CLIMATE AND SOIL FOR SUGAR
BEETS.
(By G. S. KNIGHT.

Experience has shown that the
sugar beet reaches it's highest develop
ment in the north temperate latitudes.
Although the conditions of tempera-
ture must be taken into consideration
In selecting locations for the growing
of sugar beets, yet in addition to the
thermal conditions must also be
studied those of rainfall or water
supply.
The sugar beet requires a certain
amount Of moisture in order to pro-
duce its normal crop. This water may
De supplied by precipitation in the
usual way by irrigation, or else the
soil must of that particular quality
which will allow subterranean moist
ure to reach the roots Of the plants.
The poruS and sandy soils adjacent to
rivers sometimes furnish a sufficient
amount of subterranean moisture to
produce good crop in connection
with the rainfall.
In general, beets require or 5
months OF growing weather for their
successful production. In the west
where the moisture is applied by irri-
cation the crop may be harvested at
a certain stage, thus making the con-
ditions ideal. In the eastern sections
of the country. where the moisture is
applied by rainfall, a second growth
may occur after maturity, caused by
rain. which graetly reduces the sugar
content Of the beet.
The sugar beet does remarkably
| we'll at high elevations from the fact
| that it is injured very little by frost
and hailstones unless they are too
| severe Or too early. Profitable crops
| Of sugar beetS are, however, seldom
produced above the elevation Of 5000
| feet.
Probably the best soil tor sugar
| beets is a good, deep, clayey lOam with
| sufficient sand or salt to allow it's be-
| ing easily pulverized. Since the sugar
| beet Is deep rooted it necessarily re-
| quires deep soil. The low, wet sails
| are poorly adapted to this crop, as
| they are wet and prevent any rapid
| development in the early stages OF
| growth and the later growth con-
tinues beyond the time of maturity
| Such soils produce a Watery beet OF
low quality, resulting in low sugar
| content. Soils which have hard-par
formation within 1S inches Of the sur
| face should never be used for beets
| since they greatly interfere with root
| growth. and also have tendency tC
lose moisture.
Stony and gravelly soils should be
| avoided, since they are incapable o'
holding water and stony soils preven
the proper development in form OF
roots, which is essential for the high
est quality of beets. Sandy soils which
have tendency to blow should neVel
be used as the young plants art
frequently destroyed by strong winds
| The sugar beet requires deep, mel
low soil quite rich in available plan
food and free from weed growth.

FARM NE WS

A halt bushel Of the same were placed
IN closed boxes and set in the green
mouse under raised bed, over winter.
In oOth cases the July planted pota-
toes kept much firmer and were much
slower to sprout than the others.
Every mixer should carry a brush
to brush off the loose hairs from the
hanks and the udder of the COW be-
fore milking. This may seem like a
rad to many farmers, but nevertheless
1t means nothing but what we would
demand In the handling Of any other
kind Of food.

THE GERMINATION TEST OF
SEED CORN.
BY III. ID. Hughes.

While good seed corn is essential it
is not the only vital thing. We may
have the best seed that can be pro-
highest, but unless the plant receives
the attention it must have, our crop
will be failure-or at least, a disap-
pointment.
Good corn growing does not alto-
gether lie in good seed, either Diff
ferent seed must be used on different
soils, and after the crop is out Of the
ground the everlasting fight against
weeds begins. A shallow grained
corn will do better on light soil than
will the deep. full-grained Dent va
riety. Corn raising is as much Of an
art as stock raising, and aside from
the marketing, requires as much skill.
So much depends upon the seed
and its relation to the soil; the quail
ity Of the soil and it's previous treat
ment; the preparation Of the plant
from the moment it peeps from the
ground. Harvesting at the proper mo-
| ment, cribbing and marketing,- all
these things must have the proper
relation to one another, or the crop
will not be a success. But this article
will deal only with the very first step
| in successful corn grOwing-that OF
testing the seed with simple, inexpen-
sive. home made testers. thorough
| 1y reliable testing method advocated
| by a Missouri grain club is as fol-
lows:
Use piece Of cheap domestic, a
| flour or wheat sack. or old table cloth,
| about 26 inches long, and IL inches
wide This size will test six ears Of
| corn, enough to plant one-half acre.
| Spaces for seed four inches square
| should be numbered the same as the
| ears for dentificat ton.
| Wet the cloth and wiring moderate
| ly dry Take two grains from tip, two
| from center and two from the butt
| of each ear and place in proper mum
! bered squares. Turn up the lower
| third Of cloth, then fold own the
upper third. so as TO hold the seed
| firmly in place and prevent mixing.
| Roll this around we'll moistened core
"a stripe Of cloth about four inches
| wide and long enough to make a COM
| pact roll one and One-half or two
inches thick). Then bury in a bucket
| or box of damp sawdust or sand, and
place in a moderately warm place for
five DAYS les condition will then de-
termine the advisa bilitv Of using the
corn for seed. Use your common
sense. You know vigorous root and
stalk sprouts Take no chances on
weak vitality.
The tester just described is very
similar to the rag doll tester. Foi
this, secure strong sheetinc and teal

and J 10 feet long. Mark the cloth
