INTENSIVE CULTIVATION.

An item in another column mentions
that man living near Mansfield, La,
Melted $500 from one acre planted in
tomatoes. Such items are frequent,
relating to the success achieved in
planting one or another small crop. It
carries but one lesson to the heedful,
and that Is, that the best results are to
be obtained by intensive cultivation,
and that, when expended on a small
piece OF land There are few persons
in a position to till large acreages so
thoroughly as to get the best possible
results, hence the wisest man is he,
who does not attempt too much.
1t may be we'll said that most agricul.
turlsts in this section are cursed with
too much land, that is, too much to
cultivate under present conditions.
But most of them have inherited large
ideas OF plantations" and cannot rid
themselves of the notion that a small
farm would ruin them, that they could
not subsist on it's returns. The truth
is to the contrary. More rapacious
than boil weevils is the hungry nav
of a big field, which the owner has not
the means to cultivate properly. 1t
literally eats him up with taxes, and
poor returns from time and labor ex-
pended. He may be convinced that a
little farm well-tilled is better if he
will but think over what he sees.

DR.. BOWLING USUALLY RIGHT.

More than one Louisiana editor criti-
cizes DR.. Bowling for what they con-
slider an unfriendly attitude to the
people and institutions in the towns
that he visits. One of these intimates
that he would accomplish more by as
Stunning more conciliatory tone in his
dealings with the public. Our contem-
porary probably overlooks the two
facts that DR.. Bowling comes not as an
adviser and friend, but as an officer of
the law when making inspections, and
such officers should know no friends in
the circumstances. In the operation
OF the health train and the distribu-
ton of health bulletins and like read
Ing matter he shows himself teacher
a1d adviser, and it is only when he
has instructed the people without eff
feet that he is seen in his severer as
poets.
We DO not say that DR.. Bowling is
never unduly stern, but we do venture
to say that he is never so without pro-
vocation. The attitude of too many
persons Is distinctly unfriendly to the
demands of public sanitation, and he
feels all the brunt of it. Moreover he
has frequent experience of those who
pursue tactics which are seemingly
friendly, but which are misleading,
and so intended. For example, the of.
ficiously obliging local man offers to
show the health officer around a town,
but carefully leads the latter eway
from anything remiss. in which the
cicerone may be personally interested
Such tactics are not likely to contri-
butte anything to the inspectors friend.
Illness or even openness of mind to
home guides.

GOOD ROADS IN MICHIGAN.
Given Great Impetus by Sugar Beet
industry's Growth.

The rapid growth Of the beet sugar
industry in Michigan has been one of
the powerful factors contributing to
the extension of good roads in the
state. While an acre Of wheat or oats
yields crop weighing from half to
two-thirds of ton, the output from
an acre Of sugar beets averages ten
tons or more. The beets cannot be
marketed at any time that suits the
convenience Of the farmer. They must
be delivered to the factory when 1t Is
ready to receive them, and this time is
in the fall. when ordinary dirt roads
are likely to be in bad condition.
The result has been that strong de-
mand for good roads has arisen wher-
ever sugar factories have been estab-
lished. The manufacturers have given
heed to this. and the various sugar
companies have adopted the custom
wherever good roads funds have been
started of contributing dollar to this
purpose for every dollar raised by the
farmers themselves. The result is that
nearly every town containing beet
sugar factory has become a center for
good roads development. The benefits
Of this movement have not been con-
fined to the beet farmers, Of course,
but have become evident in the i'm
proved appearance of the towns them
selves, in the increased business done
by their merchants and in the advanc-
ing values of all property.
There is nothing that will give
community a bigger boost in develop
ment and prosperity than the estab-
lishment of good roads, and it is fortu-
nate for the state that its two greatest
industrial developments of recent
years, automobile manufacturing and
the beet sugar industry, have both
worked so powerfully toward the con-
struction of the best type Of highways.

PERFECT SUGAR
BEET SEED.
New Type Being Developed by
Department Of Agriculture.

