PREPARATIONS FOR BEET HARVEST
SHOULD Be MADE EARLY

1t is not too early to give some thought to the
coming beet harvest, which is only a few weeks away.
In the first place, if you are not supplied with labor
for topping, be sure that your ieldman has your re-
quirements at once, so that no opportunity for securing
satisfactory labor may be overlooked.
The weather in the fall is cool, and the possibility
of some storms makes it necessary that labor houses
be in condition to make the labor comfortable. A
number of labor houses are in need of repairs and this
work should be done promptly so labor can be received
at any time of arrival
If you are going to build a new beet rack, or if
the old one is in bad shape, take the first opportunity
of getting this work out of the way. Perhaps your
puller needs new points or other repairs; the wagons
may need overhauling, or the harness require mending
so as to take care of the heavy loads of beets. 1t is
sure that the work horses will need careful conditioning
before going into the heavy work of harvest.
Give all these matters your attention ahead of time
so that when the dumps open you are READY TO GO.
The beet crop Is now making a splendid growth.
Keep the beets growing continuously by careful atten-
ton to irrigation.
