prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
One of the first requisites of per-
manent and satisfactory beet-sugar In
dustry is an adequate supply Of seed
Of good quality. 1t has been scarce
and as result the production OF
sugar-beet seed in the United States
has made rapid progress during the
past few years. The present annual
requirement in this country is approx
mately 100000 pounds, Of which
about so per cent is now produced
within the nations borders. With the
continued development Of the sugar
beet industry more and more seed is
required each year, but II is confident
ly expected by specialists Of the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture that eventually the total Ameri-
can requirement will be grown In this
country. In order to encourage the
growing Of sugar-beet seed and assist
In its development along proper lines,
the department recently published
Farmers Bulletin 1852, Growing
Sugar Beet Seed in the Rocky Noun
tain States"
Investment Required Large.
The development Of this industry
has been greatest in the irrigated Sec
lions Of Colorado, Montana, Utah and
Idaho, and special reference is given
in the bulletin to the growing of sugar
beet seed In this region. The industry
is best adapted to large operators, the
investment required for special ma
chinery being so great that the bust
ness is not really profitable on less
than 100 acres. 1t is to the growing
Of sugar beets on a large scale that
the instructions In the bulletin refer.
The sugar-beet plant is biennial
and the roots do not, under normal
conditions, send up seed stalks and
develop seed until the second year.
Beets of small size are grown the first
season. are stored In pits known as
silos during the winter transplanted

centers and secure the commodities
which he must obtain from these same
centers, specialists Of the United
States Department of Agriculture have
found. There has been a keenly felt
need In many rural communities for
such means of transportation.
While in most places trucks are
owned and operated either by the
farmers for their personal benefit, or
by private individuals who hold them
generally at an agreed rate, 1t is be-
lieved that many rural communities
would find 1t more economical to form
motor truck cooperative associations.
Many farmers who live within 10 to %
miles OF consuming centers raise ber-
ries, fruit, and truck crops, and most
Of them deliver their produce directly
to the city markets. During the busy
season this requires several trips each
week. To make the trip by team means
long, hard day for both men and
horses.
Before undertaking the formation of
such an association, specialists Of the
department advise that survey be
made to determine that an actual need
exists and that there will be sufficient
business to warrant operating at least
one truck. 1t must be remembered,
too, they say, that the personal factor
will in large measure determine the
ultimate success Of the association.

Harvest Of Stocking.
The stocking harvest should be
started before freezing weather. In
northern Colorado II generally begins
by September 20 and is usually COM
pleted with all the beets in the silos
by October 10. Harvesting begins by
moving the tops of the stockings as
close to the ground as practicable. If
the mowers are run first one way and
then back again on the same row,
many leaves will be cut off which
would not be removed II the machines
were run in one direction only. The
beets are then plowed out. and in or
der to do this work so that they may
be gathered more readily, II is fire.
quently desirable TO irrigate before
harvesting, especially II the soil is
dry. If the foliage of the stockings
is thick and heavy, IT pays TO gather
the leaves and silo them for feed. but
usually they are left on the ground TO
dry. In order TO prevent drying out,
stockings must be hauled Immediately
after being pulled.
