BALTIMORE. Sept. 20.-Plans to

The funds will be used to aid i'm

Increased scrap deliveries, ample

Spring INFLAMMATION
in Sugar Beets

Development Foundation

rules that might apply to every farm and
every field. Procedures and techniques will
have to vary for local conditions but GER
tain broad recommendations can be made
that nave been followed with successful
results.
The Beet Sugar Development foundation
in 1947 conducted experiments in Utah,
Idaho, Colorado and Michigan to get the
answers to several questions. One of these
had to do with seeding rates. In this test,
plots were planted at three different rates
of seedlings to 8 seeds per foot Tin 20-inch
rows this would be approximately 1a to
2 pounds per acres), 6 to 8 seeds per foot
g to 4 pounds) and 10 to II seeds per foot
9 to 6 pounds).
Tests Compare Methods
These plots were thinned by the old
'stoop' labor method of hand blocking and
thinning also by long handled hoe thinning
and by mechanical thinning.
Without exception. each one of these
tests indicated that farmers can expect
the same yields from mechanically
fhinned beeis planted al the heavy
seeding rate of about | seed per inch
as they can from hand blocking and
thinning of the 8 TO A seeds per foot.
This means that there need be no fear
OF reduction of yield through mechani-
cal thinning when 1t is lone properly.
A summary of these tests, which included
"a plots in each treatment, shows that
the hand blocking and thinning of 8 to 4
seeds per foot gave a yield of 1858 tons
and an average sugar content Of 1851 per-
cent as compared with long handled thin
ming Of 19.49 tons for the 3 to 4 seeds per
foot planting and 1873 sugar. Mechanically
thlnned plots on the 10 to IL seeds per foot
rate with blocks spaced each II inches and
merely weeded gave a yield of 1857 tons
per acre and a sugar content of 1888 per-
cent.
SO Percent Labor Saving
The tests were all well conducted and in
dictate the possibility of machine production
in the spring. The most startling fact OBJ
served, however, was that the machine
methods reduced the manhours required
by nearly 30 percent, as follows.
Hours per acre
Hand blocking and thinning -. .22.96
Long handled hoe thinning ..... 1903
Cross thinning 1901
There IS no reason why many farmers
cannot achieve the same result.
Another test showed that it doesn't pay
to leave the blocks larger and trim dowr
to almost single plants later by hand. Beets
that were cross thinned at Pinch centers
made an average yield of 1857 tons, while
the yield for those cross blocked and fielc
trimmed was 19.34 tons. Though this wa.
little difference in yield, there was a diff
ference of nearly six hours an acre in favor

of the regular hand labor rates for the sea-
son. There at least 10000 acres will be
raised this year almost entirely by machine,
with the exception Of possibly one wedding
by field workers.

A playwright, be he fiedgling or
veteran, encounters almost as much
difficulty in finding a happy title
for his new broadway show as he
does in contriving thes plot of the
play.
He writhes over and changes
those few words which will be in
lights and the trade mark Of his
literary handiwork with as much
fervor as he spent in perfecting
that all-important exit line for the
second-act curtain.
The current Rialto hit, "T11e Silver
Whistle" is typical example. With
Jose Ferrers unrestrained and ad-
mirable performance of fast
talking, short change pitchman who
brings humor and gay illusion into
an old folks charity home,. it is
one of the most heart-warming
plays on Broadway. Yet its original
title was "Oliver Erwenter," which
sounds like a staid, dull biography.
Out of a Doodle.
The title was changed to the gay
sounding THE Silver Whistle" be-
cause the author, Robert McEnroe,
was doodling on a piece OF paper
during rehearsals and doodled "a
piece of blank verse which included
the words: "Silver Whistle" Thus
g. title to fit a play.
That everlasting comedy about an
invisible rabbit, Harvey" had its
title troubles, too, when it first
opened on November l, 1914. This
Mary Chase folderol about an
amiable drunk who thinks his best
and only friend is a giant-sized
rabbit was first entitled THE White
Rabbit" The handle was appro-
pirate, but Producer Brock Pember-
ton soon discovered that his audi
ences included too many juveniles
who were under the impression they
were going to see a Mickey Mouse
type Of show.
The title was changed to 1.-THE
Pooka," after scholars had delved
into folklore and found that a
"pooka" is a myth Of logical Irish
animal which resembles smaller
animals but which, in fact, is ex-
tremely large. "Pooka,' they added
was the derivation for the character
Puck in Shakespeare's midsummer
Nights Dream"
So, they tried THE Pooka." But
playgoers in Boston, where the
comedy was to be seen next, couldn't
pronounce the word without giving
it an unappetizing accent which
made them embarrassed.
