Root Crop Every Fourth Year.

Few persons realize that a large por
tion 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
nrre 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 bests they grow
l'eets or other root crops and feed
them to stock, as the! 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 it, full feeding
