varieties-the unanimous verdict of
all who give it fair trial is that is
is "the best" and business houses in

Prof. E. l. Currier of the Farm Man
agement Department, says:
Sugar beets are very important
crop in the area under study. The
average labor income on beet farms
during the survey year was $976.
Farms not growing beets had labor
income of 1864.
"With the beet farmer putting in
1888 days of productive work on his
farm during the year while the nom
beet farmer puts in 1917 days, the
former receives S5.47 for days work
while the latter receives but S2.75.
Not only does the beet farm pay the
farmer almost twice as much per day
for his labor as the non-beet farm but
it furnishes nany more days of pro-
ductive work.
"From the standpoint of financial
returns there is probably no crop
grown in the region that pays as well
as the beet crop. The beet crop ap-
pears to fit into the general farming
system in this region very well and
offers an opportunity for developing
a pretty well-organized and well-bal-
anced farm business"

Principles Involved in Crop Rotation


From "Soils and Fertilizers by
Prof. H. S. Snyder.
There are fundamental principles
with which all rotations should con-
form, namely:
L. Deep and shallow rooted crops
should alternate.
2. Humus-consuming and humus-
producing crops should alternate.
3. Crops should be rotated so as
to make the best use of the preceding
crop residue.
4. Crops should be rotated so as to
secure nitrogen indirectly from at
mospheric sources and to promote de-
sirable bacterial activities in the soil.
5. Crops should be rotated so as to
keep the soil in the best mechanical
condition.
6. In arid regions crops should be
rotated so as to make the best use Of
the. soil water.
7. An even distribution Of farm la
Dor should be secured by rotation.
8. Farm manures should be used in
the rotation where they will do the
most good.
9. Rotation should be planned so as
to produce feed for stock, and so that
every year there will be some import
ant crop to be sold.
10. Rotation should be planned so
as to properly control weeds and In
sect pests as well as fungous s;5,G-es.
