AMERICAN SEED FOR
SUGAR BEET INDUSTRY

Prepared by United States department of
agricultural
No grave difficulties, 1t is believed,
stand In the way of the domestic pro-
duction Of high quality sugar beet seed
sufficient In quantity to meet the needs
Of this country. Until the outbreak of
the European war, however, the Amer
lean beet sugar industry was almost
entirely dependent for its seed supply
upon Europe Since that time EFFORTS
have been made to increase the produc-
ton of sugar beet seed In the United
States, but the supply is still SO limited
that several American beet sugar fac
tories were idle last year for this rea-
son.
For this condition of affairs there
seems to be no good reason. In practi-
cally all instances American grown seed
has been found to be superior to the
imported. From an agricultural point
Of view, the whole problem appears to
be largely matter of planting greater
acreages In this country. That this has
not been done before is due almost en-
tirely to the low price at which seed
could be obtained from abroad.
The production of beet seed requires
two seasons of growth. The mature
beets resulting after one season from
the seed must be harvested, the leaves
removed and the roots carefully sliced
with dirt covering to preserve them
In dormant condition through the
winter. These roots are planted at the
earliest possible time the following
spring and rapidly produce seed stalks
from three to six feet In height. These
are harvested with a sickle at the
proper time and the seed carefully
threshed. cleaned and cured.
Because of the fact that little atten-
ton has hitherto been given in this
country to the production of sugar beet

SOUR MILK FOR CHICKS.
Poultry Raiser Found Il Valuable In
Preventing Bowel Trouble.

Poultry Raiser Found II Valuable In
Preventing Bowel Trouble.
About two years ago read recon-
mendation for using sour milk as a
food for young chicks. We have ex-
perimented along that line and can
truthfully say that the results have
been highly satisfactory. But instead
of feeding the raw clabber we scald 1t
and make 1t into cheese, writes a cor
respondent Of the Farm and Fireside.
In this form II is more convenient to
feed, and the chicks like 1t better The
beneficial effect seems to be equal to
that claimed for 1t in clabber form.
In 1915 we fed all our young chicks
the clabber cheese as q regular part of
their ration until they were about
three weeks old, then gradually substi-
tuted whole wheat. but continued the
clabber cheese until the chicks were Of
continued an occasional feed Of the
clabber cheese whenever the milk sup
ply allowed. Not for years was our
success as good In raising chicks. We
lost not more than one or two from
bowel trouble.
With our 1915 poultry operations we
were also successful. but our losses
from bowel trouble among the chicks
was somewhat greater than in 1915. I
believe the reason was owing TO scant
supply of milk and the unusually rainy
season.
It is relief to have hit on the right
idea for preventing the serious loss
from bowel trouble among chicks, and
we cannot speak too highly in praise

seed, there are no distinct types of
sugar beets In the country. In many
fields, whatever the name Of the so
called variety grown may be, from six
to twenty distinct types of beets can be
found. In fact, it is said scarcely two
beets growing side by side In the same
field have closely related external char
acters of leaf or root, and the quality
Of roots varies In both sugar and
purity.
The first step in the development of
a permanent beet seed industry in this
country, therefore, Is the development
Of true types with reference to both
sugar beets and seed stalk production.
AS the domestic beet sugar industry
now represents an investment of more
than $1O0,0OO,OO0. it is obvious that the
proper development of such an impor-
tant element In it as the seed supply
should receive the greatest attention.

incubation for alfalfa may best be
accomplished by scattering over the
area to be seeded surface soil taken to
the depth Of four or five inches from
another field upon which the crop has
been previously successfully grown.
The soil should be broadcasted at the
rate Of from $50 to 500 pounds per

The spreading should take place on a
