And yet the conditions of soil as regards "roughage" on new land and a general lack of good tilth, as compared with what is found in Germany, for instance, are all against us and more, rather than less, seed is required here on account of such conditions. Let us hope that the day may hasten when the beet grower may be such a progressive tiller of the soil that he will occupy the same relative position in society that he does in the old country. The following article upon the improved condition of the German farmer over California growers is taken from the Bay City (Mich.) Sugar Beet Culturist and Dairy Advocate; and will be found a valuable contribution upon this subject: W. H. Wallace, manager of the Sebewaing Sugar company, himself a successful beet farmer, a thoroughly posted man in seeds and the Am-which has had no optionrot.

Sugar Beet Culturist and Dairy Advocate; and will be found a valuable contribution upon this subject: W. H. Wallace, manager of the Sebewaing Sugar company, himself a successful beet farmer, a thoroughly posted man in seeds and the American methods of successful seed growing, was sometime ago chosen by a number of the Michigan sugar companies to make a trip to Germany, there to observe the methods employed in beet raising, and particularly to study the methods employed in the raising of beet seed, all of that used by the Michigan companies coming from Germany, and it being the desire of the Michigan companies to furnish their contractors with none but the best that could be procured. There had been a suspicion that the American buyer was being imposed upon, and that our seed was not furnished wholly from farms on which the seed was grown. Mr. Wallace was not stinted as to time, but was sent on a mission and instructed to remain until he became familiar with all those conditions that would be of benefit to the Michigan grower and manufacturer. Mr. Wallace returned recently and last week made a report of his investigations. He finds that the U.S., particularly Michigan, is far ahead of European countries, and especially the districts about Germany where he visited, in point of factories and mechanical equipment, but far behind in all agriculture pertaining to the raising of beets. Their first, and considered the most important, movement in preparing for the crop is deep plowing. Furrows are frequently turned to a depth of from 16 to 18 inches, this being done with steam gang plows. Where the furrow is not turned the subsoiler is run and the soil loosened up to the depth named. The German farmer and gets through the early work before crops come on.

What shall it be in all agriculture pertaining to the raising of beets. Their first, and considered the most important, movement in preparing for the crop is deep plowing. Furrows are frequently turned to a depth of from 16 to 18 inches, this being done with steam gang plows. Where the furrow is not turned the subsoiler is run and the soil loosened up to the depth named. The German farmer plans a regular four years rotation and his land gets this deep plowing once in four years, not every year, and they do not plow deeper than our American farmers for the other general farm crops. His beet crop is his standard crop—that is his money crop, and although there has been an effort in the past few years to curtail the acreage, it has not been successful, the farmers still clinging to the beets regardless of a reduction of prices. Farmers informed Mr. Wallace that if there should come a time when there would be no factories to use up the crop, they would still continue to grow beets to feed to stock, and feel that the benefit to the land would give them ample return for their labors. They build a foundation for their crops from barnyard manure and every German farmer feels that it is a crime to waste any manure made on his farm. Their barns are so constructed that all the manure, and drainage, may be saved. Each farmer has a system of saving his manure so that he always has one year old manure for use, and does not have to draw out fresh manure has had no opportunity to The rotation in general use is beets, barley and then seed The German has bred a barter following beets that is said far ahead of any of our barleys from which they obtain very yields. They use commercial zers only as a stimulant to the and do not place much of any upon it as a means of building keeping up of the soil fertility. They plow under green crops, and plenty of barnyard manure, and place so much value on the retime from the factories that not land is ever left at the close of a assign. Each factory has a huge into which this lime is run and where the farmers get it paying sugar company a nominal sum then informed by Mr. Wallace our farmers plowed only six to in inches for beets, did not break the subsoil, and planted from to fifteen pounds of seed per the German farmers took it as are. Twenty pounds is the standard in Germany many, however, from 25 to 30 pounds, and give as their reason for this it gives a quicker germination gets through the ground ready the early work before their other is come on. With this amount need the first cultivation is fretly out of the way before the are through the ground, the evator being enabled to follow bows by the upheaval of the soil the beets are pushing through. also claim a much better stand any stands