beets will make a busheL.
The ground should be plowed or
sspaded to q good depth and preferably
in the fall. In the spring rake or
honor the ground until it is firm,
smooth and free from Jumps. The
ground should be kept free from
weeds, but should never be worked
when too wet. The proper time to
work the ground is when it is friable.

beet seed will produce q quantity of

|Eeets sufficient for syrup making and
for table use for the average family.
The seed should not be planted until
the ground is warm and other condi-
tions right for quick termination.
Sugar beets should be planted in
rows about 20 inches apart and may
be dropped either in continuous rows
or in hills. If planted in hills each
hill should contain from three to six
seed balls, and the hills should
be about ten inches apart;
if planted, in solid rows the plants
should be blocked as soon as they are
up. The seed should be covered to a
depth of one-half to one inch. Block
ing consists in cutting out with a hoe
or other instrument a part of the
plants so that the remaining beets
stand in tufts about ten inches apart.
AS soon Is the plants are large
enough to be handled conveniently
they should be thined to one plant in
each hill or tuft.
If the natural water supply is not
sufficient, the beets should be irriga,-
ed when they show signs Of needing
moisture. If the beets wilt during
the day and fail to recover at night
they should be watered. In case of
irrigating a furrow should be made
several inches from the beet row and
the water should be allowed to run
down this furrow until the ground is
thoroughly wet. In no Ease should the
surface Of the ground around the
beets be flooded, since flooding oftens
causes a crust to form around the
beet, cutting off the air supply from
. the root and thereby retarding the
growth of the plant. From one tt
three irrigations should be sufficient

The proper stage for harvesting

pulled leave the ground almost fire,

heavy knife. The roots can then be
made into syrup at once or they may
be stored until a more convenient
time.
By raising a few rows Of sugar
beets in the garden it will help a great
deal in solving the sugar problem.
The syrup produced from beets is
dark in color. This would be obpec-
tionable if the product were placed
on the market, but for home use it
probably would not be regarded as
serious, in view Of the quality Of the
product and the simplicity Of the pro-
cess. The flavor of the syrup is pleas

SKIM MILK-A WAR FOOD.

Fifteen million tons of skim milk

States through traditional methods of
management and ignorance of food
value and possible uses.
Is skim milk worth saving? The
only fair way to answer the question
is to determine.
l. What the body needs from food.
2. Whether or not skim milk meets

food is two fold:

Before I proceed farther. however.
there is another tale Of woe which de-

It with what some uncharitable ones

the woe was on Turner'S head, not mine.
For some reason or another-and l am
inclined to think Mrs. Turner was the
reason-Fred changed his mind about
hiring a man with horse to cultivate
his share Of the potatoes. After his sus-
picious but discerning eye had revealed
to him what havoc a day with the mat

the excuse that his bose couldn't spare
