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 re-
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. If the beets
are not delivered Immediately after
they are removed from the ground.
further loss can be prevented by cOv-
ering them to prevent drying. If the
weather is cold they should be suffi-
GENTLY protected SO that the roots will
not be frosted.
Labor Is one of the principal fac
tors influencing acreage, as more la
Dor is required in the growing Of sugar
beets than most other farm crops.
From al 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 doing sat.
~isfactory work. These implements,
which likely will 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.

From the United States Department OF
A~griculture.)
The nit silo, not a makeshift II prop
erly built, has become a 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
ut a small cost, and employing a home
made hosting apparatus for lifting the
silage, can build a pit silo Of $50 to $50
tons capacity at a cash outlay Of about
SIS. cement being the chief item Of ex-
penditure. AS q guide to those who
wish to build such silos, a publication
Of the United States Department of Ag-
ricul.ure, Farmers Bulletin 1926, "Pit
Silor' gives the details of construction
and drawings illustrating the process
and methods of making hoists.
Many Benefits Of Silo.
Properly constructed pit silos, requir-
Ing little material not already on the
average farm, should last indefinitely,
and the upkeep is small. The cost Of
n masonry silo is often prohibitive 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; silage is
preserved fully as well or better than
in above-ground types; the silage is
frozen; filling is a much less *
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 it is ~impracticable and even dam
gerous to make a pit silO In certain
types Of soil, a 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, 5 or 6 feet, at least, should be
left between the edge of the pit and the
barn. Farmers Bulletins 461, 1.-THE Use
of Concrete on the Farm" and $50,
Homemade Silos." give valuable in
formation and detailed instructions
concerning the mixing, handling ard re-
inforcing 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 a swing
ing crane, a windlass, pulleys and rope,
and a 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
a 4 by finch piece for the boom. Only
sound timbers should be used. The

which the crane turns can be pur-