being absolutely per- the beet that has cost European countries many millions of dollars to wipe out and which still has a firm foothold in those countries. When he uses the pulp at all, as a fertilizer, it is in the most advanced stage of decomposition. The crop in Germany yields a little heavier than in Michigan. The average yield for the campaign just closed was 15 tons per acre with the sugar percentage about the same as in Michigan. They plow mostly with oxen and run a plow that turns over two furrows at a time. Farm lands all through the sectivision visited by Mr. Wallace was worth from $400 to $600 per acre and much of it had been under cultivation for 150 years or more. Farms run from 40 acres up, but few have the land in a bunch. Very frequenly a farmer's land will run in one, two and five acre strips and be scattered about over a considerable territory. The farmer is very particular about his land, and coming into possession of a new piece immediately opens up an account with it. He first analyzes the soil and learns its needs and then supplies them. Everything that goes onto the land is charged against the land and all that comes off is credited so that for years back one can tell just what each parcel of land has cost or given in return. The beet growing territory of Germany contains about as much territory as lower Michigan, and in that territory supports 334 sugar factories. The factories are not as great in capacity as our modern refineries, nor do they use the product from as gets through the ground ready the early work before their other comes on. With this amount used the first cultivation is fretely out of the way before the seeds are through the ground, the levator being enabled to follow bows by the upheaval of the soil like the beets are pushing through. It also claim a much better stand many stands being absolutely perfect in a field, while with us a perfect stand is rarely ever known. My plant in 16 and 18 inch rows, for more than 18 in their dark soils, and 16 in the lighter soils. Absolutely no spring plowing is waved for beets, contracts reading of the land shall be fall plowed if the German farmer has learned a contract is a binding obligation and he does not try to evade it. For any reason his land cannot be plowed he is excused from growbeets for that year by the company but his contract stands good must his property for the next month in case of his death. In the matter of cultivation his receives about the same care as us and the tools are very similar. Their deep plowing allows his to go down into the ground and there are few beets with sunned tops that have to lose half or weight in the tare room. The cultivation is somewhat deeper in the others, but only in the midof the row. Beets are cultivated on—very frequently up to within week or so of harvest, and always for more times after the leaves completely cover the ground. They commence the preparation crop seed bed as early as August when they summer fallow, sow to it and when in the pod turn unand are left to rot until spring; may be said in this connection at barnyard manure is used only in two or three years on same dial. While the German farmer uses up on his land he will never understand circumstance or condition use when pulp as he claims it will cerly breed nematodes, an enemy of that comes off is credited so that for years back one can tell just what each parcel of land has cost or given in return. The beet growing territory of Germany contains about as much territory as lower Michigan, and in that territory supports 334 sugar factories. The factories are not as great in capacity as our modern refineries, nor do they use the product from as many acres per factory. Contracts run about the same, from one acre up, and the delivery of the crop is on the same plan only when the German farmer has delivered what his call instructed him to he stops until he is notified to resume hauling and does not, as does his American neighbor, keep on hauling until he has hauled in the whole neighborhood crop. The German farmer, the man who owns his farm, is the "King Bee" in his country and enjoys a social position above the tradesman, professional man or shopman. The boys and girls do not leave the farm to seek a livelihood in the cities, but remain on the farm and enjoy a social distinction not reached by the city dwellers. The government by every possible method aims to stimulate and encourage every branch of agriculture, and for meritorious crops, or breeds, a government diploma or some other acknowledgment is extended. The German farmer is proud of his farm, and proud of his record as a farmer, and it is his aim from year to year to possess a much coveted government diploma. Mr. Wallace visited all of the big seed farms about Magdeburg, which is the sugar beet center of Germany, and witnessed their methods of testing the mother beets, threshing the seed, etc. He was in Germany for some time visiting among the farmers, and in the small villages, picking up such information as he felt would be useful to him when he got among the big fellows who knew his mission, and he found his plan had not miscarried, for he found the big ones loaded and he still labors under the impression that the Ameri- ROYAL Baking Powder Makes Clean Bread With Royal Baking Powder there is no mixing with the hands, no sweat of the brow.
