It has heretofore been . generally conceded, hat the Water Commissioners of the ‘kown of Berlin have conducted the of their department with skill mnd ability. Under their manageâ€" «ment (as shown _ by their financial ‘repwort of 1901), a profit was realâ€" Ized amounting to $7,927.35. $5,â€" §18.33 of this amount was collected for bydrant rental, leaving a balâ€" mnce of $3,109.02 as a surplus in the Mands of the commissioners collectâ€" fi directly from the water consumâ€"{ ers. As the profits of this departâ€" ment ‘are being largely used for the w of making extensions to the Water works system, it is quite reaâ€" sonable to consider the hydrant renâ€" tal nore too high, seeing that. this xental is paid out of the general gm. and the improvement . when F becomes the property of the town and affords additional protecâ€" tion from fire. The question, howâ€" ever,. very naturally arises whether the commissioners could, compatibly ;&wlth good business principles, reâ€" duce the water rates to consumetrs, in ratio â€" correspondingâ€"with the "amount of last year‘s profits. As go the application of the reve nue of municipal waterâ€"works . sys tems, chap. 235, sect. 38, R.

Clemens, â€" by m T. Richards, of St. Louis, an, and will be of much interâ€" est to beet growers throughout the County of Waterloo. The paper was considered such a helpful one that it has been printed in pamphlet form by â€" the Valley Sugar Co., for the benefit of its patrons. ‘The paper is complete as. follows: But there was, however, a large number of farmers who had been struggling with the hard times . of the few previous _ years who were willing to try almost anything that seemed to them the realization of an honest dollar. It was well, perhaps, that the piâ€" oneer factory of the State was comâ€" pelled to â€" branch out in different parts of the State for the securing of their acreage, for the results of the first year‘s experience were . S0 satisfactory and the profits realized were so great that the farmers were simply _ staggered, and as a result eight new factories were built _ the following season. And so the indusâ€" try has grown with rapid strides, until next year there will be grown over 100,000 acres for numerous difâ€" ferent factories, with an estimated tonnage of over one million tons which will distribute at least . five millions of dollars to the farmers of tke State. There will be a large number _ of farmers who will grow beets for the Arst time, and it is to you especialâ€" ly that I shall make a few suggesâ€" tions regarding the culture of beets as I have found them from my Own experience. Now the subject of "Sugar Beets,"‘ in all its phases is a broad one and ‘n the short time that I shall talk L cannot cover the subject in all its @etails, and when I have finished, if there is anything concerning what 1 have said or have not said you wish to ask, do so and I will answer to the best of my ability. Paying Crop on the Farm. { %~* ‘The first important factor for . a successful crop of beets is the selecâ€" tion of the soil, and in the beginning let me caution you, if you have a light sandy soil that has been cropâ€" jed and unfertilized, then leave the tects alone for your results will be unsatisfactory and you would probâ€" ably condemn the whole industry as unprofitable. But if you have & good clay loam,‘ clay or black sand loam soil, then establish a rotation with beets and you will be more than satisfied with the results. Of any of the soils 1 rave mentioued the best results are »btainable from clay loam. The black sand loam generally produces good tonnage, but the beets are apt *o be sprangley and covered _ with fibrous roots. The question may be asked here as ‘n many other places: ‘"‘What results ire obtained from such soil*" ‘This depends considerably upon the depth of the muck and its state . of decomposition. If it is not too deep and is thoroughly decomposed and mixed somewhat with the subsoil, then muck may be all right for beets, otherwise I would leave them alone on muck soil. Aiter you have decided that your farm contains the right kind of soil, and what I have seen of the lay of the land, I judge that you have . as good soil in Macomb County for the production of beets as can be found in the State, then arises the quesâ€" tionâ€"In what â€" fields shall I sow them? This largely depends upon what rotation you wish to follow, for to be continuously successful | a rotation must be established with ‘(lover as the important element. Our own rotation consists of clovâ€" er, corn, beets, and oats or barley, leaving out wheat as we consider ‘aking one year with another, wheat to be unprofitable; however, wheat might be established making a fiveâ€" year rotation, or corn might be left out, making a three years‘ rotation, \iolloving clover with beets. t Or, if you have not established a‘ rotation and have a wheat, oat Of barley or pea stubble, any of these are excellent to follow with beets. The manure of the farm put on the clover sod and put to corn and wheat again, plowed for beets, you have the manure~ accessible and an excellent seed bed for the beets. Or *ontrary to the opinion of many agâ€" ticultarists, manure may be plowed under or even & light top dress withâ€" out deteriorating the quality of beets and greatly increasing the tonnage. On the preparation of the soil, too much cannot be said. If any of the beforeâ€" mentioned crops are to be followed, it possible the ground should be fall plowed. &fn ground is not so necessary to plow SsELECTION OF SOIL SUGAR BEETS PREPARING THE SOIL ROT ATION not established a and | But I believe more . elements zf ers‘ | frosts slacken â€" by |heavy clap 1 m ~by uis, | the washing leaching. . Another terâ€" |advantage of fail plowing is you are the |enabled to turn an inch or two of was |raw soil, giving it time to be sub t it |dued during the winter, thus giving orm | a good deep seed bed. This extra â€" the Mp)ovhg'honldmtu(ou in er is | the spring. In discing fall plowed ground or in spring plowing, follow &fly with that _ cheapest and most effective farm tool, the float or plank drag; by so doing the ground is puiverized before the lumps become hardened, giving a firm seed hed. Furthermore don‘t make the mistake of thinking that if the soil is well firmed, that the beets cannot penetrate down deep, but use the roller and drag; firm the ground much the same . as you would tor wheat. I have noâ€" ticed that invariably the best beets of the field were found in the ends where 1 hardest Just previous to sowing