inches In a row, the rows being 20
Inches apart. Careless blocking and
thinning is responsible in part for low
yields. This is readily preventable.
Likewise, careless cultivation ere
duces the number of plants and there
by cuts down the tonnage. This is
also preventable. When the beets are
harvested there is frequently unneces-
'sary loss due to the breaking Of the
roots when the beets are lifted, and
by improper topping. II the beets
are not delivered Immediately after
they are removed from the ground,
further loss can be prevented by COW
ering them to prevent drying. If the
weather is cold they should be suffi-
GENTLY protected so that the roots win
not be frosted
Labor is one Of the principal fac
tors influencing acreage, rs more la
Dor is required in the growing Of sugar
beets than most other farm crops.
From all reports labor conditions are
more favorable for sugar beets than
they were a year ago. The depart
ment of agriculture is endeavoring to
meet the labor situation not only by
encouraging the shifting of labor to
the centers where needed, but also by
encouraging the development and pro-
duction Of labor-saving machinery.
This year there will be several beet
harvesting machines on the market,
some of which have been thoroughly
tried out and are capable of deing sat
isfactory work. These implements,
which likely win be in general use In
the near future, will do much to re-
lieve the labor situation and thereby
lend encouragement to the beet-sugar
industry.

This year when farm help is S, linn
tied, there is an urgent need for labor
saving machinery wherever possible.
One man with corn knife by work
ing hard can cut and shock an aver
age of Ia acres day. Two men with
a platform harvester can harvest 4 or
5 acres In the same time and three
men with corn binder In ten-hour
day can cut and shock from Z to Q
acres. Cutting corn by hand ls hard,
disagreeable task, the bulletin points
out, and the time when ii should be-
done Is limited to a few days If the
full feeding value of the corn is to be
retained. Fall blowing, seeding for
winter wheat and digging potatoes
must be done on many farms at about
the same time. In. such cases, the
timeliness and ease of accomplishing
the work are determining factors in
deeld' g the advisability of using corn
cutting machinery.
The corn binder does the best work
when the corn is all standing upright.

PIT SILO NOW A

struCted and Permanent.

Wrom the United States Department Of
Agrieulture.)
The pit silo, not makeshlft If prop
erly built, has become permanent
feed cOnserver on farms Of the Great
Plains region. 1t is inexpensive and
quickly constructed by unskilled labor
during the lull' in farm work just before
fall harvesting. A farmer using his
own labor, obtaining sand and gravel
at a small cost, and employing a home
made hosting apparatus for lifting the
silage, can build pit silo Of $50 to $50
tons capacity at cash outlay Of about
$75, cement being the chief item of ex-
penditure. AS a guide to those who
wish to build such sil0s, a publication
of the United States Department of Ag-
riculture, Farmers Bulletin 825, "Plt
Silos" gives the details of construction
and drawings illustrating the process
and methods of making hoists.
Many Benefits Of siIo.
Properly constructed pit silos, requlr-
ing little material not already on the
average farm, should last indefinitely,
and the upkeep is small. The cost Of
a masonry silo Is often prohibltlve in
the Great Plains region because the
materials must be hauled from distant
railroad points. Wooden silos often
weaken rapidly under the climatic con-
ditions peculiar to this region. Pit ST
los cannot be blown down: siIage is
preserved fully as well or better than
in aboye-ground types; the Stage is
never frozen; filling is a much less ex.
pensive operation; and the labor of get
ting silage out of the pit, which comes
during the period when farm work is
not pressing, is reduced by home made
windlasses or pulley lifts.
As 1t is impracticable and even dam
gerous to make pit silo in certain
types Of soil, farmer should know the
character Of his soil before attempting
to build one, department specialists
say.
Locate the silo near the feed lot If
possible. If feeding is to be done In a
barn, s or 9 feet. at least, should be
left between the edge Of the pit and the
barn. Farmers Bulletins 461, "The Use
of Concrete on the Farm" and $50,
Homemade Silos," give valuable In
formation and detailed instructions
concerning the mixing, handling and re-
inforclng of concrete, the construction
Of walls, and so on.
Simple Type Of Hoist.
The illustration shows one Of the
simple types of homemade hoists in
use. This device consists of swing
ing crane, a windlass, pulIeys and rope,
and box Of some sort for the silage.
A strong 4 by 6-inch piece may be
used for the upright or mast, 2 by 4
or 2 by S-inch pieces for the arm, and
4-by 4-inch piece for the boom. Only
sound tlmbers should be used. The
windlass and the plates of iron ON

