Sugar Beets Ample for Two Years;
Industry Growing in This Country

to about 40 per cent of the countrys
ing surplus of seed which could be
held over to insure the next years
planting.
In 1919 this carry-over supply
dropped to a dangerously low figure
because of inability to obtain seed
from Europe: and the beet sugar pro-
ducing industry in the United States
faced a bare sufficiency of seed for
planting in 1920. Fortunately, the
importation of sugar-beet seed began
again with the first ship to come
from German ports after the close of
the war. In September, 1919, 1,795,-
500 pounds of beet seed came into
this country, and by April l, 1920,
15,067,078 pounds in all had been re-
ceived, or about 100000 pounds
more than the normal annual impor-
tation. The estimated surplus from
the 1919 planting was 1850, 900
pounds, and the domestic production
that year was 100000 pounds, so
that the total supply of seed on April
l, 1920; was about 35,300,000 pounds.
Allowing about 100000 pounds OF
this for planting the commercial
sugar-beet acreage in 1920, there
should be a surplus of 100000
pounds plus the 1920 seed production
to apply against conditions which
may prevail in 1921 and 1922. In
these figures no allowance has been
made for possible deterioration of i'm
ported seed damaged en- route to the
United States or in storage.

How Much Must an Acre
Yield to Be Profitable?

Is the per acre yield Of your farm
sufficiently high to make satisfactory
returns on the capital and labor ex-
pended in producing crops on it?
This is one of the sixteen questions
that the United States department of
agriculture urges every farmer to
answer for himself in determining
whether or not he is managing his
farm efficiently. In a number of
farm management studies in the
south, on small farms averaging
tWenty-nine acres of crops, the de-
partment found under pre-war con-
ditions that an average yield of 800
pounds of cotton an acre is required
to make an average farm income
barely sufficient to pay fair rental
for the use of the land and give the
and management. Not until the
group Of farms with an average Of
l21 cropped acres was reached did
an average yield of less than 215
pounds of cotton an acre make an aV-
erage farm income sufficient for. rent
and the farmers wages. The inf1u-
ence of yield on cost of production
was just as marked with corn and
other crops as with cotton.
Full details as to this and the 9TH
err fifteen points involved in efficient
farm management are embodied IN

culture circular SO, Testing Farms

discriminating Harmful
Animals Profitable

Live stock and wool valued at
$40, 0O0,O0 are lost annually through
the depredations of wild animals.
The value of farm produce and for
age destroyed each year by rodents
is approximately $300,00O,000. 1t is
estimated that the households of
this country sustain an annual loss
from rats and mice of 5000, 100000.
These figures sum up certain of
the larger losses due to destructive
wild life which the biological sur
vey OF the, United States depart
ment of agriculture is engaged in
reducing as rapidly as possible. A
force of between 400 and 500 expe-
rienced hunters was employed by
this bureau during the. past year to
kill predatory : animals, many of
which were infected with rabies;
thisd isease is often spread from
the wild creatures to domestic ami

Ten Essentials Listed =:
For Beef RaiSerS

General Improvement in the type
and quality Of beef animals the
country over is one of the means
urged by the United States depart
ment of agriculture for bringing
down the high cost of meat to the
consumer and, at the same time in
creasing the profit of the producer.
Some of the most essential items in
growing beef on the farm, specialists
Of the department say, are:
Plenty of pasture and feed.
The right kind of cows-those that
will produce good calves regularly.
A good, purebred registered bull
sistent1y.
A large, calf crop. This means
that all cows shall drop calves, and
that the calves shall be properly
cared for at birth.
Proper care of the breeding herd
and the calves.
Selection of good heifer calves
to replace old or inferior ones.
Prevention of disease among the
breeding herd and the younger
stock.
Shelter sufficient to protect the
cattle from both severe cold and
extremely hot weather.
A practical knowledge of fatten-
ing cattle for market.

