's'achine Designed by Californian
for Doing This Hard and
Expensive Task.
INJURY AVOIDED BY WHEELS
As Beet 10 Pulled From Ground Knives
on. Each Side Cut of Tops Of
Leaves-Easy to Harvest
Profitable Crop.

Pulling sugar beets is one of the
big Jobs which confront the grower
Of this very profitable crop. 1t is lot
of work, and work that takes time and
energy at least, and often costs money
as well. A man In the beet fields of
California has designed machine
which he thinks is a wonder for doing
this hard and expensive task. Instead
of using inclined rods, on the principle
OF the gathering points of a corn bind
sr, for pulling the beets. this man uses
padded wheels for his purpose.
Cross Sectional View.
The upright V-shaped portion of the
accompanying illustration Is cross
sectional view through the padded
wheel pullers. The axles of these
wheeled pulIers extend down to the
inner hubs Of the main driving wheels
of the machine, and are here driven
or revolved by these main wheels.
Grouters or diggers go along ahead
OF the pulling wheels. on each side
Of the row of beets. and loosen the
ground around them so that they will
be easier to pull when the pulling
wheels Of the machine engage them.
From the drawing It will be noticed
that the pulling wheels are set so the
lower portions are much closer to-
gether than are the upper portions.

A line from n popular song-"Theres
Long, Long Trail A-winding"-ap-
piles to at least one of the many and
devious paths which old man ii. G. l..
treads I'm his effort to make living
complex and expensive for the average
person.
The particular byway referred to is
that which wholesale shipments of
food follow In their costly travel from
the railway car to the retailer. A car
load of fruit or vegetables can be sped
half way across the continent I'm
day or two, but on arriving In the city
where the food IL to be retailed, the
shipment starts on winding trail
which too often adds little but I'M
necessary costs and delay.
Eliminating Expensive carting.
This expensive shunting and hauling
Of foodstuffs from point TO point in the
cities and the spoilage which the I'M
necessary handling causes are the big
items centralized wholesale terminals
eliminate. The bureau of markets,
United States department Of agricul-
ture, has been on this trail. literally,
following shipments step by step to
determine how much expense Is add
ed to the cost Of food by unnecessary
handling between the shipper and the
retailer. The route followed by car
load of peaches entering middle
Western city over railroad not pro.
vided with team tracks well illustrates
this phase Of the distribution problem.
This car had to be switched from
the railroad on which It entered the
city, through the crowded switch
yard. to another track which is ac-
cesslble TO teams. Here II stood until
the receiving wholesalers transfers
could finish another job. After this
delay two wagons were drawn up be-
side the car, In turn. and were loaded
with the peaches. Thereupon they
started for the wholesale house which
was two miles away.
The transfers route lay through the
most congested part Of the city, the
wholesale district being close to the
busy retail section. The wagons were
full hour and quarter making the
trip. Meanwhile, the sun beat down
on the peaches and the city's dust and
dirt filtered In through the crates so
that the fruit was far from being as
fresh and attractive as when taken
from the car. Moreover. the journey
so jostled and bruised the fruit that
some of 1t had to be sold at dis
count.
Though the wholesalers were partic-
ularly anxious to get the peaches de-
livered TO their sales room on the day
