Foliage and Formation of Sugar.

The leaves of the beet are the real
sugar factory. All the sugar is manu-
featured in them. The green coloring
of the leaves is due to the presence of
the little grains of green substance
called clorophyll. These grains are
the machinery, the leaves are the fac
tory and the sunlight is the power.
When the sun shines on the leaves the
chlorophyll is busy manufacturing
starch and sugar from the gas Gear
bonic acid gas, COZ which has been
taken in through the leaves and the
water which has been taken up
through the roots and stem. After the
sugar has been manufactured it is
sent down to the root to be stored un-
til the plant needs it.
Chlorophyll forms only in the sun
light, so if portion of the leaf gets
no sunlight the chlorophyll stops work
ing and will disappear. and the leaf
turns yellow and appears sick.
The amount of sugar manufactured
of the leaves and the amount of sun
shine which they get. The leaves
should lie so that the light will strike
them as nearly at right angles as pos
sible. Upright leaves will not produce
as much sugar as those lying flat.
The more continuously the sky is
cloudv and the lower the temperature
the less is the increase in sugar. Colo
RADIO is well adapted to production of
sugar beets because there is little
cloudy weather during the period of
sugar formation and the amount of
water applied to the crop can be regu-
lated under irrigation and is varied
under natural conditions.-S. B. Muck

Fossil Geography.

In these days of exploration few
parts of the globe remain unknown
and uncharted, and in our desire for
new lands to conquer we map the
mountains and deserts of the moon
and the canals of Mars. Within the
last few years, as the work of the
United States Geological Survey has
given biologists larger knowledge
of the rocks of the United States, a
new sort of geography has sprung up
fossil geography. In this new geo.
graphy the lands and seas of the re-
mote past are mapped in their true
form, and by means of these maps we
may follow the development of the
American continent and trace it's
many changes of land and water from
age to age. Why should not the gov
eminent geography of America in re-
mote geological time be of greater in
terest to us here in the United States
than the present geography of the
moon, or perhaps even the present
geography of the interior of Africa
As the natural wealth of the country
is in large part dependent on the rocks
that make up the crust of the earth, 1t
is well to know how and when the
rocks were formed. 1t may seem
scarcely possible to map these ancient
lands and seas by studying handfuls of
fossils taken from the rocks on their
sites, but this is what is being done.

had stocked enough to feed 135 head
of cattle and horses and they came
through the winter looking sleek and
fat. Similar experiences in various
places on the plains have turned at
tention to the feeding value of the
Russian thistle. Landowners and
road overseers have been enjoined by
law to use all possible means of des-
troying the plant but this season, in
the face of general failure of forage
crops, many drouth farmers put up
quantities of the thistle, which was
cut before the middle of July while
tender and green. The silo, having
come into general use, makes better
storage than the stack and on many
ranches there was nothing else to
store. The coming winter will give the
thistle the irst general test as forage

Winter Treatment of Asparagus Beds.

The old stalks should be removed
about the time the berries begin to
turn red. If cut off sooner, the roots
of the plants lose some of the nourish-
ment they would otherwise receive,
and if cut later the berries will have
ripened, and these will produce unde-
sirable seedlings the following season
However, if the stalks have not been
cut off before, they may be removed
to advantage as late as November or
December. They should all be burned
as this aids in controlling fungi and
disposes of the litter.
After the field has been cleared of
the old plants, finely rotted manure
should be applied to depth of two
or three inches. This serves both to
fertilize the bed and to protect the
plants during the winter. Asparagus
is a gross feeder, and it is difficult to
give it too much fertilizer.
BY applying the manure in the late
fall and early winter 1t is subject to
the action of the snow and rains of
winter and early spring rendering it
more available as plant food and i'm
proving the texture of the soil. 1t also
holds back the young shoots in the
spring, thus preventing injury from
late freezing. AS soon as possible in
the spring the manure should be
worked into the soil by plowing to a
depth of three or four inches, turning
the soil toward the rows and over the
crowns of the plants. After the cut
ting season is over the ridges formed
in this way are leveled.-R. A. McGin.

Harvesting Russian ThistIes.

This year thousands of tons of Rus
sian thistles were cut, cured and put
into silos for winter feeding by stock
men on the plains and the recogni-
tion given this thrifty weed makes
it likely that in future years it will
be far more kindly treated than in
the past. One man, after struggling
with the Russian thistle which had
taken his wheat fields, has quit fight
ing adopted the practice of harvest
ing and feeding the thistle with very
satisfactory results. Drouth destroyed
his crops and across the lister rows
the Russian thstles spread themesl-
yes in great balls of compact, pulpy
green foliage, feet in diameter and
2k feet in height. Noticing that the
cattle ate the young thistles. he made
the experiment of harvesting, sailing
and stacking a few tons. On opening
the stack last winter he found the
inside as fresh and green as alfalfa
and the cattle ate it with relish He

How Thick Should Alfalfa Be seenedY

1t is often recommended that alfalfa
be seeded with twenty pounds of seed
to the acre in order to insure a good
stand of plants, yet experience of
many farmers seems to show that
splendid results have been secured
from only seeding with ten or twelve
pounds of good seed.
1t is very evident that a great deal
depends on how much of the seed
germinates in either case to produce
certain results, and the question is
how much seed would give the best
yields of hay if different rates of seed
ing We're tested in comparison under
uniform conditions. In order to test
this point, as well as some others, ten
rates of seeding alfalfa were made at
Rocky Ford at the experiment station
The lightest seeding was two
of two pounds per acre up to twenty
pounds per acre. The seed was sown
under ideal conditions, on field that
was very uniform in all points of
growing conditions.
The test was made in duplicate, one
acre of ten different rates of seeding
with common alfalfa and another
series of ten plats of Baltic alfalfa
seeded at the same time and in the
same amounts per plat.
The test was seeded in 1912, and the
first years records have been COM
pleted on four cuttings of hay during
1913
AS a progress report, the results
show that there is very little differ
ence in the amount of hay in terms of
tons per acre from the different rates
of seeding. There was some variation
in the results on the different crops,
and the records should be continued
for several years before the results
will conclude what rate has given the
best results.
The thin rate of seeding made coars-
er, more stemmy hay, while the very
thick seedlings gave very fine, leafy |
hay. almost too fine to get the maxi
mum yield of hay.
The thin stands were more weedy |
the first season, and also the second, /
while the thick seedlings were almost |
free from weeds the second year.
From indications it seams as if the /
plants seeded with eight to ten pounds
of seed per acre were the best, all
points considered.
The general statement seems safe
to say that if conditions are good for
termination that ten to twelve pounds
of good alfalfa seed should give salts
factory results, and if conditions are
not good twenty or even thirty pounds
per acre will not insure a stand