Growers of sugar beets are urged to
give special care to this crop during
the present growing season in or
der that the yields may be increased,
and In this way add to the nations
supply of sugar. There Is every indi-
cation that normal crop has been
planted this year in nearly all suga.-
beet states. In the past the average
yield of beets per acre in the United
States has been approximately ten
tons, yet yields of 10 to 20 tons are
not uncommon. If the 100000 acres
Of beets which were planted last year
all had been carried to maturity and
an Increase Of but one ton per acre
had been produced by more careful
methods, we would have had 100000
tons of beets In excess of the normal
crop, which would have added 100000
tons to our supply Of sugar.
AS soon as the beets have from
four to six leaves they should be block
ed and thinned, so that the plants

Usually most satisfactory results are
obtained with a three-horse team, and
sometimes four horses are necessary
when the corn is heavy or the ground
billy. In ordinary yields, one man OPP
Grating the binder win keep two men
busy gathering the bundles and shock
ing them. These three men cutting
and shocking by hand would scarcely
cover more than four acres in day
and II would be necessary to work
much harder than when the corn bind
er Is used, thus the machine requiring
less laborlous work takes from one
half to two-thirds as long to cut Civ
en- acreage.
When the binder is used for cut
ting corn for sllage the labor Of at
least two men will be saved as com
pared to cutting by hand. One binder
will usually be able to cut the corn
as fast as 10 or 14-inch sllage cutter
can handle 1t. A great deal Of time
Is saved in unloading at the cutter,
because the corn is in bundles. which
enables further reduction in the size
Of the harvesting crew.
A bundle elevator attachment to the
corn binder saves further labor. BY
this attachment the bundles of corn
are delivered directly to wagon driv-
en- by the side Of the binder This
method eliminates another man in the
crew. When the bundles are dropped
from the binder to the ground two men
are generally required TO hand them
up as fast as one man can arrange
them on the Wagon. When an eleya-
tor attachment Is used one man usual
~ arranges the bundles on the wagon
as they are delivered from the binder
and another man or boy drives the
team.
The platform harvester Is the most
satisfactory machine when the acre

Before beginning the use of dlsln-
fectant it is essential that certain pre-
liminary work be done in and about
the stable that is TO be treated. The
various surfaces, such as ceilings,
walls, partitions, floors, etc, should be
swept until free from cobwebs and
dust. Any accumulation of filth
should be removed by scraping and
scrubbing, using for this purpose a
wire or other stiff brush and warm
water with a liberal quantity of
washing soda. In some cases the
woodwork may have become softened
and so porous as to be a good me-
dium for the absorption of disease
germs. Such woodwork should be
removed, burned, and replaced with
new material.
Remove Refuse Matter.
All refuse, manure, ETC., from sta
Bile and barnyard should be removed
to a place inaccessible to live stock
and, If possible, be burned or thor

ounces to one gallon of water. II
the floor is Of earth, 1t will doubt
less have become stained with urine
and contaminated to a depth Of sew
eral inches. In such cases four inches
or more Of the surface soil should
be removed and treated as suggested
above for refuse and manure.
Having made ready the field opera
alton, the next consideration should
be the selection and preparation Of
the disinfectant. The fact must not
be overlooked that many agents used
for the destruction of bacteria are
likewise poisonous to animals and
man. In fact, some drugs, although
powerful as germicides, are so poi
sonous as to preclude their general
use In the work Of dislnfection.
Among such, as previously stated, is
bichloride Of mercury, which pos
sesses the power of destroying not
only bacteria, but spores as well. 1t
is therefore essential in deciding upon
an agent to select one having a known
germicidal strength, properties Of sol
utility, and at the same time possess
Ing reasonable degree of safety to
animals and man.
Method Of Application.
The efficiency and economy Of the
work win depend In great measure
upon the methCd of applying the dis
infectant. EcozKny requires that the
disinfecting solution be applied rap
idly; efficiency requires that 1t be

to cover the entire surface reQri-ing
