facts in mind. Judging by the expert

to expect any material reduction In
the cost of farm operations per acre

is safe to expect to be able to increase

able extent, and, at the same time, the
amount of crops which one man car

Furthermore, ii should be remember.
ed that the cost of doing the work
with a tractor in most cases cannot be
directly compared with the cost OF
doing 1t with horses, since on far1ns
where tractors are used a number OF
horses generally are retained, and any
comparison, therefore, must be made
between the cost of operating the
farm with horses alone and the cost
Of operating with the tractor and o
certain number of horses. Not in
frequently horses stand idle while the
tractor is being used for field work
because there is not sufficient hell
available TO use them at the SAME
time. and in such cases part of the
cost Of their maintenance must b,
considered when figuring the cost OF
farm operations, since they are as
much a part of the farm power plant
as Is the tractor.
Not only should the relative ex
pense of operation with the two meth
DDS be considered, but also the rela
tive results. The increased croI
acreage and consequent increase IL

tractor will often make possible may

HELP SUPPLY OF
MEAT and SUGAR
Live Stock and Sugar Beets
Make Most Profitable Com
bination for Farmer.
INCREASE GROWERS PROFITS
Animals Utilize Tops and Pulp to Best
Advantage-Manure Can Be Used
to Enrich SoiI-other Feeds
Are Necessary.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of A~gricultureO
Sugar-beet growers should utilize
more live stock. The stock utilizes
by-products Of sugar-beet growing
the tops and pulp-and increases the
growers profits, but there is another
reason-the nation needs more meat
as we'll as sugar. The combination OF
stock raising and sugar-beet growing,
while beneficial to farmers will also
benefit the nation. Live stock on the
sugar-beet farm constitutes an impor-
tant factor in success of beet grow
ing from two standpoints: O) The
utilization of beet tops and pulp to
the best advantage, and (2) the pro-
duction of stable or %barnyard manure,
which can be used to enrich the soil.
The feeding operations should be To-
Gated on the farms where the best
tops are produced. When practicable,
the pulp should be handled with frame
and fed. There should be available
labor for handling the stock, and 9th
err feeding stuffs used in combination
with the pulp and tops should be OBJ
tainable.

Good Feed for Stock.

Sugar-beet tops and pulp are good
feed for many kinds of live stock in
Guiding chickens, hogs, sheep, cattle,
and, to some extent, horses. Gener-
ally, the tops and pulp are fed to
sheep and cattle. They may be pas
tured off, q process which consists in
turning the live stock into the beet
field after the beets have been bar
vested and the roots removed. The
tops are left scattered over the
ground, and this method of feeding
results in the ground being more or
less trampled. Sheep especially are in
clined to travel more generally in
paths, thereby trampling the ground
%unevenly. In no case should the pas
turing of the tops be permitted when
the ground is wet, since the ground
itself would be seriously injured by
trampling in that condition and many
of the tops would be wasted by being
trampled into the ground. While live
stock thrives on beet tops and pulp,
other feed must be used in finishing
the animals for the market. Beet
tops. especially the crowns, contain
considerable mineral matter, which is
beneficial to live stock, but it should
not be fed in too large quantities.
Aside from p%asturing the tops, they
are sometimes allowed TO cure partly
and are then gathered into piles,
hauled to the feed yard and fed in
racks. This is a much more economi-
cal method than pasturing, but it in
wolves the additional expense of gath
ering and hauling. The tops may also
be used as ensilage. When chopped
with straw, cornstalks or other rough.
age excellent silage is produced. Both
the tops and the pulp are excellent, for