the seed use a weeder or light spike tooth drag giving the soil a smooth _ surâ€" face, yet leaving a light mulch _ to conserve moisture and prevent crustâ€" ing. ~ The contracts for your factory doubtless read that you shall sow fifteen pounds of seed per acre. This you may think is too much, but unâ€" der present conditions, with drills ' 1 C sn y id dottsin n o on n I which we have in use, I would rathâ€" er sow more than a less amount. ‘The inventive genius of the Yankee will, doubtless in the course of time, perfect a machine for dropping â€" in hills, making a saving both in _ the thinningâ€" and seed. But at present, tools that I have seen for that purâ€" pose do far fromâ€"satisfactory . work. You cannot afford to run the risk of a poor stand by scrimping in the seed, for it takes but a few beets skipped here and there to make _ a considerable difference in your tonâ€" nage. 11 you are sowing any considerable acreage matters may be greatly {aâ€" >ilitated by making three or four lifferent plantings, commencing the first of May and the last by the first of June. This will give you a chance to thin your beets without employing so many different helpers. As soon as the beets are large enâ€" ough to see the rows commence the cultivators and keep them going unâ€" til some â€" time in August. Use a two or four row cultivator. We purchased four rows because we Can make a two row from a four rOW, and if the grourd is level there are many times after the beets get large when just as serviceable work _ can be done with a four row as with a two row, getting over twice the ground with the same labor. ‘The cultivators in use are . all much the same principle and when you have used them for a while you will change them so the manufacturâ€" ers scarcely know them, cutting off part of the scalper and substituting wider shovels for the bull tongues. he weeder is also an excellent tool to use in the cultivation of the crop. t should be used before thinning and its use is to break the crust and stir the ground in the row where the culâ€" tivator cannot touch. KEEP THE CULTIVATORS GOâ€" â€" ING. The thinning of the crop is anothâ€" er matter that will require some caution. Don.t leave your beets too thick; this is apt to be the trouble with new growers. It seems to them a waste of beets to cut out so many. The first yeat we grew beets a fourâ€"inch hoe was used, the next ;e:r"a. sixâ€"inch hoe, and next year we shall use an eightâ€"inch hoe altoâ€" gether. This leaves the M- about Cm Nt ues nine inches in the row, and with the rows 18 inches .E'l.x:t' they are none too thick. The thinning is one thing that must be attended to on time, for every day‘s delay after the beets wave atiained the proper size for hinning, which is about the fourth eaf, means dollars out of your pocâ€" ket. This work requires considerable laâ€" bor. 1t is amusing, however, to note the difference now and when the ‘ndustry first started. I remember hearing the statement of a prominâ€" ent agriculturist of this State that t required 74 days‘ labor to thin an acre of beets. Last season two of our neighbor‘s boys took a job of hinning 64 acres of beets commencâ€" ing Monday morning and they finishâ€" ed Saturday noon. Of course this is a little extra, but many thin an acre n three days. In our section most growers hirt by the row, a standard Lagr en "ofrrmaiey / uP F wice being 12} cents for 40 rods. This® amounts to $5.50 per acre. soys and girls can make anywhere trom one to two dollars per day. ‘The diferent growers have different methods of thinning. Some use long andled hoes and space, then follow and thin. Others space and thin at the same time. With us we find the most satisfactory method is space and then thin, as it is more restful o the worker and I think a more satisfactory job can be done in that After thinning all that need . be done is to keep the cultivator â€" goâ€" ing, )and if any weeds appear, pull '._hve"grdin;d was packed . the AMOUNT OF SEED THINNING few years to accomplish Dy. of harvestiers. ..

Aiter the beets are w--g the lifter, then pull from four to rows together, beets one way and wmow,umtthyulh easily handled without turning, then uplldthwwtnwcnh-u basâ€" kets, putting them into piles from two tons up. If you have a team you can draw them together much easier than you can them, alâ€" ufii_h&ow:‘a-. for the mt the piles the more ul.n.nug they can be loaded for delivâ€" ery to the factory. ‘ The beets which we intend deliverâ€" ingâ€"to the factory after November ist, which with us is twoâ€"thirds or threeâ€"fourths of the crop, should be pitted, covered with dirt when pulled then later a little more dirt. Some however, use nothing but leaves, and some leaves when pulled then dirt. Any of these ways seems to be all right omm ‘The pulling of the crop, as I have stated, requires wonsiderable labor and with us this work is done by the row, 16 cents for forty rods being the standard price. This makes the cost, including one dollar for lifting and. one dollar for covering, about $9 per acre. â€" The two young men I spoke of thinning the beets, harvested 15 acres this fall in a little over . four weeks. Many seem afraid of the help question. In our County, Gratiot, with no large city within its bounâ€" daries, 8,000 acres are taken care of with but very little outside help. Inâ€" delivering the crop to the facâ€" tory don‘t be discouraged if they cannot handle the beets as fast as you can deliver them, but turn your attention to harvesting them in good weather, and wait until frozen roads for the delivering as you can then haul a much larger _ load, therefore \much cheaper. We use flat racks with detachable gides as they can be much more quickly unloaded than a deep rack. ‘The hed pieces are deep enough to put the load over the wheels and a rack six feet wide and 14 feet long and sideboards 2 feet high will hold about four tons . which is a pretty fair load. When some men are approached in regard to growing beets they _ will argue that the cost of growing beets is so great and there is so much laâ€" bor required that there can be little or no profit. ... w . . 120 q 0 00a ""What difference about the labor? It requires labor for any crop . We grow, and it is the crop that will yield the greatest net returns for A given amount of labor that we . as farmers ought to grow. ""The difference between a beet crop and any other crop is the beet crop will yield enough to hire every dolâ€" lar‘s worth of labor and still leave you a§s much as any nther crop with the labor thrown in.
