After thinning there was further
loss in the field before the harvest
Some plants were destroyed by the
hand hoe, some by the horses, or by
carelessness with the cultivator. The
total loss from these sources was es.
timated at an average Of approximate
ly per cent. Thus in the expert.
mental plots, which furnished the
data for the investigations, there was
total deficiency of over 80 per cent
in the stand with a corresponding de.
crease In the yield.
The remedy for this loss appears
to be greater care. In particular the
elimination Of contract work Is rec.
commended, since 1t is hardly posi-.
BILE to expect contract laborers to ex.
ercise the proper amount Of care and
discretion. On one European farm
which Is worked on scientific princi.
pies, 40 cents additional per acre is
paid the men IL $4,000 beet plants
remain in the field after the second
cultivation. The beets must be elev.
en- inches apart in the row.
The significance of this investiga.
ton in the United States is increas.
ed by the fact that It was carried on
in district where the average yield
per acre is seventeen tons as compar.
ed with an average of the entire coun,
try Of only 1911. II losses OF such
size can be found in a region where
beet culture is obviously more ad'
vanced than In most other regions,
the total loss throughout the entire
United States must be enormous.
This total is to a great extent ire
ventable, for, as has been shown, 1t
Is due less to natural conditions than
to defects in cultural methods.

Big Sensation in
British Politics
Started by David Lloyd Georges An
souncemsnt About viscount Hal

London, July 10. The official an
nouncement made by David Lloyd
George, the minister OF munitions, on
July 7, regard .ng Viscount HalJane,
eI-Lord chancellor and secretary of
war, and the question OF supply of
munitions has started a political sen
sation in the United Kingdom OF the
first order and It Is being made the
most OF by the Northcliffie press to
prevent what is declared to be in
trigue to get Lord Haldane back In.
TO the cabinet.
Premier Asqu.th's remarkable trib-
ute to viscount Haldane which was
read at meeting of the National Lib
eral club July 8, was regarded as
paving the way for some attempt Of
this kind. Although most people take
the view that It is inadvisable dur.
ing the progress OF the war to have
these personal questions threshed out
publicly, q small body of politicians
is trying to force a parliamentary dis
cussion.

for Kirkcaldy Burghs, has given no
tice that he will ask Premier Asqu'th
In the house of commons on Monday
whether Lord Haldane's disclosures Of

the premier's authority and 1t seems
as though the government will hardly
be able to avoid a public discussion
Premier Asquith will be asked Il
grant one day for a full discussion o.
the causes responsible for deilcienc!
OF munitions.
Lord Haldane has kept a complete
silence regarding the controversy.

More Careful Cultural Methods Would

Washington, d. c., July 12.-vari.
atoms In the yield Of sugar beets un.
der apparently similar conditions are
so striking that the United States De.
partment of Agriculture has recently
conducted an investigation into the
causes for these differences. The
yield of sugar beets per acre in the
United States Is lower, with the ex-
ception of Russ a, than that of any of
the other beet producing countries.
In Germany, the average is 1854 tons,
in Russia, 500, and in the United
States, 1917. Climatic conditions,
the character of the soil, and the
relative cost Of labor and land which
prevents as much work being spent
on each acre as Is done In Europe,
account, Of course, for much Of the
differences in yield. But even when
no such factors have to be taken in
to consideration, in the same local..
ties, on soil Of the same character.
under cultural methods that appear
identical, there Is the widest range in
the yield. It. Is no uncommon thing
to And one farmer hauling twenty tons
of beets from each acre to the fac.
tory when his neighbor can barely
muster seven or eight.
The Department Of Agriculture's in.
vestigations into this problem, which
are published in Department Bulletin
No. 23S, were carried on in Utah for
a period Of three years. The inves.
tigators reached the conclusion that
the variations In yield were due to
deficiencies of stand. Previous In
vestigations had shown that the ideal
stand for sugar beets may be taken
as $4,000 plants per acre, the result
Of leaving beets eight inches apart
in rows twenty inches apart. A lars.
er stand than this under ordinary
conditions causes overcrowdns. q
smaller stand means waste OF land Z.
1t was found. however. that without
actually counting the plants. It was
impossible to distinguish between
stands of so. 60 or 80 per cent Of this
standard.
The loss occurred In the germina.
ton stand before thinning, during the
process Of thinning and blocking, and
during the cultural operations be-
tween thinning and harvesting. In
the Departments experiment, It was
found that the termination stand sus
tanned an average loss Of close to 20
per cent. The causes for this may
be found In poor preparation Of the
seed bed, imperfect operation Of seed
drills, late frosts. the damping OF
disease, or the ravages Of such pest,
as flea beetles, cut worms, or wire
worms.
The greatest single source OF Loss
in the stands, however, was found t.
be improper thinning. In this coun
try this work is usually done by &
poor class Of hired labor or else b,
contract. 1t is seldom efficiently su
pervised and the laborers receive thu
same pay whether II Is properly o.

found that almost invariably tn
space left between the plants wa
greater than the farmer intended
to be, although this fact was not ~
parent after the plants attained
moderate growth. The average los
from this source was estimated to b.
approximately Is per cent.