Gives Aid in Marketing
PIurehren i've Stock

The live stock farmer having only
a few pure-bred animals for sale at
rather infrequent intervals often has
difficulty in disposing of his surplus
profitably, often because purchasers
do not know what he has to sell.
The bureau of markets, United
States department of agriculture, in
cooperation with the state, county
and local agencies, has inaugurated
"a plan which assists buyers in OBJ
tanning information regarding the To-
cation, character and number of
pure-bred animals. The success of
this plan is dependent on the CO.
operation of the breeders in a county
or community with each other and
with the county agent. The latter's
Office should be the headquarters for
the association. In this office should
be filed complete information regard
ing the pure-bred animals belonging
to the members. Through the coun-
ty agent, according to the plan, the
state agent in marketing and the
bureau of markets at Washington
are kept in touch with the supply.
These agencies likewise keep in touch
with the. buyers and so are able to
serve an increasing number of buy
ers and sellers effectively.

The supply of sugar-beet seed in
the United States is ample for two
years normal requirements, accord
ing to close observers in the bureau
of markets. United States department
of agriculture. and with normal
domestic production of seed during
1920 and 1921 the United States
should be independent Of further i'm
ports to meet the requirements in
1922.
The sugar-beet seed growing indus
try in this country is firmly estab-
lished and is gradually increasing.
In 1918, 100000 pounds of sugar
beet seed was produced; in 1919, g.
7000 900 pounds; and the prospective
production for 1920 is over 100000
pounds. However, because of prob
able increased acreage of commercial
sugar beets, which would increase
the annual consumption of seed, and
because of possible deterioration of
some lots of seed, which would re-
duce the surplus, it may be a num-
Der of years before the domestic seed
production equals the total require
ments.
The United States has always been
dependent upon other countries for
the larger part of the sugar-beet seed
required for planting. In nine-year
period ending June 80, 1918, an an
nual importation of 12,500,000 pounds
Of seed was made. This quantity

Seed Logged off Land
Soon After Burning Over

In preparing logged-off land for
pasture, the time of seeding depends
upon when the land is burned over,
according to, specialists of the Of
fee of farm management of the Unit
cd States department of agriculture.
If the burn occurs during July. Au-
gust, or early in September, the seed
should be sown in the early fall be-
fore the ashes have been settled by
the rains.
If seeded in the unsettled ashes,
the first rains that come will cover
the seed sufficiently to secure good
termination. If the burn occurs SO
late in the fall that the seed cannot
be sown until during October, 1t IS
best to SOW the grasses then and
wait until in February or March to
sow the clover,
The heaving of the soil during. the
late fall and winter, condition
caused by alternate thawing and
freezing, often. destroys young clover
unless it is sown early enough in

way it may be reseeded during Feb

Cover the potatoes with soil or

Crop Rotation Recommended
BY carefully following thees direc-
lions, slips free of disease may be
grown, but they may still become
diseased if they are planted on
ground where diseased sweet pota-
toes were raised the previous year.
Therefore it is necessary to plant the
slips on new ground or on ground
where sweet potatoes have not been
grown for several years.

VIM Is a Bows Club?

The boy of today is the farmer OF
tomorrow. He is passing through
the changeable, character-bu1ld1ng.
and self-deve1oping period of life.
Therefore, every opportunity should
be given him to make an all-round
well-developed, business-like man,
capable of successfully managing
and operating his business affairs
in later life. SO says e. o. Williams.
assistant agent of boys club work
in South Carolina, who mentions the
following as some of the objects of
boys club work:
l. To enlarge the vision of the
boy and to give him definite pur-
poses at a very important period OF
his life.
2. To interest the boy in improv-
ed agricultural methods at period
when he can most easily be reached.
3. To assist in the development
of the spirit of cooperation In the
family and in the community.
4. To dignity the vocation Of
farming, to emphasize it's possibili-
ties, and thus encourage the boys to
remain on the farm.
5, To emphasize the Importance
of keeping farm records and &C
counts.
8. To make of the boy a, demon
strator of the facts of scientific agTi-
culture.
Z. To develop leadership and re-
sponsibiIity in cooperation and or
ganization.
s. To give him opportunity CT
exercising his own judgment to solve
his own problems.
