GROWING CHIC0RY FOR PROFIT.

Several readers inquire a. TO the
possibilities of growing chicory, now
that the European product has been
cut of, OF its importation greatly re-
duced.
As we have previously advised. In
growing any new crop begin in q
small way. and increase the acreage
and production as results warrant.
Opportunities Of a single season may
be missed In this way. to be sure. but
on the other hand large losses will be
avoided.
Large quantities OF chicory are
imported from Germany. Belgium and
France. The war will. no doubt,
greatly reduce the foreign supply. In
the United States the bulk Of the
chicory Is raised In Michigan.
The industry here has been de-
veloped In the ne!ghborhood Of a fac
tory for preparing the roots. the fac
tory contracting with the grower to
take the product Of q specified num-
Der Of acres at Q stipulated price a
ton for the roots. Six dollars a ton
or thereAbout 10 tho customary price
and six ton to the acre Is the aver
age yield, possibly a little higher some
seasons Careful culture Is required
and under ordinary conditions the
profit from growing this crop cannot
be large.
Chicory has a long tap root, some
what resembling the parsnip; other
varieties have q more rounded root,

between November I. 1914. and May
Is, 1918. and there seems TO BE- little
prospect Of more coming In before
seeding time his fall. This will re-
suit in only a small proportion OF the
normal supply of hairy vetch seed
being available for this years sowing
While the domestic production of
hairy vetch seed has increased for a
number OF years II has not increased
in proportion to the demand. and the
price OF the seed has constantly ad-
vanced as its use has become more
general.
Farmers who have hairy vetch
growing are urged by the United
States Department Of Agriculture 10
save their W supply OF seed th!.
year so they may be able 10 continue
the use OF this valuable crop. II Is
not to be expected, however. that
prices higher than those of last year
will be obtained. as the high price OF
the seed under normal conditions in
zen years has been the chief fac
tor in limiting tho use OF hairy vetch
in the past.
In harvesting the seed crop II
