MINERAL NATTER AND
THE SQUARE MEAL

While in attendance at a Farmers
Institute the writer was greatly i'm
pressed with the intense interest
shown in the discussion of the bal
anced ration for the domestic animal
Never had she witnessed, at any pub
lie meeting, SO great anxiety for the
balancing of ration of the human
animal. One phase Of the discussion
in which there was particular inter-
est, was that bearing on supply of
mineral matter. In the planning of
the family dietary it is no less es-
sential that attention be given to the
food sources of the many mineral
constituents. if the welfare of the
human animal is to be safe-guarded.
If the family dietary is to take into
account the welfare of the child. then
it is especially important that the
supply of mineral matter is not left
to chance. Recent dietary studies in
dicate that there should be a generous
supply of foods in which these sew
eral elements, iron PHOSPHORUS and
are egg yolk, lean meat, spinach,
fruits and cereal grains. Generous
use of milk. legumes, celery, cabbage
and cereals will insure an adequate
supply of calcium salts to the body.
Phosphorus contained in the egg is
considered to be more completely
utilized than that derived from any
other source. 1t should be remem-
bered too. that the foods named as
the generous source of supply of one
mineral contituents.-Igna NJ. K ALL

UNNECESSARY LOSS IN
SUGAR BEET YIELDS

Washington, d. c., July 14.-varia-
tions 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 eN-
ception of Russia. than that of any
of the other beet-producing countries.
In Germany the average in 14.S4 tons;
in Russia, S.93: and in the United
States l0.17. Climatic conditions. the
character of the soil, and the relative
cost of labor and land which prevents
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 into con-
sideration. in the same localities. on
soil of the same character, nuder cul-
tural methods that seem identical.
there is the widest range in the yield.
1t is no uncommon thing to find one
farmer hauling 20 tons of beets from
each acre to the factory when his
neighbor can barely muster Z or S.
The Department of Agriculture's in
vestigations into this problem. which
are published in Department Bulletin
No. 2SS, were carried on in Utah for
period of three years. The investi-
gators reached the conclusion that
the variations in yield were due to
deficiencies of stand. Previous inves.
tigations had shown that the ideal
stand for sugar beets may be taken
as $4,000 plants per acre. the result
of leaving beets inches apart in
rows 20 inches apart. A larger stand
than this under ordinary conditions
causes overcrowding. smaller stand
means waste of land. 1t was found.
however. that without actually count
ing the plants. it was impossible to
distinguish between stands of so. co,
or so per cent of this standard.
The loss occurred in the termination
stand before thinning, during the pro-
cess of thinning and blocking, and
tween the thinning and harvesting.
In the Departments experiment. 1t
was found that the termination stand
sustained 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 off
disease. or the ravages of such pests
as flea beetles. cut worms. or wire
worms.
The greatest single source OF loss
in the stands. however, was found
to be improper thinning. In this
this work is usually done by
= poor class OF hired labor or else by

contract 1t is seldom efficiently
the same pay whether it is properly
or improperly done. The investi-
gators found that almost invariably
the space left between the plants was
greater than the farmer intended it
to be, although this fact was not
apparent after the plants attained a
moderate growth. The average loss
from this source was estimated at
approximately 25 per cent.
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 seven per cent. Thus, in the ex-
perimental plots, which furnished the
data for the investigations, there was
total deficiency of over so per cent
in the stand, with a corresponding
decrease in the yield.
The remedy for this loss appears
to be greater care. In particular, the
illumination of contract work is rec
commended, since it is hardly possible
to expect contract laborers to exer-
cises the proper amount of care and
discretion. On one European fran
which is worked on scientific princi-
pies. 40 cents additional per acre is
paid the men if $4,000 beet plants
remain in the field after the second
cultivation. The beets must be eleven
inches apart in the row.
The significance of this investiga-
tion in the United States is increased
by the fact that it was carried on in
district where the average yield
per acre is II tons as compared with
an average of the entire country of
only 1O17. If losses of such size can
be found in region where beet cul-
ture is obviously more advanced than
in most other regions, the total loss
throughout the entire United States
must be enormous. This total is to
great extent preventable, for. as
has been shown, it is due less to nat
ural conditions than to defects in
cultural methods.