The Department of Agriculture at
Washington is run on the principle
that small projections mean large prof
its. This is exemplified by the fact
that the government scientists have
tried for ten years to develop certain
type of sugar beet seed. The perfect
seed is now in sight. It's establishment
will mean an annual gain Of from SILL
100000 to S13,000,O00 to the sugar beet
farmers of the west.
The possibility of developing the per-
feet seed was called to Secretary Will
sons attention by Truman G.. Palmer,
secretary of the United States beet
sugar industry, in 1902. Secretary Will
son was confined to his home with q
severe cold at the time, but he grew so
excited about the matter that he for
got his cold and started his scientific
men at work Immediately.
Here is the story Of what the perfect
beet seed will do for the farmer:
The sugar beet crop needs unusual
care. The seed is drilled in rows, sew
eral beet seeds being planted to the
inch. When the beets are up laborers
60 through the fields with a hoe and
"block" them out, leaving a single
small bunch every eight inches. And
here the trouble comes, for beet
seed is rarely a single seed. 1t nor
mally contains several beet germs
perhaps as many as six--so the little
beet clusters must be thinned. Labor
ers go through the fields on hands and
knees, grasping one hardy beetet be-
tween the thumb and forefnger Of
the left hand. while with the right
they pull out the remaining beetlets.
II this operation is not performed at
a certain period in the development of
the beetlets those left to grow will die.
BY great labor the government sci
entists secured 1000 single germ beet
seeds. AS only / per cent Of beet
seeds are normally single germs, over
100000 seeds had to be infinitely ex-
amined for this selection. 1t took two
years to secure the first generation Of
the selected plants. for the beet Is
biennial. The best plant yielded &c
per cent Of single germ seed. In the
second generation one plant yielded so
per cent single germ seed. The fifth
generation has just been reached and
shows one plant yielding over so per
cent Of single germ seed. Probably In
a few more generations the constant
single germ seed will be reality.
AS result the beet farmer will save
from So to So an acre on hand labor
and 1t is estimated that his average
tonnage will be increased from one
third to one-half, thus adding from
$23 to 500 to his profit per acre.

Root Crop Every Fourth Year.

Few persons realize that large por-
ton Of Germany Is but sandy plain
and her enormous crop yields due to
the fact that for each three acres Of
cereals grown her farmers raise one
acre of hoed crops, thus producing a
root crop on each field every fourth
year. They grow sugar beets wher-
ever possible and are the greatest pro-
ducers of this vegetable in the world
So thoroughly do they appreciate the
influence Of root crop on the yield
Of other crops that in sections where
there are no factories to which they
can sell their sugar beets they grow
beets or other root crops and feed
them to stock. as they do In Great
Britain. But where there are sugar
factories the farmers secure the double
advantage Of first selling the crop for
sugar and then hauling Its full feeding
value back to the farm In the residue

MEASURING HAY IN STACK

Reply to Andrew Wright, Sidewood.
Sask.: "Will you please send me a
formula for measuring hay in the
stack"
For obtaining the number OF tons
of hay in a stack, the first step is to
measure the width and length with a
tape line, and then what is known as
the overthrow, that is. pass a tape
line from the bottom OF the stack on
one side over to the bottom on the
other side and divide this measure
ment which is called the overthrow
by three, then multiply the length by
the width. and this by one-third OF
the overthrow-this, gives you the
number OF cubic feet in the stack. OF
course, If the stack is different
widths or different heights you will
have to take the measurements in
several places and obtain the average
of these by adding them together and
dividing by the number of measure
ments made.
The number of cubic feet of hay
per ton varies considerably with the
length of time that it has been stacked.
With newly stacked hay it will take
about 500 cubic feet to equal a ton.
If it has been stacked for two to
three months, from $50 to 400 cubic
feet will equal ton. After you have
obtained the number of cubic feet in
the stack, divide by the number of
cubic feet in ton, taking into con.
sideration the length Of time that the
hay has been stacked
