yields were not secured after the
beet crop. The thorough prepara-
tion of the soil for the beets and the
subsequent excellent care given II
are reflected in the better physical
condition Of the soil and the suppress
sion of weeds. Both of these bene-
fits extend over to the next crop.
The beet is deep roofing plant
and brings up plant foods from the
stores deep down in the soil, and
through the roofing OF the tops
places these in the surface soil with
in reach of shallow rooted crops.
They are also in form more avail
able for the plants, predigested, so
to speak
The rootlets Of the beet, in de-
caying form first humus and then
plant food. They also leave little
channels running several feet into
the ground. thus permitting drain
age and seriation to a far greater
extent than is otherwise possible
Roots of future crops will follow
these passages and thereby secure
more moisture and reach greater
stores of plant food. 1t has been
estimated that one ton of humus is
put down into the soil by these root
lets, and it is put deeply where it
will do the most good
The land is plowed deeper than
usual by five to eight inches and Just
so much more land becomes avail
able for future crops. Most crops
derive their nutriment from within
the space prepared by the plow
Moreover, in the usual work the
plowings are repeated to one depth,
this results in the formation of a
plow pan which the deep plowing for
the beets breaks up.
When the beets are plowed out
the land is given a deep sub-soiling
There is nothing miraculous or
difficult to understand about this
The benefits are positive and easy to
the sugar beet is by no means the
total benefit derived. The bene-
fetal effects on the soil can be seen
in following crops, often until the
third year after. The soft, mellow
condition of the soil, the freedom
from weeds, and the actual increase
in the size and yield of the subse-
quent crops, point out the beneficial
action of the beet. In short, the
beet offers wide opportunity for the
systematic and economic rotation of
crops.
To the farmer who is not already
raising beets a trial will convince
him of the truth of these remarks
Fifty acres, or II that is too much
twenty-five, or ten or even five, put
into beets Will quickly furnish proof
II the plowing, seeding and cultivat-
ing is done right. Another year when
the old standbys are planted on this
place. grain, potatoes, corn, alfalfa
or whatever the main crop is, the
gr ater yield and greater ease In
handling the land will prove an
al aeable surprise. incidentally and
probably more important, the life of
the land will be prolonged, thereby
indicating the possibility OF securing
guarantee OF lifelong returns, not
only to the grower. but to his
children
Having thus demonstrated how
and why beet culture is a paying un-
dertaking, we hope that our readers
