentiOn to beet growing as of peculiar
Importance to Ohio because of the ex-
tensive stock feeding in all parts of the
state Beet pulp either wet or dried
has been found to be the finest feed
yet discovered for milk cows and for
fattening cattle. sheep and other ami
mails. A business of about s., ,G0O.0O0
year has grown up in the sale of
dried beet pulp, in which form it can
be profitably shipped.

In summarizing the important fea-
lures of sugar beet growing in various
parts of the country the department
of agriculture calls attention to its
peculiar importance to the middle
western states because of the extent
to which stock feeding is followed as
an industry in this territory. Beet
pulp-that is. what remains Of the
beet after the sugar has been extract
ed-has been proved to be the finest
feed yet discovered for milk cows
and for fattening cattle. sheep and
other farm animals. This Is true
whether the pulp is fed in its wet
state as it comes from the factory or
after being dried business OF about

The Silhouette.
Women who understand the
art of dress never lose sight of
their outline or silhouette. A
full length mirror is often a start
ling revealer of the awkard hang
of a skirt, or wrong poise of the
figure. Especially in selecting a
hat should every woman see her
self full length and only the wo-
man who is sure she can carry it
off should attempt anything dash
ing in headwear.
Hat Shapes.
There are no end of pretty new
shapes, many of them differing
very little from last years modes,
SO that a clever milliner can read
lily modify and retrim a hat into
proper lines, especially now that
brimS and crowns are more apt
than not to be built of contrast
ing materials, but unless the mil
liner can be depended upon to
give a different" new look to
the hat, it is better to get some
thing absolutely fresh and styl-
ish. Among the socalled "tail-
ored" hats can be found excellent
models that wear we'll and go
Smartly with almost any outfit.
This is particularly true this sea-
son when black and white hats
are more than ever fashionable,
especially black with white trim
mings. Plush is the latest hat
material, but velvets, especially
fancy styles and moires, are in
excellent vogue.
Brown is much liked, especial
ly the Havana shade, and taupe-
dark gray-very dark greens and
blues are all in the running, tho
black is first favorite, especially
combined with white.

America, than the surrounding
