The greater part Of the sugar.beet
seed sown each year In the United
States has formerly been imported
from Europe. principally from Ger.
many and Russia. Tho outbreak Of
the present war has cut of this sup
ply and now the problem 10 to find
new sources for obtaining seed. The
growing Of beet seed has been neg.
lected in this country due to . de-
creasing sugar content In beets from
native grown seed and also to the
scarcity OF the hand labor necessary
in harvesting the crop. But now It IL
up to the American farmer to grow
his own seed.
Although most of the factories have
sufficient seed on hand for the
1915 sowing, yet q considerable acre
age has been set to seed beets. The
beets are set out early in spring in
rows four feet apart, the crown Of
the beet being just level with the sur.
face Of the ground.
First q large thick cluster Of leaves
grows up to about 1S inches in height
and then the seed stalks appear.
Some beets send up but one large
branching seed stalk but the major.

tall branching stalks.
The beets are cultivated both ways
